Chapter 484: Feeling of Family Status-1 (Two in One)
Bae Joo-hyun was very cute when she was a baby, with big round eyes that were bright and lively.
There is cream on her chubby cheeks. Judging from the photo, it must have been applied by her family during her birthday.
Pei Dongkui can recall the things of that time when looking at the photos, and the seriousness is replaced by tenderness.
He pointed to one of the photos of a child chewing on a pacifier, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"This was her first time trying to use a pacifier. Joohyun was disgusted at first and spit it out after taking a couple of bites."
"Really? My dad also told me that when he was a kid, he absolutely refused to use pacifiers or bottles. He's quite like me."
Pei Dongkui narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhao Huan and was silent for a few seconds before he slowly said:
"No, not at all."
"Ok?"
Jiang Zhaohuan was a little confused. He blinked his eyes, not understanding what he had said wrong.
However, Pei Dongkui's remarks left him speechless.
"You're not as cute as my daughter."
"...Yes, uncle is right."
Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect that Pei Dongkui was not only a henpecked husband, but also a complete daughter slave.
He then continued to praise how cute Bae Joo-hyun was when she was a child, and he remembered the stories behind each photo very clearly.
Pei Dongkui kept picking up photos and telling interesting stories about his daughter's childhood.
"This is the first time she ate chocolate. And this is the picture of her crying. She cried because she had indigestion after eating fried chicken. She felt uncomfortable and wronged."
Kang Do Hwan nodded as he looked through each photo, they were indeed adorable.
How great it would be if I had a daughter like this in the future!
No, I can’t think too much now. We haven’t even entered the stage of marriage yet.
Jiang Zhaohuan pursed his lips, made up his mind, and asked carefully:
"Uncle, have you ever tried to stop Zhu Xuan from entering the entertainment industry before?"
"Yeah, there probably aren't many parents who would be willing to send their children to a place where all kinds of people come together, right?"
Pei Dongkui is just a small citizen without any great background.
In addition, since she is from a rural background, she is even more worried that her daughter will not be able to adapt after going to Seoul.
During that time, he often worried that his daughter would be bullied by people in the company. After all, bullying is commonplace on the peninsula.
In an industry like the entertainment industry, if you are not bullied by trainees, you will also be subject to corporal punishment and verbal abuse by teachers.
Jiang Zhaohuan nodded in agreement. If he had children in the future, he would definitely not recommend them to enter the circle like himself.
But if the child insists on entering the circle, he will not stop him but choose to escort him.
"Then you probably don't want Joo Hyun to stay in Seoul, right? Daegu and Seoul are close, but there is still distance between them."
Pei Dongkui lowered his head and smiled. He understood the meaning of Zhao Huan's words.
I really didn't expect that this kid is already thinking about the future. Is he not confident in himself and worried that Zhu Xuan will run away?
Pei Dongkui was a little surprised. It seemed that his daughter had already held him firmly.
He flipped through the photo album in his hand, pretending not to have heard anything, and said calmly:
"Yeah, but it's also good to stay in a big city. There's no future for development in Daegu."
"Then uncle, you..."
Pei Dongkui looked at Jiang Zhaohuan who was hesitant to speak, he curled the corners of his mouth, and completed what the other party had not finished saying.
He knew what Zhaohuan was thinking, so it was not difficult for him to guess what he wanted to say.
"You young people should solve your own problems. You don't have to follow my opinions on what you want to do."
Jiang Zhaohuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that what he wanted to say could be seen through.
He scratched his cheek with a wry smile and said a little embarrassedly:
"Because I felt that my uncle was reluctant to let me go, so I wanted to ask if it was appropriate."
"Zhu Xuan is not young anymore. If she doesn't want to get married, we can support her for the rest of her life."
Pei Dongkui paused, still feeling a little sad. He didn't expect that he would reach the age to give up his daughter.
He raised his eyes to look at Zhao Huan, and his tone became serious.
"I can see that you are a good child. I can rest assured leaving Zhu Xuan to you."
Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect that Pei's father actually agreed. He raised the corner of his mouth and nodded solemnly.
Ever since Han Suk-kyu boasted to him in person, he has become more and more determined to fulfill his dream of "starting a family and building a career."
His career was almost reaching its peak, so the remaining problem was "starting a family".
Kang Do Hwan knew very well that it was impossible for Bae Joo Hyun to leave Red Velvet so early, so his idea was to get engaged first.
She can wait until she leaves the group to talk about getting married. She can't still be jumping around in a girl group after getting married.
