When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 338 I am the second brother

After a pause, he took out the remaining bread and said, "You can only eat one more. The rest must be given to grandma and the others."

Hearing this, Deok-sun's eyes turned into crescent moons.

Junghwan not only loves to laugh, but also seems to have become gentler than before.

This feeling is very rare.

Li Yihua returned home and slapped the itchy itch on the ground.

Instead of venting the anger in my heart, I became even angrier.

"I'm so pissed off. Who does Deok-sun look like? Why does she behave like that? That camera must be so expensive. My life is so miserable."

Cheng Dongri said softly, "Wife, you might beat our daughter to death if you do this. You can buy another camera. Losing the camera is like beating a dog. Beating our daughter is just like beating a dog."

"It's all your fault. If you made more money, would I beat my daughter like a dog? If you hadn't been the guarantor, we could have lived a good life like the people living upstairs. If I had money, I could have been a good mother. It's because I don't have money that I'm so stingy. It's all your fault. Blame it on you!"

Li Yihua chattered incessantly and spoke very quickly.

Sung Dong-il works at a bank and has a good job.

Social class, neither high nor low.

If I didn't only get paid half of my salary every month, I could live a very good life.

He got up and didn't want to continue listening to Li Yihua's preaching.

"Where?"

Cheng Dongri said, "Go make money. Don't you want to live a good life like the people above? So I go out to make money."

"Don't buy anything. It's a waste of money. Do you think everyone is that lucky? Really."

There seemed to be a hint of crying in the voice.

Sung Dong-il walked forward and ignored her.

This scene is a perfect expression of the fact that poor couples are always sad.

After Zhengfeng won the lottery, there was a lottery craze in the alley.

At that time, everyone would buy lottery tickets to some extent.

Sadly, no one won.

……

Paula held Li Renyong's arm and watched people coming and going in the department store.

"Why did you bring me here?"

“Buy cosmetics.”

"I still have some, don't waste your money."

Li Renyong gently pinched Paula's cheek, his fingers slightly bent, clamping her face just right.

It won't cause her any pain, but it will give her a subtle itch.

Paula's face is relatively round, so it feels very comfortable to pinch.

He had wanted to pinch her a long time ago, but was afraid of getting beaten.

Only at this time, when the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, did he dare to give it a try.

Paula was a little shy about doing intimate actions in the crowd.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, making her look even more beautiful in the sunlight.

"I didn't buy it for you. It seems that my mother's cosmetics are almost used up, so I bought it for her."

Paula's eyes were full of confusion. Isn't Aunt Huili in Samcheonpo?

In an instant, she understood who the "Ama" Li Renyong was referring to.

The blush on her face deepened.

"Don't yell, you should call Aunt Ichika. We haven't..."

Looking at Paula's charming appearance, Li Renyong became playful.

"Nothing yet?"

"If you have the guts, call her like that in front of my mother."

"Then I wouldn't dare."

Paula rolled her eyes and said, "You only know how to bully me. I'm not going to pay any attention to you."

She let go of Li Renyong's arm and walked forward.

"Wait for me."

The two went directly to the third floor and found the Lancome store.

The cosmetics Li Yihua uses are all unknown brands and very cheap.

In the alley, only Ms. Luo uses the Lancome brand.

Li Renyong bought a set, including bottles of all sizes and everything else.

Originally, she wanted to buy two sets, but Paula thought it was a waste of money, so she ended up buying just one.

In fact, if Huili was there, he could just go to the store and get it.

Spend less money.

That’s right, it costs money for my own son to go to the store to buy cosmetics.

They bought their things very quickly and came out in less than ten minutes.

Paula wanted to continue shopping, but Li Renyong wanted to go back and have a rest.

...Shuangmendong, Fenghuangdang Hutong.

The time came to seven o'clock in the evening.

Li Yihua held the dining table and said, "Children, it's time to eat."

Today's dinner is even more humble than before.

Besides potatoes and kimchi, there is rice.

The soup is still the same old tofu soup.

It was obvious that Deok-sun had no appetite.

The food we ate during the school trip these days was much better than this.

However, she still picked up the spoon and prepared to eat.

After all, no matter how bad the food at home is, it can’t compare to the food outside.

Paula smiled and said, "How can you eat more after eating so much bread?"

Deshan rolled her eyes and said, "None of your business."

Hearing this, Paula's anger soared.

Li Renyong quickly stopped her and said, "Paula is just concerned about you."

"Tsk, who cares about her?"

Everyone had no appetite for dinner.

Sung Dong-il, in particular, was in a very low mood.

He went to buy a lottery ticket today, but didn't win.

After the nickname of semi-underground, he now wants to work hard and focus on his family.

After eating, when Li Renyong wanted to help clean up the dishes, the phone rang.

"Ayong, I'm looking for you."

Li Renyong picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

"Ayong, it's me, second brother. Where is your home? I've been looking for a long time but can't find the right place."

Ok?
The voice is a bit unfamiliar.

Second brother?

Suddenly, Li Renyong thought that this was Ajun's brother.

Ajun has two older brothers. The eldest brother started working very early, while the second brother is a more carefree person and I heard that he went to college.

But why did he call me?
"Second brother, what's wrong?"

"My family is planning to buy a house in Seoul. I just came back from military service and don't know much about this, so I came to ask you. My father is here too."

"Uncle Jin is here too? I'll pick you up at the train station later."

"No, we'll drive your car. Aunt Huili said it's useless to leave the car at her place, so she asked us to drive it back."

"alright."

After Li Renyong gave the address, he hung up the phone.

My second brother was born in 1968, the same year as Paula, but in December, a few months younger.

It is said that he was selected to join the army when he was just a freshman in college.

Uncle Jin's family is upper-middle economically.

If we buy a house in Seoul, all the money in the family will probably be drained out, and we may even have to take out a loan.

"Ayong, what's going on?"

Li Renyong smiled and said, "Nothing, just some people from my hometown are coming, I have to go pick them up. Aunt Yihua, I need you to clean up the dishes."

Li Yihua waved her hand and said, "Go quickly, and call me anytime if you need help."

Paula whispered, "I'll go too."

Just as the two were about to go out, Li Renyong slapped his forehead.

"Look at my head."

He went into Paula's bedroom and took out the cosmetics he had bought.

Because it is a set, it is not packed in a bag, but a box as big as a briefcase.

"Auntie, this is the cosmetics I bought for you. Some time ago, I saw that your cosmetics were almost used up, so I bought it without telling you. It's from Lancome, I don't know if you are used to it."

Li Yihua's face was stunned, but there was some happiness in her eyes.

However, it's a very expensive set.

She didn't really want to collect it.

Paula smiled and said, "Auntie, take it."

I thought to myself: People already call you mom, so buying you some cosmetics is nothing.

Li Yihua accepted the cosmetics without saying thank you.

"Be careful when you go out at night, and come back quickly after picking someone up."

"I see. It's not far. It's just at the entrance of the alley."

In the alley, the dim lights emit a hazy glow.
