Chapter 213 New Neighbors
"we are coming!"
Deok-sun took the lead and dragged Soo-kyung in.
"Oh my, is this Yu Hui's girlfriend?"
"Your name is Xiujing, right?"
"Oh my, Yu Hui is truly blessed!"
Sun-young, who is always cheerful, praised him generously, which made Soo-kyung feel her enthusiasm and feel flattered.
"Hello~ Thank you for your help~", Sister Xiujing greeted politely with her head bowed.
"It's alright, it's alright, Deok-sun, take Soo-kyung and your sister inside and have a seat."
Sun-young quickly greeted them.
"Auntie~"
Shuyu greeted him.
"Shuyu, hurry up, we've been waiting for you," Shanying said with a smile.
"Mom, Taek's here," Sunwoo said, leading Taek through the door.
"Ah Ze, we've been waiting for you! Oh dear, I called a long time ago, why are you so late?"
Sun-young stood behind them, closed the courtyard gate, and pushed the two of them into the living room.
"Hurry inside, it's freezing outside!"
"Seriously, Taek looks about the same height as Sunwoo."
Sun-young looked at the two of them from behind and said with a smile.
"Oh, hello, is this your son?"
"You two are both very handsome. I thought you were brothers."
Soo-kyung politely praised Choi Moo-sung.
"Oh my, Soo-kyung unnie is so good at talking~ Hahaha~~"
Sunyoung smiled as she looked at the happy group of people gathered together. When she saw Taek sitting next to Sunwoo, she suddenly remembered what Sookyung had said.
"Two brothers..."
"son......."
She subconsciously looked at Cui Wusheng, who also turned to look at her.
The two of them subconsciously exchanged a glance.
However, after only a moment, Sun-young quickly looked away.
Sun-young: No way, does that mean you're destined to have a son?
She wouldn't normally have these thoughts, but after the fortune teller's words, Sun-young started to think about Jung-bong in a way that made her feel the same way Ra Mi-ran did.
Sun-young, lost in thought at the dinner table, forgot to take the pearl from Choi Moo-sung's arms.
"Um, sister, when is Yu Hui coming back from his trip to the countryside?"
During the meal, Soo-kyung turned her head and asked Deok-sun a question.
"Oh my~ Soo-kyung, are you missing Yu-hui?"
Deok-sun looked at her with a smile.
Soo-kyung pursed her lips, smiled, and nodded.
"I'll be back after the New Year. If you're in a hurry, Shuyu can drive you down."
Deok-sun said jokingly.
Xiujing shook her head shyly in refusal.
“Um… Sister Xiujing,” Liu Shuyu suddenly called out.
"Oh?" Soo-kyung replied, puzzled.
"I heard from Deok-sun that you're studying hairdressing?" Liu Shuyu asked, looking at her.
"Oh, yes, I'm still an apprentice, and I have a long way to go in my studies."
Soo-kyung replied modestly.
"Here's the thing, I'm planning to open a hair salon in the alley."
"Could we hire you to be the store manager and oversee the hair salon business?"
"Don't worry, I'll provide you with free accommodation here."
After Liu Shuyu finished speaking, everyone at the table put down their chopsticks.
Soo-kyung's eyes lit up instantly, as if they were shining, as she looked at her sister.
"Um... I can't do it. I'm just an apprentice. I'm afraid I won't do it well," Sister Xiujing hesitated for a long time before waving her hand in refusal.
The light in Soo-kyung's eyes dimmed.
"Oh, it's okay, I work at Shuyu's shop too~"
"Shuyu is a very good person, don't worry."
"I'll have to start working eventually; I can't be an apprentice forever."
With just one glance, Shanying understood Shuyu's intentions and purpose, and quickly chimed in to persuade him.
After chatting with her friends and learning about the story of the Soo-kyung sisters, she greatly admired Soo-kyung. After their parents passed away, she had to work hard to support her younger sister who was still in school.
