Upon hearing that they had decided on a name, my son, Ho So-in, playfully exclaimed, “Oh!”
However, contrary to his calm demeanor, he is swallowing his saliva and looking into Cheong’s eyes, trying to hide his nervousness.
“Hwiyoung. Yeom Hwi-young.”
“Oh, that’s a more plausible name than I expected? It’s not a common name either. What do you mean, mother?”
“I hope that I can become a person who is comfortable even when I shine, and a person who is comfortable for everyone even when I shine.”
“Hwiyoung. Hwiyoung. “It’s Hwiyoung.”
My sons, Ho Ho-in and Yeom Hwi-yeong, repeat my name several times.
As uncomfortable as food that doesn’t suit your taste, as awkward as a child with a toy you’ve never had.
“But do you usually give names like that? Don’t you pray for me to become a strong person, a high-ranking person, a precious person, and a difficult person that others can’t carelessly treat?”
“Why, should you have used cucumbers or sampal?”
One of the naming methods in Jungwon is to take the last digit of the father’s and mother’s ages.
The advantage is that you never forget your child’s age.
“That’s not it. I feel like the name still tells me to be a good person. Should I be a better son here?”
“Become a comfortable person, not a good person. What’s so difficult about being a difficult person? People are naturally difficult to deal with when they become great. Well, isn’t it difficult to deal with a master even if he holds his weight strictly and seriously? “Just as I can’t be careless with people in need, I also can’t approach them easily.”
In fact, it is difficult to be a brilliant and great person but also a comfortable person.
What a good word it is to be comfortable.
This is because it includes the state of being relaxed in the body, the comfort of letting go of one’s mind, the feeling of preference, and even the ease and benefit of being able to do things lightly.
Isn’t it a word full of all kinds of peaceful emotions, such as nice, cozy, relaxed, and easy?
Therefore, people easily approach people they are comfortable with, extend their hand, say hello, and smile with their eyes to welcome them.
Because it’s comfortable. Because he is a comfortable person.
“… … So, a person who is comfortable is someone who is loved by everyone. I know he hasn’t received anything in particular so far, so he told me to get a lot of it now. “Okay?”
Last night, I hugged Gyeon Po-hee and laid down in bed, and it couldn’t be that cozy.
And the bed is a very mysterious place where the best thoughts come to mind when you feel drowsy.
As I was writhing in my sister-in-law’s arms so warmly, I suddenly thought that comfort was such a good thing.
“hmm. I don’t sympathize with this at all. Become a comfortable person. “Isn’t that what you’re saying is to be a funny guy?”
“What, so you don’t like it?”
Yeom Hwi-young smiles satisfied.
“no. I like it very much. I mean, a mother took the trouble to choose good letters for her child, and that’s what’s important. It’s all about wanting your children to do well. It’s what I’ve wanted my whole life. “Thank you, Mom.”
“Keuhaeu, I told you not to do that, right?”
Cheong blushes and rubs his forearms.
The fur all over my body rose up and I held a rally, saying I couldn’t live like this.
“I’m serious. “It doesn’t really resonate with my heart, but if you took great care to build it for your son, then what’s the point?”
He slapped Cheong’s forehead.
“I put a lot of thought into building it. Do you really have to hit the candle like that? “I gave it to you as a gift and I didn’t like it, but I liked it because it was so thoughtful.”
“What matters to this son is his heart, mother. “Now I want to try a trick I haven’t been able to do for 50 years, so I wonder if I can do it for the next 50 years or so?”
“Have you been playing tricks for fifty years?”
“Then how many years will it be, Mother?”
“Well, no matter how long it takes, won’t it be finished within twenty years?”
“Good. So, you said twenty years is okay? Mother, just say something to Soja. What now, Salwolpa? How dare they worry your mother? “Would you like me to clean up my buds?”
Cheong looked at him with a straight face and shook his head.
“Don’t say things like that. I won’t go as far as to stop Hyun-kyung from wanting to have a son, but I have no intention of controlling her just because she has a child. “If a child is over 50, it is time to leave their parents’ arms and go their own way.”
Yeom Hwi-young’s smile deepens.
Even though I thought I was somehow offended, Cheong drew a clear line.
“I have no intention of ordering anything, so I’ll just go on my way. “What kind of parents and children can live together in their arms for a thousand years and ten thousand years?”
“also. i love you. mother.”
Cheong shook his head.
“Didn’t you hear me? Okay, go on your way. Huoi, bring me some salt. It looks like the place here is really bad. “If you spray it very heavily, it will turn into a salt pan.”
