Chapter Twenty-Six: Sister
After a while, Han Chenghao came to the vicinity of Hongdae, casually asked pedestrians on the side of the road, and knew where Citibank was, and dragged his suitcase towards his destination.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" A staff member in a Citibank uniform hurriedly came up and asked
"Well, I just came back from the United States, and I want to exchange it for Korean won, and I can get a few more passbooks."
South Korea's passbook is more convenient, whether it is to withdraw money or transfer is very convenient, the passbook can not only be used in the public payment system, such as water bills, electricity bills or something, directly put in the machine, deduct it.
Another reason is that Koreans like to have several passbooks, and they can read the number on the passbook, and if they have nothing to do, they will often turn it out, not only to check their income at any time, but also to feel a sense of self-satisfaction.
"Okay, please come here and fill in the information, and give me your bank card." When the waiter heard that he had returned from the United States, he was immediately enthusiastic.
took the card, swiped it gently, the waiter covered his mouth in surprise, the man in front of him who looked only thirty years old, his net worth was so rich, could it be the legendary golden beetle son-in-law, the cash of the bank card alone reached more than 13 million US dollars, it was US dollars, not Korean won, according to the current exchange rate, nearly 12.3 billion.
Although I have heard a lot of stories about rich people, and my colleagues around me are also well married, and it is said that my husband is very rich, but when I see people in reality, I can't help but cover my mouth in surprise. After calming down a little, they rubbed their eyes lightly, and after confirming that they were not mistaken, they immediately returned to their original state, which is their professionalism, and said with a slight smile.
"Sir, how many won do you need to exchange?"
Han Chenghao thought about it, he hadn't come back for seven years, he had parents at home, and if he bought them a house, he probably wouldn't be willing to leave home, after all, he had lived for so many years and was used to it, and Jiangxi District was very suitable for the elderly, so there was no need to impose it on them.
It's not convenient to live with yourself, and if you want to be with Daojun, you can't reveal anything, maybe Daojun will be angry. After thinking about it, I decided to make a passbook of a common account for the two old people, so that they will also have security for the elderly in the future, and they don't need to worry about it, just go back often to see, anyway, it's only an hour to drive.
As for the elder brother and sister and the younger brother, everyone can get a passbook, and give them dollars to pay, after all, prices are soaring now, and the won often depreciates.
Han Sung-ho and Kim Do-jun have been together for a really long time, not only do they understand some of Kim Do-jun's little habits, but they are also gradually like him, always like to touch their noses and temples when they are thinking.
The waiter of Citibank looked at Han Chenghao, with a look of envy, secretly turned his head, took out a mirror from the drawer and took a look at it, managing his image, at this time, you can't drop the chain, it's not good to leave a bad impression.
"Hello, help me exchange a million US dollars, exchange it for Korean won, this money will help me open a joint account, I will write your name to you, use my ID card, I will guide the agent, and help me open three more passbooks, each passbook will be remitted to one million US dollars, or written in my name, thank you."
After speaking, he took a pen and paper, and wrote his name on it.
After about half an hour, Han Chenghao walked out of the bank, while pulling the suitcase, holding a few brand-new passbooks in his hand, shaking it gently, putting it to his mouth and blowing it, he put it directly in the backpack, looked at the time, it was almost time for his sister to get off work, it was time to pick her up, and later beckoned to get in the car and go to the hospital.
"Sister, are you off work? Let's go, let's go back to dinner, I'm starving, I really want to eat my sister's cooking. Han Chenghao watched his sister come out of work, and hurriedly greeted him, smiling.
"You, you're so old, and you like to eat so much, and you don't want to find me a brother and daughter-in-law, you're not too young, and you haven't brought a girlfriend back after going out for so many years, next time you see you, you have to bring a girlfriend to your sister, otherwise your sister will arrange for you to participate in the party."
Han Chenghao's sister grabbed Han Chenghao's arm and pretended to twist it hard.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, okay, I know, I'll do it as soon as possible, fighting, sister, how are we going back, did you drive?"
