Chapter 160 – Chapter 160
I didn’t know that my trip would be left as a picture.
She quickly blushed and her embarrassment set in.
“Ah…”
Her speech choked her jaw. Her teachers laughed and complimented her when she wondered why her picture was here.
“This is a trip.”
“You came out so pretty!”
“Warrior of the sea!”
Their words hadn’t even reached my ears.
Looking at the clipped articles, she realized that she had done a lot for 3 nights and 4 days.
“…There’s a hit in my life…”
She realized that it was not a trip she had intended to do like this, but she had been very full and well-informed for 3 nights and 4 days.
§
You know it’s spring only after the flowers have withered, and you know it’s autumn only after the leaves have fallen.
She felt that the hot days had passed and the nights were getting cooler, and she realized that the summer had also been cut short.
Kyaaaaa!
Wow!
It wasn’t until I heard the noise of the kids rather than the greatness of nature that I realized that summer was over and vacation was over.
“Aren’t they cute?”
Ko Min-jung walked by and talked about the children.
I rubbed my now rather large belly and looked at the kids running around cutely.
“If we also have a son, will he grow up like that one day?”
“Huh? That’s right~.”
Gorgeous cities and quiet countryside. The appearance of elementary school students was not very different from the past.
And also at the hospital I found out that my child is a boy.
“Taemyeong is also a peek and it’s so cute, well~. Oppa, don’t make a Taemyeong like that again.”
While talking about Taemyeong, Ko Min-jeong stabbed me in the side.
“Ugh… I was fine.”
As I rubbed my sore side and made a sad face, Ko Min-jeong gave an admonition with an angry face.
“Some couple in the world names their child Monkey Spanner!”
“I think it’s better than Gamchinchi or Nipper…”
“Mr. Lee.”
He waved his hand at me playing a joke.
“Ah, it hurts, Minjeong…”
Her hands after exercising were very spicy. After she became pregnant, she couldn’t do strenuous exercise, but she still did moderate exercise every day.
I said rubbing her belly.
“Because it’s a boy, if there’s someone bullying you, just use a monkey to cook an earthen pot…”
“Ah~! Ms. Lee, you’ve become more like a child! I met you because I’m an adult~!”
She was the one who lamented seeing me gradually becoming like a child.
“Or Fat Man or Little Boy…”
“Oh no.”
I thought I would get really angry if I did more, so I stopped my immature pranks here.
“My baby’s birth name is Peekaboo, okay?”
“…Uh, isn’t that our baby…?”
“It’s in my belly. It’s mine.”
“…I made it…”
He patted my butt as if I was laughing.
“Okay~, okay~, it’s my child. Then I’ll go to the teacher’s office.”
“Yeah~.”
Since it was my first class after school started, I was worried that the students would listen.
Anyway, I’m going to do normal things that are no different from usual.
I was sitting in an old warehouse-cum-office, correcting the report form on my laptop according to the instructions given down from above, when my phone rang.
“Yes, hello.”
I had to leave the warehouse before I could fill out the form and get a call from the administrative office.
When I entered the administrative room, the banners were rolled up.
“What is this?”
Having not heard anything, I tilted my head and checked the size of the banner.
Knock knock.
At that time, I looked to the side and Teacher Ahn called me for a while.
“What’s going on? The atmosphere in the administrative office is a bit like that.”
I came out the back door of the school and asked while smoking a cigarette.
Ahn scratched his forehead and took out a cigarette.
Profit.
I lit his cigarette and lit mine too.
“Whoa.”
He exhaled thick cigarette smoke and said in a tone that he was annoyed.
“No, it’s from above, but it’s strange.”
“…Wasn’t everything strange from the beginning?”
“Pha, that’s right.”
He brushed off the ashes from his half-burnt cigarette and brought it back to his mouth.
“I ordered a banner that’s weirder than that. There’s a children’s library opened this time, right?”
“Oh, right.”
I was the one who reorganized the old building, so there was no way I wouldn’t know. There is also a library for children among them.
“It’s a banner to put up there… You’ll understand when you go in.”
I wondered if it was that strange to say the least.
I tilted my head as I watched him sigh all the way.
When I went back into the administrative office, I was told that there was a box next to the banner, and there were a lot of books in it.
“I need to install this, sir, please give me a hard time.”
“Yes? Yes.”
