Chapters 1526 and 1535: I will give them a price they can't refuse!
Hua Jiang was very happy this afternoon!
Because her elderly father, who was resting at home, suddenly had a brilliant idea, he put a collar on Eitaro and then tied the collar to her tricycle.
And so, a fully automatic tricycle that only cost one dog biscuit was successfully made. Then, the old father took his invention and said he was going out for a stroll.
"It's so cold, is it really okay to go out?"
Akina, somewhat worried, wrapped a small scarf around Hana-chan's neck and put on her hat as well, making sure she was completely covered up.
"Can't it be done at home?"
Naoki Nagayama was wearing a high-necked trench coat and a low-brimmed hat, which slightly obscured his appearance.
"The car at home can't run, no, for Eitaro it's a walk!"
Located in the city center, Yama-oka-in is not a huge estate; the lawn in the yard is slightly undulating, and there is no indoor running track.
"And look, isn't Hana-chan very happy!"
Akina lowered her head and watched as Natsuka excitedly buttoned her clothes herself, her eyes sparkling, so she didn't say anything more.
The little one is at an age where he's naturally very active, and wearing him at home every day can get a bit boring, even though Yamazaki-in is quite large.
"We can't let Hua Jiang sweat too much, and she shouldn't take off her clothes too easily after sweating, otherwise she'll catch a cold!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, today it's mostly Eitaro doing the hard labor!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and gestured to the dog that was already waiting. Eitaro, with a leash around his neck and a tricycle, was wagging his thick tail and didn't seem to think he was a laborer at all.
"All right!"
After Xiaoxia finished buttoning her clothes, she excitedly exclaimed.
"Dad, let's go!"
Okay~~
Just as I was about to take my dog and daughter out, Akina came over again with a small backpack.
"This contains a thermos of flower jam, some snacks, and some emergency tissues, please take along as well!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama, with a pained expression, carried his pink backpack, feeling like he had suddenly transformed from a trendy hunk into a stay-at-home dad.
However, seeing how insistent his wife was, he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to head out the door.
In mid-November, the temperature was already only around 10 degrees Celsius. When the cold wind blew, people had to hunch their shoulders. However, the afternoon sun was still nice, and you would warm up after going out for a short walk.
At this moment, Naoki Nagayama was holding the dog leash in one hand to prevent Eitaro from going too fast, while carrying a small schoolbag in the other hand, and keeping an eye on Hana-chan next to him.
Xiaoxiahua sat on the tricycle pulled by Yingtaro, her hands gripping the handlebars, her short legs effortlessly resting on the front pedals. She even swayed her head and sang a nursery rhyme.
".
The big family (だいかぞく)
Dumplings Dumplings Dumplings Dumplings Dumplings Dumplings Family
やんちゃな焼（や）きだんごやさしいあんだんご
Playful barbecue dumplings and tender red bean paste dumplings
すこし梦见（ゆめみ）がちな月见（つきみ）だんご
Dumpling who often dreams sweet dreams while admiring the moon
"
If you listen carefully, it turns out to be "Dango Daikazoku"!
One day, when Naoki Nagayama saw Hana-chan enjoying dango, he remembered this catchy song and wrote it down, much to Akina's surprise and even a touch of jealousy.
Although the little one can only sing the first few lines now, she doesn't get tired of humming them over and over. When she grows up, she will definitely be able to sing a whole song!
At this moment, Hana-chan was singing as she walked, her head swaying from side to side as she looked at the shops and pedestrians on the street, occasionally glancing up at Nagayama Naoki with a bright smile.
About half an hour later, Hua Jiang asked:
"Dad, where are we going?"
"No, let's not go to the dog park."
Naoki Nagayama said,
"It will probably take about five more minutes."
Normally, it would only take ten minutes or so to get there by running, but now, because of the flower sauce, the speed is much slower.
"Is Hua Jiang tired? Would you like some water?"
Naoki Nagayama thought the little guy was thirsty from singing, so he squatted down and took out a water bottle from his small backpack.
Just as Xiaoxia was drinking water, she saw a group of elementary school students lining up to cross the road not far away. When they passed by Hana-chan, they saw Eitaro tied with a rope and Hana-chan on a tricycle, and they were all very curious.
"Konnijiwa!" "Is this a dog cart?" "It really is a cart!"
"Is this Labrador a sled dog?" "Can it run?"
Several elementary school students surrounded the novel dog-shaped car, discussing it animatedly and occasionally asking questions of Naoki Nagayama, who was standing nearby.
Children don't really care about celebrities; they're just curious about new things. And when they saw the well-behaved and adorable Xia Hua sitting on the little tricycle, they really liked her.
"How old is the little girl?" "Is she in school?" "So cute!"
This gave Naoki Nagayama a hallucination: when Hana grows up, she'll be surrounded by a group of boys pursuing her. (Blonde hair warning!)
With Naoki Nagayama by her side, Hana-chan wasn't shy at all and started chatting away, giving the impression that she was trying to get along with the elementary school students.
