Nobita, quickly use your invincible treasure bag to think of a solution!

Tanjiro is already thirteen years old this year, and it is still winter, so the arrival of Muzan and the massacre of the Kamado family on a snowy night are not far away.

……

Thinking of that face that deserved a beating, Takeo wanted to throw his gloves on that guy's face and make him leave the Kamado family with his dirty money. What did that guy think of his sister Nezuko?

But when he thought about his brother Tanjiro not having to work so hard selling charcoal, his sister Nezuko not having to live a hard life, and his younger brothers and sisters being able to go to school, Takeo did not dare to refuse that guy.

Is having money a big deal?

The young man roared angrily at a certain young master in his heart.

Just as the boy turned his anger into strength and fought against the snow in the yard, he heard cheerful laughter and excited chatter in the distance.

It’s Hanako and Xiao Mao!

Ah, and that annoying Nobita!

Wait a minute, why did Tanjiro come back with that guy? And they were talking and laughing?

Takeo hates a guy who wears a white kimono and has a buzz cut.

Hanako and Xiao Mao, who had changed into new clothes, walked side by side, each holding a gift they had bought for their family. They talked and laughed along the way, discussing what they had seen and heard during their time at the foot of the mountain.

Nobita carried a bucket of water on his shoulders and followed the two children, while Tanjiro next to him was looking at the photos and the camera in his hands, quite amazed at these new things.

"I didn't expect that painters nowadays don't use pens to draw people. It would have been nice if they had this when grandma and dad were alive."

Tanjiro held the camera in his hand and suddenly felt sad that when his grandmother and father passed away, they didn't even leave a portrait. If there were photos, at least he could recall what they looked like when he paid his respects every year.

"The dead are gone, and the living must move on. Tanjiro, although grandma and father-in-law were not able to take a photo, we can still take a photo. The whole family is here today, so why not take a photo together." Nobita patted Tanjiro's shoulder, comforting the sentimental boy.

Tanjiro's eyes lit up with excitement: "Is it okay? This camera can draw a picture... er, I mean take a picture. It will be troublesome, right?"

Nobita waved his hand: "Don't worry, taking pictures is not difficult, just press the shutter, the operation is very simple, let's go, let's take a few pictures and try it out."

"okay!"

Tanjiro walked quickly towards home. He couldn't wait to take a picture of his family.

Chapter 291 Taking Photos

"Mom, look over here!"

"what?"

Click!

The flash went off and a picture spat out from under the camera.

The photo shows a simple kitchen with Sukiyaki being cooked on the stove. In the steaming heat, a beautiful woman with a turban on her head and a white scarf on her body is holding a spoon, preparing to taste the Sukiyaki. Suddenly, she is blinded by the flash and closes her eyes.

Tanjiro looked at the photo in his hand, then looked at his mother Aoi, and said with some regret: "What a pity, Mom, it would be better if you could open your eyes."

Walking in front of Aoi, Tanjuro handed her the photo. Aoi saw herself in the photo, looked at her clothes, and then looked at the photo, and was quite surprised.

"Tanjiro, is the person in this... picture me?"

Kuizhi couldn't believe her eyes. How could her image suddenly "click" and "swish" turn into this real picture?

She had no idea how the camera worked, nor did she understand why her image appeared on such a small piece of paper.

Compared with the outside world, Kuizhi and her children are like living in ancient times and have no understanding of modern technology.

The towns at the foot of the mountain have all had electricity and electric lights, but the Kamado family is still using oil lamps, which is proof that they are out of touch with the times.

Now is the Taisho period. The Meiji era has just ended, and all kinds of new things have flooded into Japan, such as cinemas, phonographs, cameras, etc. This is the best era and is also known as the most romantic era.

The Chinese danced in a ball with Western decorations;

Soldiers waiting for steam locomotives at Tokyo Station with high spirits;

Female students wearing two-shaku sleeves and hakama with bows tied on their heads study hard in the classroom;

Gentlemen in suits and literati in kimonos chat elegantly in coffee shops, while maids elegantly serve coffee with fresh cream;

Common people were fortunate enough to be able to enter the theater and watch the plays of the Takarazuka Revue.

