Chapter 83 New Year's Holiday
In the early morning of January [-]st, Kazuki Akiyama packed up and drove to his hometown in Tochigi, which was less than a hundred kilometers away and took about an hour.

Kazuki Akiyama’s house is a two-story one-family building along the street. The room on the left side of the first floor has been converted into a small grocery store, and there is a staircase on the right side that leads directly to the second floor.

Today is the first day of the new year, and the grocery store is not open, but Kadomatsu has been placed on both sides of the door.

There are a lot of potted flowers placed under the blue and white awning, which is well organized, and the whole grocery store looks exquisite and warm.

Seeing the grocery store in memory for the first time, Kazuki Akiyama felt exactly the same as the image of the grocery store that often appeared in anime.

Parked the car in the garage behind the house, opened the trunk, two suitcases and a few small bags were purchased by Kazuki Akiyama for the New Year.

Came to the door and knocked, and waited for a while before a slightly lazy voice came, "Hay~"

The one who opened the door was the sleepy Akiyama Manto, with disheveled hair that looked like a chicken coop.

"What time is it, you're still sleeping." Kazuki Akiyama complained.

"Brother, you're back." Akiyama Shinto cheered up a little after seeing that it was his brother, "I went to bed very late yesterday, and accompanied my parents to wait for the New Year's bell at the shrine, and came back in the middle of the night."

Kazuki Akiyama looked in from the door, "Where are Mom and Dad?"

"Maybe I went out to visit my friends." Akiyama Shinbi said, but his eyes were fixed on the big and small bags in Akiyama Kazuki's hand.

Naturally, he couldn't hide his little thoughts from Kazuki Akiyama, and handed him one of the suitcases, "Your game console is inside, and there are other things, let's see if you like it."

"Si Guoyi!" Akiyama Manto cheered, dragging the suitcase and ran to the room, no longer the bleary-eyed look just now.

Kazuki Akiyama put his luggage away, followed the pattern in his memory, and quietly came to the room he used to live in.

Pushing open the door, there is a single bed in a small room with a desk next to the bed, and there are mostly posters of 80s singers and idols on the wall.

Chang Zegang, Yasuko Sawaguchi, and even a poster of Chisato Moritaka when he debuted. Thinking about performing with her on the same stage not long ago, Kazuki Akiyama is really dumbfounded at the moment.

Unexpectedly, the original body is still a fan of Moritaka Chisato. It would be too embarrassing if she knew about it, no, no, no, I have to tell my mother quickly, it would be better to put it away as soon as possible.

But does this count as a fan counterattack and performing on the same stage as an idol?Shaking his head, he cleared the mess of thoughts.

It can be seen that the room has just been cleaned, probably because his mother knew that he was coming back, so she cleaned it specially.

At this moment, there was a faint conversation at the door. It should be that the parents came back and came to the living room.I saw a middle-aged couple in their forties standing at the entrance of the door.

Originally, Kazuki Akiyama thought that seeing his parents in this life for the first time might feel a little awkward or uncomfortable.

But the moment I saw them, the phrase "Mom and Dad" came out naturally.

Mother Qianxia came over and grabbed his arm, stared at him carefully, her eyes were slightly red, she couldn't bear it any longer, she hugged him into her arms, and patted his back lightly.

Akiyama Kazuki bowed, feeling a little agitated, and gently hugged his mother.

Mother Qianxia wiped her eyes, looked at his arm with both hands, "Thinner, but also stronger."

"I've been exercising recently." Kazuki Akiyama explained.

Speaking of which, Akiyama Kazuki looks more like his mother Qianxia, ​​with a softer face.Especially a pair of eyebrows and eyes, outsiders can tell at a glance that they are mother and child.

"Persistence in exercising is a good thing." Masaki Akiyama, who had been silent all this time, said something.

"Hey" Akiyama Kazuki froze for a moment, then nodded again.

Mother Qianxia glared at Masaki Akiyama, then turned her head to Kazuki Akiyama and said, "Make your favorite shrimp ball tempura at noon."

"That's really good. I haven't eaten tempura made by my mother for a long time." Akiyama Kazuki happily agreed.

"You wait, I'll prepare now." As she said that, her mother, Qian Xia, rolled up her sleeves anxiously and walked towards the kitchen.

For a while, only Akiyama Kazuki and Akiyama Masaki were left in the living room. Akiyama Masaki was a typical RB middle-aged father image, with the corners of his mouth curled slightly, looking a little serious.

"It's busy during the New Year. I can stay at home for a few days." Just when the atmosphere was a bit dull, Masaki Akiyama held a newspaper in one hand while opening his mouth without warning.

"Hay, I'm going back to Tokyo on the [-]th." Kazuki Akiyama replied in a regular manner.

"Your mother and I both listened to the CD you sent back last time, and it was well written." Akiyama Masaki flipped through the newspaper and paused, "Especially your mother, she likes it very much."

Hearing his mention of his first single, Kazuki Akiyama straightened his body, "As long as mom likes it, this is the song I wrote for her. And..."

Kazuki Akiyama looked up at his father, "For so many years, I really thank my father and mother for supporting me, even though sometimes I didn't do well enough."

After saying these words, Kazuki Akiyama seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

Akiyama Masaki paused when he flipped through the newspaper, "It's good that you can remember your mother's support for you, and now that you are an adult, you need to decide many things by yourself.

I have also heard rumors about many stars in the entertainment industry, I just hope you don't go astray and do things that you regret. "

"Hay, I understand."

...

In the next few days, Kazuki Akiyama followed his parents to visit relatives and friends, and went to a nearby shrine to pray for blessings, hoping that everything goes well in the new year.

It is rare to find a well-known entertainer in Tochigi City, which naturally arouses people's curiosity, not to mention that just in the town where Akiyama's family is located, people come to his grocery store every day.

They said they were shopping at a grocery store, but most of them wanted to see the mysterious image of Kazuki Akiyama. After all, for ordinary people, what they saw on TV was not enough to attract the private image of a celebrity.

And Kazuki Akiyama also kindly signed autographs and took photos for the people who came here admiringly, which satisfied people's curiosity.

In addition to autographs and group photos, most of the New Year's postcards at home this year were written by him. In the words of his mother, "This is the only way to show sincerity."

Not to mention relatives and friends, each of them sent a signed photo at their request.

Kazuki Akiyama has been an artist for such a long time, and he has signed as many autographs as he did at home during the Chinese New Year.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the afternoon of January [-]th, and his mother, Qianxia, ​​organized the souvenirs for Kazuki Akiyama, while telling him to take good care of himself.

Father Akiyama Masaki only said, "You are already an adult, it's time to learn to live your own life." He stopped talking.

On the contrary, Akiyama Manto kept muttering about "386 computer" in front of Akiyama Kazuki, and Akiyama Kazuki didn't know what he was thinking.

Knocked on his head, "You are only in high school now, let's talk about it when you are admitted to university next year."

Saying goodbye to his family, Kazuki Akiyama drove back to Tokyo alone again, with the same full luggage as when he came, the difference is that this time he brought local specialties from his hometown.
