Chapter 13 About, the Future
"Are you sleepy, just sleep for a while, I'll call you when you get there." ”
Sitting in a somewhat rickety minibus, Kim Taeyeon felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and her mind became foggy.
Li Kong's voice seemed to float from the somewhat dark carriage.
Nodding unconsciously, the girl fell into a deep sleep.
Li Kong carefully lowered the left half of his body, so as not to feel uncomfortable for the girl who subconsciously put her head on her shoulder.
Exhaled softly, looking at the three people in the back row who were sleeping like piglets, Li Kong smiled silently.
This afternoon, the three of them were playing in the water again, running around the mountains and making trouble, and finally walked to the station on foot, and after getting on the train, they all collapsed on their seats tiredly.
"You have to thank me for refusing to go crazy with you, otherwise who will guard you now?
Lee Kong smoothed Kim Tae-yeon's hair that fell on her cheeks and muttered to herself.
When I turned my head, the sky cut out of the window was red, the color of the sunset.
A small river flowed slowly through the window, the water sparkling, and flocks of waterfowl swept across the water, flying comfortably into the distance.
"Hmm...... It's beautiful, dandelion......"
The girl's soft whisper rang in her ears.
Lee Kong looked at Kim Tae-yeon's closed eyes, the little guy was still talking in his sleep......
"Arrive at the station ahead, Jeonju East Station ......"
The car was about to enter the station, and Li Kong gently woke up the sleeping Kim Taeyeon, looking at the girl's still somewhat misty eyes, as well as her subconsciously slightly open mouth slightly sluggish expression.
Li Kong couldn't help but reach out and pinch her fleshy face.
"Let's go, it's time to get off. ”
Helping Kim Taeyeon up, Lee Seung-hoon pointed to the bus terminal outside the car and said to her with a smile.
But it was in exchange for Kim Taeyeon's eyes.
After Taeyeon got out of the car, Li Kong turned around and gave Pei Yongshang and Jin Zhiyong, who were sleeping tightly together at this time, each with a kick.
In the end, in the driver's eyes full of meaning, Pei Yongshang and Jin Zhiyong got out of the car in embarrassment.
"What's going on, what's going on with the two of them?"
Kim Taeyeon looked at Bae Yongsang and Kim Ji-yong looking at each other resentfully, pulled the corner of Lee Seung-hoon's clothes, and asked curiously.
"Oh, they...... I've slept under the noses of a carload of people until now~"
Li Kong touched his chin and said funny.
"Mo?, two men...... Huh~~~"
Taeyeon hugged her shoulders and looked at her brother with a look of disgust.
"Okay, okay, it's not too early, Taeyeon, and Ji-yong, I have to send you home quickly, and I promised Auntie when I came out. ”
Seeing that Pei Yongshang was about to complain again, Li Kong hurriedly diverted the topic.
He and the fat man sent the Kim Taeyeon brothers and sisters back to the optical store, and after repeated thanks and invitations from Kim Mother and Kim Father, and promised them that they would definitely come as guests when they had time in the future, Lee Kong and Bae Yong Shang saluted and said goodbye to Kim Tae-yeon's family.
Separated from Pei Yongshang at an alleyway, Li Kong also quickly walked back home.
I took out the key and opened the door, and as soon as I entered the room, I saw stacks of ingredients on the table in the living room, neatly cut pork belly, Korean beef, sashimi, plenty of mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and soybean leaves and lettuce used to wrap the meat.
A small stove and baking tray are placed in the middle of the table, next to which are oil, sauce, brush and scissors.
There were a lot of other bottles and jars on the table.
"Wow~ I feel like my saliva is about to come out, how long will we have to eat?"
Kim Sung-mi leaned out of the kitchen, and at the moment she was holding a handful of peeled shallots in her hand, probably making some seasonings.
"Xiaokong is back, go wash your hands, go to the bedroom and call your lazy Abba out, finally take a day off, and know how to sleep!"
Shaking the water on the shallots, Kim Sung-mi walked into the kitchen as she spoke.
Li Kong went into the bathroom, washed his face, took off his clothes and wiped the sweat on his body, walked into his parents' bedroom and woke up the sleeping Abba, and he went back to his room.