Since I only had to do what was entrusted to me, I loaded the box with the banner and the book onto the green cart.
“If Kuruma is heavy, shall I lift something?”
Mr. Ahn, who is in charge of the library, also walked with me.
“What the hell is wrong with your facial expressions?”
“… Because I’m trying to teach kids weird things… All teachers with kids hate it.”
I couldn’t tell you exactly what it was.
I arrived at the still-empty library and finally unfolded the banner.
[Inclined Playground]
“Is the playground tilted? Do I need to level it? It’s hard, but that’s…”
Looking at me who didn’t know anything, Mr. Ahn scratched her head.
“That is…”
He also unfolded another banner.
[Gender Equality Academy]
I couldn’t understand what the hell the sloped playground had to do with gender equality.
“They tell me to teach them something like feminism… Teachers who have sons are speechless and frustrated.”
“Hmm…”
“They say that the slanted playground is only used by boys…”
“No way.”
He shook his hand when he said that only men could use it.
“I heard that there were only girls in the flower beds and benches under the trees? In summer, even boys don’t use the playground, but it’s hot.”
“Anyway… Anyway, they said we should educate here at the library…”
He had a very embarrassed look on his face.
“If you take girls to the playground, the parents will call you, saying that the child’s clothes will get dirty, and if you let the boys play with dolls, they will draw pictures on the dolls and draw jokers and…”
“Does elementary school students know the Joker?”
“All the kids know. They say they use all kinds of swear words.”
He was grumbling now.
“If a boy plays with a doll, not a robot, the other kids tease him for being like a girl… Haven’t we ever taught him to tease him like that? They say what to do…”
Because of his position as a teacher, he was telling me things he couldn’t say outside.
“Even I’m a male teacher, so I can see what else I’m going to say, ha. Female teachers say they don’t.”
“Hmm…”
It was impossible to know the details of the teachers’ work. I was an employee in charge of facility maintenance at the school.
“Whoa, let’s install it first.”
“Oh, yes. I see.”
Having barely calmed down, he held up the banner.
The size of the banners was large and there were many of them, so it was difficult to install them.
“I’ll have to sort out the books, too.”
“Ah yes.”
After opening the box and arranging the books related to gender equality in order, I put stickers with codes on them and put them in order.
“This amount is considerable…”
Looking at the amount of books, I lamented.
“Originally, this is what teachers should do, but I don’t understand why they made it to teacher Oh.”
Since he was an employee who came for facility maintenance, it was the responsibility of the teacher in charge of organizing things like this.
“It’s okay. Well, there’s nothing to do, and the two of us would be better than doing it alone.”
At my words, Mr. Ahn made a face that was moved.
“Thank you. Now that you’re married, it won’t be hard to have a drink with you, eh.”
“Come over anytime.”
After I put all the books in, I cleaned up the trash that came out.
During a short break, I was curious about what books they were, so I read them.
There was nothing unusual about the text.
“Use nice language. Don’t distinguish male and female roles. Are these all normal?”
“The writing is right.”
It was made with large letters that made it easy for elementary school students to see.
It’s for kids, so I put it back on the bookshelf because it wasn’t fun.
“Let’s go smoke a cigarette.”
She took a cigarette from her pack, handed it to him, and went out together.
§
Joo Seo-yeon, Go Min-jeong.
“This is the amount of added classes. You have to print out the supplies and put them in the children’s bags.”
“Yes.”
When the meeting was over and I was about to get up, I called Joo Seo-yeon and Go Min-jung separately.
“Teachers, please stay for a while.”
Since she hadn’t had an accident, she sat down without thinking.
“Well, you two don’t have extracurricular activities yet, do you?”
“Yes yes.”
“Yes.”
The two did not have classes at school yet. Since I was in charge of first graders, I was mainly in charge of counseling parents.
“I’m planning to do it from the 4th grade, but can you take care of this class? Mr. Ahn is in charge, and you two are in charge.”
“Uh~. Yes~. I like it.”
“Yes!”
I even received a book related to it.
“Gender equality?”
Joo Seo-yeon burst out laughing with her blood. I wondered if I should do a separate class for this.
“My classmates are doing well enough…”
Maybe it’s because they’re still 8 years old, but everyone got along well and took classes.
Joo Seo-yeon leaned on her chin and looked at the book with pitiful eyes.
“Oh, my taxes.”
“Hey, yes, this is all our tax.”
