I, Hiroshi Nohara, the star of Japanese cinema

Chapter 106: Transformation of Nohara Sashi! Promote the eldest brother to be the farmer!

"Cough cough!" Nohara Tsuru finally couldn't bear it anymore. She coughed twice and glared at her old man fiercely. The warning in her eyes was enough to freeze the cold current in Siberia.

Nohara Ginnosuke shuddered for a moment, and the smug expression on his face froze. He quickly picked up the teacup and pretended that he had not said anything just now, and that he was just a quiet and handsome man who was obsessed with the tea ceremony.

The awkward atmosphere was instantly resolved by Nohara Tsuru with a gentleness and enthusiasm that was almost innate.

"Miya-chan, come on, try this. This sea urchin sushi is the signature dish of this restaurant. Guangzhi always said he would bring us here to eat when he called before." She picked up a piece of golden, tempting, plump sea urchin gunkan roll and put it on the plate in front of Miya.

"And this one, Wagyu beef, try it and see if you like it."

"This is sweet shrimp. Girls like sweet food."

Nohara Hiroshi watched from the side, feeling a little dazed.

He watched helplessly as his mother, who used to engage in a 300-round verbal battle with the neighbor's aunt in the vegetable market over the price of a scallion in Oquji City, Akita Prefecture, transformed into the most elegant and considerate lady.

And Meiya, who was always as energetic as a little sun at home, has become a well-behaved and quiet lady who can only say "Thank you, Auntie" and "Auntie, you eat too" with a blushing face.

The two women hit it off right away and seemed to have endless things to talk about.

From the recent weather in Tokyo to the rice harvest in Akita Prefecture this year; from the interesting things that happened to Misae in college to Nohara Tsuru's unique secret recipe for pickled vegetables when he was young.

The atmosphere was so harmonious that Hiroshi Nohara even had an illusion - he, his father and his elder brother were the three unnecessary outsiders in this box.

He looked at his mother's eyes full of love, and Mei Ya's smile which became more and more charming after she relaxed, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart.

In the memory of the previous life, the relationship between Misae and her mother-in-law Nohara Tsuru in the plot was famously good.

Every time they go back to their hometown in Akita, the two of them are as close as real mother and daughter, leaving him, their biological son and husband, aside.

This destined relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was originally destined from the first time they met.

Nohara Hiroshi was quite satisfied with this.

……

After a dinner that was enjoyable to both the host and the guests, it was already late at night.

The Toyota Crown Majestic stopped smoothly in front of a hotel that looked quite expensive.

Nohara Hiroshi led his family and quickly booked two adjacent luxury suites at the front desk.

He handed one of the room cards to his eldest brother Nohara Sashi: "Brother, you have one room to yourself, and Dad and Mom have another. Have a good rest at night."

"Oh...oh..." Nohara Sashi's palms were sweating as he held the exquisitely crafted room card. He felt like he was holding not a card, but a stack of walking Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Nohara Ginnosuke, under the dazzling crystal chandelier in the hotel lobby, was drunk with his face flushed and his eyes flashing with eagerness.

He put his arm around his eldest son's shoulders, lowered his voice, and said with a tone full of experience: "Xizhi, wait a minute... you go to sleep first. I, your father, plan to go out and experience Tokyo's nightlife and see how big Greater Tokyo is!"

As he spoke, his lustful little eyes began to sparkle with excitement.

"You old pervert! Where do you want to go?!"

A low growl filled with suppressed anger sounded in his ears.

Nohara Ginnosuke turned his head stiffly, only to see his wife Nohara Tsuru standing behind him with a dark face. Her eyes, which were always as gentle as water, were now burning with a karmic fire that could burn everything.

"I... I'm not going anywhere! I'll just... I'll go back to my room and sleep!" Nohara Ginnosuke sobered up in an instant.

"late!"

Nohara Tsuru grabbed his ear and dragged him towards the room like a sack of disobedient potatoes.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ah He! It hurts! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Let go! Please save my face in front of the children!!"

The shrill screams echoed in the magnificent hotel corridor, scaring a passing waiter so much that he almost dropped the tray in his hand. He looked at the scene with horror, as if he was watching the filming of a family ethics drama.

Nohara Hiroshi held his forehead helplessly and shrugged at his eldest brother: "Take good care of mom and dad."

Then, he pulled Xiaoshan Meiya, who had been trying to hold back her laughter until her whole body was shaking, covering her mouth and shrugging her shoulders, and fled away from the "crime scene".

After getting into the car, Meiya finally couldn't help herself and burst into a silver bell-like laughter.

"Hehehe... Guangzhi, uncle he... he is so funny!" She laughed so hard that tears came out. She leaned on the passenger seat, gasping for breath: "You... you really don't look like uncle at all!"

Nohara Hiroshi started the car and glanced at her unhappily after hearing this: "What if I look like him? Wouldn't our family be in chaos every day?"

"That's true." Meiya nodded in agreement, then winked slyly and said in a long tone: "But... in some aspects, I think you still have great potential~"

"Oh?" Nohara Hiroshi raised his eyebrows, a dangerous arc appearing at the corner of his mouth, "For example?"

