Chapter 143 Zhengfeng, who loves to eat wild vegetables
Deok-sun's House
Yu Hui was cooking ramen for herself in the kitchen.
Mom has to stay at the shop today, so I'll have to take care of this myself.
"Sister~ Bora unnie?" Sunwoo called out gently as he pushed open the half-closed door.
"Brother, eldest sister isn't here." Yu Hui's call of "brother" startled the guilty Shan Yu.
"Are you looking for her?" Yu Hui asked curiously.
"Oh~! It's just... there's something I wanted to ask her~" Sunwoo sighed and explained.
"Hey~ Yu Hui~ Where did Bora go?" Sunwoo asked curiously.
"Big sister went out~ I don't know where she went~" Yu Hui shook his head.
"Oh, okay~ You eat then~ I'm leaving now~" Sunwoo turned and left disappointed.
Yu Hui watched Shan Yu's retreating figure and scratched his head.
Before, you looked for your second sister? Now you look for your eldest sister?
Yu Hui: So you can't come to me?
Deok-sun: You know why I can't come to you.
Yu Hui:.......

Phoenix Hall Hutong
Sun-young carried the bucket, happily filling it with coal briquettes, and headed home.
"What's going on?" Passing by Cui Wusheng's house, I glanced curiously at the shop outside.
"It's been closed for days now?" Sun-young muttered.
The shop, which is usually open even on holidays, has been closed for several days.
"Sun-young!" Ms. Leopard, wearing her signature leopard-print coat and carrying a bag of trash, walked out of the door and called out when she saw Sun-young in the alley.
"Hmm?" Sunyoung turned to look at her.
"Come in quickly! Let's play cards!" Ms. Leopard shouted to her, making a card-playing gesture with her hand.
"Play Hanafuda! Play Hanafuda!" Sun-young's mother called out as she ran home, carrying a bucket of coal.
It seems that Hanafuda (flower cards) holds quite a place in her heart!
........
In the center of a funeral hall, there was a black and white photograph of a man.
Outside the room, some of the people gathered were playing cards, while others were drinking.
Cui Wusheng, who had disappeared from the alley for several days, was among them.
Choi Moo-sung, who was sitting opposite Seon-young, seemed a little downcast.
The two sat quietly at the table, each drinking alone, completely oblivious to the noise around them.
"How could such a thing happen?" After drinking two more glasses of wine, Brother Sun-young finally couldn't hold back his emotions and looked at Choi Moo-seong sadly.
"That kid made a promise with me, saying he'd go hiking next month..." As he spoke, Brother Shanying, looking at the burly man, couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe away tears.
"Wu Sheng..."
"Have we reached that age already?"
"what!"
"At only 45 years old, is that an age when one should die?"
What about my sister-in-law?
"What about the child?"
"Meiyun, she's only 10 years old this year! 10 years old..."
Across from Brother Shanying, Cui Wusheng silently poured himself a drink, sipping it one glass after another, listening intently to his sorrowful words about the sudden death of his fellow villager.
The death of their fellow villager deeply touched Cui Wusheng and his companion...
They had only three friends from their hometown in Seoul, but now one of them has passed away overnight.
The three of them are like saplings that grew from the same roots in their hometown, and now they have taken root in Seoul.
The fellow villagers who came with us died first, and one of the three trees fell down.
The mother and daughter sheltered under this big tree are just like he once took Taek, and just like Sunyoung took Sunwoo and Jinju...
"There's no order to death; that's just how life is."
"What's the point of struggling to live? You can be gone overnight..."
Having already experienced the pain of losing his wife once, he could better understand this kind of suffering, but he did not weep and wail like his older brother, Sun-young.
He had already shed enough tears the night his wife passed away. If it weren't for Sun-young calling him then and strongly inviting him to bring Taek to live in Seoul...
Maybe he and Aze will just stay in their hometown and live out their lives together...
ah~
He's still somewhat dejected, living only for his son and not caring much about his own affairs. Even his high blood pressure diagnosis hasn't been seen, and he's never been seen taking any medication...
It was as if his own affairs were completely unimportant, except for Aze's...
Choi Moo-sung turned to look at the 10-year-old girl who was asleep beside her mother in the inner part of the mourning hall, and his throat choked with emotion.
The two drank glass after glass of wine, as if trying to wash away their sorrow with the spiciness of the liquor.
But each glass of wine I drank felt like a punctured gallbladder, each sip a bitter taste, leaving my heart filled with bitterness...

Zhengfeng Family
A gray blanket was laid out on the ground, and the two sat on either side of it.
Some of the red and black floral cards were laid out in a row on the ground, while others were held in the hands of the two people.
"Let me see~ Great!" Ms. Leopard picked up a card and slammed it on the ground, shouting excitedly.
"I don't see Zhengfeng? Where did he go?" Shanying reached out and drew a card.
"I went to the temple," Ms. Leopard replied casually, engrossed in her card game.
"At the temple? Are you feeling unwell again?" Shan Ying asked with concern as she picked up a card.
"No, I just went to relax."
"He probably just wanted to clear his mind."
Ms. Leopard said nonchalantly, focusing intently on the cards, but one could see the thirst for knowledge in Sun-young's eyes.
He still offered a thoughtful explanation.
He likes temples; he's the only Buddhist in my family.
"Oh dear! The food at that temple must be pretty bad, right?" Shanying asked curiously.
"Heh~ Do you know what Zhengfeng likes most besides ramen?" Ms. Leopard kept her in suspense.
Sun-young shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
"Wild vegetables!"
"His favorite dish is the bibimbap with wild vegetables at the temple!"
"It's really impressive how someone can get that fat by eating only wild vegetables!"
After explaining, Ms. Leopard couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment about Zhengfeng.
But then I thought about it, and Jung-bong really loves sweets~
If it weren't for Ms. Leopard controlling his sweet tooth, he probably would have turned into a ball by now!
In addition, people with heart disease cannot exercise.
Being overweight is understandable.

temple
The chubby Zhengfeng, dressed in a gray monk's robe, sat opposite the thin master.
Looking at the wild vegetable mixed with rice in the bowl, Zhengfeng happily stirred it.
After taking one bite, Zhengfeng's round face was filled with a blissful expression.
In no time at all, they had devoured the wild vegetable rice.
Looking at my empty bowl, I saw everyone around me slowly eating.
Zhengfeng looked at the master opposite him with embarrassment.
"Um... Master~" Zhengfeng raised his right palm in a gesture of respect.
The master put down his chopsticks and returned the gift with a puzzled expression.
Master: The believer is so polite, even bowing while eating!
"I'd like to have another bowl~" Zhengfeng clasped his hands together and bowed again.
Master: Amitabha! You're not here to pay your respects, you're here to beg!
"May you attain Buddhahood!" Zhengfeng, seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the masters, quickly bowed deeply once more.
master:......
