Chapter 892 – [Storm’s Parenting Diary]
When I arrived at the ski resort, the first thing I saw was a mountain covered in snow over there. There are numerous people skiing down the sloping downhill road with white snow on the road.
It’s not a white Christmas, but it’s pretty nice to see there’s snow. Even though Eden had seen snow before, it was the first time he had ever seen snow everywhere, so as soon as he arrived at the ski resort, he rolled his feet in the car and shouted cheers.
“Wow!!!! There is so much snow!!!!!!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go and play.”
“Uh!!!!!”
It is enough to eat the lunch box that I forgot at the rest area earlier, and the rest is enough to play to my heart’s content.
I parked the car and entered the ski resort in earnest with the two of us. Eden showed curiosity at the strange sight he had never seen in his life and asked while watching the lift moving far away.
“Dad!!!! What is that?”
“That’s a lift. People who want to ski or board ride it to go up to a higher place.”
“At a high place?”
As I gave Eden a ride, I showed him a high place in the mountain far away where the lift was connected.
Eden cheered as he watched people skiing or boarding down from a great height.
“It’s so high!!!!!!”
“If Eden learns to ski or board later, he can ride there”
“Can’t you ride now?”
“Eden is too young to ride”
First of all, there will be no ski equipment that fits Eden. Although Eden is said to have grown significantly compared to his peers, the equipment he lends is based on the lowest price for elementary school students. It would be a little big for the current Eden to write.
“If Eden wanted to ski, Eden would have made and brought ski equipment for himself.”
“Even if you make it, considering the growth rate of Eden, you won’t be able to use it a few times. It’s much better to borrow it after it’s grown a little. I think it’ll be done by next year at the earliest.”
“Well, our Eden grows differently every day.”
Anyway, even though I couldn’t borrow ski equipment, I was able to borrow a sled. I borrowed two sleds because it seemed like I was borrowing too many to borrow for the number of people, and Eden wasn’t the only one riding.
“If we all go up together, shouldn’t the two of us ride together?”
“I’m riding with Eden”
“I also want to ride a sleigh with Eden.”
“Then, I’ll be alone later……Ah”
No, why is it not embarrassing to ride a sleigh alone at this age?
Of course, even adults can ride the sled alone. It’s not like it’s dictated by law. Just a look…
I just have to wait at the bottom when Shion and Eden ride together.
“The sled is so big!!!!!!”
“It’s bigger than our Eden. Eden must still have a long way to go to grow bigger than this.”
The sled was a wide plastic sled. Although it is light, it is quite heavy due to its size, so it is quite difficult for a child to lift.
However, there is a part of the string that is used like a rein when riding, so if you put it on the floor and drag it, you can drag even Eden to some extent. The ski slope is covered with snow, so it must be easy to drag.
“Then shall we go sledding, Eden?”
“Uh!!!!!”
We took the sled and headed to the sledding range.
The sledding slope next to the ski resort was for kids, so the slope wasn’t that steep or high, but instead it was long. Although the line to go up was long, it was rather good because you could enjoy the part going down as well.
“Can’t you ride high?”
“At high places… Well, can I ride? I’m not sure.”
Even as he went up to ride the sleigh, Eden’s eyes were on the advanced course up there.
Well, it’s fun to come down cool from such a high place, so I’m skiing or boarding. It was no different with a sleigh.
However, unlike sledding slopes with separate descending lines, there was no such thing there, so there was a risk of bumping into each other.
Well, let’s ride here a few times, buy a lift ticket, and go up. If you think about it, even Eden would want to ride the lift at least once.
The line was a little long, so it took a while to get on, but it didn’t take that long as more than ten people went down at once. I ride the sleigh with Eden, and Shion rides the sleigh alone and sits side by side.
“Yes, please hold the line straight. I will go down when I hear the whistle.”
I seated Eden between my legs and held the sled’s line. And Eden also holds the line with his small hands.
“Ohhhhh!!! Hurry up! Hurry up!”
“Wait a minute. The whistle hasn’t sounded yet.”
“Hurry!!!!!!”
Even though I could go down the slope with a slight movement of my hips, waiting was a huge torture for an impatient child. Eden urges me to go down quickly.
Soon a whistle sounds. As if more than ten people had waited, they pushed the floor and went straight down the slope. Then, along the snow, it slides down as it is.