Han Chenghao pretended to look at his sister with a painful expression, at this time, he needed to cooperate with the tacit understanding and end this conversation quickly, otherwise his sister would die of verbosity.
"I didn't drive, let's take the subway back, it's not far from the subway entrance, let's walk over." After speaking, he helped Han Chenghao pull the suitcase and prepared to walk towards the subway entrance.
"Sister, what's the matter with you, didn't your brother-in-law buy you a car at work? When you sent a text message at that time, didn't you tell me how good your brother-in-law was to you, the family conditions were good, and what happened now. ”
Han Chenghao knew that his sister was wrong when he heard it, and now every Korean family basically has a car, even if it is domestic, not to mention what his sister said to him at the time, it is completely different from now, although his sister is only one year older than him, but he has taken care of himself like his mother since he was a child, and his relationship is very good.
"Cheng Hao, don't talk about it, let's go back, my sister will tell you when I have time."
As soon as he saw his sister like this, Han Chenghao knew that there must be some reasons in it, and he was even more anxious, it was estimated that most of them were his brother-in-law who he had never met, and it seemed that he had to get to know this brother-in-law well.
"Okay, I know, let's stop taking the subway, let's take a taxi, it's not inconvenient for me to have luggage." Han Chenghao looked at his suitcase and shook his head and said.
"The place where I live is a little far away, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to take a taxi, you just came back, don't spend money casually, now the job is not like before, it is not so easy to find, your sister and I are still envious of this job!" Han Chenghao looked at his sister and said with a smug expression.
"Okay, I'll pay, you just tell the driver the address, let's go." Pulled my sister and beckoned a taxi to get in, because it was the time to get off work, many taxis came to squat in advance, this is a place where large enterprises are concentrated, and the crowd is more concentrated, so business is easier to do.
After getting on the bus, Han Chenghao was a little tired, and fell asleep unconsciously without saying a few words, and when his sister woke up, he found that he had arrived, and when he heard the fare of more than 50,000 won, he was a little surprised, it seems that it is indeed a little far, nearly an hour, it is almost the same as Incheon Airport to Seoul, if you take the subway, it is still very fast.
After paying the fare, I pulled my suitcase and followed my sister home.
My sister married here three or four years ago, and she still lives with her brother-in-law's family, so there are a lot of inconvenient places, even if you move out now, because the children and the rent in Seoul city are too expensive, I can't afford to hire a nanny and aunt, no one takes care of the children, and the housing prices are high, so I can't afford to pay for the building with my own income alone, let alone my husband! After thinking about it for a long time, I sighed, and I couldn't say how I felt.
"Sister, where do you live with your brother-in-law?" Han Chenghao looked at the surrounding environment, frowned and asked.
"Here, Hajeong-dong, Mapo-gu, although it doesn't look very good, but fortunately, the traffic is relatively convenient."
Han Chenghao's sister also knows that her younger brother has just returned from the United States, and she will definitely be a little surprised to see such an environment, which is completely different from what she said in the text message, but what can be done? That's life.
After walking for a while, I went to my sister's house, and when I saw the outside, my complexion eased slightly, a small two-story building that looked very beautiful, it should not be decorated for a long time from the outside, it looks very new, it is estimated that it was renovated when I got married, and there is a small garden inside, planted with some simple vegetables, a bit like the taste of my own home, and the memories of my childhood suddenly emerged from Han Chenghao's mind.
Thinking that he hadn't returned to his home for several years, Han Chenghao's thoughts didn't know where to go.
"Cheng Hao, come in, what are you doing standing outside, let's go, I'll introduce you to my mother-in-law." As he spoke, he pulled Han Chenghao and the two of them in.
After meeting with my sister's mother-in-law, after saying hello, I looked at it a little, and an old man who looked very kind, squinted at himself, always with a smile on his face, and grabbed his hand from time to time to ask about his situation, and seemed very enthusiastic.
