This is called a Bordeaux mixture.

It's a mixture of copper sulfate and slaked lime...

You take it like this...

If you blow this on the orange tree, I'm told

that the insects won't get on the trees.

The insects won't get on the tree?

That's right... I saw in the prefectural agricultural

association's bulletin.

If we can use this...

Does that mean...?

We won't have to spread out and check for

insects one by one...

That's ridiculous! If that's really true, then it would

be great progress.

So, Dad...

Please don't sell the mountain yet.

My husband...

Let's give it a try.

Ridding the trees of the insects was the most

difficult thing for me.

If that Bordeaux mixture really works, and we

won't have to go through the trees to get rid of

the insects, it would be so great.

Mom... You actually don't like insects, do you?

That's right. Ainosuke... Thank you.

Thank you so much.

We don't know if it'll work or not yet, do we?

Chiyo didn't agree to any of the marriage prospects

that Eizaburo and Sachi kept bringing to her.

I'm sorry you have to go through this so many times, Sachi.

It's okay... Since Chiyo's first love was someone

like that, I knew from the beginning that it would

be quite difficult.

That's true... He's a Tokyo Imperial University student...

So you didn't realize, did you?

Chiyo was a precocious child, so her first love was from a long time ago.

Really?

That's right. Her first love was...

Mr. Godai.

Hello...

Mr. Godai!

You've grown again, haven't you?

I brought some sweets, so you can have some.

Thank you.

Is that right?

That was her first love?

That Tomo-chan!

I guess it can't be helped.

I'll talk to some people I know and Mr. Narusawa...

Hello!

It's Mr. Narusawa.

Grandma... I'm sorry.

I want you to see me in my wedding outfit

as soon as possible, but...

It's okay. What I want most is for you to be happy.

So there's no need to rush.

Grandma's gotten so weak.

Maybe instead of getting married, do you think

I could make Grandma happy if I went to the university

that could be opening soon?

Don't say things like that.

The university is for people who realty want to study.

It's a place that's only for people who are prepared to put what

they learned to good use.

If you go to the university with such a half-hearted

attitude, I won't forgive you.

You're right.

I'm sorry, Nobu.

No... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put it so strongly.

I'm sorry.

Tamura! Are you home?

Is that Mr. Narusawa?

Darn! When did he come back from Tokyo?

I'll help you.

Thanks.

Yes?

What did you just say?

Nobu Tamura... Will you enter our women's university as a

member of the inaugural class?

Are you okay, Nobu?

You've worked for me with devotion and you really

understand my way of thinking.

And you're learning so that you can understand it.

If we have a woman like you in the university,

someone who would spiritually lead the other students,

it would be reassuring to me.

If you really want to, then I'll take Mr. Narusawa's letter

and try to convince your parents.

Asa-Sensei...

Won't you go to the university?

I don't know what to say.

Aren't you glad?

I'm so glad, Nobu.

Don't cry!

I'm so glad.

And a new morning came.

I'm so glad.

But if Nobu goes to Tokyo, I'll be lonely.

We've been sleeping together all this time.

So maybe I'll come and sleep with you.

Grandma?

Grandma can't eat the sweets that she loved so much.

The only sweet thing she can get down her throat

now is grated apples.

I'll go and buy some apples.

Thank you.

Welcome home!

I'm home. Did you go shopping again?

It looks like you didn't throw any money away today...

None of your business.

I'm sorry!

Could it be...?

By any chance... that you're still single?

I guess it would be a miracle if you were...

I am.

What are you doing?

It's Chiyo!

Grandma?

That smells so good.

What a surprise.

Grandma.

Kano...

My husband granted by selfish wish, didn't he?

He really did.

Chiyo!

Grandma...

Keisuke told me.

I owe it to you.

I'm sorry to worry you.

Not at all.

Look at that...

She looks like a bride.

She really does.

Make her happy...

Please... make her happy.

I will.

Two weeks later...

Yono quietly passed away surrounded by everyone at Kano-ya.

Mom...

Thank you.

Say "hi" to Dad for me.

Mother...

Thank you.

I'm sorry I didn't meet your expectations

as a bride. Forgive me.

Thank you so much.