However, since the elementary school students had to go home after school, they didn't play around for long. After a few laughs and giggles, they dispersed.
When it was just the father and daughter left again, the little one asked:
"Dad, are they all going to school?"
"Yes, it's time to go home after school."
"So, will I have to go to school in the future?"
Yes, that's right.
Naoki Nagayama patted the little guy's head.
"Wait until next spring. No, it's a bit cold then. Wait until summer, then Hana-chan can go to kindergarten."
Is it summer?
"Um"
Seeing the little guy's curious look, Naoki Nagayama immediately turned the dog around and, instead of going to the dog park, went to a nearby kindergarten.
Xia Hua, sitting in the dog stroller, attracted the attention of the kindergarten gatekeeper, who came out to take a look.
"Private Marseille. My daughter will probably be starting kindergarten next year. Can I bring her to see her?"
"Well"
The gatekeeper hesitated for a moment. Seeing the well-dressed man and woman in front of him, he felt that they shouldn't be a threat, but he still had to listen to the principal.
"Wait a moment, I'll let Principal Pu Yuan decide."
"I see. If it's too troublesome..."
"Dry adhesive tape"
The security guard was quite generous.
She's right ahead.
As he spoke, he put down the father and daughter and quickly ran to the small playground, where he found a middle-aged woman. He also pointed to Naoki Nagayama standing at the entrance.
"."
Naoki Nagayama felt things were getting complicated.
"Nice to meet you. I am Kyoko Urazono, the principal of Ochanomizu Kindergarten."
Principal Pu Yuan, who had been walking briskly towards them with a gentle expression, wanted to get to know the students and parents who were about to start school. However, as she got closer and took a closer look, she immediately recognized the handsome young man in front of her and couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim in surprise.
"Oh, oh, oh, you are... you are... Mr. Naoki Nagayama!!"
There's no way around it, the Tokyo International Film Festival opening ceremony is still fresh in our minds, and Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nagayama are already dominating the TV screens hand in hand!!
Hi, it's me.
Naoki Nagayama also took off his hat.
"Nice to meet you, Principal Pu Yuan. I look forward to your guidance."
"Ah! Hi!"
Pu Yuanxingzi was still a little excited, but after all, the principal had met many parents of high status, so she quickly adjusted her emotions.
Looking to the side, the little one who had already gotten out of the stroller was craning their neck to look at the kindergarten:
"This must be Mr. Nagayama's daughter, right? Is she going to kindergarten?"
Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori's daughter once caused a media storm!
"Hi, her name is Nagayama Natsuka!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded and gently patted Hana-chan's head.
"Next year she'll be old enough to go to kindergarten."
"Kongnijiwa".
Akina had already taught him proper etiquette, and the little guy bowed slightly and greeted Principal Uraen.
"So cute~~"
Pu Yuanxingzi greeted the little one with a smile, and then said warmly,
"Mr. Nagayama, are you here to inspect the kindergarten? Please come in. I'll show you around!"
"Arigato."
Naoki Nagayama felt a little awkward, but he couldn't refuse. He had only wanted to show Hana-chan what the kindergarten looked like, but it had actually turned into an inspection!
When we get back, Akina will definitely complain about why she wasn't waited for!
He entrusted the car and Eitaro to the somewhat bewildered security guard, who simply nodded silently. He had no idea he'd run into a celebrity! And he hadn't even recognized him!
Holding Hana-chan's hand, Naoki Nagayama followed Principal Urazono into the kindergarten.
At this moment, some children were playing games on the small playground, and several teachers were watching. The lively atmosphere and laughter in the field captivated Hua Jiang.
The play area also has various large toys, such as slides, crawling rings, climbing nets, and sandpit shovels.
Actually, apart from the oversized multi-purpose toys, Yama-oka Institution has everything else, but it doesn't have as many playmates as it does in kindergarten.
"Our Ochanomizu Kindergarten has been established for over ten years. It is a small, upscale private kindergarten with ten teachers."
"The park has a two-story building with three classes, totaling twenty to thirty children."
"."
In Chiyoda Ward, a centrally located area, upscale, small kindergartens are a trend. The costs are just too high.
The campus wasn't particularly large, but it was well-equipped and the decor didn't look old. Naoki Nagayama checked out the students' classrooms and nap areas, and also went to see the cafeteria, which was also clean.
As for Hua Jiang, she had already been drawn to the playful antics on the playground and went over to join in.
The teacher was watching, and the other children, seeing a smaller child coming over, didn't ostracize her or anything; they happily played with her.
Naoki Nagayama watched from afar as Hana-chan quickly became friends with them, and he felt quite content.
"Yongshan Mulberry"
Principal Pu Yuan smiled and said,
"Let's go to the office; I can explain the kindergarten's specific fees."
"That's fine, money isn't an issue."
Naoki Nagayama shook his head.
"It mainly depends on whether you like the flower jam."
