:45:04
Of course we'd like to do that. But y'know, Taeko-san is clearly a
Tokyo woman, so...
:45:14
And that's it.
:45:16
But y'know, Taeko-san likes it here, an' works hard in the fields, so
it's fine with us.
:45:26
In fact, of course it'd be great if she became Toshio-san's wife.
:45:32
What, you too--what're you saying? Don't you think this is rude to
Taeko-san?
:45:36
Think: Taeko-san's got a job already in Tokyo, and Toshio is younger
than her, to boot.
:45:44
Oh, but she could find a job in Yamagata, too, couldn't she?
:45:50
Taeko-san, please don't get angry, just hear me out. All young wives
of farmers have other jobs on the side, these days, so...
:46:00
Why did you have to bring all this up? Besides, Taeko-san's only
visited here twice to enjoy her vacation.
:46:10
You're only embarrassing her by saying this kind of thing out of the
blue.
:46:14
So you're against us, then.
:46:16
That's beside the point. I'm trying to say you should face this kind
of thing realistically.
:46:23
We haven't even asked Toshio about his feelings, anyway, so I wonder
how Ban-chan can come off and say...
:46:27
I can tell right away just by looking at Toshio.
:46:30
Right. Instead of assuming its impossible from the start, like you,
why don't we ask how Taeko-san feels...
:46:39
Taeko-san!
:46:47
Leave her alone.
:46:52
See what I've been saying? You should know better and build up to that
kind of question more slowly.
:46:59
I don't think I was wrong.