“uh? Then, can I bring about 200 geun? So how many carts should I bring? One palanquin is 10 pieces, and 3 pieces are 40 geun, so if you want to make 100 geun. Uh, three, six, forty, uhh.”
Gyeon Po-hee worked hard to fold and unfold her fingers, adding and subtracting them, and finally said with a smile.
“I don’t know. “Can I buy two bags?”
“Just one bite is enough, right? “There’s someone I want to chase away, so I’ll spray it.”
Then Gyeon Po-hee shakes her head.
“Sister-in-law. then no. “I don’t think my nephew will be disappointed.”
“After all, the only person who cares about me is my aunt. “Auntie is the best.”
Cheong also shook his head.
I just wish it would all turn off.
It was Cheong’s sincerity.

Now that the public sentiment in Gwangju has turned around due to the son’s unexpected performance, it is time to bring in people to properly restore the manor.
Jinjiajang restoration work is not something I spend my own money on, so of course it requires the permission of the person spending the money.
Cheong visited Jinjagang, Jinjiaju, saying that he needed to build a room to find people and hire a master carpenter.
At the moment, Jinjagang is flailing his arms and legs in front of Gajujeon (his Tai Chi is a bit out of shape) and is digesting the breakfast he ate.
Jinjagang is embarrassed to see Cheong.
The number of people in the group has increased, so even with the single-eyed young man, it is shocking to see him pretending to be hugged by a woman with his good legs.
Looking at the Poomsae, there is no discomfort at all, so it is as if you are used to it and have become accustomed to it.
“Cheonhwageom? “Are you uncomfortable in any way?”
“ah. Sister-in-law. Drop me off. In front of adults, you have to get off quickly and say hello. This is my sister-in-law, Gyeon Po-hee. Because he likes carrying me around. I’m not doing this to make you feel comfortable, but I have no choice but to give it to you. yes?”
“huh. huh. hello? “My younger brother is very indebted to me.”
Two women bow.
“Who is this young man?”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about this.”
Gyeon Po-hee’s original purpose was to help Cheong, but Yeom Hwi-yeong just followed along, saying that since he had nothing to do, he would just watch what his mother was doing.
Yeom Hwi-yeong seems to be thinking for a moment, but then he bows his head politely.
“hello. “I am an unknown guest named Yeom Hwi-yeong, and I came to Gwangju at the risk of being rude because I heard that my mother is here.”
“Did you say mother?”
“Yes, matriarch. “Here, Cheonhwageom becomes my saccharine.”
“… … ? Heavenly Fire Sword? A son who has grown up like this? Uh, um. Perhaps, Yeon-chi was deceived, or, um, Cheon Hwa-geom also had a reason. Well, um. “You truly have a dedicated child?”
Jin Ja-gang looks shocked, but since he was polite, he responds politely.
I would say that he is truly a man of great character.
“An adopted son, no, a godson?”
“ah. godson. okay.”
When we talk about a godson, we mean a foster child.
Strictly speaking, adoption is a term used when a child of a blood relative is adopted as a child.
When registering a stranger who is not related to you by blood, you are referred to as adopted son or, more commonly, as godson.
Although he had a very curious expression, it was Jin Ga-ju’s personality not to ask more questions.
But Yeom Hwi-young’s mouth doesn’t stop.
“Originally, I had a vicious nature from a young age and committed many sins, but my mother scolded me, and the evil person in the past was reformed. This is the same as my new birth. So this son earnestly asked and served his adulterous mother.”
“ah. That’s right. hmm. Beautiful story, beautiful story… … is it?”
Jinja River is in chaos.
The wicked man was converted and became a new person, so he decided to ask for a godson.
If Cheong were an adult around the age of 40, it would be a wonderful story about the courage of a villain who brilliantly guided a villain and the villain who was influenced by him.
It is a heartwarming story that seems to come out of an old story.
However, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit odd for a young man in his mid-twenties to take a girl who has just turned twenty-one as his mother-in-law.
If a mother is younger than her child, it becomes a strange story that only luxury people would tell.
And the confusion spreads throughout Jinjiajang.
“Preface Sojeo! When is the third competition, hmm? There was a group of people there. this person is? Eh? Your son? ah. yes. Nice to meet you.”
“Sister Cheonhwa! Chang-ah scribbled on the brick, ah, ah. Who is this brother? Eh. son… … ? Heh, my name is Jin Yuwol.”
“Wow, Cheong? who is this? Bringing all these handsome young men. if. Oh yeah. so. hmm. “My godson is very tall, and he also has very good manners.”
Jinjiajang people who were off duty saw Cheong and greeted him warmly.
