Chapter 24: Returning Home (3)

The family sat down around the dining table in turn, Kim Do-jun looked at the table full of delicacies, and suddenly remembered the previous time, it felt like yesterday, so real, as if he could reach out and touch, the dishes on the table were all his favorites, and they didn't change at all, looking at his parents and sister sitting together, it was indescribably warm.

Carefully filled a spoonful of kelp soup with a spoon, gently put it to the mouth and blew, the kelp soup just out of the pot is a little hot, if you don't pay attention, it will burn your tongue, lower your head and taste it slowly.

Sure enough, it's still the taste of home, or the taste of my mother's cooking, this is the family meal.

Kim Do-joon tasted the taste of enjoyment on his face, this is the kelp soup made by his mother, even if he has eaten it outside, it is more or less different from this taste, when I used to work in a Chinese restaurant, I also liked kelp soup, but there are more or less differences between Chinese food and Korean food, whether it is the method and the use of ingredients and condiments, there are obvious differences.

"Do-joon, what's wrong, doesn't it taste to your taste?" Mother Kim asked cautiously, seeing Daojun sitting there motionless, and thought that the taste she made was not suitable for Daojun!

A few years have passed, who knows what Kim Do-joon's taste is now, after all, he liked kelp soup nine years ago, and now he has been living in the United States, so he should have adapted to the American diet! It's impossible to like the same food all the time you always have.

"No, I'm savoring the taste of the food carefully, I haven't eaten the kelp soup made by my mother for a long time, and I haven't eaten it alone outside, even if I have a birthday, it's the same as usual, so I remembered when I was a child for a while, thank you Mom, it's delicious, I like it very much." As he spoke, Dojoon began to gulp down.

Father Jin looked at Daojun and nodded with a smile, his son has not changed.

The family ended the dinner in a pleasant atmosphere.

The little guy has been playing with those gifts, trying to take them for himself, and has been pestering Mother Jin, and finally Mother Jin has no choice but to surrender and give the bottle of expensive perfume to Huiyuan.

Kim Do-joon doesn't know, South Korea is different from the United States, in the United States, many women wear vests and slippers to go out shopping, or go to the supermarket to shop, but in South Korea, everyone, especially women, has a love of beauty, or even more serious, basically there is no one who goes out without makeup, this is not only disrespectful to others, because it does not show a perfect side, it is also irresponsible for yourself, if you don't wear makeup, you generally don't go out, so the Korean people have always been very sought after for fashion trends, Not to mention foreign luxury goods such as cosmetics and perfumes, although Huiyuan is young, she gradually understands these things, so after seeing her brother buy them for her mother, she will want to grab them and become her own.

After the meal, Mother Jin and Hui Yuan went to the kitchen to wash and tidy up the kitchen, leaving only Jin Daojun and Father Jin in the living room

"Daojun, you're back today, Dad has a few questions for you, is that okay?"

"Yes, Dad, if you have any questions, I'll answer them well." Kim Do-jun turned his head to look at Daddy Kim and replied sincerely.

"Now that you have graduated from university, are you going to find a job in South Korea, or continue to go abroad to develop and go to multinational companies, now South Korea's economic development is also relatively fast, and there are more good job opportunities, just by virtue of your graduation from Yale University, and it is the first place, I think you can at least enter Samsung, LG and other big groups, do you have any ideas, tell me?" Daddy Jin leaned sideways and said slowly.

Jin Daojun listened to what Dad Jin said, his brows suddenly tightened, and his left hand involuntarily touched his temple and began to think.

"Dad, is it intentional, when I graduated at that time, I made a promise with my father that if I could obtain the qualification to study in the United States as the first in elementary school, and be admitted to an American university in the future, I would allow myself to realize my dream and become a singer, and no longer care about me, but now it seems that I didn't mention it at all, did I forget it on purpose."

Kim Do-joon thought for a long time and finally said

"Dad, I don't want to work in these chaebol groups yet, if I want to work, I won't go back to South Korea, there are so many job opportunities in the United States, the environment is good, and the income is high, why bother to go far? And Dad, I wonder if you've forgotten something. ”

"What's the matter, I've forgotten something." Dad Kim was a little confused, Daojun said that he forgot something, and he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, but it was too long for him to remember anything.

"Didn't we make a pact at that time? If I can go to the United States and be admitted to a university in the United States, you have no objection to me becoming a singer, this is my dream, I want to realize him, please support me and understand me. ”

After speaking, Kim Do-jun stood up, bowed his head slightly in front of his father, and bowed.

Dad Kim was obviously shocked by what Kim Daojun said just now, and what Daojun said just now woke him up all of a sudden, and the things he had been forgetting suddenly popped out of the depths of his mind.

At that time, I said this sentence just to perfunctory him, let him study hard, be admitted to the qualification to study in the United States, and then be admitted to university, and find a good job in the future, which is responsible for himself and his life, I didn't think about it so much at the time, but I didn't expect Daojun to bring it up directly now, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassing.