A cold wind hits your face. The sled runs through the sledding range at a fairly high speed and reaches the bottom of the sledding range within a few seconds.
“It’s so thin!!!! It’s so thin!!!!!”
“Did you enjoy it, Eden?”
“Ooh!!!! I want to ride again!!!!!!”
It takes about 10 minutes and the ride is only a few seconds, but it’s fun nonetheless. No, maybe it’s even more special because there’s a waiting time.
And Shion came down on a sleigh as well. His face is expressionless as usual, but he has a pleasant expression that only I can recognize.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been sledding like the kids, so it’s fun.”
“No, it looks like a real kid.”
“Sledding Sliding!!!!”
“Billion!!!! My shin bone!!!!!!”
It might have been because she was wearing thin clothes, but the current Shion is wearing warm clothes because of the cold, so only her face can be seen.
At least when the lines of her body are revealed, there are traces of Eden’s enlarged breasts from breastfeeding, so a person with an eye for eyes might think she’s a very short adult, but now, wrapped up tightly, they look like Eden and her sisters.
It’s a really bad situation for Shion, who doesn’t like being treated like a kid.
“Let’s go riding again!!!!!!”
“My daughter, this time I’m riding with my mom.”
“Uh!!!!!”
This time, Shion and Eden decided to ride together.
She waits at the end of the line again. The waiting time must have been boring, but seeing other people riding down the sled was refreshing, so it passed quickly.
But when it was our turn, the line was vaguely cut. Even if there are three of us, we will ride one by two, so there are two teams, but there is still room for one team in front.
“Ride first, I’ll ride next”
“Then let’s see you below”
I gave up my seat to two people and let them get in first. It didn’t mean much because we were going to ride anyway, but it was good to ride a little first.
After sending the two of them away and waiting for the next episode, someone called from behind.
“It looks like you came to play with your family?”
“Oh, yes. It’s Christmas.”
The person who spoke to me was a middle-aged man, the father of a five or six-year-old boy. He probably spoke out of a sense of kinship with the father of the same child.
“I came out with my family after a while. The older one went skiing with her mother, but the younger one couldn’t ski yet, so she came to sled.”
“It’s like that at my house. But my kid is interested in whether or not he wants to go sledding on an advanced skiing course. Maybe it’s because he likes heights.”
“If that’s the case, there’s a separate lift that goes up to the sledding rink over there at the lift. It’s not bad to go that way because you can ride at a fairly high place.”
“Really? Thanks for letting me know.”
I knew something good. There was not one lift, but several, so I thought it was divided according to height, but one was just a lift for sledding.
Most of the ski resorts I went to were lifts only for skiing or boarding, so I had no idea. The world is changing for the better.
“It’s been a while since I’ve spent time with my family like this…….. Actually, it’s Christmas today, but I had to go to work without fail because I had work at work. My little boy told Santa that he wanted to go skiing with her dad as a Christmas present. I see”
“Are you Santa?”
“Yes, at first I thought it was some kind of scam or some kind of bad lie, but it’s really strange, isn’t it?”
This is where the Santa effect comes into play. Sometimes the best gift for children is family time, so Santa solves many problems to give it.
I don’t think it’s too great, but if you think about ending the civil war by breaking the arms and legs of the rebels, it’s not that unusual.
“I never thought I would believe in Santa at my age, but it seems like it really happened.”
“I will. I don’t know what the world will be like.”
There is too much evidence to deny otherwise.
Especially if you are a family with children. At least, if there is a lump of coal that is unlikely to exist even in a family with a child in half, you have no choice but to believe in the existence of Santa.
People get used to the existence of Santa and the existence of the transcendent. If this is the case, the shock when this ability comes out more brightly later can be lessened.
The world develops that way. As you expand your awareness and gain knowledge. This civilization in 100 years will be more advanced than a civilization purely based on science and technology.
“Yes, the next person will come in!!!”
Then it was my turn to ride down the sled. It’s embarrassing and not fun to ride alone, but if you ask if it’s not worthwhile going up, it’s not meaningless because Eden had to carry the sled.
When I went downstairs, Zion and Eden were waiting for me. It would be fine if I went first and stood in line, but I was waiting for me on purpose.
“I could have gone first, but were you waiting?”
“Eden said he wanted to ride with you this time.”