Compared to her, I seem to be much happier, at least I have a large group of neighbors helping me.
And if it weren't for the fact that Soo-kyung and Deok-sun got into a fight, and that's how she and Deok-sun's family became acquainted through that fight...
It's unlikely that Soo-kyung will be able to return to a normal life anytime soon.
During that time, Sung Dong-il would often visit the sisters when he had nothing to do. However, Deok-sun's family also lived in a semi-basement, so there wasn't much he could do to help, though he would still show concern.
It was just simple concern, but it made Soo-kyung and her sister cherish it even more.
"Yes, you brought your sister here to work, so Soo-kyung can go to school with Deok-sun and the others in the future."
“If there are any problems, the neighbors can help out. Sunwoo’s mom, Deoksun’s mom, and Junghwan’s mom are the most helpful.”
During his persuasion, Choi Moo-sung did not forget to praise Sun-young and the others.
"But I have no experience, is it really okay?"
Although Sister Xiujing was tempted, she still looked at Liu Shuyu cautiously.
“Deok-sun is a customer, if she has no objection, then I certainly have no objection either~” Liu Shuyu said with a smile as he looked at Deok-sun.
"I agree!" Deok-sun raised her hand high.
Soo-kyung excitedly hugged Deok-sun, almost knocking her off her seat.
"Great! Now you two can be together too!"
Soo-kyung felt her heart race instantly, and she excitedly looked at Deok-sun for a moment, then at her sister.
Seeing the excited Soo-kyung, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Soo-kyung's sister clenched her fists in gratitude. Since meeting Deok-sun's family, her life had finally become a little more sunny.
"Let's celebrate having new neighbors again!!"
"Let's have a drink!"
Sun-young raised her glass high, and even though everyone was drinking beverages, it didn't stop them from raising their glasses and shouting together.
"Cheers~!!"
Pearl also raised her small cup of milk and imitated the call.
“Hey~ Our Pearl should also have a toast~” Choi Moo-sung said with a smile, looking at Pearl sitting in his lap.
"Huh? Pearl? What are you doing at Uncle's place?"
Sunwoo, who was chatting happily with Taek when he came in, then noticed that Jinzhu was being held by Choi Moo-sung.
I glanced at it subconsciously just now, and when I saw Pearl, I felt relieved, but I didn't notice that it was him holding her.
"Oh, brother, give it to me, I'll hold it, thank you for your trouble."
Sun-young got up to go over.
"Hehe~ No need, no need, Pearl is very well-behaved."
Cui Wusheng waved his hand, picked up a piece of pastry, and handed it to Zhenzhu. Zhenzhu, surprisingly, was very compatible with him and accepted the pastry with a smile.
"Whoa!" Sunwoo looked at Jinju in disbelief. He never expected that Jinju, who had been frightened by Choi Moo-sung's fierce appearance when they met before, would become so close to him.
They're almost as good as me.
"Aze, your dad seems pretty skilled at taking care of kids. Were you raised like this?"
Sunwoo leaned closer to Taek and asked curiously.
“No, Dad rarely acts like this,” Aze said, looking at his father with a puzzled expression.
"Now? What's it like?" Sunwoo asked.
“Too talkative,” Aze replied.
Sunwoo looked across and saw Choi Moo-sung chatting and joking with Jin-joo like a child.
Pearl's smiling face and Cui Wusheng's kind gestures made him vaguely see a trace of his father.
There was a time when his father would accompany him like this, holding the little pearl and teasing him.
When Sunwoo came to his senses, he looked at Sunyoung and found that his mother had the same expression as him, quietly watching Choi Moo-sung and Jin-joo playing.
She held a piece of meat in her chopsticks, put it in the bowl, and then spaced out and forgot to let go.
In that instant, Sunwoo seemed to sense something unusual.
He silently ate his rice with his head down, but his eyes kept glancing at Aze's father and mother.