In fact, the subject of having a strange attitude towards Ji’s mother, neither being rude nor speaking informally, and being a polite and polite young man when I see others, somehow makes me feel sick.
And finally, a ray of light came down.
“Preface Soger? What on earth is going on? No, does that make sense? Are you saying you want to be a godson to a girl who has barely reached her retirement age? “If she has any thoughts on that, then why not?”
“Jean Soger!”
Cheong grabs Jinseol’s hand.
Isn’t this the reaction of a person with common sense?
But the truth was cold.
“Seomun Sojeo is like that too. “I know that my preface is a nice person, but what should I do if I just accept it without a hitch?”
“that’s right. “It’s really like that.”
Be that as it may, Cheong is a touching experience for the first time in a long time.
I would like to share this emotion more, but the Jin family members are busy people due to lack of staff, so they end up skipping out on patrol at the workplace.
Since the Qing has work to do, shouldn’t it now be in a position to request proper construction rather than looking for a construction site in Gwangju?
So, when Cheong dressed up as a civil engineering fairy and visited Mokbang Street, I wonder if only one or two people would recognize the fairy.
“Oh, fairy. I guess you finally accepted it? “Yes, isn’t that all merit?”
“Today, I heard that you are entrusting me with some construction work today. Does a fairy take charge of the master carpentry? Oh, they don’t take charge of construction work. Let’s leave it to Mr. Kang or Mr. Yang. Oh, but I guess that’s what happened in the end?”
Even the girl who showed off yesterday knew how and showed up, running towards her and fawning over her with her arms crossed.
“Oh, mother!”
“How on earth did you little boy know? “This little thing is already chasing after the guy, so I can’t use it?”
“Hehe, mother, you thought you were going to have a daughter at this time.”
“I’m not interested in that love story, so you should resolve it between yourself.”
“hey. As I said, I don’t like little guys. “Do you have children at my age?”
“I’m not a child! “I’m 15 years old this year, and I’m an adult.”
“Kid. I am fifty years old. “If he lived three times as long as you, he could be considered a child.”
“… … ? lie. “I won’t be fooled.”
Yesterday’s new wave has already spread throughout the city, so everyone scolds Yeom Hwi-yeong, who is smiling behind Cheong, that everything is going well.
“Fairy lady, my goodness, may I take on the role of captain? That’s Guangdong architecture. Even if I’m a bad guy, if I say that I pushed out the fairy and took over the position, wouldn’t there be a backlash? By the way, does that mean the godson will become a carpenter, or will he inherit the shrine?”
Cheong is no longer a young carpenter, but a proudly recognized long-time carpenter.
When she first called herself a civil engineering fairy, it was like impersonating a young carpenter, but at least there was no longer a carpenter in downtown Gwangju who doubted Cheong’s skills.
Now, he is a skilled carpenter who would not be surprised if he takes on the role of leader of a construction project.
So, from the master carpenter to the master carpenter, how much labor will be used, how the construction will proceed, how much material there is, how much can be procured, how to use it, etc., etc., a skilled conversation unique to carpenters continues.
Yeom Hwi-yeong, who is sitting on a stump commonly found on Mokbang Street, rests his chin on his knees and looks at the scene.
The corners of my son Ho-soo-in’s mouth curve into a soft line.
The daughter of the vegetable store followed his deep gaze and looked at Cheong, then looked at Yeom Hwi-yeong again, and repeated this about three times, her eyes dropping as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Brother? no way? “No, right?”
“You little crab. You didn’t say that her mother was showing off for no reason, did you? “You’re already very lewd, and your buds are really yellow too, aren’t you?”
“Oh, no, I just.”
Yeom Hwi-yeong giggles and pats the little boy’s head.
If Seo Mun-su-rin had seen it, no matter how young she was, she would have vomited fire for messing up the woman’s life-like hair.
I only followed him around for half a day, but anyone would think he was a Gwangju native who lived in Gwangju because he greeted everyone he met so warmly.
Although he is a great elder of the religious faction and a leader with the highest level of inaction and is feared by the common people, he does not seem to have any difficulties with it.
“They said he was an easy-going person. Isn’t he just a fanboy? Still, it doesn’t look bad.”
“Hmph. I’m a person who cares a lot… … . Um, brother, what did you just say?”
“You have nothing to know. “You’re a spoiled kid.”
“Si, are you going to keep doing this?”
“Are you going to keep doing this? So what can you do?”
While Yeom Hwi-yeong was taking the medicine, he suddenly asked as if an idea occurred to him.
“hey. Come to think of it, those usurious bastards are still fine, aren’t they? “Aren’t you going to harass me more?”
