Chapter 1124 – Our Hand Dice!
My father-in-law’s father, Mawang and Sehee’s paternal grandfather, lived in a house with a large yard. Of course, it wasn’t a mansion with green lawns, it was just a country house with a slightly larger yard.
“Is that him?”
“You look tall and handsome! “I want my daughter to be my son-in-law!”
“Isn’t your daughter 40?”
“No! 44! Ah ha ha!”
Residents sitting on mats in the yard of a typical country house looked at me curiously. And because it was Chuseok, middle-aged people, young people, and even children were staring at me.
“Definitely, the real thing is better than the photo.”
“I think I’ve gained a bit more weight than when I saw it on the news.”
“To that guy, Sohee noona… !”
I only glared at the guy who looked a few years younger than me, even though he was a bit bigger, but I couldn’t come to my senses because the gazes were overwhelming him.
-Come on, many people! Our grand dice! Look at the hand dice! How tall he is! Oh my, I don’t know whose hand dice it is!
Of course, there was someone else who really made me lose my mind. On a makeshift stage set up in the corner of the yard, a sturdy old man shouted into the microphone with a wide smile.
-Ruler! Our grand dice! Those who came to see our grandchildren! Say hello!
“Yes? Uh, uh, uhh, uh…”
It was already sudden, but he said something even more sudden. I looked around at the people I had been looking at since I came here, took our luggage carrying the devil, and bowed my head and shouted.
“Hello!”
-Hey, hand dice! Is that a greeting?
They told me to say hello, so I did, but the boos came back. Then, the grandfather changed the microphone to his left hand and gave a sharp salute with his right hand.
Chachachak!
-Step! Texture! This is how you should do it!
No, I was discharged…
Once a soldier, always a soldier, but at most I was only a reserve soldier. In addition to this, because I spent 7 years as a soldier in another world and nearly 2 years in this life, I was embarrassed when I thought about the military.
“You. “There you are.”
“Oh, kinda. Okay.”
Still, I got motivated when I saw the demon king whispering next to me. Just as I had learned at the Gihundan, I showed a salute by moving only my right hand from the posture of chariot.
“A sure win!”
-Yea~!
Clap clap!
Only after saluting did my grandfather welcome me with applause. The residents and their relatives also laughed and had fun.
“Wow, that’s cool.”
“Self. Why is your father-in-law a unity and Ji-heon a sure winner?”
“Each army is a little different. Salute slogan.”
Among them, there were some familiar faces. Se-hee, who smiles and claps her hands in a half-forced manner, the goddess who shows off her neatness and sacredness as always, no, the mother-in-law, and even the father-in-law, who is large and unsteady compared to his calm face.
-Ruler! Our hand dice!
It was time to see Sehee and her father-in-law on the floor of the house, not the yard. Uncle Jang must have been so happy that I came, so he hurried over to me while holding the microphone.
-Our grand dice!
“Our grandson dice!”
The old man came close enough to hear his voice before the speaker and held out the microphone. Then, just like when he visited here, he made a sudden proposal.
“Sing a song!”
“Huh?!”
“One song is okay. Come on, come on. Ruler. Come on~”
“No, I have this too,”
“Oh my. I’ll do this. Hurry! Ruler! Everyone is waiting!”
Instead of taking the bag from my hand, my grandfather gave me the microphone. Then he pushed me back towards the stage.
“Grandfather! I’m going to my dad and mom! Jiheon! See you later!”
“Oh! Okay! Come on!”
“Hey, hey! Sohee! No, oh, yes. “I’ll go.”
In the midst of all this, the devil went to his family without any thought of helping me. In the end, I was pushed by my grandfather and had no choice but to stand on a makeshift stage.
“Uh, uh, uh…”
“What song! Just say it! “He will give it to you!”
I looked back as my grandfather pointed. A middle-aged band that looked a bit older smiled and nodded with a friendly face. I smiled politely at them, nodded, and looked forward again.
“Hey, take a picture. Take a picture.”
“I can’t sing. Uh. “I can’t sing.”
“Ruler! Take a break! Rest for two beats!”
The local residents and their relatives looked at me with expectant eyes. I was suffocating because I felt burdened by the gaze of what seemed to be 50 people, but even so, I was a warrior in this world.
“Hey, grandpa. “I wonder if this song will work?”
Standing in front of people was just annoying, but it wasn’t something that couldn’t be done.
“Oh, no! Everyone! My number 18!”
“Ouch!”
“Ruler! One! One! Furthermore, one, two, three, four!”
The accompaniment began with the lead from the man playing the drums. I held the microphone with a trembling heart and started singing at the right time.
“Ah, you are a vulgar human being.”
“Pugh?!”
At that moment, laughter came out from the house. I glared lightly at Sehee, who was watching comfortably from the floor, and resumed singing.
“My brother sings better than I thought.”
“Oh, didn’t you go to a coin karaoke room together last time?”
“How can there be anything Jiheon can’t do?”
“You can’t dodge bullets.”
