When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 212 Farewell
The so-called Old Zheng is December 31st of every year.

Corresponding to the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Many of South Korea's Spring Festival customs originated from China, but they generally believe that these customs are traditions from ancient times.

Just like they think Jesus originated from Korea.

Park Tae-soo.

"Grandma, do you know Jin Chengjun?"

Huang Zhenying thought for a while and said with a smile: "You mean the guy whose tits you played when you were a child? I didn't expect you still remember him."

Hey?
Did you play the Samcheonpo harpsichord when you were a kid?
Why don't you know?

Li Renyong shrugged and said, "How is he?"

Huang Zhenying said: "He is becoming more and more like Leslie Cheung. His family has two 30-ton fishing boats. It is said that he will buy a 66-ton anglerfish net fishing boat next year. His life is getting more and more prosperous. You will see him when he comes to Samcheonpo to visit me next summer vacation."

"Not bad, it seems that life in the countryside is getting better and better."

Hearing this, Huang Zhenying said with a serious face: "There are also bad ones. You know Jin Hanzhong, he got married two years ago, but he still couldn't change his drinking habit. His wife would be driven away once a year."

Li Renyong had no impression of this person in his mind, but if he mentioned the drunkard who jumped into the sea in Samcheonpo in "Reply 1994", he would know him.

The two chatted like this, and time slowly came to ten o'clock.

Everyone is going to wash up and go to bed.

"Brother Yong, I want to sleep with you at night."

Huang Zhenying smiled and said, "Then sleep with Ayong."

Li Renyong was quite happy today and agreed to this request.

After washing up, the two lay on the bed.

Na Jing leaned close to Li Renyong's ear and whispered, "Brother Yong, we all saw you kissing Sister Bao La."

"Eh? You saw everything?"

Li Renyong was a little surprised. At the music festival, their seats were at the back, so how could they see it?

Na Jing whispered, "Brother Yong, can I kiss you on the mouth, too?"

Li Renyong patted Na Jing's head and said, "What are you thinking about? Only Sister Paula can kiss me."

"Ah, it hurts."

Na Jing covered her head with her hands, a hint of indignation in her eyes.

"But I can kiss your forehead."

Li Renyong kissed Na Jing on the forehead.

Only then did Na Jing lie down and fall asleep contentedly.

Li Renyong got out of bed and pressed the light switch.

Looking at Na Jing's little face, I sighed and thought that the little girl didn't understand anything.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Li Renyong was called up.

"Ayong, hurry up and get up and have breakfast."

After getting up, he called Na Jing again.

"Grandma, are you going back so early?"

Huang Zhenying sat at the table and said with a smile: "I have to send them back to Masan first before I can go back to Samcheonpo."

Huili came over with a bowl in her hand and said, "Mom, our house in Mashan hasn't been sold yet. You can rest there when the time comes. You have the key, right?"

Huang Zhenying shook her head and said, "No need. I will go back directly after sending these two little guys home."

After dinner, the family packed up everything and went to the highway bus station as a group.

Ajun and Li Renyong each held one of Najing's hands.

On the way, the two of them worked together in tacit understanding to pull Na Jing up and then put her down.

This went on for a few times, making Na Jing laugh happily.

Soon, everyone arrived at the high-speed bus station.

The tickets were bought yesterday, so we can just take the bus.

If you don't buy it, there will be a ticket seller on the bus.

The faint dawn in the sky heralds the beginning of a new day.

The station was crowded with people.

The sound of luggage wheels and people talking mixed together. The bus to Masan had been waiting for a long time.

Today's long-distance buses do not have as many rules as in later generations, and you can enter even without a ticket.

Even if someone wants to take a ride halfway, that’s fine.

Huang Zhenying smiled and said, "Huili, give me the bag, we should get in the car."

Huili put her bag on the ground and put the bag in her other hand into it.

"There are some fruits in it. We can eat them on the road."

Na Jing also said pitifully: "Brother Yong, I will miss you."

Li Renyong smiled and said, "I will miss you too."

Hearing this, Na Jing said happily: "When can we meet next time?"

Li Renyong lowered his head and said, "I will go there in April."

As soon as she finished speaking, Na Jing felt a little lost.

Because her biological brother died in an accident on April 1st.

Li Renyong patted Ajun on the back and said, "Give him some comfort on the way."

Arjun nodded.

Li Renyong then said, "Na Jing, we're parting. Don't be so sad. Smile a little."

Na Jing didn't smile, but walked onto the bus silently.

At this age, she already knows what death is and what separation is.

Ajun quickly followed her footsteps.

"Grandma, you should get on the bus too, they've all gotten on."

Huang Zhenying put the luggage on the side of the bus and said with a smile: "Then I'm leaving. Be careful when you go back."

The air at the station was filled with a mixture of morning dew and the unique scent of the station.

This is the taste of travel, the taste of reunion, and the taste of separation.

After a while, the bus started slowly.

The car window suddenly opened.

Na Jing stuck her little head out, waved her little hands and shouted, "Brother Yong, remember to come and see me."

"Yes, you'd better put your head back, it's dangerous."

Li Renyong watched the bus go farther and farther away until it disappeared from the end of his sight.

"Let's go, go back."

Huili was filled with reluctance, as she discovered these days that her mother had grown old.

For the remaining time, get together once less often.

But Huang Zhenying was unwilling to move in with him, always saying that when people get old, they don't want to go to a strange place.

She looked at Li Renyong tenderly, thinking that she would also live to be as old as her mother.

Li Renyong smiled and said, "Mom, you go back first. I have some things to do."

Huili twisted his ear and said, "What can happen so early in the morning? Come home with me."

"It hurts. My ear is going to fall off. Today is Phoenix Hall's birthday. I want to buy him a cake."

In Korea, families usually make kelp soup for birthdays, which is mainly related to respect and gratitude to the mother.

This custom originated from Korean women drinking kelp soup to replenish nutrition and restore health after giving birth.

A custom passed down from generation to generation.

Kelp soup is a must-have for birthdays.

As for birthday cake, it is optional.

These days, the custom of birthday cakes has not yet developed on a large scale.

Birthday cakes are a bit expensive, so some families try to save as much as possible.

Like in Paula's family, the two sisters have similar birthdays.

Sung Dong-il only bought a birthday cake.