While driving, he stretched out his right hand, accurately grabbed her tender hand that was restlessly poking his arm, and squeezed it gently.

Meiya's face turned red in an instant. She wanted to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly.

"Looks like I'm going to punish you severely." Nohara Hiroshi's voice lowered a few notches, with a hint of magnetic hoarseness: "I feel I need to prove to you that the 'demeanor' of men in our Nohara family is engraved in our genes."

The car drove into the underground garage of the apartment. When the door closed with a "click", the whole world became quiet.

Nohara Hiroshi pushed Misae against the door panel, lowered his head and kissed her.

"Ugh... Hiroshi..." Misae struggled and yelled, "The floor is too hard, my knees can't take it."

"Don't talk." Guangzhi's voice trembled.

"...You...you are a bad guy!" Mei Ya's voice was unclear.

Only Guangzhi's trembling voice was heard: "Then let me show you how a bad guy teaches a disobedient little girl a lesson."

……

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the blinds, casting mottled shadows on the floor, Nohara Hiroshi finally supported himself on his waist, which felt as if it had been plowed by a hundred oxen, and struggled to sit up from the bed.

He let out a long breath, feeling that every part of his body was groaning under the heavy burden.

The field is a good field.

It's just a cow, it's almost exhausted to death.

He turned his head and looked at the messy battlefield beside him and the person who was supposed to be lying on it, but found that it was already empty.

A rich aroma of milk drifted over from the direction of the kitchen.

Hiroshi Nohara put on his pajamas and followed the scent, only to see Misae Koyama wearing her wide apron, humming a tuneless tune, and busying herself in the kitchen.

Her long, smooth hair was casually tied into a bun, revealing a fair and graceful neck.

The morning light gave her a soft golden edge, and the peaceful appearance of the years instantly filled Nohara Hiroshi's heart.

"Are you awake?" Mei Ya heard the noise and turned around, a smile brighter than the sun blooming on her face: "I heated up some milk for you, drink it while it's hot."

"Don't bother. I'm not going to have breakfast at home today." Nohara Hiroshi walked forward, put his arms around her slender waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and took a deep breath of the fragrance of her hair. "I plan to take my family to Tokyo to travel around and eat outside."

"I know." Mei Ya turned around, stood on tiptoe, and pecked him lightly on the lips. Her big obsidian eyes gleamed with a cunning light: "But this glass of milk is not for breakfast. It's... specially for nourishing your body~"

"..."

Several clearly visible black lines suddenly appeared on Nohara Hiroshi's forehead.

He looked at the girl in front of him who was smiling like a little fox that had stolen some meat, and felt that his dignity as a man had been challenged like never before.

"Very well." He said through gritted teeth, scooped her up in his arms, and placed her on the cold kitchen counter. "Looks like last night's lesson wasn't profound enough. Today, right here in the kitchen, I'll show you whether I really need 'nourishment' or not!" "Hey! Hiroshi! What are you doing! Put me down! Mom and Dad are still waiting at the hotel!" Misae exclaimed.

"Wait a moment, it's okay. Let them know that the men in our Nohara family are all energetic!" Nohara Hiroshi was annoyed.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, the black Toyota Crown Majestic was on the road again.

This time, the atmosphere in the car was filled with tourist-like excitement and novelty.

Nohara Hiroshi was driving intently, while Nohara Ginnosuke, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was like a child coming to the city for the first time, with his entire face almost pressed against the car window.

"Wow! A-Tsuru! Sashi! Look! That building is so tall! The top is almost touching the sky!"

"And that! That big screen! It's even bigger than the open-air movie screen in our village!"

"Oh my god! Why do women in Tokyo wear so little?! It's... it's too outrageous! Hehehe..."

In the back row, Nohara Tsuru, who was sandwiched in the middle, was looking helplessly at the bustling street scene rapidly receding outside the window. From time to time, he would reach out and pat his eldest son who was also stunned.

"Xizhi, close your mouth, your saliva is almost flowing out."

Mi-sae, who was sitting on the other side, was like a most competent tour guide, smiling and introducing the scenery along the way to these relatives from Akita.

"Uncle, that red and white iron tower in front is Tokyo Tower."

"Mom, we're about to pass by the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens. The pine trees there are so beautifully trimmed."

"Brother, do you see that street? That's Akihabara, where they sell a lot of novel electronics."

When the car finally drove into the commercial district of Ginza, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and stopped in front of Mitsukoshi Department Store, the Nohara family, except Hiroshi and Misae who were already accustomed to it, were all completely stunned by the gorgeous world before them, which was composed of luxury goods, neon lights and surging crowds, as if they were under a spell.

"Let's go, first stop of the day, shopping."

Nohara Hiroshi casually threw the car keys to the parking attendant, holding Misae in one hand and greeting his family members who were still in a daze with the other, and strode into the hall that symbolized wealth and taste.

The next few hours were like a bizarre dream for Nohara Ginnosuke, Nohara Tsuru, and Nohara Sashi.

They watched Nohara Hiroshi strolling leisurely among the rows of brand-name stores with astronomical price tags, like a king inspecting his territory.

