Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 200 New Year Special (Happy New Year everyone!)

"Sister Leopard, this is a serious matter! Beep beep beep, urgent SOS!"

Donglong's father went from being Ms. Leopard's enemy to becoming her ally.

Across from Cheng Dongri, there was a pile of cards in front of him. When the numbers were tallied up, it was many times larger than all the previous games they had played. This made the two of them subconsciously put aside their differences.

"Um, I'll go get some water first, and then I'll come back," Ms. Leopard requested a technical pause.

"Oh no! No, no!"

"Don't you know what kind of game this is? Don't move a single one!"

Cheng Dongri quickly spread his hands and shouted loudly.

"How am I supposed to do this if I can't move..." she muttered to herself, then stood up, as if she had thought of something, and looked at Sun-young.

"Sun-young, let's do it together."

“Ah? Big sister, I don’t want to…”, Sun-young shook her head.

“No, you want to!” the leopard lady gave her a look.

Although Sun-young was puzzled, she understood the meaning in her eyes and then got up and left.

Cheng Dongri was so smug that he didn't notice the subtle exchange between the two.

"Oh my, if we draw another card this time, the winnings will multiply many times over!" Li Yihua covered her mouth, looking at her husband in disbelief.

"Oh, you know, you're something else."

"It looks like you'll have to go to the hospital more often this winter."

Cheng Dongri glanced at Donglong's father across from him and said to Li Yihua with a smile.

"What are you going to the hospital for?" Li Yihua asked cooperatively.

“You’ve got a mink coat! And an overcoat…” Cheng Dongri said, drawing out the word “coat” for a long time.

"If I get heat rash in the future, I need to get it treated as soon as possible."

"Hahaha~~"

Cheng Dongri laughed wildly.

"Oh dear, the problem now is the heat rash."

"We might have to wear sandals by then."

Li Yihua glanced at Donglong's father and, in coordination with Cheng Dongri, said sarcastically to Donglong's father.

Seeing the couple's strange and sarcastic expressions, Donglong's father could only keep turning his head to look at the door. Now, only Ms. Leopard could save him.

Otherwise, we'll really be forced to wear sandals this winter...

........

"Big sister, what do you want?"

"I can't do it either, Paula's dad is too amazing."

Sun-young said she couldn't do anything about it.

"No need, just go and get your cassette tape from home."

When Ms. Leopard saw her here, an idea immediately popped into her head.

"What? A cassette tape?" Sun-young looked at her in confusion.

"It's the one that Sunwoo brought over last time."

"For Pearl to hear."

"Ms. Leopard said hurriedly."

"What are you going to do with that?" Sun-young asked, puzzled. Was this the time to listen to music?

Or is it a nursery rhyme?

"Never mind that, just go," Ms. Leopard said, pushing her out the door and waving her hand to urge her on.

.........

"I said, what are you doing? Can't the contestants respect the competition?"

"Hurry up and sit down."

Cheng Dongri sternly criticized Ms. Leopard.

"Honey, give the pearl to her, and give me a shoulder massage," Ms. Leopard gestured to Kim Sung-kyun.

"Oh, Pearl, Auntie will give you a hug~"

Lee Il-hwa took the pearl from Kim Sung-kyun's hand.

"Hehe, Pearl, watch how I beat them all!"

Sung Dong-il even smugly showed off to Little Pearl~

Jin Chengjun massaged Ms. Leopard and gave her a look: What should we do?

Ms. Leopard quietly reached behind her and handed him a cassette tape.

The leopard lady's eyes: Read my eye signals.

Jin Chengjun nodded: Understood.

"Come on, let's continue."

"In such a tense situation, I had to shout it out."

"5 points!!!"

Sung Dong-il shouted loudly, reigniting the tense battlefield.

Looking at the motionless Ms. Leopard, Donglong's father lowered his head in despair.

However, just as Sung Dong-il was shouting triumphantly, Kim Sung-kyun had already quietly put the cassette tape into the tape recorder.

Sun-young watched his actions with complete bewilderment.

As Donglong's father and Leopard's wife flipped their cards, neither of them got the good cards they wanted.

Sung Dong-il's laughter became even more unrestrained.

"Haha~ I'm serious, I'm almost having a heart attack from laughing."

"This hand is incredibly strong!"

Cheng Dongri drew a card.

Looking at the cards in his hand, he suddenly raised his hand.

"All eyes are on me. In this final moment, all I want to do is shout it out one last time!"

Five points!!!

Sung Dong-il's shout.

Ms. Leopard nodded.