If that were true, I would probably be drowned in the spit of fans.
Pei Dongkui reached out and patted Zhao Huan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't be too anxious. Zhu Xuan is quite stubborn. Now that she has chosen you, she won't run away."
Jiang Zhaohuan, who was recognized, immediately activated his flattery skills. He asked with a smile:
"Yes, uncle, do you want me to go night fishing with you?"
"No. You sucked away all my luck every time I went fishing with you."
Pei Dongkui was a little tempted, but still refused with a proud look on his face.
Jiang Zhaohuan patted his chest and acted like he was very powerful, but what he said made people very angry.
He has become much bolder now and can easily joke with Pei's father.
"Uncle, I am pretty good at catching fish. I can catch some fish and put them on your hook."
"Ah Xi, you are taking advantage of me, aren't you?"
Pei Dongkui raised his foot and wanted to kick Do Hwan, but he didn't expect that the other party dodged it with his flexible movement.
He shook his head helplessly, thinking: I used to want a son to go fishing with me, but now I think two daughters would be better.
My son is really too naughty. Tsk tsk, my daughter is still more beautiful!
At this moment, Jiang Zhaohuan has unloaded the burden on him, and he doesn't have to be cautious in everything after being recognized.
He was about to say something when Park Young-ran's voice came from the door.
"What are you two doing here? I've cut up some fruit, come out and eat."
Pei Dongkui saw his wife coming, he rubbed his hands and asked in a negotiating tone:
"Honey, I didn't drink alcohol during dinner just now. Can I have two bottles of beer, one for Xiao Jiang and one for me?"
Little Jiang? When did Lao Pei start calling Zhao Huan Little Jiang?
Park Young-ran was a little confused, but this change was actually good.
This proves that Lao Pei truly regards Zhao Huan as his future son-in-law.
"Okay, just one bottle for Xiao Jiang's sake."
"Hey~ Then I'll get it myself. Xiao Jiang, wait for me in the living room."
"Ok."
Jiang Zhaohuan saw Pei Dongkui running out the door and asked in surprise:
"Aunt, why did uncle run outside to get it?"
"The temperature in winter is cold enough that people in the countryside often use well water to cool some things down."
"I see." After Jiang Zhaohuan came to the living room, he sat directly next to Bae Zhuxuan.
There was no excessive action, but it made his girlfriend a little confused.
"Where were you just now?"
"Go get my spoils."
"Trophy?"
Bae Joo-hyun narrowed her eyes suspiciously, and her hand had quietly slipped to Do-hwan's waist.
If you don't answer well, I feel like I'm going to pinch you.
"What loot? Did you make a bet with my dad?"
Jiang Zhaohuan quickly raised his hands in surrender, he had seen the strength of Bae Zhuxuan's hands.
A few days ago, while doing some exercise, she twisted her waist and bruised it.
Bae Joo-hyun didn't expect that Do-hwan would jump into the river and catch fish with his bare hands just to see his childhood photos.
No wonder the pants and clothes were so wet. She frowned distressedly and said with concern:
"You shouldn't feel unwell now, right?"
"No, I'm very healthy, don't worry."
Bae Joo-hyun sighed and pinched Do-hwan's cheek lightly with her hand.
There isn't much flesh left on his cheeks, so I have to find a way to fatten him up a little.
"You are such a fool. If you want to see it, would I not let you see it? Next time, if you want to see it, just tell me directly."
"Yes, I won't do this next time."
Pei Dongkui came back from outside with some wine, and when he walked into the living room, he noticed Kang Do-hwan leaning openly on his daughter's shoulder.
He raised his hand and hooked his finger at Zhaohuan, who quickly stood up and sat on the long sofa nearby.
Pei Dongkui was very satisfied with Do Hwan's obedience and always felt that his status in the family had increased by 1.
Normally, he is henpecked and a daughter slave, but he always gives in to the women in this family.
Now that a man has finally arrived, he shouldn't be at the bottom anyway!
Pei Dongkui brought a Go board from the side, smiled and put a bottle of beer into Dohwan's hand, and asked:
"Diaohuan, can you play Go?"
"A little bit. My dad likes playing chess very much."
Lao Song said he was used to it and almost blurted it out.
Pei Dongkui didn't expect that the young Song Shihek had such a hobby. He thought that Jiang's father liked outdoor sports such as golf and tennis.
After all, when I saw him that day, his skin color formed a sharp contrast with Jiang Zhaohuan.
