The train traveled between the mountains and the fields, and the memories of fifth grade were repeated in the night before Taeko left.
"Hirota-san, come on, Taeko-san is watching you." At the baseball game where the two classes faced off, the girls in the opposing class cheered on Hirota, a baseball player in the class.
Taeko left in embarrassment. When he was about to reach the door of the house, the setting sun dyed the western sky red, and in the distance, he saw Hirota standing with the sunset on his back and his hands folded.
"That...like..." Hirota stammered.
Taeko didn't dare to look up, his face flushed.
"That...I mean...sunny day, cloudy day, rainy day, would you prefer that one?" Hirota smiled.
Taeko quickly looked up at the smiling Hirota, "It should be... it should be cloudy."
"Me too." Hirota patted his head, like all the elated little boys, smiled sweetly, turned and ran away.
Taeko looked at Hirota, who was running away, throwing the baseball high and high, and couldn't help smiling. She imagined that she was flying in the sky like a baseball, and Baiyun roamed the sky with her. This magic is so cute.
What made Taeko, who grew up in Tokyo, yearn for life in the fields so much? It was the summer of the fifth grade of elementary school. The classmates were chatting about where to spend the summer. Taeko also begged her mother to take them out to play. The mother said that her father was very busy with work. If possible, they would consider going to Rehe. Tiaozi was very disappointed, and her sister said, "Rehe, there is a three-color soup bath there. Three-color soup bath? Sounds so pretty. As a result, Taeko was busy rushing from one bath to another, and finally fainted in the hot spring, and the vacation that Taeko had sketched for a long time was over.
It was brother-in-law's cousin A De who came to pick up Taeko at the station. Ader quit his job and started a farm at home. He was very cheerful and often smiled happily. As for Taeko, he answered any questions and was a very lovely young man. Under the guidance of Ade's family, Taeko learned the whole process of picking safflower to make flower cakes. Ade took her to see the nearby temples, empty mountains, rice fields, irrigation methods, organic agriculture, and the picture was fresh and clear. , Every scene is fascinated by the unique fragrance of the countryside and the cool texture of the mountains.
"Did you do division problems when you were young?" Taeko asked. Ed said it was okay. When she was in fifth grade, Taeko got only 29 points on the division problem. Her mother asked her what was going on. Dizzy, so uncomfortable during the test. Mom asked, then you will do it now. Taeko bowed his head, not daring to speak. In the evening, she heard her sister and mother say, is there something wrong with Taeko's brain? Mom said, that's why she asked you to teach her. My sister said that she broke her brain when she was a child? Mom said angrily, do you have to tell me that she has a problem with her brain? ! Taeko heard the conversation between her sister and her mother, and walked down the stairs, shrugging her shoulders and bowing her head sadly.
When Taeko was leaving, Ade's mother asked her, do you want to stay? For Ad. Taeko ran out in embarrassment. The spring air was filled with the scent of flowers and plants, Taeko strolled through the empty valley, and the memories of fifth grade struck her again.
"I won't shake hands with you." In a trance, Taeko saw Abe, who was at the same table in the fifth grade, walking towards her.
This transfer student from the countryside always pretended to be disdainful of everything. The female classmates in the class didn't like her and thought he was dirty. When the teacher arranged for him to share the table with Taeko, Taeko also showed some panic. Soon, Abe changed schools again. Before leaving, the teacher asked every student in the class to shake hands with him to say goodbye. Finally, when Taeko extended his hand, Abe said, I will not shake hands with you. Taeko thought, Abe must hate her.
"I think Abe likes you Taeko very much." Ade said.
Taeko said it was impossible, Abe's favorite deputy monitor. Ade said with a smile that Taeko doesn't understand boys, and the more girls he cares about, the more boys like to show disapproval. Why doesn't he just want to shake hands with you? Maybe he didn't want to shake hands with anyone, but he told you the truth. Later, on the street, Taeko met Abe who was walking by his father holding hands. When Abe saw Taeko, he broke away from his father's hand, and pretended to be indifferent, spitting on the ground, and his father smashed his head. , and then passed by Taeko.
These childhood memories give off a faint fragrance. I love that there are a few scenes where Taeko in fifth grade and Taeko in twenty-seven appear together, staggered and overlapping, and the ending song is really nice.