Kim Sung-kyun pressed the radio switch.

Pearl darted out of Li Yihua's arms.

"Oh my, Pearl!" Sun-young exclaimed, covering her mouth. She quickly went to hug Pearl.

"Pearl, what are you doing?" Ms. Leopard reached out and grabbed Pearl, scattering the deck of cards in the process.

"Princess Mingqi, Mingqi~ Mingqi~".

As cheerful background music wafted from the house, the cats in the yard curiously poked their heads out to look into the lively room.

"Pearls!"

The cat was so frightened that it fell off the wall.

Outside Shuyu's house, Zhenghuan and the doll came out.

"Pearls!!"

A sudden exclamation startled the two of them.

"Pearls!!!"

Sung Dong-il held the last card in his hand, looked at Jin-joo being held by Sun-young, and once again let out a shout that resounded through the sky!

Sun-young was so frightened that she quickly went over and covered the child's ears.

She now understood why she had taken the cassette tape, and why she had given the pearl to Li Yihua to hold...

Ms. Leopard's use of a borrowed knife to kill was truly ingenious.

.........

The next day, Phoenix Hall Alley.

"Princess Mingqi~ Mingqi~ Mingqi~"

Donglong's father proudly took a broom and sang this nursery rhyme while sweeping the floor.

Although they still lost money in the end, the two of them prevented Cheng Dongri from succeeding in the last round.

It's like when you're playing with a golden shovel, and you're on a losing streak with an empty city and broken luck.

I lost out. But you're even more disgusting~

so.....

The smiles didn't disappear; they simply moved to their faces.

.......

"I'm going to be late, honestly, when will I ever get a holiday?" Cheng Dongri said, carrying a bag as he walked out of Liu Shuyu's house.

"Hey!!"

"Paula's dad!"

"Go to work!"

Donglong's father, who was sweeping the floor, called out from afar.

"Haha~! Teacher Liu, we're not done yet!"

"Last night was just an accident."

"See you tonight."

Cheng Dongri approached with a forced smile and said.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I'm going to Busan today."

"Isn't it the New Year?"

I wish you a Happy New Year in advance!

Donglong's father smugly wiggled his hips.

"The Magical Princess~~"

Hearing the song he was singing, Sung Dong-il's smile vanished instantly.

"Pearl!" Cheng Dongri jumped up and stomped on the coal cinders piled up in front of Pearl's house, his mouth full of regret.

Seeing Cheng Dongri's exasperated expression, Donglong's father couldn't stop laughing.

"I said, 'Cheng, Happy New Year!'"

"Happy New Year!!!!" Cheng Dongri roared from the corner of the alley.

........

New Year Special:

"Shuyu, does it have to be like this?" Deshan held up the red Spring Festival couplet in his hand.

"Yes, these are the Spring Festival couplets that should be pasted up in China during the Spring Festival."

"Your pure white ones..."

"It's only used at funerals..."

Liu Shuyu glanced at Deok-sun with a twitching smile.

He didn't understand why South Korea would put up white Spring Festival couplets, which shocked him.

“Okay, then how do I put up this ‘福’ character?” Deok-sun asked curiously, picking up the character.

"Paste the front door upright, and the inside door upside down."

"Pasting it upside down means 'good fortune has arrived'"

Liu Shuyu offered a thoughtful explanation.

"Oh~", Deok-sun readily agreed and stuck it on.

........

"Oh dear, Shuyu has to treat us to dinner for the New Year, I feel so bad~"

Li Yihua sat at the familiar dining table and said somewhat shyly.

"The Spring Festival should be lively and festive. Since I moved into Fenghuangtang Hutong, everyone has been as kind as my family, and I have gained a lot from it."

Liu Shuyu glanced at everyone and said.

"Then!"

Respect your family!

Cheng Dongri looked at the wine he had been eyeing for so long and finally got to drink it. He didn't say anything, just one word.

"Dry!"

wrong......

It consists of four characters.

"Happy New Year!!!"

Liu Shuyu, Cheng Deshan, Cui Ze, Cheng Bora, Cheng Sunyu, Cheng Yuhui, Jin Zhenghuan, Jin Zhengfeng, Liu Donglong, Cheng Jinzhu, Cheng Dongri, Li Yihua, Jin Chengjun, Luo Meilan, Jin Sunying, Cui Wusheng, Liu Zaiming (Donglong's father), Zhao Xiuxiang (Donglong's mother).

They all raised their glasses and shouted.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

May all the regrets of last year pave the way for surprises this year.

May all your wishes come true, and may all your paths be smooth.