Dad Jin thought about it, but he still had to convince Daojun, and then said: "Daojun, I know that your dream now is to be a singer, but you have achieved such good grades now, and your school is good, why don't you go to work in a big company, not only has a lot of income, but also has a high social status, and you can also get an excellent wife in the future, why do you want to be a star, can you compare the two?" ”

"Dad, I have grown up and will soon be an adult, I hope you respect our agreement at the beginning, it is impossible to give up what I decided, unless one day I am really tired of it, I will not take the initiative to give up this dream."

Kim Dojun said solemnly, this is not only about his dreams, but also about his future direction, nine years of perseverance, not to give up overnight.

Dad Kim couldn't convince Kim Do-jun at first glance, he knew that his son had always been very introverted and quiet, but he had always been very assertive and would never change what he decided, what should he do? His mind began to work at high speed to see if he could come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, and after a while, Daddy Jin finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, so he spoke.

"Daojun, since you insist on it like this, and you don't object to being a father, then let's make three chapters of the law, if you agree, then Dad agrees with you to be a singer, and he won't care about you, what do you think.

When Kim Do-jun heard this, his father finally compromised, although there were three chapters of the covenant, he promised to come down first, anyway, he was in Seoul, and it was impossible to come back often, so it would be difficult to say when the time came.

"Dad, you say, I'll listen!" Once agreed, Kim Do-joon, visibly relaxed, leaned back on the couch and listened carefully.

Dad Kim tidied up a little and said: "First, you must serve in the military before the age of twenty-eight, this is the latest time, and it is not allowed to be pushed back, military service is what every man in the Republic of Korea should do, and so should you." The second point is that if you go to be a singer and you don't win an award before the age of twenty-five, then you have to come back obediently, retire from the singer, and go to work honestly, do you hear? The third point, without the approval of me and your mother, you are not allowed to fall in love, if you really like a girl and want to spend your life with her, bring her back, let's see, just these three points, can you see it, if you accept, we will agree with you to be a singer. As he spoke, Dad Jin found a pen and paper, and wrote everything down.

Jin Daojun touched his nose and began to seriously think about what Dad Jin said, indeed he always thinks about it too simply, although he went to study in the United States, he has not obtained the right of residence, although it seems that this matter is relatively simple now, but if it breaks out in the future, he is not good, and there is no way to serve in the military, it is just a matter of time. Military service in South Korea is a very serious topic, especially for artists, if a scandal breaks out, it will not only cause disgust among the people, but also basically lose the qualification in the entertainment industry, so you don't have to think about it yourself, you will definitely serve in the military honestly, and only after military service in South Korea will you be called a real man.

As for the topic of the partner, this is really not a problem, although South Korea seems to be a country with very serious machismo, there are many problems between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and South Korea's mother-in-law is notoriously strict in choosing her daughter-in-law, not only looking at appearance, education, family background, character, etc., but also what the woman's ancestors do in the family are very careful, which is also the reason why conflicts often occur.

But for Kim Do-jun, there is no problem, the family is not a chaebol, just an ordinary person, as long as he likes it, there is nothing that can't be done, as long as he is willing, then it is okay, and the bad will become good, will the parents still do it against him, obviously it is impossible, at most, I hope that I can find a wife who is both beautiful and kind and virtuous.

"OK, Dad, I've agreed, I'll sign it." After saying that, he signed his name on the contract, and finally got a big thing in his heart, and his mood suddenly became comfortable. At this time, Huiyuan and Jin's mother also walked out of the kitchen, came to the living room, and saw the contract on the coffee table, and immediately picked it up and looked at it.

"Brother, are you really going to be a singer? Isn't the status of a singer very low? Wouldn't it be better to be an actor? Jin Huiyuan asked curiously.

"Ah, you think you can do whatever you want, whether you can be a singer or not, okay, don't worry so much, study hard, I'm about to take the high school exam, where are you going to go to high school." Kim Do-jun looked at this Hye-won's ponytail and touched it curiously.

"Brother, are you still waiting for you to ask, I have been admitted to the Wonju High School Girls' School in Gangwon Province, and I have to go as soon as school starts." As he spoke, he slapped Kim Do-jun's hand and signaled him not to touch his hair.

"I see, our family Huiyuan is going to the girls' school, I heard that the girls' school is a place where there are beautiful women, and our family Huiyuan will definitely not be taken seriously if she goes." After saying that, he laughed out loud.

Jin Huiyuan immediately went up and kicked like an angry wild horse, and the two of them chased after each other, because Jin Daojun was wearing a vest, so in the fight, his clothes were always accidentally picked up, and suddenly Daddy Kim's eyes looked directly at Daojun like a blade, his snort was aggravated, and he looked very unhappy, and asked.

"Do-joon, what's going on with you."