After changing his clothes, Li Kong came to the living room, and his grandmother had already set up the baking tray, and the bottom of the tray was brushed with a layer of oil, making a sizzling sound.
Li Kong hurriedly sat cross-legged at the table.
The pork belly and beef were put into the baking tray by Grandma piece by piece, and with a sound of pulling, a trace of white smoke came out of the plate, and the moisture in the meat was steaming rapidly. The thin slices of meat slowly turn brown and roll up slightly.
Greedily took a sip of the increasingly rich aroma of meat on the plate, and a satisfied smile appeared on Li Kong's face amid Jin Chengmei's strange voice.
It's time to eat~
I took a piece of pork belly and ate it in a big bite.
The hot slices of meat flipped between the tongues, and the rich aroma of the sauce and meat exploded in his mouth, and Li Yongguo sighed and gave a thumbs up to Kim Sung-mi.
"Masida! (delicious)".
Li Kong passed over a glass of warm water funny, Abba is really like a child sometimes, obviously very hot but unwilling to spit out the meat in his mouth, his tongue keeps flipping, and his mouth keeps breathing.
"Eat slowly, no one is robbing you, really!"
Kim Sung-mi slapped Lee Yong-guk's hand away with chopsticks and looked at him angrily.
The smoke from the barbecue was in the living room, and Li Kong smiled and looked at his father who was playing treasure in front of him and his mother, who was a little nagging, and his heart was infinitely emotional.
The life I had been looking forward to in that "dream" was just like this.
There is nothing more drastic and magical than this......
"Sora. ”
"Hmm...... Huh?"
"What do you think, so obsessed. ”
Kim Sung-mi looked at her youngest son curiously.
"Oh, nothing. ”
Li Kong touched his nose, I can't say that I'm thinking about life......
"Did you just ask me something?"
"Ah, yes, your father was just asking you if you were going to go to high school, and seeing that you were about to enter the third year of junior high school, we thought it was time to discuss this matter with you. ”
Jin Chengmei put down her chopsticks and looked at Li Kong seriously, she actually wanted to know what Li Kong's answer was, after all, he was the youngest son, and he didn't feel at ease if he went too far, alas......
"Oh ~ this ......"
Li Kong took a sip of water from his cup and thought for a moment.
"If I could, I would still like to go to high school in Jeonju. ”
Li Kong had already thought about this question before, how to say it, he felt that he didn't have to "pursue" too much about the choice of high school.
Although there is a big gap between Seoul and Jeonju in terms of economy and education, Lee, who has a full high school experience, feels that the effectiveness of high school learning depends largely on the individual.
For him, it doesn't make much sense to go to Seoul to study, although his brother is studying in Seoul, and he is not afraid that no one will take care of him when he goes to Seoul to study.
But if the two sons are not around, although the parents say that it doesn't matter, they will definitely have a lot more worries in their hearts.
Li Kong didn't want to do this, so he had already made a decision before, and he would stay in Jeonju in high school.
After listening to what Li Kong said, Li Rongguo hugged Jin Chengmei, who was a little happy and a little reluctant, and looked very hesitant.
"Wuli Akongdu is 14 years old, he has learned to think for himself, and we just respect his choice. ”
After speaking, he winked at Kim Sung-mi again.
"Besides, look at it, look at his changes these days, the food he cooks is as delicious as yours, you see how clever he is, how much like me, he will definitely not let himself suffer!"
"you, you haven't been in shape for a day!"
was interrupted by Li Rongguo like this, Jin Chengmei didn't hesitate so much, pushed him away with a smile, and looked at Li Kong.
"Xiaokong, it's up to you, since you've thought about it, then you won't go to Seoul, but you can't be sloppy in high school study, you know?"
"***, I know, Mom. ”
Li Kong hurriedly nodded in assurance.
After the topic was revealed, the family happily enjoyed the dinner time, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
After eating, Li Kong and his mother cleaned up the table and chopsticks together, and went to bed early to rest.
Although he didn't play crazy with Kim Taeyeon and them in the afternoon, because of some motion sickness, Lee Kong also felt very tired at the moment.
Li Kong, who had a rough plan for the future and put down a stone in his heart, fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
With a window of moonlight and the chirping of cicadas, he slept soundly and sweetly tonight......