"Ah, of course."
Principal Urakuen almost forgot that Naoki Nagayama is a very wealthy man!
"So, Mr. Nagayama, are you satisfied with our kindergarten?"
"pretty good"
Naoki Nagayama nodded, then asked the question that made Principal Urazono's heart skip a beat.
"Is this kindergarten for sale?"
"ah?!!"
For a moment, Kyoko Uraen was confused and stared blankly at Naoki Nagayama.
"This is a private kindergarten, right? Are the operators considering selling it?"
Naoki Nagayama continued,
"I hope that Huajiang can attend the kindergarten in her own home, and the facilities here also need to be upgraded. My company also needs a kindergarten for its tree friends."
"Does Nagayama-san mean to acquire it?!"
Pu Yuanxingzi finally realized what was happening.
"It's a private Marseille location. Only the school board can answer that. However, our kindergarten has been operating for over ten years, and we don't have any plans to sell it for the time being."
"No problem, could you please give me Principal Pu Yuan's contact information?"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,
"I'll give them a price they can't refuse!"
"Forehead"
For some reason, seeing Naoki Nagayama's confident demeanor, Kyoko Urazono felt that her kindergarten was about to change hands soon.
Perhaps it was because she made new friends in the afternoon, but Xiaoxia was still very excited until she returned to Yama-oka Inner Garden.
After seeing Akina, she started chattering nonstop.
"I slid down the slide in a flash." "I fell, but I didn't cry." "Some of the older boys even wanted to give me toys."
As Akina listened to the little one's words, she took off her coat.
He reached up and touched his neck and back, feeling the dampness of sweat. He glared at Nagayama Naoki, who looked somewhat guilty, and then said to Hana-chan:
"Okay, okay, you had a lot of fun at kindergarten. Do you want to go again next time?"
"want!!"
"How about we take a shower first? We're all wet!"
"Hmm~"
"How about we take a shower before having dinner?!"
"it is good!!"
Before taking the little one to bathe, Akina approached Naoki Nagayama, who had already taken off his coat, and whispered a threat in his ear:
"Naoki-san, you took Hana-chan to check out a kindergarten, and you didn't even take me with you?!"
"Wait until tonight!!"
"Uh, it was just an accident."
Naoki Nagayama was about to explain, but Akina had already taken the chattering little one upstairs to take a bath.
Looking down, I saw that Eitaro, who had wiped his feet clean, had also run to his little nest, leaving only Naoki Nagayama alone and the faint aroma of food wafting from the kitchen.
Stepping into the living room, I saw little Lian crawling on the carpet, looking completely bewildered, drooling as she stared at her father.
"Lotus sauce."
Naoki Nagayama gently tapped his son's nose.
"Grow up quickly so you can go to kindergarten too."
During the meal, Xia Hua, who had just showered and dried herself, was already a little drowsy, but her craving for food allowed her to eat with her eyes half-closed.
"I was too tired from playing this afternoon."
Akina divided the food into small portions and fed them to the little one.
"I guess they'll go to sleep right after dinner! And then they'll have to get up in the middle of the night."
Naoki Nagayama, who received a glare from his wife, awkwardly changed the subject:
"By the way, Akina, I think the kindergarten in Ochanomizu is pretty good. It's not too far from home, and the size is just right."
"Let's just buy it and renovate it. Turn it into a kindergarten exclusively for tree enthusiasts!"
His original plan was to buy a kindergarten and then renovate it, since Hua Jiang couldn't wait that long. A new twelve-year integrated school, on the other hand, could be built.
"If Naoki-san thinks it's good, then it's fine!"
Akina's tone still carried a hint of resentment, not because of the kindergarten, but because her husband had secretly taken Hana-chan to the kindergarten, stealing her and Natsuka's chance to visit the kindergarten together!
"Oh, didn't Akina say it was a spur-of-the-moment decision? Those elementary school kids piqued Hana-chan's curiosity, so we went!"
"I only wanted to check things out, but I didn't expect the principal to be so enthusiastic and go to investigate directly!"
Seeing that his wife was still sulking, Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to give in.
"Private Marseille. It won't happen again!"
"next time?"
"Next time Ren-chan goes to kindergarten for the first time, Akina will take her, okay?!"
"Hmph. That's more like it!"
At the dinner table that followed, Naoki Nagayama and Akina chatted in detail about establishing the Tree Friends Kindergarten until Hana-chan couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.
Night fell quickly at Yama-oka-in Temple tonight; as soon as it got dark, the two little ones fell asleep.
In the dimly lit bedroom, Akina, having finished washing up, even put on makeup!
"Akina, why are you putting on makeup so late at night?!"
Naoki Nagayama asked in surprise, then, as if remembering something, his expression changed.
"Oh, is it some new skincare product?"
However, Akina ignored all of this, and immediately crawled into the covers next to Naoki Nagayama, cupping his face in her hands:
"Naoki-san, I told you I'd be waiting tonight, now you're in for it!!"
