Episode 147 – Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter – (3)

As soon as you enter the main gate.

“Is it a river?”

“Has the river come?”

“Puppy! Over here!”

Everyone from the neighborhood elders to the guys from Sanggye-dong greeted me as if they had been looking out the front door all day.

How can one compare a person to an animal, but his appearance was like a puppy waiting for its owner.

It means welcoming someone purely and without calculation, like a puppy.

And to receive that welcome.

“Not bad.”

My little sister, who had come running, spoke with twinkle in her eye.

“Hey! What are you standing there doing? Get to work!”

“Huh? Huh.”

This may also be a type of anticipation.

Could this be the case for cats?

I heard that she was very proud, and that was also her charm. Now that I think about it, my little sister seems to have a cat-like appearance.

Dadada.

Mom, who was running quickly across the ground, hit her little sister on the back.

Swish!

“Whoa! Why are you hitting me-”

“You- to the younger sibling who came back from working hard outside!”

“What hardship! We are the ones doing all the work!”

Well, is this the sturdiness of a golden retriever?

Sigh.

How can I compare my sisters, my lovely mother, and the people here to animals? If they had heard, wouldn’t my back have been set on fire too?

Still, it’s not so bad that there are all kinds of people who genuinely welcome me.

Look here, look there.

There are only people looking at me, my sister, and my mother with loving eyes. So how could I feel bad?

“That’s right, Mom, I didn’t have any trouble. I don’t have any, so can you just bring them?”

“What is it? Something feels wrong?”

My quick-witted younger sister stares at me intently and hands me the plate.

“Something, right now, I feel like I’m being ignored.”

“No, it’s a misunderstanding.”

“Umm…”

“You- anyway! My younger brother didn’t ignore me, so what are you ignoring me now?”

“No, Mom! What the hell was this kid thinking? Look, his eyes are rolling! I can hear his head spinning from here!”

“Swish! There are so many people here, do you want to goof off again?”

“This…”

I wonder if they’ll be laying out a mat or drinking some soju soon.

I quickly started carrying the bag, erasing the animals that came to mind.

“Oh my- Kang-i! You worked hard! You’ve done really well this time too! These days, if you just say you live in Sanggye-dong, people will start a fuss at work, right?”

“Haha, really?”

“Then – how many people ask if I know you – I’m so proud!”

“I have to work harder-”

“Oh my! If this continues, aren’t we going to have a president from our neighborhood?”

“Hey, even if you say so, hyung! What kind of unlucky president is that! That rotten…”

The moment the old bachelor Mr. Choi starts talking about politics, the people around him hurriedly cover his mouth and look around.

“Man! That’s what they say, that’s what they say!”

“Puppy! Don’t be the president! Just be a big— man!”

“Oh my- why is Mr. Choi saying the right thing? Mom! Don’t even think about that, President-”

“I don’t want to be a big person, I want to be a happy person.”

“Huh? A happy person?”

“Yes, just like now.”

Suyeong’s older sister’s father, Choi Deok-su, laughs loudly.

“Hahahahaha – That’s a stupid question, Kang!”

“Attara-ya- Gramo, would you like to receive the happy drink that our river gives you?”

I quickly smiled and poured makgeolli into Ms. Hwang Ok-kyung’s glass.

“Where- Let me have a drink with our Sanggye-dong pride!”

You and I both raise our glasses.

I smiled and filled all their glasses, then secretly lifted the silver bowl. The owner, Choi Deok-su, who was no longer the owner, instinctively lifted the makgeolli container.

“Huh? This is killing me!”

“Are you only watching me?”

My little sister suddenly appeared, grabbed my earlobe, and dragged me away.

“it hurts!”

“This little brat is drinking makgeolli to death! He doesn’t even have any blood on his head!”

“If your head dries up, you die!”

“Shoot! Are you talking back? I’ll fly away.”

Hmm, it’s a shame I didn’t get to have a drink on a nice day like today.

My younger sister, who had dragged me to my older sister who was pouring tea, snatched the silver bowl from my hand, walked over with a sway in her hips, and offered a glass to Mr. Deoksu.

“I’ll have a drink instead of the river!”

The little sister shouts confidently.

Even though I’m a college student, I drink alcohol now.

“Oh my – that was a huge opportunity.”