If Jiang Zhaohuan knew what was going on in Pei's father's mind, he would definitely seek justice for his old father.
Lao Song used to have fair skin, but his skin was more fragile and could not withstand the sun.
Generally, if the skin is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will turn red and dark, and it will take two or three months to return to normal.
After Pei Dongkui unfolded the chessboard, he used rock-paper-scissors to decide who would take the black chess piece.
Jiang Zhaohuan has always been weak in rock-paper-scissors. He didn't even think about winning and just made a scissors gesture casually.
He never expected that Pei's father would actually play cloth, and he successfully seized the power of the black piece.
"You go first, no mercy."
"Inside."
Jiang Zhaohuan's Go level is not very high, but he still has some chance of winning against amateur players.
Bae Joo-hyun couldn't understand Go, so when she was a child, her father hoped that there would be someone in the family who could play Go.
In the end, neither she nor her sister Zhuyan were interested in playing chess, so instead of playing that game, they decided to have a happy game of dice.
So when she saw that the white pieces on the board were almost surrounding all the black pieces, she took action.
Bae Joo-hyun quietly walked to Bae Dong-kyu's side. She gently touched her father's hand holding the white piece with her elbow, suggesting that he give way to Do-hwan who was at a disadvantage.
Pei Dongkui was devastated. How could his daughter become so disloyal when she hasn't even gotten married yet?
Moreover, to outsiders it would seem that he is at a disadvantage, but the actual situation is that the white pieces are being led by the black pieces.
Seeing that her father didn't respond, Pei Zhuxuan pretended to move forward a little, pointed to a certain place on the chessboard and said:
"Dad, you can play chess here. This position looks pretty good."
The two people playing chess glanced at the place where Bae Joo-hyun pointed at at the same time. Jiang Chaohuan couldn't hold back the smile on his face and burst out laughing.
"?"
Bae Joo Hyun looked at Cho Hwan with doubt, who was holding his hands on his folded thighs and shaking his shoulders to hold back his laughter, and said puzzledly:
"What are you laughing at? Is it because I chose a position that is…"
The voice stopped abruptly, and she almost said what was in her heart.
Pei Dongkui sighed helplessly. He placed a white piece somewhere else and said meaningfully:
"Xiao Jiang, you are really good at Go. When you play Go with your father, who wins more often?"
"It's half and half. When I was little, I lost more. When I grew up, I won more."
In fact, Jiang Zhaohuan is not interested in Go. The reason why he studies hard is because he lost too many times when he was a child and he was a little unwilling to accept it. So he signed up for a Go class and challenged Lao Song again after becoming the first in the class.
Only after he had won more games than Lao Song did he stop and say that Go was boring.
The desire to win is always reflected in these little things.
Pei Dongkui realized at this that Do Hwan was definitely being modest before. His Go level was not low and he should be able to get good results in amateur competitions.
He looked at his eldest daughter with a blushing face with a smile. It seemed that she had realized how obvious her behavior just now was.
At first, Bae Joo-hyun didn't understand why her father changed the subject, but as she listened, she realized that she was worrying about nothing.
Especially after seeing Jiang Zhaohuan placing the chess piece with a smile, he collected seven or eight white pieces in one breath.
She puffed her lips and took out a wooden box that she hadn't played with for a long time. Inside was four special wooden boards, as well as several very cute animal chess pieces, namely a rabbit, a fox, a cat and a brown bear.
"We can't join you in playing Go, why don't we..."
Bae Joo Hyun smiled as she spread the dice game paper on the Go board. She glanced at Do Hwan's half-drunk beer bottle and suggested,
"Why don't we play darts? The loser gets a beer!"
Park Young-ran, who was about to fall asleep on the sofa with a facial mask on, opened her eyes instantly after hearing this and said:
"No, Lao Pei can't drink. Change the punishment rules."
"Hehe, honey, I won't necessarily lose. I'm really good at this game!"
Park Young-ran's face with the mask on did look a bit majestic. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said:
"Put aside your little tricks. Don't I know you? Even if you are good, you will lose on purpose just to drink with a clear conscience!"
"Yes, if I lose, then I will be punished..."
"As a punishment, you will give me a 10-minute massage."
"clear."
Jiang Zhaohuan blinked and looked down at the fox chess piece in his hand.
This was something Bae Joo-hyun forced into her hands more than ten seconds ago.
I don’t know why, but I always feel that Pei’s father’s current situation is my future.
grunt.
He swallowed subconsciously. This family hasn't even been established yet, but his status feels like it has already dropped by -1.