It seems that my sister's mother-in-law treats her well, the two of them talk and laugh, and as soon as they heard that they were eating here at night, they went directly into the kitchen with their sister and threw themselves alone in the living room.
In Korea, men need to shoulder the responsibility of supporting their families, so the pressure is relatively high, and generally after coming back, men never go into the kitchen, if a man works in the kitchen, it will be considered a very serious thing, even if it is to cook a simple bowl of ramen, that is what the wife should do, it can be said that the kitchen is a forbidden place for the husband.
"Mom, who's coming?" Suddenly, a little bit came out of the room, as if he had just woken up, still swaying, yawning and rubbing his eyes, about two or three years old, talking a little slurred, leaning against the door.
"Minjun, you're up, call your uncle, your uncle has just come back from a long way away." As soon as Han Chenghao's sister came out of the kitchen, she saw her baby son coming out of the room, looking sleepy, and suddenly thought that this was the first time her son had met his uncle, so she hurriedly asked him to call someone.
Han Chenghao has a total of one elder brother, one sister and one younger brother, whose names are Hee, Mei, Hao, and Yu, except that after the elder brother is five years older than himself, the elder sister is only one year older than himself, and the youngest brother is also three years younger than himself, except for the eldest brother and sister who are already married, that is, the younger brother and himself are not married.
I heard that my brother is a teacher in a middle school, and his wife is also a middle school teacher, so his life is relatively good, compared to other jobs, the job of a teacher in South Korea is not only high and respected, but also has a relatively high income, and his life is generally relatively wealthy, so it is unlikely that there will be more embarrassing times.
My younger brother heard that he was about to graduate from graduate school, and he was still a graduate student of the Department of Law of Dongguk University, and now he has gone to military service, and it seems that this younger brother is still the most skilled one in his family, unlike himself, he has not studied seriously since he went to school, and he is fooling around outside every day, otherwise how can he go to military service too early, so that after leaving the army, he has no skills, and can only go to the mixed club.
Thinking of the past, I secretly laughed in my heart, which is also worthy of life, compared with the present, it is a world of difference, and now is the real life.
No matter so much, he shook his head slightly, eliminated the cluttered thoughts in his head, and looked at his little nephew.
The little nephew looked a little shy, put his fingers in his mouth and sucked, leaned against the door, and looked at Han Chenghao with his eyes wide open.
"I'm an alien, I'm coming to get you." Han Chenghao squeezed his eyebrows, the expressions on his face twitched together, and he walked over with his teeth and claws, like a dinosaur.
"Ah, Mom." As soon as Xiao Minjun saw this, he hurriedly ran into his mother's arms, and his little head shrank directly into it, no longer looking at Han Chenghao.
"Am I so scary, sister, even my nephew is afraid of me, hehe, is it too similar." Han Chenghao scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Okay, Minjun, that's your uncle, I'm teasing you, go over, play with my uncle, my mother is going to cook." Han Chengmei squatted down and said against Minjun's little face.
"Alright then, I see." The little guy muttered and looked a little naughty and dissatisfied, walked up to Han Chenghao, saluted respectfully, and said, "Hello uncle." ”
Xiao Budian has grown up slowly and knows a little politeness, so the family loves him more.
"Our family's people are so well-behaved, come over and let my uncle hug him." Han Sung-ho stretched out his hands and motioned for Minjun to come into his arms.
To be honest, I never asked my sister if she had any children, as soon as Xiao Minjun came out just now, I knew that it was my sister's child by looking at his appearance, and it was really carved out of a mold.
I was too in a hurry when I came, and I didn't buy a gift for my nephew, I hope my sister won't be angry, and I will go back and make up for my sister and my little nephew.
The two uncles and nephews kept playing on the sofa, and Han Chenghao kept teasing Xiao Minjun and laughing at him.
Suddenly, a low voice came from outside: "I'm back." ”
