354 Daddy's too strong. Episode 353.

On January 1, Shinjeong is truly a meaningful day.

It had more meaning than just welcoming the new year. Looking back on the past year, most people start the year with a new mindset. They are bound to set their own goals such as diet, smoking cessation, passing exams, and abstaining from drinking.

"Father, are you up?”

At 5:20 a.m., when the sun was about to rise.

Seol Yoon-hee, who was up first, said hello. a much earlier-than-usual rise

My hair was a little wet because I just washed it. It must be less dried.

"Happy New Year."

After exchanging New Year's greetings, Do-joon, who had a brief wash, could see her preparing rice cake soup. However, waking up early did not seem to be simply to make rice cake soup. Last year, I prepared rice cake soup to wake up at 7 o'

"You woke up really early today.”

"Yes, I'm a senior now, so I have to get up at 6 o'clock, so I'm trying to get used to it.”

In general, high school seniors are test takers.

Just as the atmosphere of test-takers diligently trying to get good scores on the CSAT and enter a good university is formed, many third graders at Hunter Academy also had early morning training while reducing sleep to enter the "Good Guild."

Time is fair to everyone, but Dojun somehow felt that time went by really fast. It seems like yesterday that I attended Seol's entrance ceremony, but I can't believe I'm a third grader.

Two years are so fast, and the rest of the year is going to be dreary.

It occurred to me.

"New Year's blessings this bar de new yaw."

The last star to wake up greeted his family with a big bow. Dojun saw Carthiel bow politely, 'Happy New Year to the stars.' It was such a cute scene that a smile was built.

"All the rice cake soup."

Then he hummed while watching Seol Yoon-hee making rice cake soup in the kitchen. Unlike regular rice cake soup, Seol Yun-hee added a lot of beef for her children. Almost half the beef. The biggest beneficiary will be the use.

Byul, you know what?

"Where are you going?"

"If you eat tteokguk, you're old too.

Well, of course it was a joke.

But the problem is that it was already a joke around this time last year.

Last year, I trusted it and ate more than ten bowls of rice, but this year it was different.

"That's a horse. Rice Lee, you fooled me.

Unexpectedly, the determined baby was cute, and Do-jun sat at the table, giggling.

* * *

There is a saying that people who read a book are scarier than people who know nothing.

They say that they cannot win because they try to teach others by using ill-informed or misguided knowledge. Hakasseh believed that Kiriel belonged to such a class.

'This day has come.’

On January 1st last year, Kiriel urged people to call him "hyung," saying he had eaten as many as five bowls of rice cake soup. That's why I'm five years older on Earth now that I've had five bowls. I ignored it thinking it was nonsense, but I remembered being really stressed out because I was talking about my age all day long.

'This year will be the same.’

Eyes for eyes! Teeth for teeth!

Hakase clenched his fist while looking at the calendar in 2021.

For today, he had applied to participate in a rice cake soup eating contest hosted by the community center. Officials check how many bowls of rice cake soup they had, and based on that, they were going to avenge Kiriel.

Took

After a brief outing, Kiriel brings a pot and puts it on the table. Kiriel smiled contentedly.

"What's that, Kiriel?"

"The king of the earth handed out rice cake soup. Seol Yun-hee made it, and she told me to take some because there's a lot left."

"Tteo, tteokguk?"

"Hoot. There's a lot of beef in it. If you want to eat, bring a bowl to eat. This body may give you a special little."

It looks like three servings.

However, it seems like the sun will rise in the west to hear that Kiriel is giving out rice cake soup.

Hakasseh opened his eyes wide, trying to figure out what he was up to.

"I don't eat."

"What?"

"Hmmm. I have to go out right away."

"You mean this body can eat all the tteokguk, lizard?"

"Yes."

Hakase somehow burst out laughing.

It was an obvious sneer. Tteokguk is worth three bowls at best.

In other words, according to his logic, you'll only get three years old if you eat all that!

'You'll see, you'll call me brother.’

"Hahahaha!"

With a loud laugh, Hakase left the nest.

Kieriel shrugged and pressed the remote power button to turn on the TV.

Watching the New Year's special on TV, he started to eat rice cake soup.

When I was in the center, I didn't think about the concept of getting older, but as I ate rice cake soup in the New Year on Earth, I could realize that I really got a year older.

Kiriel knew now.

No matter how much you eat rice cake soup, you don't get that old.

The Saemaeul Women's Association in Bangbae 3-dong hosted a rice cake soup sharing event every year and held a "eating contest" at the same time. The idea was to promote harmony by exchanging rice cake soup with neighbors. Kiriel was one of the sponsors of this year's event.

"Oh, he's here! Mr. Hakase."

Kim Mi-na, a social welfare official in charge of the women's association, welcomed me. Kim Mi-na was in charge of organizations such as the Saemaul Women's Association and the Red Cross Society. Hakase and Kiriel usually knew each other well because they visited the community center whenever they had time to do active volunteer work.

Moreover, Hakase sponsored a whopping five million won this time!

