It's about Mineko, but...
I don't think we should let things go on like this.
That girl, because of me...
Because I went missing, her life was changed.
Dat's true, huh.
Dat's right... Yeah.
And so...
...I want her to go back to how she was before.
Somehow or other.
True, huh.
Mineko should be liberated.
Well, at least...
...I want to free her from having to send us a portion of her work wages as a remittance.
Otherwise...
Yeah.
...it won't end, will it? Da sad event dat happened ta da Yatabe family.
That's true.
We want her to live as she likes, don't we?
It's just that, well... When thinking realistically...
It's that even though I've come back...
...nothing has changed for us economically.
You could say I'm just one more worker out in the fields.
If you thought about it normally, the best thing to do...
...for us to make money would be if I went somewhere...
...like Tokyo or Mito and found work again...
But I can't go making Miyoko worried again...
So I was thinking we need to consider measures that will increase our income here.
Otherwise we'll be relying on Mineko her entire life.
I was wondering if there wasn't something that we could do.
If we go with rice alone, we'll be in a tough situation from here on.
We can't rely on only rice.
Don't tell me that you...
Ah... Well, um...
I'm not thinking about giving up on rice, Dad.
Rice is your life, Dad.
And not only just Dad's.
Rice has been a pillar of this family since forever.
Right?
Yeah.
But... there are people who are making a success at crops other than rice.
Isn't that right, Muneo?
Yeah, it is.
Well, with things like melons or strawberries.
Yeah... but those are iffy.
And if that didn't work out, we'd think about going back to rice...
...but it wouldn't be easy to return the fields to rice. Isn't that right, Dad?
That's right.
Yeah.
But I wondered if there isn't something we could do.
I'm wondering if there isn't something else we could do...
...while still working hard at the rice.
And then... Muneo...
Shigeko.
I wonder if I could bring you two in on that discussion?
Sure!
Sorry for speaking selfishly.
What are you saying?
Okay! I'll check inta dat along with yas! Right!
Thank you.
Thanks.
Der's dat, ain't der?
Huh?
By talkin' in dis way, Minoru-san ain't changed a bit from before.
Really?
Ya ain't changed.
Da way ya'd talk about things was always cool somehow.
Totally different from yer kid brother.
Right?
Ah? What's da meanin' of dat?!
Mineko, wash this please.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
I've done had a thought.
Just when sad things...
...seem ta be goin' away, dey'll suddenly pop up again.
No matter how properly or honestly ya live...
...sad things and painful things will happen again.
No matter what ya do, dey'll come again.
But... what kin saves ya from dem sad things...
...is people. Human beings.
People'll help you get through 'em.
Dat's why...
...when someone needs helpin', it's best if someone helps 'em.
Dat's da best way.
When people... help save people.
If everyone did dat, dis world it'd be beautiful.
Right?
Yeah.
Don't knows da reason why ya gots ta telling dat so quickly...
...but ya are different from Minoru-san in dat.
Really?
'Cause da first son is da steady one while da second son is da dreamer.
Mineko, Hide, sorry for asking this of you. Be careful, okay?
Yes.
Then get going.
Well then, we'll make the delivery!
We're off!
Yes, get going.
Don't goof off along the way, Hide.
I'm not like you Senpai, so don't worry.
Right?
It's not "right," now is it Genji?
Sorry!
Then get going.
We're off!
With the fashion in miniskirts, a new breeze was blowing in all sorts of places.
And here at Suzufuritei, too.
Shogo's Daughter Yuka
She's expecting her parents to do something about it somehow.
That's proof that she's a child.
She should think of her parents and act on that. They'll forgive her.
I think that's being an adult.
I just can't do it yet...
I can't do this so suddenly.
Thanks for the sweets.
Thank you very much.
Good afternoon...
Oh... Yuka-chan!
Hello.
Yuka! What's going on?
I have a favor to ask...
Ah, what is it? Ask me anything.
I'm happy that Yuka-chan is asking a favor of me.
Yeah, just leave it to me.
No, no, hear what she's asking for, first.
Really? Thank you!
Then have a seat, have a seat.
I wonder what it is Yuka-chan could be asking for?
A new breeze is blowing, isn't it?
Ah, hold on a minute. I'll go get the money.
Yes.
Are you remembering Kawamoto Setsuko-san?
Then just say it as though you were saying it to your beloved Father.
Yes...
But... it's kinda strange.
Back then if I hadn't hurried over here all of a sudden for that commercial...
...then it might be that I still wouldn't...
...have met my Dad yet, even now.
I see... That's true, isn't it?
Yes.
Thank you... for earlier.
That made me happy...
I've been thinking this recently.
"It's fine if I don't remember."
Because I love... living here.
And I love... you too, Miyoko.
Um...
You looked good in that earlier.
In that miniskirt.
Will you wear it again?
No way! It's too embarrassing!
No... way...
Starting here.
I will get them back... absolutely.
Yes.
Kawamoto-san, excuse me!
Yes!
I'm sorry. Please wait another 20 minutes.
Very well.
Excuse me.