My older sister shakes her head and then giggles. It looks like my older sister is in a good mood today.

Cheeeeeeek.

With the sound of a weak fire being lit, my older sister glances at me and asks.

“Did you get it done well?”

Who are you talking about?

Is it Park Jeong-yong?

Or is it talking about the lingering regret of the illegitimate grandmother?

After thinking about the answer for a moment, he nodded. Whatever it was, I have no regrets, so I guess it was right to send it well.

“huh.”

“Well done.”

The corners of my mouth go up on their own.

I’m not the type of person who craves compliments, but my older sister’s compliments feel a little different.

“Just be like this now, our river.”

I shook my head.

“That won’t work?”

“huh?”

“You can’t just be an aspiring filial son. You have to be a real filial son.”

My older sister smiles brighter than any other person in the world.

“Hey, have you been talking a lot lately?”

“You were good at talking.”

“Yeah, I did. Only when I asked for money.”

Suddenly attacking and stuff.

My older sister’s speech is very gentle.

Contrary to what was said.

I guess today is the day that my eldest sister disarms. Soon, maybe my eldest sister will be drunk on makgeolli and humming a song.

Sometimes, I have a good day.

Get well soon, my older sister said.

“Let’s see how our former prosecutor is doing-”

I picked up one of the pancakes my older sister had prepared and ate it with my hands.

The harmony of small, chewy pumpkin, sweet potato, and green onion creates a taste that will make you happy.

“Hey- what is the inspection-”

“Are you preparing well?”

“Um… well, yeah.”

It seems like preparations aren’t going smoothly. After all, the restaurant is so busy these days that it must be difficult for my older sister, who only works at the restaurant from morning to noon, to keep up with her schoolwork.

“Is the restaurant very busy?”

My older sister smiled brightly and said, “When was the last time you were in the shade?”

“Yeah! Mom, you seem to be flying these days. I can’t tell you how lucky I am that business is going well.”

I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

Now, my mother and older sister can live comfortably, but they are not the ones who will listen to me at all.

“Shouldn’t we hire some staff for the restaurant?”

My older sister glances at Mrs. Hwang Ok-kyung and my mother, who are telling me to drink.

“Well… I wonder if Mom would do that.”

“If I hire someone for the restaurant, my sister will study too.”

After summer.

Maybe my overseas trips will increase.

The world is in turmoil, and I too must go with the flow.

So, I have no choice but to be busy.

“Hey, it’s okay, how much money do you have?”

My eldest sister, who is in charge of our household accounts, finally shakes her head.

Even though they say they are doing inspections, it seems like they have not yet experienced and do not know that this is not something that can be easily solved through studying.

No, even if I knew, it might still be impossible in the reality that my older sister knows.

“Sister.”

“huh?”

“There are many people who only eat rice three times a day, and no, there are many people who study without even eating.”

“huh?”

“People like that should stay away.”

“Ah… the bar exam?”

“huh.”

The older sister thinks about something for a moment and then shakes her head.

“I need to try harder.”

That’s not what I meant.

I soon nodded my head.

It seems like it’s still hard to accept.

But soon, very soon.

To be exact, as soon as possible.

I need to make my older sister quit helping out at the restaurant. Just like she quit that crappy company.

Over there, I see the guys from Sanggye-dong playing around and making a lot of noise.

This summer will be very busy for me too.

There are some good guys over there.

It will take a lot of time to think together to find a good path.

“I’m going to see my friends.”

“Yeah- I’m done now.”

My older sister also finished transferring the last of the food to a bowl and stood up from her seat.

My sister moved towards my mother, and I moved towards the guys.

“Hey! Why are you here now? Sanggeun’s kid is going to eat everything!”

Kim Seong-hak’s words are not a lie; the food placed in front of them is so clean that it looks like it was empty to begin with.

“Did you even wash the dishes?”

Sanggeun looks embarrassed at my joke and the kids giggle.

If SNS were developed in this world, it would be great to do mukbang, but it’s not that time now, so I guess I’ll have to do something else first. Well, it won’t be too late to start mukbang even if I start in 30 years. It doesn’t seem like Sanggeun’s appetite will change.

Knock knock.

Sang-geun patted the guy on the shoulder.

“You decided.”

“Huh? What?”

