Episode 263
Hitoshi's plan to have his sister Tei marry Tatsunori
fell through after Tei returned to college in Nagoya,
and Oshin was relieved.
She was still barely making enough money
with her new store to pay her monthly loans.
We're closed.
We want to talk to the person in charge!
Where is he?
I'm in charge.
You turned in two kids the other day for shoplifting?!
Yes...
How could you!
Now our kids can't even go back to school.
People are calling them thieves!
Why did you call their school when all they took
were a few caramels and chocolates?
You could've called us. We would've paid!
Shoplifting is stealing.
It's not the money that matters, is it?
A self-service store is an invitation to steal!
It's too much of a temptation.
It's your fault!
Now my boy's future has been ruined!
Can't you understand how we feel?
I'd like to set fire to this store!
We will petition the people not to buy from you.
Do as you please.
We called the school because we consider stealing
to be contrary to acceptable behavior!
Stop it!
I'm sorry. We'll be more careful.
There's no need for us to apologize.
It's their fault for raising shoplifters!
They wouldn't understand that. It's best to just apologize.
Besides, it's our fault for not watching more carefully.
We're short-handed.
I'm too busy ringing up the register.
I just wish Tei were here to help us.
You're too easy on Tei! It's too ridiculous!
Maybe we never should've opened this new store...
Is it worth all the loans we took out?
It's keeping us busy, but there's little profit.
We would've been better off just selling fish and produce.
No.
We'll be getting more customers soon.
Soon we'll be finished paying off the loans.
Then it'll all be profit for us.
I wonder if we will last that long...
Don't talk like that. It's not like you.
I hate incidents like what we just had.
We were just talking
about expanding our line of cooked foods!
That's true. To help pay for Tei's tuition.
We can't turn back now. We'll sell anything we can.
Hijiki unohana are selling well.
They sell out by evening, and people always ask for more.
Cooking takes up too much time.
And we'll be reducing the amount of fish and vegetables we sell, too.
Not that again!
All these bring people in here. Cooked foods, too!
But...
We could use a larger kitchen.
I agree.
We stay open later for working people anyway.
It'll be a big hit.
We'll lose money if we have to hire people.
A kitchen will cost money!
All I need is a sink and a stove.
Let's do it! I will help.
I'll start making plans.
"How are you? Did you get the money I sent?"
"I didn't hear from you, so I was worried."
"We'll be building a small kitchen here."
"Then we'll start selling cooked bean and tofu products."
"I'll have people enjoy the taste of my cooking."
"Hitoshi hasn't mentioned those plans for your marriage again,"
"so don't worry, an come home to see us once in a while."
"I sent you some dried squid."
"Don't forget to give some to your landlady."
"Take good care of yourself." - Mother
Tei, there's a call for you!
I'll be right there.
Thank you.
Hello.
I just got home.
Yeah. I'll be right there.
The usual place?
All right.
- Thank you! - Tei...
Don't be staying out too late.
I won't.
Your mother has asked me to look out for you.
You're here to study,
and that's why your mother sends you money.
Don't forget that.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I ran out of money.
- What can I get you? - I'm fine.
I'm sure my mother will send me some soon.
But I need some money now.
I have a little money.
Good!
My friends are waiting at the dance hall.
I think I have enough.
Have you eaten? I'm starving.
I could buy you ramen noodles.
Good!
Let's eat first.
You're so pretty.
Stop it! Not here.
I love you.
Stop it, Toru!
Why did you stop dancing? You're only young once!
Enjoy it!
All my parents ever told me to do was study.
Once we get out of college,
we'll have to work like horses for the rest of our lives.
Once we graduate, it's all over.
So you'd better do all you can now.
I won't let you go home tonight.
We've graduated from having coffee and taking walks.
We love each other,
so let's let nature take its course.
I'm even willing to live with you.
Let's do it, or you'll regret it later.
Let go of me!
What about paying the tab here?
This is all I have!
Mother...
I never dreamed that those cooked vegetables
would draw so many customers.
It's called chikuzen-daki.
Soon we'll be making more than enough to pay for Tei's college,
and this line of cooked foods could make a reputation for us.
We don't want to become just a place for meals.
You're saving housewives the trouble of cooking.
Maybe we are making them all lazy.
Housewives today go out a lot.
We're just helping such families out.
Michiko and Tei can't even cook. Tei could never get married!
Cooking isn't everything.
Tei will be contributing to society as soon as she graduates.
Cooking is secondary.
Even if one has a career, one still has to get married.
Yes, but...
Tei!
- Welcome home. - What are you doing home?
This is nice. A brand new kitchen.
Are you on vacation?
I quit school.
- Let's go, Tatsunori. - Okay.
Tei...