"Didn't Mr.Kiriel come with you?"

"He's eating rice cake soup at home."

"Ah, ah, ·, ·, ·. It would have been nice if you could have eaten here together. Our women's society's mothers are so good at cooking.”

At the news of Hakase's arrival, women's members who were making rice cake soup, employees of the community service center who were assisting the event, and the head of the Dong greeted them warmly. Hakase accepted their greetings politely and smiled.

"Oh, I'm eating well because the bachelor has given me the money. If it weren't for you, there would have been a lot of people who couldn't eat because they didn't have enough."

"He's the one who went around with me last time and distributed rice!”

"Handsome and kind-hearted, ho ho ho ho ho ho!"

Hakase scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed by the compliment.

In fact, the volunteer work was aimed at showing off to Do-jun, and the sponsorship of the rice cake soup event was due to the intention of the eating contest being held without a hitch to flatten Kiriel's nose.

'Well, that's not bad.’

It feels good to be praised anyway.

[If you are participating in the rice cake soup eating contest, please gather over here!]

One of the community center staff said over the loudspeaker.

There were already more than ten participants sitting in a row where the tables were long.

All were local residents of Bangbae 3-dong. Hakase's seat was already in place. It was just the center seat.

[Now that all the participants are here, let's start the rice cake soup eating contest!]

Click!

The staff at the community service center take pictures diligently.

And a bowl of rice cake soup is delivered to each participant.

[The time limit is 20 minutes.]

[The one who eats the most in the time limit wins!]

Soon, Hakase began to scoop up rice cake soup fiercely.

Other participants gave up on the third and fifth dishes if there were fewer, but Hakase continued.

"Wow!"

Empty vessels gradually stretched.

I was gradually full, but Hakase never gave up.

It was because of his determination to return the humiliation he suffered last year to Kiriel and stop him.

In a hurry!

Ten bowls.

Fifteen bowls.

Twenty bowls.

The renewed record adds to everyone's cheers and enthusiasm.

Other contestants, who are rivals, have also begun to give Hakase a big cheer.

"One more bowl!"

"Wow! Twenty-four bowls!"

Beep!

Whistles rang to indicate that the time limit was over.

The community center staff and women's members came to the table and counted the number of empty bowls placed in front of their respective players. And when the tally was over, the referee's staff said over the loudspeaker.

Mr. Hakase ate 24 bowls of rice cake soup!]

A tremendous cheer comes out at the moment.

Hakase looked as if the rice cake soup inside was going to flow back, but he tried hard to smile.

It's the margin of victory. It's to pretend to be cool.

[We have a commemorative photo shoot, so please gather around!]

People gathered around Hakase.

The staff of the community center, women's members, and local residents, ·······.

Everyone smiles in one place.

"Mr. Hakase, grab this."

Kim Mi-na smiled and pointed at the banner.

6th New Year's Rice Cake Soup Sharing Event

[One, two, three!]

* * *

an iron fist

Back in the nest, Hakase took bottled water out of the refrigerator to soothe his bloated stomach. Kiriel was lying in a cocky position in the living room, giggling while watching TV. Hakase's lips twitched.

"Kiriel."

"Why?"

"How many bowls of rice cake soup did you eat today?"

"Three bowls."

Hakase kicked, laughed and showed A3 size paper.

"Look at this."

It was a picture.

The photos showed Hakase and the villagers.

A picture holding a banner reading "The 6th New Year's Rice Cake Soup Sharing Event."

Hakase also held a sign saying 'Winner of the rice cake soup contest, 24 bowls.'

"Now, who's the brother?"

“······.”

Cyriel had an expression of ignorance of English.

Unexpectedly unresponsive, Hakase opened his eyes wide.

"Why aren't you answering, Kiriel?"

"I'm asking because I don't think it's possible."

"Hoo-hoo, tell me."

"Just because you ate more rice cake soup than this body, you're not going to say that stupid thing to call you brother, are you, lizard?"

Hakase's expression hardened.

And Kiriel realized that 'no way' was right.

He shook his head as if he was dumbfounded and turned his eyes back to the TV.

It was then.

Fluttering!

I can feel the heat behind my back.

Turning his head again, he looked back, and saw Hakase memorizing the idiom.

The huge summoning ceremony stretching out from Hakase's hand was the "meteo."

"Do, lizard! Ji, what are you doing now?"

"You bastard! I'll kill you!"

As soon as Hakase was about to attack Kiriel with a flash of his eye,

"Ooh, ooh!"

Kiriel was frightened and fled to the heart system in a short moment, using a "central talisman."

And Hakase tried to go after him, but the door of dimension was closed. Hakase, who was full of anger, began to recover his composure after whining.

"Huuu,·····"

Salang,

Then a photo of the rice cake soup event fell on the floor.

“······.”

Hakase picked up the picture.

"···흠흠흠흠흠."

flutter flutter

Hakase, who took out a frame that he didn't use from the warehouse, put the picture in the frame.

I hung a frame on the wall. And I smiled unconsciously while looking at the picture in the frame.