Hwang Dong-su jumps up and puts his arms between my armpits.

“No! Cap!”

“What? Why is this happening?”

“Didn’t Sanggeun decide to do it?”

Kim Seong-hak chuckles.

“Hey! Make sense-”

An Hyo-ryong shakes his head.

“Why doesn’t it make sense? It does.”

“Hey, who is that Sanggeun? Kang? Hey-”

What the heck, I feel a little bad about this.

But I sympathize.

Because I don’t have the confidence to handle Sanggeun.

“Sanggeun will lose unilaterally.”

Kim Seong-hak nodded, then smiled faintly and said.

“No, maybe the river will eat the fist because it tastes good.”

“Oh- that makes sense too.”

Sang-geun slowly reaches out and tightly grabs Kim Seong-hak’s wrist.

“Ah! Aah! That hurts, you little shit!”

“I want to eat your hand first.”

“Ouch- Aaaah! This kid is really going to eat you! Hey hey! Hey! I was wrong! I was wrong, you little shit!”

“You are an appetizer.”

Then he stares at Hyo-ryong.

“Stop it! Stop it! Hwang Dong-su! Stop him, not Kang! Stop him!”

Dong-su quickly climbs onto Sang-geun’s shoulder, and as if that wasn’t enough, Hyo-ryong also joins in, but Sang-geun opens his mouth wide like a real bear and takes Kim Seong-hak’s relatively small hand into his mouth.

“Ahh, d, it’s going in! It’s going in! C-”

He chuckled and patted Sanggeun on the shoulder.

“Stop it, the baby is going to cry.”

At my words, Sanggeun chuckles and lets go of Seonghak’s hand.

“this person!”

Seonghak tries to continue speaking, but Sanggeun smiles and raises his hand, so he closes his mouth.

“Heh heh heh.”

“Hehehe.”

“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”

That sight made everyone burst into laughter.

After all, Sanggeun has work to do.

It is no exaggeration to say that it has already been decided. It is like a tiger from Buk-am Mountain roaring on the sandy beach.

“yes?”

“Huh? What?”

“No, no, eat, eat.”

Kim Seong-hak wiggles his buttocks and distances himself from Sang-geun.

“What are you going to eat? I already ate everything.”

Seonghak’s words are scary.

My little sister came out of nowhere with both hands full of plates and placed them on our table.

“Hey! If there’s no food, you can just bring it and eat it. Do you really have to bring it like this? Oh! There’s something worth talking about.”

Gyuyeol, Taesu, Dongsu, Seonghak, and even Hyo-ryong all stand up from their seats like lightning.

“Yes! Sister!”

“We’ll bring it and eat it!”

“No! We will bring it to other places where it is lacking!”

“That’s right! I’ll move!”

These guys.

“Is that okay? Isn’t there anyone else who eats a lot besides you guys?”

“No, no, that’s not it, sis!”

The Sanggye-dong guys are glaring at Sanggeun, who is sitting in his seat, guarding his heavy butt.

Knock knock.

Yeah, I’m glad it’s not you.

The older sister chuckled at the guys’ reactions and then gently patted Sanggeun’s back as she spoke.

“Isn’t it delicious? My sister made this.”

“Hehe-”

Sanggeun fills his mouth with food and smiles. Seeing him, his little sister coughs in vain and disappears.

“These kids are not allowed! Absolutely not!”

In my eyes, dirt, no, iron filings, no, absolutely not.

“I can’t die!”

“what-”

As soon as the older sister disappeared, the guys sat back down as if nothing had happened and licked their lips in regret.

How dare you, you can’t do it even if you die!

Our older sisters can’t get married! They won’t get married!

You will live with me for the rest of your life.

I’m so glad that Sang-geun isn’t interested in my older sister…

“Hey, what’s wrong with you?”

Sanggeun froze in place with that guy smiling.

His face gradually turns red and his eyes stare blankly into space.

“I said no, you kids!”

This summer is going to be very busy.

I quickly turned my head and looked at my sisters. They were carrying plates of food and bottles of alcohol here and there.

Where are the women? They walk around and sit with their ankles exposed.

I hurriedly stuffed the japchae into Sanggeun’s mouth, who was staring at his older sister.

“Eat! Eat! Just eat!”

I won’t give it to you even if I die.

I can’t give it to you.