"This windbreaker is nice, Dad, try it."

"Mom, the material of this kimono suits your temperament very well."

"Brother, you have a good figure, this suit will definitely fit you well."

He swiped the card without blinking, as if those expensive clothes that his elder brother thought were enough to buy a cow were just T-shirts that cost a few hundred yen at a roadside stall.

From casual Burberry trench coats to formal Armani suits to hand-tailored top-quality kimonos.

Three sets for one person, looking brand new from the inside out.

When the family walked out of the dressing room, all the salesgirls at the counter were staring at them.

Nohara Ginnosuke had a small belly and was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit. The vulgar temperament of a country rich man was suppressed a little, and he had more of the style of a successful entrepreneur.

Nohara Tsuru changed into a lavender visiting kimono, and her gentle and quiet temperament was set off to look even more elegant and noble, just like those noble ladies who appeared in high society banquets.

The one who changed the most was Nohara Sashi.

Years of physical labor gave him a naturally well-built body. When he put on the sharp black suit, paired with the tie and leather shoes that Guangzhi had chosen for him, the simple farmer image instantly disappeared.

Instead, there is an urban man with a burly figure, a resolute face, and full of mature masculine charm.

"I... I still think... it's such a waste." Looking at the figure in the mirror that even he himself felt unfamiliar with, Nohara Sashi was still making a final struggle. He said with a pained look on his face, "Hiroshi, these clothes... are too expensive. I do farm work at home and can't afford such nice clothes. How about... how about returning them? It would be so much better to convert them into cash."

"Who told you to wear this to do farm work?" Nohara Hiroshi smiled.

He did not argue with his elder brother about whether to be frugal or wasteful as he did when they were children.

He simply walked over to his elder brother, helped him straighten his tie, and then asked in a calm, yet unquestionable tone:

"Brother, let me ask you, how much land does our family have now?"

"Land?" Nohara Sashi was stunned for a moment, then answered subconsciously, "It's still the same. About five mu, or about half a hectare. In Daqu City, I'd be considered a small rural landowner."

"Yeah," Nohara Tsuru interjected. "Some time ago, someone from the agricultural association came to our house specifically to look for Sashi. They said the country has a new policy encouraging farmers like us to pool our land, buy more plots, establish agricultural corporations, and operate on a large scale. This way, we can get more subsidies and it will be easier to get bank loans."

Nohara Hiroshi's eyes lit up instantly.

Co., Ltd.! Agricultural management!
These words, like a bolt of lightning, instantly struck a switch deep in his mind.

He knew better than anyone that Japan's seemingly flourishing economy was merely the last hurrah before the bubble burst. In a few years, the economic crisis sweeping the nation would arrive.

By that time, stocks will become worthless, real estate will be worthless, and countless white-collar workers who have been living a prosperous life in office buildings will become unemployed overnight and end up on the streets.

The only ones that can withstand this storm, or even go against the current, are the most basic and indispensable physical industries.

For example... agriculture!
A bold, even crazy idea quickly took shape in his mind.

He turned around and looked at his elder brother with a look that was more serious than ever before.

"Brother, let's...work together."

"Ah?" Nohara Sashi looked confused.

"Let's set up an agricultural corporation!" Nohara Hiroshi's voice was quiet but resounding. "We'll combine our family's land, as well as any land we can buy in the surrounding area, to create a large, modern farm!"

He paused, glancing at his parents, who were already stunned by his words, and continued, "I'll provide the money, the business ideas, and be responsible for supervision and developing sales channels. Big brother, you provide the technology and be responsible for daily management and production. Together, we brothers will make something big!"

The entire counter fell into deathly silence.

Everyone looked at Hiroshi Nohara as if he were a madman.

"Hiroshi... Hiroshi... You... You don't have a fever, do you?" Nohara Ginnosuke was the first to react. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his youngest son's forehead: "Do you know how much money it costs to set up a joint-stock company? That... That's tens of millions of yen! You..."

"money is not a problem."

Hiroshi Nohara interrupted his father, took out his wallet from the inside pocket of his suit, pulled out a payslip and handed it over.

“Here’s my bonus slip from last month.”

Nohara Ginnosuke took the thin piece of paper suspiciously. When he saw the number on it clearly, his small eyes, which always flashed with cunning light, suddenly widened like two copper bells!

"One... ten... a hundred... a thousand... ten thousand... a hundred thousand... a million..."

He counted the string of zeros tremblingly, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

"Three...three million yen?! This...this is just your monthly bonus?!"

This number, like a blockbuster bomb, exploded in the hearts of the Nohara family!

They knew that Guangzhi was doing well in Tokyo, but they never expected that he was doing so well!
Three million yen!
In Akita Prefecture, this amount of money is enough for an average family to save for half a year without eating or drinking!
And this is just his bonus for one month!

Nohara Hiroshi looked at his family members who were completely stunned, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

He knew that from today on, his position in this family would no longer be just that of the "promising youngest son."

He will be the real pillar of the entire Nohara family!

The first step of "Big Brother's Happiness Transformation Plan" starts with "Nohara Agriculture Co., Ltd."