“Dad.”
“Dad.”
“Baby.”
“Why? That’s right?”
While I sang on the makeshift stage, Mawang and Sehee chatted with my father-in-law. In particular, the Demon King spoke to Se-hee, who had been in Miri since yesterday, and asked what was going on.
“What is this?”
“Oh, I couldn’t help it either. “I tried to stop him somehow, but my limit was stopping a newspaper reporter.”
“Okay. If you’ve done that much, you’ve done enough.”
I actively agreed with the demon king who nodded bitterly. No matter how good his hacking skills were, Se-hee couldn’t have helped his paternal grandfather. In the end, I gave up and focused on singing.
“I’m exhausted now! Bumblebee!”
“Bumblebee!”
“Bumblebee!”
“Bumblebee!”
Of course, singing was fun.
Anyway, I sang a few more songs that are famous enough for everyone to know, regardless of gender or age. Only after satisfying people’s expectations and creating excitement was I able to greet the craftsmen.
“Hello. Father-in-law. Mother-in-law.”
“Oh! Yes, Gangseobang! Are you good at singing?”
“Hohoho, you did so well that I took some pictures with the camera. “I’ll send you a text message later.”
“Oh, yes, yes. Thank you.”
I can’t believe that you left a video of me singing with such excitement. My face is so hot that I don’t know what to do. Still, I felt honored and with a humble heart, I sat among the sisters who inherited the blood of the goddess.
“For something you didn’t like, you were good at it?”
“You missed me, right?”
“…”
Seueuugh
I expressed my feelings through actions rather than answers. He put his hand between the arm and side of Mawang and Sehee and crossed their arms.
“Haha, how are you going to eat?”
“What am I going to do when I see my grandfather like this?”
The two of them revealed their true feelings by lightly bouncing and raising the corners of their mouths. When I saw those wives, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ugh, I should have left at least one… !”
Even though my father cried tears of blood when he saw this scene.
“Mr. Jiheon?”
At this time, my mother-in-law called with a smile that seemed to shine brightly even in the pitch-black darkness. My mother-in-law offered me one of the foods on her table.
“Try some of this. “I made it.”
“Ah, yes! Thank you!”
Raising my right hand with my arms crossed with the devil, my mother-in-law gave me a gift, big?!
“… See you later.”
“Uh, yes.”
While trying to taste the food that was given to him, he got stabbed in the side with his elbow by the devil. While holding my throbbing side, I lifted the chopsticks and felt the taste of my mother-in-law’s handwriting!
“How is it? “I think my liver has become a little strong.”
“Not just a little stronger, but a lot stronger, huh?!”
“How do you feel, Ji-heon?”
My father, who was about to scold him, suddenly groaned and closed his mouth. It was like I was a few seconds ago.
“Ah, wow, it’s delicious!”
And I quickly nodded to my mother, who looked similar to the devil who had stabbed me in the side with her elbow. At the same time, I ate another chopstick and sighed… ! I praised him while eating.
“The salty stuff is really delicious! It’s also good as a side dish for rice! “It’s also great as a side dish with drinks!”
“Oh? Is it so? Well, tell me later when you go. “I made a lot more than just this, so I’ll give you a lot!”
“… “You eat it all.”
“… If you throw it away, it will come right away.”
The thought of not accepting it or throwing it away didn’t even occur to me, but people on both sides of me were whispering softly. I nodded to my wives, who were worrying needlessly, that I understood, and ate the meal that had been prepared in advance.
“Haeup”
Eat.
“Haeup”
Eat.
“Haeup”
I ate again.
“But, you were very surprised, weren’t you?”
I was just getting the salt balance right when my father asked. My father-in-law pointed to the yard where a party was taking place and my grandfather singing with great excitement.
“Your father was very excited for you to come. “When I didn’t know you were a hand dice player, I tried to go to you with an air gun?”
Hey. That’s what they said.
“This is also very delicious. Eat it, Ji-heon.”
Before I could even consider the conversation we had in the car, the demon king handed me a disposable plate. He took a piece of the boiled pork in it, ate it, stared at it once, and then listened to his father’s words.
“Your father is a huge fan of you. I knew who the hand dice were and hung them up. Look.”
I looked around the floor as my father pointed out. The walls were full of photos that seemed to have been taken since the camera entered the Korean peninsula.
A grandfather photographed wearing a hat and hanbok, a man wearing a uniform reminiscent of the Korean Empire, a group photograph taken with a large old Taegeukgi in the background, a woman holding an M1 carbine rifle, etc.
“?!”
The thing that stood out the most was my photo. It was a photo taken at a training camp with my head shaved, when I was at the ugliest time in my life.
“Puhahahaha!”
“Oh my, what is that?”
Mawang and Sehee laughed in surprise as if they had seen each other for the first time today.
“Our grandson-in-law! “Let’s get a drink from my grandson-in-law!”
When I was embarrassed to see my picture hanging in my house for the first time today, my grandfather approached me holding a green soju bottle and a soju glass.
