Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 10 Aigoo, President Kim!

“Yes, it’s the same day as Deok-sun!” Sun-woo’s mother replied.

"Should we buy the child a gift?" Paula's mother continued to ask.

"Yes, I don't know what to buy." Sunwoo's mother looked thoughtful.

"Oh, right," as if remembering something, Sunwoo's mother suddenly said to Ms. Leopard, "You didn't know that your Jung-hwan was cornered by some thugs a couple of days ago?"

Ms. Leopard was smiling when she heard Sunwoo's mother's question. Her smile vanished, and she said, "What?"

"You didn't know, did you? I knew you didn't know!" Sunwoo's mother continued, "Jung-hwan was robbed of his money, and he almost lost his sneakers too. Luckily, Seo-woo chased the thugs away."

"Oh dear, Jung-hwan almost got into serious trouble! Is he alright? Is he hurt?" Paula's mother asked with concern.

"Everyone's alright. According to Shanyu, it was Shuyu who chased the thugs away," Shanyu's mother continued.

The leopard lady stood to the side, seemingly deep in thought; it was impossible to know what she was thinking.

"Wow, Shuyu is such a good boy! I never expected him to be so amazing," Paula's mother exclaimed.

“Our Jung-hwan didn’t tell Mom because he was afraid she would worry! Big sister is fine! It’s good that she’s not hurt.” Sun-woo’s mother quickly comforted Leopard Lady when she saw her head down in thought.

"Oh dear, speak of the devil, and he appears!"

Following Sunwoo's mother's gaze, Jung-hwan was walking towards the alley. When he saw his mother and the two aunts, he bowed slightly, said hello, and went back.

The leopard lady looked at him and at her feet.

The new shoes were still there, but no matter how she looked at them, they were jarring to her eyes. A sense of melancholy seemed to fill her heart, making her feel uneasy.

......

night.

Jung-hwan's house.

Ms. Leopard sat at the dining table with her eyes closed.

At dinner time, Jung-hwan and Jung-bong came over. Seeing that the table was empty, Jung-bong asked, "Mom, didn't you cook?"

“Dad said he’ll buy two whole fried chickens,” Ms. Leopard said expressionlessly, her eyes downcast.

"YES," Zhengfeng said happily, clenching his fist.

After saying that, Zhengfeng, driven by his collecting desires, picked up the name book and started searching through it.

Jung-hwan looked at his older brother and said helplessly, "Without 'whole fried chicken,' who would name their dish 'whole fried chicken'?"

"Little brother, I'm not looking for 'whole fried chicken,' I'm looking for 'two.' I'm looking for someone named 'two'!"

Jung-hwan, on the other hand, looked defeated and sat there blankly.

Zhengfeng heard a noise coming from the courtyard outside, and after a moment of confusion, he went out to check.

At the dining table, Ms. Leopard, with her eyes closed, took a breath and called out, "Jung-hwan."

Jung-hwan, who was resting with his eyes closed, replied, "Mm."

Ms. Leopard didn't continue speaking, but looked at Jung-hwan, unsure of what to say.

Seeing that his mother didn't ask any more questions, Jung-hwan opened his eyes, looked at his mother who was looking at him, and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"

Ms. Leopard: "Nothing much has happened lately, has anything?"

Jung-hwan looked at Ms. Leopard, said nothing, and just nodded to indicate that everything was alright.

Seeing this, Ms. Leopard seemed to resign herself to her fate and nodded heavily twice.

Never before had Ms. Leopard felt such a strong urge to ask her son why he never told her anything, even though she was his mother!

But when she saw her child nod without speaking, she held back. Just as she said, her child had grown up and should have his own space and privacy. She didn't want to force him to know. Although she was disappointed, she still refrained from asking any further questions.

Just as the atmosphere was unusually calm, Zhengfeng said, "Dad's back," and happily sat down at the dining table.

The playful father, Mr. Kim, happily raised his hand and shouted, "Aigoo, President Luo (Oh, Mr. Luo)!"

Seeing that his wife didn't respond, he continued with a smile, "You have to call me President Kim."

Ms. Leopard gritted her teeth, looked at her childish husband, and said with exasperation, "I'll divorce you! Do you believe me?"

Feeling incredibly embarrassed, Mr. Jin quickly seized the opportunity to stretch out his arm and do two waist exercises...

A sheep's awkward bleating cuts through the screen...

Outside Jung-hwan's house, Deok-sun, who had returned home, was holding up a sign and training hard.

"Aigoo, President Sung!" Mr. Kim happily waved to Deok-sun and quickly walked up to her.

"Aigoo, President Kim!" Deok-sun happily greeted him, just like her father.

"It's so nice to see you! So nice! So nice!" The two clasped hands, squatted down repeatedly, and shouted in unison.

Only Deok-sun can perfectly match Kim's unique way of greeting people!

The two, working in perfect harmony, exchanged a smile.

"Deok-sun, you're the best!" Mr. Kim looked at his most compatible friend despite the age gap and raised the whole fried chicken in his hand.

"Is it a whole fried chicken?" Deok-sun asked happily.

"Yes, you must eat the chicken leg, don't give it to anyone else, understand?" Mr. Kim was aware of the favoritism in Deok-sun's family, but as their neighbor for many years, he couldn't say it out loud. Even if he did, it wouldn't change much given Deok-sun's family's current situation, and would only cause more trouble. So he could only show more concern for Deok-sun, his close friend despite the age gap.

Deok-sun nodded happily and quickly when she heard Mr. Kim's concern.

......

At Deok-sun's house, the family is sitting together watching the Olympic Games coverage.

"Heo Jae, it must be Heo Jae!" While discussing who the last torchbearer of the Olympics would be, Bora's mother tore off a chicken leg from the fried chicken and handed it to Bora under Deok-sun's drooling gaze.

"Who cares who he is? What's it to us?" Paula replied, glancing at the chicken leg before casually taking it.

"Don't you read the reports? Xu Zai has already been selected as the athlete representative and has taken the oath on behalf of the athletes," Paula's father replied expressionlessly, his eyes fixed on the fried chicken.

"is it?"

Paula's mom tore off another chicken leg and, under the watchful eyes of Deok-sun and Paula's dad, handed it to Yu-hui.

Paula's dad was talking about the Olympic torchbearers when his wicked hand reached for the fried chicken. Just as he tore off a chicken wing and was about to put it in his mouth, Paula's mom grabbed his hand and looked at him, saying...

"Don't eat chicken wings, you'll cheat on me!"

"Deok-sun, here you go!" Bora's mother turned around and handed Deok-sun a piece of food with a smile.

Feeling a little disappointed for not getting the chicken leg, Deok-sun took the chicken wing, her expression unchanged, lost in thought.

“I don’t like chicken, you guys eat more!” Paula’s mom said with a smile.

Perhaps all mothers are the same; in front of their children, they always become picky eaters, disliking this and that, leaving the children to eat them "forced" to.
