Chapter 74 My Father's Experience
"Mommy~~......"
Jung-hwan went home and secretly plotted a plan with his mother.
That's how the scene where Ms. Leopard and Jung-hwan designed the way they greeted Jung-bong's father came about.
......
Paula's house.
A captivating program was playing on TV, and Paula's father was watching it intently.
"Hey! Turn the TV down a bit, do you really like watching TV that much?"
Paula's mother brought a table full of dishes and placed it in front of him. She took the mud clams that were closest to her and put them in the center.
Seeing his favorite dishes, Paula's father couldn't help but steal a glance at Paula's mother, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
“I like eating this~” Paula’s father said softly to Paula’s mother with a smile.
Paula's mom couldn't help but smile when she saw Paula's dad grinning from ear to ear.
“Ouch~!”
"The flavor is just right!"
Paula's dad was full of praise~
"Really? Is it not fully ripe yet?"
"Try it again~"
Paula's mom picked up a mud clam and fed it to Paula's dad.
"Is it tasty?"
"Hmm~!"
"Delicious!"
Paula's parents' playful bickering is part of their life, as is their cuddling; life isn't just about hardship, it also has its sweet moments.
......
Inside Jung-hwan's house, in Ms. Leopard's room.
Zhengfeng's dad is clipping his toenails with nail clippers.
Ms. Leopard, who was keeping accounts, yawned. Mr. Zhengfeng, who was clipping his nails across from her, suddenly froze. It looked like a toenail had just flown away!
The leopard lady yawned, smacked her lips, then suddenly frowned, reaching into her mouth to pull out a long, slender toenail.
Zhengfeng's father looked at Ms. Leopard with a guilty expression.
After taking out her toenail, Ms. Leopard looked up at Zhengfeng's father, who was swallowing hard.
The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet.
Bah~
Ms. Leopard spat twice, looked at her husband speechlessly, and stood up, supporting herself with her hands.
Zhengfeng's father instinctively raised his hands to protect himself, thinking that Ms. Leopard was about to go berserk.
"It's raining outside~ Want to grab a shot of shochu?"
Ms. Leopard looked at her husband, who was in a defensive stance, and said irritably.
Seeing Ms. Leopard's warm invitation, Zhengfeng's father slowly nodded.
Ms. Leopard turned and opened the door.
Zhengfeng's father's face immediately lit up with a smile~
She happily stood up, supporting her lower back.
In the spacious room, a photo of the two of them in their youth sat on a shelf. In the photo, they were leaning against each other, their faces beaming with smiles despite the hardships they had endured.
But~
Next to that photo, another one appeared—a group photo of Jung-hwan and Jung-bong eating steak at a restaurant...
......
The autumn wind is bleak, and fallen leaves cover the Phoenix Hall Alley.
Ms. Leopard was wearing thick clothes and was using iron pliers to hold a burnt-out honeycomb briquette.
It was almost the end of autumn, and the temperature had dropped a few degrees. Ms. Leopard suppressed a sneeze, shook her head, and ran home with her pliers in hand...
At Paula's house, Paula's mother, wearing cotton slippers, was busy walking around the kitchen, preparing meals for the family.
"Deok-sun! Is it almost time for Daddy to get off work?"
"what time is it now?"
Paula's mother took a sip of the soup, looked up with satisfaction, and asked Deok-sun.
"It's still early~"
"Mom~ Do we have to pick all of these?" Deok-sun asked Yu-hui as she picked bean sprouts.
“Yes!” Paula’s mother said.
"Second Sister~!"
Will Dad be home late today?
"There's a huge commotion in Jongno!"
Yu Hui said worriedly.
Deok-sun didn't respond, but instead looked up at the TV.
"Mom~! I'm going out for a bit~!" Deok-sun suddenly sat up, put on her shoes, and ran out.
"Hey~ Dinner's ready! Where are you going?"
Bora's mother peeked out the door and called out to Deok-sun.
"I'll just be out for a little while~!" Deok-sun's voice trailed off.
"That brat~"
"Oh dear~ the older one hasn't come back, and the younger one has run away too~"
"Hey~"
Paula's mother looked at the remaining Yu Hui, who was now sitting blankly at the table, and sighed...
Liu Shuyu's home.
He was cooking in the kitchen when he heard a shout coming from the yard.
"Shuyu~"
"Shuyu~"
Deok-sun ran in quickly.
"Oh! Deok-sun! What's wrong?" Liu Shu-yu, carrying a spatula and wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and asked Deok-sun.
“There are protesters on the road where Dad gets off work today. Could you please drive me there? I want to pick him up,” Deok-sun said to Yoo Seo-woo.
"Oh? A demonstration?" Liu Shuyu thought for a while before remembering that there had been a lot of university student demonstrations lately, and... it seemed like Paula had participated too.
Seeing Deok-sun's concern for her father, Yoo Seo-woo nodded in agreement.
Picking someone up or dropping them off is a piece of cake.
“Let’s go together!” Deok-sun said, looking at Yoo Seo-woo, who was taking off his apron and getting ready to drive.
"No need~ Deok-sun~ You can just wait at home~" Liu Shuyu was worried about Deok-sun and didn't want him to go with her, since the road where Bora's father got off work was quite chaotic, with protesters everywhere.
"Oh dear! It's okay! I won't get off the bus!" Deok-sun said, pouting.
"Alright then," Liu Shuyu conceded.
"Let's go quickly~ Dad hasn't come back yet! I wonder how he is~~" Deok-sun said worriedly, and then quickly pulled Yoo Seo-woo outside.
Smoke swirled around Jongno Street as riot police, armed with batons and shields, chased after the demonstrators. Amidst the smoke, a figure moved through the crowd—Paula's father, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase.
Finally emerging from the smoke, Paula's father coughed and lowered the handkerchief covering his mouth and nose. Before he could catch his breath, a flustered-looking young man hurriedly took off his mask and came over to take his arm.
Paula's father turned to look at the young man with a puzzled expression. The two exchanged a glance, and when he saw a hint of pleading in the boy's eyes, Paula's father thoughtfully glanced at the riot police who had followed behind them.
"Oh dear! Really!"
"You brat! You absolutely mustn't get involved in that kind of thing! Understand?"
"Just focus on your studies!"
Seeing that two riot police officers were about to come up, Paula's father had a quick idea and "taught" him a lesson.
Seeing this, the two riot police officers ignored the two men and turned to leave.
Thank you!
The young man breathed a sigh of relief as the riot police left, and bowed deeply to Paula's father.
Hey! Classmate!
The boy heard Paula's father call out and turned to look at him.
"Um~!"
"Take this and buy some good food!"
Paula's father took out a Korean won and handed it to him.
The boy looked at Paula's father, his eyes darting around, unable to meet his gaze, somewhat at a loss.
"What are you doing?! Hurry up and put it away!" Paula's father urged.
The boy then accepted it.
"Make sure you clean up before you go home!"
Paula's father looked at him and said.
The boy looked at Paula's father, bowed deeply again, and turned to leave.
"Let's go back~~"
Paula's father murmured as he watched him leave.
This student, who is even younger than his daughter, is someone else's child, which is really worrying Paula's father.
