a.k.a. cold winds sometimes bring colds

Fumie was washing daikon, the large long white radish that is popular in Japan. She rubbed the daikon with a rough scrubber in cold water, then tied the leaves together and hung pairs of daikon on the bamboo poles that she used for washing. Shigeru came out of the house as she sneezed. "Are you all right? Maybe you shouldn't hang daikon when it's cold like this." Fumie rubbed her nose, and said, "No, I'm fine. They say that a cold wind makes daikon sweet, so this is good for the daikon."

Meanwhile, Fumie was talking to Grandma's picture. "Well, my husband is working." She started to fold a paper crane. There was a flashback to Shigeru saying "I lost a week." She said, "What about our marriage?" Then she starts singing There's no place like home. The voice over told us she was feeling lonely. But Fumie said, "No, cheer up. You can do this." She finished the paper crane and set it beside the picture.