“I want to ride with my dad!!!!!!!!!!”
“Hey, does my daughter like her dad that much?”
It’s not bad to take turns riding with Shion, and I heard from the guy earlier that there was a place where I could ride on a higher slope, so I thought it would be better to ride there a few times and then go there.
When I told Shion about it, Shion also nodded her head in agreement.
“If so, Eden will like it too.”
“Where?”
“I’m talking about being able to ride a sleigh at a higher place on that lift.”
“It’s high! I like it!!!!!! I want to go!!!!!!”
There is a distance from here to that side, so it would be better to ride it for a while until you get tired of being here and then go that way. It’s short, but it’s because it’s such fun as it’s short.
I’m about to stand in line again, but I smell a familiar smell along with the smell of burning. Maybe the smell is coming this way because the direction of the wind has changed? Eden reacted like a ghost and looked where the smell came from.
“It smells delicious!!!!!!”
“It looks like roasted sweet potatoes are being baked somewhere.”
“Looks like there’s a store that sells them, right? Shall we go and buy some?”
“Sweet potato!!!!!!!”
Roasted sweet potatoes eaten here are also special. For personal taste, I need kimchi or dongchimi for roasted sweet potato, but honestly, it’s delicious even if I eat it as is.
It feels like cutting a sweet potato in half and eating a bite of steam rising from a snowy place. Big!!!!!!
I rode the sleigh a few times, so it’s a short break. We went to the place where the smoke from roasting sweet potatoes was rising and bought sweet potatoes. Even though adults are used to it, Eden looked at it with strange eyes because it was a remodeled drum that is unfamiliar to children these days.
“I bought some sweet potatoes and something to drink.
“It can’t be helped. In places like this, wallets open easily, so you have to aim for them and do business.”
Buy some roasted sweet potatoes and share them with everyone. Cut the hot sweet potato that you just took out in half and blow it on and give it to Eden. Eden takes off her gloves, takes a sweet potato, and takes a big bite.
“Delicious!!!!!!”
“Yes, Eden, isn’t it delicious?”
“Wow!!!! The sweet potato is delicious!!!!!!”
I was happy to see Eden’s happy expression and bit into a sweet potato. Originally, I’m the type to eat sweet potatoes, even the peel, but I don’t know how hygiene was managed when they sell them in places like this, so I take them off and eat them.
After a short break while eating sweet potatoes, I drink something to drink, and when I am digested to some extent, I go to the sledding again. First of all, I will go to the sledding rink for kids and then go to the lift.
I went to the line and stood in line, and suddenly found that the person in front of me was the man I was talking about earlier. While we were eating the roasted sweet potato, it must have already been burned a few more times. And they smiled and greeted us as if they had found us.
“Huh? See you again like this?”
“I bought some snacks for a while, but I didn’t expect to meet you like this. Oh, there’s a sweet potato store over there, have you seen it?”
“It smelled like roasted sweet potatoes…But which side was it on?”
“From the exit of the sledding rink, go all the way to the left. It’s expensive because it’s a place, but the roasted sweet potato you eat at a place like this is more special.”
“That’s right. Personally, I like to eat kimchi with roasted sweet potatoes.”
“Oh, me too”
Uncle’s taste seems to be common everywhere. I wonder if kimchi would go well with sweet potato, but nutritionally, it’s pretty good, and above all, it’s a combination of sweet and salty.
People in the past have known the extreme meaning of sweet, salty, sweet and salty combinations for such a long time……..!!!!!
Anyway, as we exchanged information we knew each other, a strange friendship developed. I think I met a pretty good relationship.
“But the kids are really cute. They seem to be sisters, right? Has the mother gone somewhere else?”
“Yes?”
I suddenly looked back. There are Eden and Shion, who seem to be about a few years older than each other.
Eden looks taller than his age, and Shion looks much younger than his age.
To others, she is definitely a sister. If Eden is bigger, she’ll hear Shion and her twins.
I told him because I thought I needed to correct his misunderstanding.
“The big one is the housekeeper”
“…………..Yes?”
“The smaller one is the daughter and the bigger one is the housekeeper.”
For an instant, the friendly uncle’s eyes became colder than the accumulated snow at the ski resort or the winter mountain wind.
Ah, the eyes of contempt for the Pedo kid are long gone.
