Mom! Grandpa!
Oh...
I want to get those memories back here.
I want to start over here once more and try it again.
I came back here thinking that.
Please... allow me to do this.

Sorry for doing this out of the blue. It was a last minute decision.
No.
Dad was the one who said it. "I want to go back."
I see...
Mineko.
Huh?
Sorry about this.
I forced you into taking care of your Father...
Not at all. I enjoyed it.
Well, it did feel kinda strange...
...saying that I'm living with my Dad in Tokyo.
But I enjoyed it.
Mom.
Huh?
Like I thought, Dad is still the Dad we knew.
He hasn't become a different person.
Yeah.
You've gotten good at that, haven't you?
I guess.
Because she helps me out every day, right?
Really?
Yeah.
Must be nice. Grade school students are so innocent.
Daddy, let's play some menko!
(game of slapping cards down to overturn opponent's)
Yeah.
Um...
This fits perfectly... thank you.
Of course it would. It's one of yours, Dad.
Ah, that's right... Ah, I see...
Would be, right?
Daddy, hurry up!
Yeah, all right, all right.
Hurry up!
I'll be right there!
Hurry up!
Yeah.
Aw... that's too bad.
Hey, Susumu!
C'mon, sit down!
It's time for dinner?
Thanks. Dad, sit there.
Ah...
Well then... Itadakimasu!
Itadakimasu!
Itadakimasu.
Hmm... That's good!
Ah! Thank goodness.
Since kinpiragobo is your favorite, Dad.
(kinpira-style sauteed burdock)
Is it?
Yeah.
This is so good, too!
But, Daddy.
Huh?
You really don't remember anything?
Yeah. I'm sorry...
Then you don't remember my bed-wetting, either?
Eh?
All right!
You shouldn't say such things, you fool.
Ah...
It's rice-planting time, isn't it?
Yeah... It's an important day for us farmers.
You've come back at a good time.
Tomorrow is the start of our new year.
It's said all around that Grandpa's a master rice-planter.
A master at it?
Who's a master at that?!
Yeah...
I think I am, too.
Grandpa!
I'm really good at tossing the seedlings. I can make them fly really far.
That's true, right?
We've got some good seedlings this year. Make sure to make them fly far off.
It's fun planting rice.
Everyone comes for it. Muneo-san, too.
Yeah.
Ah, yeah... Muneo.
As long as someone comes over, everything's fun to you, isn't it?
I guess.
"I guess," he says.
Daddy, I'm a pretty fast runner.
I'm the fastest in my grade, too.
At the Fall athletic meet...
...since I'm sure to be on the relay team, come and watch me.
I will! That's awesome! I'm looking forward to it.
Chiyoko.
You've been studying really hard? I heard from your Onee-chan.
Eh?
Please tell me all about school.
Are you sure? Are you sure you want to hear about that?
I do! Sorry about this, so please tell me everyting about yourself, Chiyoko.
Yeah.
Sorry about this.
No.
Of course I study to prepare for the lessons...
...but I guess the important part is reviewing. The review.
The review part, huh? I see!
You can say some good things, can't you?
I guess.
No fair! I've got lots to tell you, too!
Ah, of course, you too, Susumu.
Yeah!
Then let's hurry and finish dinner.
Yeah!
My, my, my...
You guys take your time and eat more slowly.
Right!
To put it briefly.
They're asleep?
Yeah.
Dad's fast asleep, too.
I see...
Mineko.
For all your hard work in this...
...thank you.
Yeah.
Mineko, will you be okay about your job?
Yeah.
Suzuko-san told me to take time off.
She told me to see how it went for myself.
I see...
And in this way...
...I recalled the day before reaping the rice with Dad.
What are you talking about? You're enjoying high school, right?
Yeah...
Still, Dad.
Yeah.
Wouldn't it be better if I went out to work?
If I did that... I don't know how much I could earn...
...but wouldn't that reduce the time you have to go out as a migrant worker, Dad?
Mineko, you love housework, right?
You love working here in our fields, don't you?
Yeah. I love it.
I feel I want to be just like Mom and I love working the farm.
I feel I want to work even harder at it and make all sorts of crops.
But...
You...
...are helping the family by going to high school.
It's my job to leave here and earn money.
Yours is to help out your Mom and Grandpa.
Since your Grandpa and Mom have got it tough here.
Yeah...
Yeah.
I'll do my best! I'll do my very best!
Okay! That's being reliable!
You can be reliable, can't you?
Now, we have to be up early tomorrow.
That's true. Shall we sleep?
Yeah.
Yes.
Everyone! Let's work hard tomorrow!
What is this?! Even though I said that seriously!
Let's work hard.
Is this okay?
Ah... that's fine.
Um, Fath... Dad.
Huh? What is it?
"Minoru"... is a good name, isn't it?
I like it.
Let's go.
Yes.
Dad, this way. You doing okay?
I'm fine.
It's okay to take your time.
Don't fall, okay?
The rain's really coming down, isn't it?
It is, isn't it?
Let's do our best!
Let's do our best.
Got it?
Thank you.
