Episode 196
Mother!
Do you know why I hit you?!
It's because you're a coward.
You refused to go to school because some kids called you an orphan.
And that's why you ran away from home, too!
If you can't handle that, what about the future?!
There are bound to be even worse times.
You wouldn't be able to go on living!
If I wasn't able to find you,
I was going to kill myself in apology to your dead mother.
I'm sure it was your mother who brought you here to me now.
Your mother thinks you can't go on living either!
Nozomi...
Nozomi.
Come on, we'll die together!
No! I don't want you to die! I'll go to school!
I don't care what the other kids call me!
I'll study hard, too!
I'll never refuse to go to school again!
So please don't die!
Nozomi!
Mother!
Nozomi...
What were you doing here anyway?!
I had nowhere else to go...
Where were you until now?
I was in the storage shed at school...
Why didn't you just come home?
I'm not your real son, and you would've made me
go to school again if I came home.
We worried about you so much!
Your older brother went to all your friends' homes asking for you.
Hitoshi hurt himself fighting with the kids who teased you.
We all did what we did because you're one of the family.
I had a feeling you'd be here...
I'm sorry...
Can you persevere at school, No matter what the other kids say?
Let's go home.
Father will scold me.
We only scold you because we love you.
He used to always carry you on his back when you were little.
Your real father is dead,
but you were able to grow up like this because of the father you have!
He's waiting for you now. Yuu, Hitoshi and Hatsuko, too.
We're home.
Where were you?
Never mind. He's home now.
You must be hungry!
I'll get him dinner!
We had hanpen last night, your favorite!
We saved your portion for you.
What is it?
All my friends have it, and I need it, too!
- You don't need a toy gun! - When we play war,
the kids without guns have to be prisoners.
No guns!
Father, get me one!
Well...
- Why aren't you helping me? - I don't want one.
- You said you did! - I don't want to play war.
See! Learn from Nozomi.
You're always trying to be good!
Hitoshi. Stop it!
That's enough. Apologize to Nozomi!
You are always taking Nozomi's side!
- Never mind! - Hitoshi.
Hitoshi!
Hitoshi picked on you again?
If he pushes you, push him back. That's fighting!
But it's good that you can hold back.
Help me shell some beans for dinner.
We'll have bean rice tonight.
I try to be fair to the both of them but it's not easy...
I always end up scolding Hitoshi.
It can't be helped... Hitoshi is more forceful.
But Nozomi can't seem to be...
Their personalities begin to show as they get older.
One can't raise another's child like one's own.
It sure is difficult!
Sesame sure smells good...
I'm so glad you're helping me.
Are you at it again?
You and Hatsuko get along so well together.
Are you done with your homework?
I'll get to it after dinner.
If you need help, ask me. I'm done with mine.
- I can do it myself. - What about math?
You have to keep up each day, or you'll fall behind.
Yes, but...
Don't hold back. You're my little sister.
I still remember that you did cold-water prayers for me,
so that I'd pass my entrance exams.
I've thought of you as my real sister ever since.
You've been given the chance to go to school.
So don't neglect your studies.
Come on, I'll help you.
Nozomi, why aren't you playing with Hitoshi?
They had a fight.
You're too gentle. You could beat him before.
Shape up!
Let's study together.
Yuu, Hatsuko, Hitoshi and Nozomi. All four children were showing
their differences in nature as they grew up.
Oshin was aware of it,
but she was too busy with work to take much notice.
Besides, she realized she was pregnant again.
Really?
Another baby?
We already have four, and that's already a handful.
Don't talk like that!
I'd almost given up on having another one.
The more children the better! We'll just work harder, that's all.
The economy doesn't seem to be getting much better...
And the more children we have,
the harder it becomes for us to give them all a good education.
Don't worry about the future!
Children are treasures. Just have a healthy baby.
I'm already in my fourth month.
I know you want to keep Hatsuko until she's grown,
but we agreed to take her in for only three years.
Maybe we can send her back to her home when her term is up.
Let Hatsuko go?
She will have graduated from grade school by then.
We would've performed our responsibilities to her.
She may want to go home, and her parents may want her home.
Hatsuko is Hatsuko...
She has nothing to do with this new baby.
She can decide for herself when the time comes.
I don't want to send her away just because I'm having another baby.
Don't worry.
I can cut back on my food.
And I'll put all my boys through college!
I've been busy all my life,
but I haven't really accomplished much...
I want my kids to all grow up to be great people.
Then I'll be able to say that I accomplished something.
I'm going to get big again...
