2017-03-03 "Well, Momotaro was not needed at all" [長年日記]

I came in on that how an old couple in nursery story "Momotarou" was living in their life.

I am curious about a part of

"Grandpa goes to mount to mow, and Grandma goes to river to wash"

What is "mow"?

Grandpa worked as maintenance worker in gold course?

However, this correct answer seems to be "to gather firewood".

Grandpa was supposed to gather dead branches, to go downtown, and make a living.

The phrase of "Grandma goes to river to wash" has also doubts.

If she washed clothes for two people, I do not think that there are so much quantity.

To begin with, they were old with a small amount of metabolism, I think that dirty way was not too bad.

-----

However, grandpa, for example, who

was like a free-climbing player,

entered into secret bases in the mountains,

could get rare valuable dead branches with tremendous combustion energy

might be a "active and mussel grandpa", and

if grandma, for example, who

could plan the optimum strategy of laundry in advance,

coud perform laundry scheduling to satisfy overall optimization

might be an "intelligent grandma".

-----

If so, they should have be the strongest pair.

They may have been able to raid the Onigashima, and annihilate the demons, as a single unit.

"Well, Momotaro was not needed at all"

I previously cooperated with making her original manga of my second daughter's work.

I'm thinking that selling "this story" to her, and imposing an illustration of my column on her.