But these things have nothing to do with the Kamado family. As people who grew up in the mountains, the prosperity of the city has nothing to do with mountain people like Tanjiro. Standing on Mount Kumotori, you cannot see the Sensō-ji Temple in Tokyo, you can only see the town below the mountain.

Just like in the original plot, Tanjiro was at a loss after bringing Nezuko to Asakusa. The prosperity of the city made him feel at a loss, and he could only choose to take his sister to a dark corner. If Muzan had not intervened in their lives, perhaps Tanjiro would still be burning charcoal in the mountains, selling charcoal down the mountain, and finally abandoned by the times.

Natural gas is much more convenient than charcoal!

In short, Kuizhi and others, who have never seen the prosperity of the city, are completely unable to understand the magic of technology.

In the entire Kamado family, only Tanjiro and his son Tanjuro could be considered educated people. But even so, they only studied in a private school for a short period of time and had not even attended the elementary school converted from the private school. They were also semi-illiterate.

As for the other members of the Kamado family, they were also illiterate and had little education.

Having said that, the cultural level of Tanjiro's team in this plot is also very different: Zenitsu > Tanjiro > Nezuko > Inosuke.

Zenitsu was abandoned by his parents at birth and grew up in the city. With the current school enrollment rate of 98% in Japan and the fact that Zenitsu can understand the letters sent by Sakuragi, Zenitsu must be educated. After all, he has been a bootlicker and was cheated of money. How can a teenager make money without some education?

Tanjiro's cultural level ranks second, nothing much to say.

Nezuko has never been to school and only learned how to write from her brother for a few days, so she is semi-illiterate.

As for the last Inosuke, he was truly illiterate. If he hadn't met the old man with Alzheimer's disease when he was a child, he might not even be able to speak.

Muzan, the knowledgeable and cultured Demon King, could be forced into a desperate situation by this group of illiterate people who have no culture and are only hot-blooded. It can be seen that Muzan is also a useless person.

……

After Tanjiro's introduction, Aoi understood that this so-called camera is a treasure that can record the time of other people. People will grow old, but photos will not, and the images in the photos will still be preserved.

So when Aoi heard that Tanjiro and Nobita wanted to take a family photo and individual photos, she was very happy.

The suggestion of taking a family portrait was naturally agreed by the whole family. After breakfast, the seven members of the Kamado family each washed and dressed, put on their best clothes, and prepared to take a family portrait.

The family of seven put on new clothes, washed and dressed up, and came to the cleaned space in the yard, ready to take pictures.

After taking off her headscarf and apron, Aoi put on a purple plum blossom kimono that she had sewn herself. Her long hair was tied up with a golden flying crane tassel hairpin, making her look dignified, elegant, mature and steady.

Aoi was sitting on a chair, holding her youngest son Rokuta in her arms. The youngest son of the Kamado family, who had short hair with bangs, was wearing a navy blue kimono with white diamond patterns on it, and looked very cute.

Next to Aoi stood Laowu Xiaomao, wearing a dark blue striped kimono and a gray scarf around his neck.

Behind Aoi and the other two, on the right stood Tanjiro, wearing a black and green Ichimatsu pattern haori jacket. His long crimson hair was simply tied into a ponytail with a hairband, and he had a fringe of bangs in front of his forehead, which just covered the scar on his forehead.

On Tanjiro's right is the young boy Takeo with teardrop moles at the corners of his eyes. On his dark green kimono is the same Ichimatsu pattern scarf as his brother. The little brat has a look of disdain on his face and turns sideways, as if he doesn't want to look at someone in front of him.

On Tanjiro's left hand side is Nezuko, a girl with long hair tied up with a blue red spider lily hairpin and wearing a cherry pink kimono. Nezuko is hugging her brother Tanjiro with her right hand and her sister Hanako with her left hand, with a beautiful smile.

Hanako, a girl with a princess-style hairstyle, a small flower hairpin on her forehead and a flesh-colored kimono, also has a smile on her face, which is quite similar to her sister Nezuko.

"Cheese!" X7

Nobita pressed the shutter, and the camera took a picture of the seven members of the Kamado family, leaving a group photo of the Kamado family. Except for Takeo who deliberately made a face at Nobita, and Rokuta who caught a cold and sneezed, scaring Aoi who was standing next to him, this color photo is quite good.

