[07:39] Ine     All you can do is nod your     head when it's appropriate. [07:42] Ine     A hospital is a place meant for     healing people of their illnesses. [07:45] Ine     It isn't a place where one     should expect to be served. [07:48] Ine     Kaede-san, just be open and confident. [07:53] Kaede     Mother! [07:56] Ine     You're all working so hard.

SIGN    Ahahaha [09:20] Shiori     Why are you treating it like a death game? [09:23] Shouzou     First, we divide up mine and Grandma's.

[09:54] Shiori     Grandpa, do you all write     everything by hand? [09:57] Shouzou     The addresses, yes, but we asked     Yoshiaki to print the fronts for us. [10:02] Ine     We had too much going on     this year to do otherwise. [10:05] Ine     We weren't sure what to write, [10:08] Ine     so we decided to just send that.

[12:26] Shouzou     Oh, that's right. [12:28] Shouzou     I have to hurry up and eat     so I can get things ready. [12:34] Mino     Grandpa! Grandma! Morning! [12:40] Shouzou     Morning, Mino, Shouta-kun. [12:43] Shouta     Good morning! [12:45] Shouta     Thank you for teaching me today. [12:59] Shouzou     You young people sure do     improve quickly, don't you? [13:03] Shouzou     The way you prune branches     is really shaping up. [13:06] Shouta     No, sir. Compared to you,     I still have a long way to go. [13:11] Shouta     Just pruning one tree is hard work for me, [13:14] Shouta     but you've done every tree in     this orchard, haven't you? [13:18] Shouzou     Well, yes, I have. [13:21] Shouzou     It's only a few hundred trees. No big deal. [13:25] Shouzou     So, Shouta-kun, how have things     been with Mino lately? [13:30] Shouta     What?! [13:31] Shouta     They've, um... [13:33] Shouta     They've been going... well.

Grandpa's playing     with Shouta-kun again. [13:47] Ine     Well, he's basically like     our grandson at this point. [13:51] Ine     Allow him a little leeway, won't you? [13:53] Ine     More importantly, Mino,     are you sure about this? [13:55] Ine     Coming to help us on your day off? [13:58] Mino     It's totally fine! [14:00] Mino     I really like working in the orchard. [14:05] Mino     Besides, I committed to looking     after the apple tree we planted. [14:11] Ine     The truth is, you just want to     spend time with Shouta-kun. [14:14] Mino     N-No, it's not like that! [14:18] Shouta     Mino! [14:20] Shouta     Mino! Can you help pick up      branches for a minute? [14:23] Mino     Shouta-kun! [14:25] Mino     I told you not to call me by my first name     in front of Grandpa and Grandma yet! [14:30] Mino     Honestly! [14:33] Shouzou     Well, then, I'll leave the     branches over there to you two. [14:36] Shouta     Y-Yes, sir! Will do. [14:43] Shouta     Is something wrong? [14:45] Shouzou     No, it's nothing. [14:49] Shouzou     Shouta-kun, I'll leave the rest to you. [14:56] Shouta     Yes, sir. [15:01] Ine     Well, if you need anything,     just call for us. [15:03] Mino     Okay! [15:16] Mino     Next... [15:18] Shouta     Yes? [15:19] Mino     Want to try working over there? [15:21] Shouta     Sure. [15:22] Mino     Okay!

[15:57] Ine     Now, Grandpa, don't say things like that! [16:03] Shouzou     Shall we take a rest here? [16:05] Ine     Yes, let's. [16:20] Ine     The weather today is so nice     that it's making me sleepy. [16:25] Shouzou     Yeah. My thoughts are just drifting away. [16:33] Shouzou     Grandma, did you hear about Shiori? [16:37] Ine     Yes, I did. [16:42] Shouzou     That's our granddaughter for you.     She's really impressive. [16:46] Ine     She said she's applying to     the medical department. [16:49] Ine     And thanks to the power of Takahashi-kun's     home tutoring, her grades are soaring. [16:55] Shouzou     Apparently, every time the Takahashis go to     Takahiro's clinic, they talk about Shiori. [17:02] Shouzou     He said that doesn't really     count as medical care. [17:07] Ine     We should secretly give them     some apples as thanks. [17:11] Shouzou     Grandma, you really do like leaving things     at the door without a word, don't you? [17:17] Ine     Akemi's sons have all gone off on their own, [17:20] Ine     so she's got a little more     freedom than she used to. [17:25] Shouzou     And Yoshiaki seems to have     found a new place to work. [17:30] Shouzou     I do wonder how this one will work out. [17:37] Shouzou     There's no way of telling     what'll happen tomorrow. [17:41] Ine     That's true. [17:43] Ine     I can't even imagine what will     happen with the children next. [17:50] Shouzou     But those kids... [17:53] Ine     will be just fine. [18:02] Shouzou     Next week... there's the gateball tournament. [18:06] Ine     We practiced a lot with     Matsunosuke and the others... [18:12] Ine     so I'm sure we'll beat Minamimachi. [18:18] Shouzou     For summer vacation, Akemi     and the others will come... [18:22] Ine     Kousuke and the others will have grown.     We'll all set off fireworks together. [18:33] Shouzou     Grandma, if you could have one wish... [18:38] Shouzou     what would you wish for? [18:45] Ine     A wish? [18:51] Ine     My wish... [18:57] Ine     has already come true. [19:00] Shouzou     I see. So has mine. [19:09] Shouzou     Grandma, what do you want to do tomorrow? [19:13] Ine     Let's see... [19:15] Ine     Tomorrow, Grandpa, you and I will... [20:29] Mino     Grandpa! Grandma! Let's have lunch! [20:34] Mino     If you sleep there,     you'll both catch colds! SIGN    50 years      later [22:39] Shouta     Hey, Grandma! [22:42] Shouta     Grandma! [22:44] Shouta     Grandma! [22:48] Shouta     Grandma! [22:50] Mino     What is it, Grandpa? [22:52] Shouta     Just come over here for me, won't you? [22:55] Mino     Incredible! What is that? [23:01] Shouta     This is the tree we planted when     we were students, isn't it? [23:15] Shouta     What do we do? Should we     put it on the kamidana? [23:18] Mino     Well, it seems a waste to     just set it aside like that. [23:33] Shouta; Mino     Let's try eating it.
