"One Year Before"
Your father has something to talk to you about.
Yes.
Yeah. Eh...
At last we're able to get ahold of the soba we need...
...and are a soba restaurant again.
Yeah.
Thanks to you two who are working elsewhere.
If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't be able to get our stock.
Well, we're truly grateful to you. Right!
Yeah.
What is this out of the blue about?
That's true. What is this about?
Yeah, yeah... Ah.
Well, it might be a bit earlier for this, but...
What is it?
Yeah.
Couldn't we all work at the store?
The four of us as family.
Eh...
Has it been that difficult for you during the day?
Has it been that busy?
No, no, no... That's been okay. Right!
Yeah, yeah.
Dad. What's this about?
We're lonely.
Eh?
We want to be with you guys.
We were talking about how lonely it's been for us every day, right?
We've only been doing this because we've been so poor.
So we want the four of us to work as a family.
Working from their home and always being together...
...makes for the happiest of people, doesn't it?
So that's why we want to be together.
That's how it is.
I see.
How about it?
This could be a bit of a snap decision, but...
Yeah. Why don't we?
Right, Yoko?
Yes. Let's do that.
Ah, really?! Huh?
- Thank you! - Thank you!
What are you saying?
Thank you and please work with us.
Please work with us.
- Please work with us. - Please work with us.
The four of us'll do our best!
Right!
Yeah!
There!
Where's Mom?
Ah!
Kazu-san, you upset Hinako with your "Four of us."
Eh? I did?
Hey you!
Mom...
Yes, yes, I'm sorry! Your father's the bad one, after all.
"Showa 25 Spring (1950)"
1 serving of Sansai, ready to go. (wild greens)
Yes!
"This is how the 4 people of Maruyama's, no, 5 people did their best."
Sorry to have kept you waiting. Your serving of Sansai.
Welcome!
- Good afternoon. - Please come this way!
Ah, so cute!
Thank you!
Hinako, you're great.
"Yes, yes, about my job at the food company."
I'm truly sorry for all the inconvenience this will cause you.
Please, work with her.
I'm Ishii Keiko.
Very nice to meet you!
Well, you said you had someone to replace you, but she's still only 16, isn't she?
She's studied both arithmetic and the abacus.
Even if you say that...
As long as she can do the work, I don't think it matters what her age is.
No, no, no. Even so, this isn't easy work.
Sit there.
Ah... yes.
Then, can you run up a total of these?
Yes.
- Be calm. - Yes.
I'm done.
Switch with me.
It matches.
Would you like to verify it?
No, no, no...
I think the entire question is whether you can work here.
The Manager said he was leaving that to me.
I...
It's okay for me to work here?
Welcome.
Please work with me.
Let's work together!
Yoko-sensei!
That's great!
That's great, Keiko-chan.
Ah...
Thank you very much.
You might be able to get more work done than Yoko-san.
- Eh? - Eh?!
With my training, you can become a full-fledged accountant.
When you have, your salary will go up and you'll be able to work anywhere.
Understand?
Yes.
I'll be strict.
Yes. I'll do my best.
Please take care of me!
"Keiko-chan really did her best after that."
I've finished totaling the miso tickets.
Oh, fast, aren't you?
No.
What should I do next?
Would you like to try the cash books?
Please.
"Ah, yes, yes, I don't want to forget."
"Shige-niichan failed in taking the exam to become a medical student..."
"...three times in succession."
"The exams became a subject no one touched upon anymore from there on."
"Still, Shige-niichan wasn't the least discouraged..."
"...and worked at shipping company in Azumino during the day while continuing to study."
"He was a strong-willed person, wasn't he?"
Shigeki.
- Yes? - Want to take a tea break?
Yes.
- Come get the tea! - Yes!
Ah... Thank you for another day of hard work!
- Thank you for your hard work. - Ah... Thanks for the hard work.
Yes, thank you for working hard.
Thanks for your hard work!
When Hinako says it, it just blow all the fatigue right away!
Doesn't it?
Yes, order 1.
1 Kage and 2 Sansai.
Order 3.
Last order is for 1 serving of turtle.
Yes!
How is it?
Today's total is 812 yen.
- Oh! That's more than yesterday's, isn't it? - Yes!
We had our best run so far today with 15 orders of soba.
"I wasn't used to this at first."
"In the Sudo family where I grew up, there was never any talk about money in the family."
How is it, Yoko? Our monthly total.
Let's see...
The total is... We're still a bit in the red.
Ah... I see.
By how much?
Umm... At this rate, we'll have a monthly total of 20,000 yen.
"Still, it was enjoyable having such talks with family at that time, wasn't it?"
That puts us in the red by 2,000 yen, doesn't it.
Ah...
But all the stocking is dealt with, right Dad?
Well, that's true.
This is where we have to be patient.
Yeah, patience again.
Patience.
Patience, patience!
Ah!
Tomorrow there's that!
Yeah, that's tomorrow.
Ah, that's true.
I'm happy about that.
- I'm really excited somehow. - Yeah, excited!
What's that?
Huh? That's a telephone.
We can talk to people who are far away with it.
To my Azumino Grandpa and Shige-niichan?
Huh? Well...
They don't have one there yet.
Hello? Yes.
Picking up any noise?
Yes.
The tests are finished. You can use it now.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.
- Ah, have some tea! - Ah, thanks!
Say Yoko, have you let all the other places know about this?
Yes. I did that already.
The delivery orders should start steadily pouring in now.
I hope we get busier with this, right Hinako?
Right!
Oi, oi!
It isn't ringing, is it?
It's not ringing, is it?
Ah...
Then, shall we get to work?
We should.
Get it, get it! Hurry and get it!
Yoko, Yoko! You get it, please. Go on!
- Me? - Yeah.
Look, you're the Kanbanmusume. (the pretty daughter who attracts customers)
Go on and get it.
Hurry, hurry!
Hello?