After seeing the photo, Nobita was not satisfied and planned to ask Tanjiro and the others to take another one. However, Aoi thought that this photo was more lively and active, and there was no need to take a group photo with fixed smiles, which would feel a little fake.

Aoi spoke personally and Nobita did not force it. She then handed the camera to Tanjiro and asked Tanjiro to practice taking pictures.

Tanjiro is very interested in taking photos. In his own words, he "likes to record the beautiful side of things."

Nobita's camera is a Polaroid camera from the future. It does not use film but uses memory cards. Tanjiro can take pictures of whatever he wants without having to worry about insufficient memory or the photos not being able to be developed.

On the other side, while Tanjiro was taking pictures of his brothers and sisters, Hanako and Komo told their mother Aoi about what they saw and heard at the foot of the mountain, such as what the elementary school they were about to go to looked like, how many classmates there were in it, and what the teacher looked like.

Regarding what happened in elementary school, Takeo, who was standing next to him, was quite envious, with stars in his eyes. However, when Takeo met Nobita's eyes, he put on an angry look, snorted coldly, and turned his head away, as if he was ignoring Nobita.

"This little brat has lost all his tsundere attitude... Just tell me if you want to go to school, you stubborn boy." Nobita sighed and shook his head.

"Nobita, come and take a photo of me, Nezuko, Hanako and the others." On the other side, Tanjiro waved at Nobita.

"Oh, here we come."

Nobita stopped thinking about Takeo and turned to take pictures of Tanjiro.

Chapter 292 Angry Tanjiro

"Ah ah!!!"

From the kitchen came the sounds of Tanjiro roaring and smashing things. All the pots, pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt flew out of the kitchen.

Aoi was kneeling on the ground with her hair loose, watching her eldest son smashing things in the kitchen. She looked painful and said with tears in her eyes, "Tanjiro..."

Takeo, Hanako and Shigeru were standing outside, not knowing how to go in and persuade Tanjiro in the kitchen.

"Mom, my brother?"

Nezuko carries her younger brother Rokuta to her mother Aoi. She doesn't understand why her brother Tanjiro suddenly goes crazy, and wants to get an answer from her mother.

She couldn't understand why her brother became like this and even drove Nobita away. What happened between them?

Nezuko recalled what happened today, and couldn't understand why the two people broke up. They were getting along well yesterday, so why did it turn out like this today?

This morning, brother Tanjiro came back from the foot of the mountain on his tricycle, but he didn't sell much of the charcoal on the tricycle. After the snow yesterday, the demand for charcoal from each household at the foot of the mountain increased greatly. Yesterday, Tanjiro sold a lot of charcoal, which resulted in a sharp decrease in the demand for charcoal among the neighbors at the foot of the mountain today, so Tanjiro didn't sell much of the charcoal.

Nezuko remembered that after Nobita found out that Tanjiro hadn't sold the charcoal, he suggested baking some glutinous rice cakes, rice cakes and sweet potatoes in the yard, saying that everyone was idle anyway and might as well eat something good.

The roasted golden glutinous rice cakes, the fragrant rice cakes, and the roasted sweet potatoes that are black on the outside and golden on the inside are all delicacies that are not often eaten. They are deeply loved by the Kamado family. The roasted sweet potatoes and glutinous rice cakes were quickly eaten up. Nezuko remembered that after the glutinous rice cakes were eaten up, her mother went to the kitchen to prepare them, and Nobita followed her to the kitchen in the name of helping to make them.

Everyone in the backyard had finished eating the roasted sweet potatoes, so the elder brother Tanjiro went to the cellar behind the kitchen to get the sweet potatoes. As a result, no one knew what happened afterwards. Nobita was running in front, and his brother was chasing him from behind, waving a wood-chopping axe.

A few minutes later, the brother finally came back, threw the axe in his hand to the ground, sulked alone, then rushed into the kitchen and started smashing things. The mother wanted to stop him, but was knocked to the ground by him instead.

Finally, it became like this!

"Ahhh, you bastard, you son of a bitch, you beast!"

