S1 » Ch 2 » In Park family..

After lying in bed for three days, Taehyung got out of bed today after feeling that he was less weak. When he went out, he could see the full view of the Park family's courtyard.

There were five mud brick houses. The main hall was placed in the middle; facing the south, there were two rooms on either side of the main hall. The yard was clean. They also had a wall, a pomegranate tree, a peach tree, thatch, and firewood piled up in the corner. On the other hand, there's a small vegetable patch; cabbage, leeks, peppers, garlic, and other vegetables were planted on the ground. Next to the vegetable patch was a chicken pen; there were 3 chickens inside the pen.

The scenery in front of him really looked like a yard from the countryside. This kind of mud brick house, even in the 21st century, this kind of house was still rare in the countryside. When Taehyung was a child, he traveled with his parents to the revolutionary base and saw similar well-preserved historical sites.

After breakfast in the morning, the Park family's labor force went to the field. The older children went to school and the young ones were brought by the adults to the field, and Taehyung was left alone in the house.

"That Lee family can be really unethical. The moment Taehyung came back, they immediately took in a new wife to come to their door. The new wife was powerful. Before she agreed, she must be presented with a marriage certificate first. After the Lee family pulls out the certificate, it will be hard for them to decide if they want a divorce."

"Hey, this is a marriage, how can you think of divorce? But if Taehyung was not too honest, his in-laws would rule him to death. How much did the new wife of the Lee family spend on the bride price?"

"Because of Taehyung's matter, their family has a bad reputation. They all say that Mrs Lee is too fierce , andthe new wife has to bear hardships when entering the door. Mrs Lee gritted her teeth and gave 38 yuan as a bride price, 30 eggs and five kilograms of soybean oil. "

"Yo, that's so generous! When Taehyung entered the door, his bride price was 20 yuan, right."

"Hey, I pity Taehyung's mother. I guess that Park Sooyoung also knew that the Lee family had taken a new wife into their home. For these two days, she was also busy looking for a husband for Taehyung. It's easy to find someone if the omega is pure, but those who have been married are always one layer away."

"No, it's not. It's either a poor bachelor or a dead wife who is old. If he leaves for other reasons, it's OK. It's also because he can't have children. Nowadays, men marry a wife just to have children. If they can't have children, how can any man want it? Is Park Sooyoung willing to marry her only omega son to a stupid one? "

"So it's a pity, I watched the omega who grew up. Not to mention his appearance, his temper was really good."

"A omega's life is like this. If he has a good life, he can live a good life. If he has a bad life, he can only suffer all his life."

"Okay, let's just say a few small talks, you can't say unpleasant words in front of the Park family, especially Taehyung. He has a tender face and a heavy mind, so he can't listen to this."

"I know, do you need to remind me of this? I don't have a grudge against him, so why do I have to say something unpleasant in front of him?"

Taehyung was sitting in the courtyard sunbathing when he heard an earful of gossip about the original owner. The sound came from the other end of the courtyard wall of his neighbour's house in the East.

Taehyung didn't fully inherit the memory of the original owner when he crossed. He only remembered some important people and things. He could not remember those little bits of the owner's memories.

Taehyung was not the original owner. Naturally, he didn't care about Lee Bogum's looking for a new wife. Now he only cares about himself, dressed as Park Taehyung, the identity of the abandoned omega. It is impossible to stay in his mother's house for whole life without getting married. Really, his brother and sister-in-law can't accommodate him easily.

But the reality is just like what the neighbor said. An abandoned omega is still unable to bear children. What kind of man can he find at this age?

Taehyung is not the original owner. It's not his native that can be satisfied with a full stomach in this era. He comes from the twenty-first century, highly educated, idealistic and, in pursuit of his other half, he also has his own aesthetic. He really can't imagine marrying an illiterate man, doesn't love cleanliness, eats and stinks when he opens his mouth. In that way, he might as well jump into the river and die again.

Park Taehyung was basking in the sun with worry. When he heard the bell in the main room strike ten times, Taehyung got up and went into the kitchen to see if he could help make a meal.

When he was a child, his parents were busy. Every summer vacation and winter vacation would send him to his grandmother's house in the countryside. He often helped his grandmother to burn a fire, so he could use the old stove in the countryside.

Taehyung looked around the kitchen and found the rice jar with the rice in it and the sweet potatoes stacked in the corner.

Taehyung came to see how the Park family cooked in the past, and in these past few days, they have always added some sweet potatoes to the rice. These days, eating rice is only available during the New Year and ancestor worship.

Taehyung had a rural homemade gourd scoop. He copied what they did, half a gourd of rice, and picked six sweet potatoes from the corner of the well to wash. The broken places were cut with a knife. Then he cut it into chunks of spare, panning the rice. He mixed the rice and sweet potatoes together in the pot, added the right amount of water, and covered the pot.

The preparation work was very smooth. That is, when the fire was lit. After all, it took some time to light the fire because it was not used to the matches of this era.

After this, the bell rang again, and half an hour had passed.

After cooking the rice, Taehyung went to the vegetable field again. He picked a cabbage from the field, pinched half a basket of leeks, selected the vegetables and washed them with the water in the well. He did not know how the Park family usually cooks, so he was afraid that she could not hold it well, so he put the clean dishes in the kitchen and waited for Park Sooyoung to come back to cook.