Tanjiro was in an angry state, his red hair swaying like fire. After rushing out of the kitchen, he looked up at the sky and shouted loudly.

"Brother, what happened between you and Nobita? Did something happen?" Nezuko came to Tanjiro with her younger brother in her arms, wanting to ask him what happened.

“Ah, don’t mention this bastard to me, he, he actually… ah, ah, ah!”

Tanjiro looked at his confused brother and sister and his ashamed mother and wanted to tell the truth, but that was not a good thing. It would be embarrassing enough to tell it out loud. And if he was asked to lie, he was an honest child and his facial expressions would be out of control when he lied. Everyone in the family knew this, so he couldn't lie to his family at all.

There was no choice but to rush into the bedroom with an angry look on his face, bypassing Nezuko.

After arriving at his parents' bedroom, the lingering smell in the bedroom immediately gathered in Tanjiro's nose. At that moment, he understood everything. The anger that had just subsided was burning again. He wanted to vent his anger, but after looking for a long time, he found that the house was empty and there was really nothing to smash.

It was not until Tanjiro put his eyes on the ceiling that the sunlight gathered by the [Transparent Greenhouse] fell into the room, making the whole room warm.

"Our family doesn't need any help from this guy!"

Tanjiro clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and the blood vessels in his neck bulged like earthworms and moved to his face. He kicked his feet, jumped three feet high, and took down the greenhouse ring on the ceiling.

After removing the greenhouse ring in his mother's bedroom, Tanjiro turned around and went into his own bedroom and removed the greenhouse ring installed there as well.

At this time, the younger brothers and sisters who heard the news rushed over. When they entered the house, they saw Tanjiro walking out with two greenhouse rings in their hands.

Takeo stood in front of Tanjiro and asked, "Brother, what's going on? Why are you dismantling the greenhouse?"

Although Takeo hates Nobita, he only hates Nobita's style of doing things, not the help Nobita gives to their family.

Anyone who is not a fool can understand that Nezuko can only live a good life if she marries a young master like Nobita. And on the bright side, if Nobita marries more wives, Nezuko won't be so tired. Takeo has seen how hard his mother was when she was pregnant with Rokuta. At least Nezuko will become a young lady, and there will be someone to take care of her when she gets pregnant in the future. She won't be like her mother, who has to go around in circles at the gates of hell every time she gives birth.

To be honest, Nobita treated their family well and even arranged a school for Hanako and Komochi. In the future, their family would not have to pass down the profession of charcoal selling from generation to generation. Even being an elementary school teacher would be more respectable than being a charcoal selling person and would earn more money.

It would have been fine if Takeo didn't ask Tanjiro. After he asked, Tanjiro became even angrier and threw the greenhouse ring in his hand away: "Our family doesn't need that guy's things. From now on, our family will have nothing to do with him. We can still survive the winter without his greenhouse ring. I will work hard to pay him back the money I owe him. From now on... don't mention this person again! We don't know him!"

Tanjiro's tone was so decisive that there was no room for doubt.

For others, the eldest son's words are effective, but the effect may not be good. However, in the Kamado family, where the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister is like a mother, Tanjiro is the head of the family, and his words carry as much weight as Aoi's.

Moreover, Aoi, who knew she was wrong, would not deny Tanjiro's decision. She was wrong for not explicitly rejecting Nobita, even if it was something like using her own body in exchange for a happy life for her family. It would be fine if it wasn't discovered, but it would be wrong if it was discovered.

Tanjiro, who put himself in the position of the head of the family, looked at Nezuko who had just entered the room and said, "Nezuko, remember, I will not agree to let you marry him. I will help you find a better husband in the future."

After Tanjiro finished speaking to Nezuko, he said to Hanako and Komo who came in later: "Hanako, Komo, I will help you two with your schooling issues. Don't go to the school that person arranges for you in the future. Our family is not allowed to have anything to do with him."

"Tanjiro..."

Kuizhi came to the door, held onto the door frame, not knowing how to face the children.

Tanjiro walked up to Aoi and whispered, "Mom, I understand what you did, but I hope this will remain a secret from now on."

"Tanjiro..."

After meeting her eldest son's gaze, Kuizhi could only turn all her thoughts into one simple "Okay."