At eleven o'clock, Park Sooyoung was the first one to come back from the field. The work from the production team was also time-regulated, from eight o'clock in the morning to 12 noon.

Park Sooyoung came back to see her son get up from bed and cook dinner for everyone. She was not only afraid of her son's poor health but also happy how her son was affectionate and sensible.

"I was in a hurry to come back. Are you ready to cook?"

"I'm done with the rice, but I'm not done yet with the food. I washed the food and waited for mom to come back to do it together."

Park Sooyoung lifted the lid of the pot and nodded with satisfaction when she saw the white rice mixed with sweet potatoes in the pot. She didn't eat much or well.

"Very good. You've done it all. I can fry it quickly."

She turned and took out a small bowl of river shrimp from the cabinet. It was cooked shrimp with oil. When she was ready to fry leeks, she put one in.

In addition to shrimp, she also took a small pottery pot with lard in it. She bought suet and boiled it back. It was full, and only half of the pot was left.

"The cabbage is fried with some lard. There is no oil residue at home. If there are bits of oil that can be stir-fried together, it would be mouth-watering."

Taehyung has seen the power of lard. When he was a child, his grandma often made lard noodles for him. Taehyung was so small that he could eat a whole bowl every time. Grandma liked to watch him eat and said that every time she saw him to eat, everything he ate became more delicious.

Park Sooyoung stir-fried it while Taehyung was watching the fire, and secretly observing Park Sooyoung's stir-frying techniques. Taehyung was ready to follow her and learn, so as not to show their own work in the future.

The old stove starts cooking very quickly. The pot is hot. The dishes were cooked three and two times faster. The fragrant smell spreads in the air. After cooking, Park Sooyoung takes two eggs from the cabinet, breaks them up, adds some scallion and salt, and directly steams the bowl in the rice pot.

For today's meal, the dishes were grown in our own field, and the shrimp were fished from the river with their own net.

Daegu village gathers water in front and backs the mountain. It is a very suitable place for survival.

As the old saying goes, "the mountain dweller lives off the mountain, the shore dweller lives off the sea". Although the rice is not enough to eat, they could still eat a sumptuous meal from time to time. They can eat river fish and shrimp, which are wild animals living in the mountains.

(A/n: "the mountain dweller lives off the mountain, the shore dweller lives off the sea". It's an idiom. It means making the best use of local resources.)

So the most valuable part of the meal was the two eggs. Eggs can be bartered these days. The supply and marketing agency has a special collection of eggs. An egg was five cents. It is the money that rural people can get on their own initiative, in addition to work points, so it is extremely valuable.

In the memory of the original owner, under the conditions of the Lee family, eating a bowl of white rice and a bowl of scrambled eggs is also an excellent life, which makes the villagers envious. Of course, even if the Lee family has white rice and scrambled eggs, the original owner was not treated well. The original owner couldn't eat it. Otherwise, how could the original owner be skin and bones? In the 1970s, it was a year when everyone didn't have much to eat, so they were skinny. But in this era, his body was considered skinny.

Nancy and Jaemin were held by the third, wearing thick cotton-padded clothes. They had two lumps of plateau red on their faces. Jaemin seemed to have caught a cold. Two lines of green snot hung under their noses and , and kept sucking it in. It looked like two green vegetable insects.

"Taehyung is up, are you feeling better?"

The person who asked was Park Taehyung's sister-in-law Park Seokjin, the wife of Park Taehyung's older brother Park Namjoon.

Park Seokjin gave birth to his nephew Hwan and the Park family's only daughter, Nancy. She has a square face and a very strong temper. She is Park Sooyoung’s most proud daughter-in-law. She is also the leader outside the family and she is also very neat in handling affairs.

When the people are all together, they will eat. The men have a big appetite because of working hard. Each person has a large bowl of rice and sweet potatoes. Omega's bowls are smaller, and children's bowls are even smaller.

Park Sooyoung took a spoon and dug a large spoonful of steamed eggs for Taeyun and Jaemin, and also dug a spoonful for Taehyung.

Park Sooyoung handed the bowl to her husband, Park Daehyun, who shook his head. Naturally, her son and daughter-in-law were too embarrassed to grab the rest of the steamed eggs, so Park Sooyoung scraped the bowl clean and gave it to her youngest grandson, Jaemin.

Park Jieun, the second daughter-in-law, was a bit upset because her two sons, Han and Jun, were away at school, which meant that the eggs today were given only for the oldest and the third family.

Her own children did not eat the eggs, not to mention that her sister-in-law, Taehyung, was so big that he had the face to eat them, which made Park Jieun extremely irritated.

In fact, when Taehyung came back to his mother's house, Park Jieun's heart had some ideas, but she kept suppressing the careful thoughts in her heart.

At first, she also felt pity for the divorced omega who was driven out by her in-laws. She was sympathetic to her sister-in-law, but when Taehyung jumped into the river and was carried back to die, Park Jieun's sympathy for her reached its peak.

But everything in this world follows the law of "what goes around comes around, and what comes around comes around", and after this sympathy reaches its peak, it starts to go down a little.

Even if she pretends to be generous for a short time, Park Jieun cares deeply in her heart. What she thinks is right, why can't she, who earns work points in the field all day, could not eat an egg? Taehyung, her husband's omega brother, has been married once. He not only lies in bed all day and doesn't do anything, but he was also provided with delicious food and drink. Even if you ask all the 16 production brigades of Shen Commune, there is no such a person.
