Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 255: Oppa is the first person I brought home.

Qi Yaojiu asked the driver to open the trunk.

After putting his things away, Qi Yaojiu sat in the back seat.

After just one glance, Qi Yaojiu asked Li Zhien: "Did you go to the beauty salon?"

Li Zhien nodded shyly and said, "How did Oppa know?"

Qi Yaojiu ruthlessly complained: "It's much more pleasing to the eye than before."

Li Zhien said "hmm", then realized and asked Qi Yaojiu, "Oppa, are you saying that I was ugly before?"

Qi Yaojiu changed the subject: "The clothes I wear today are different from usual."

Li Zhien was immediately led astray and said with a smile: "I learned it from Hara Unnie and the others. What do you think? Doesn't it make me look more mature and more like an adult?"

All children want to grow up quickly, and Lee Ji-eun is no exception.

She had experienced a lot, and Qi Yaojiu had heard some of it but didn't understand it all.

Giving a thumbs-up, Qi Yaojiu praised, "You look more feminine."

Lee Ji-eun was very satisfied. She was wearing a white thin sweater with a high round neck today, paired with jeans and a pair of white canvas shoes.

Qi Yaojiu doesn’t know whether Goo Hara usually dresses like this, but it is a fact that this outfit lacks the childishness of a child and has more of the youthful and lively charm that is unique to a girl.

Lee Ji-eun also praised Ki Yo-gu: "Isn't Oppa too formal today? A suit and a white shirt. Although Oppa looks really handsome in a white shirt, it feels a bit too formal."

Qi Yaojiu said slowly: "The first time you meet your family, it must be formal."

IU was about to say, "It's like attending an award ceremony or some important meeting." But she stopped herself in time and didn't say it out loud.

Feelings welled up in my heart.

Qi Yaojiu usually wears casual and comfortable clothes, but today he wears a suit for himself because he cares about his family.

Qi Yaojiu glanced at Li Zhien, wondering if this little girl was too easily moved.

Qi Yaojiu still has basic etiquette and manners. If he is going to meet other people's parents or family members today, Qi Yaojiu will also dress formally.

The streets of Seoul were a little congested during the holidays. In the car, Qi Yaojiu asked some basic information about Li Zhien's parents and family.

the other side.

Tongque District, Black Stone Cave.

The top floor of a five-story building with a red brick exterior.

In the living room, a middle-aged man sat on the sofa and sorted out the ingredients for frying seafood scallion pancakes.

Smoke rises from the kitchen, and the aroma of pancakes fills the air.

"clang clang"

The middle-aged woman quickly stirred the egg liquid in the bowl with chopsticks, saying, "It's time to eat. Let's just have a quick breakfast. Mom and the others will be here soon, and Ji Eun should be here soon too."

The man stood up and walked to the kitchen and asked, "Is there no soup?"

The woman sighed and said, "I'll just make do with it this morning."

It's really a makeshift meal. If you don't have fried omelets, it's just white rice with kimchi and ice water.

After hurriedly finishing breakfast, the woman urged the man to continue preparing the ingredients, and reminded him to pay attention to hygiene.

The man glanced at the apron and saw a white shirt underneath. He was dressed very formally today, completely different from previous years. It was all because Lee Ji-eun was going to bring Ki Yo-jiu to her house to celebrate the holiday today.

There was no complaint, I just wanted to see what kind of person Qi Yaojiu was in real life.

After all, it was his daughter's first time bringing a man home, so the man unconsciously thought Qi Yaojiu was a visitor...

The woman in the kitchen had a similar idea, so today, in addition to the dishes eaten during festivals in previous years, there were also a few more dishes to go with alcohol and a Korean beef set meal.

Time disappears in the blink of an eye.

The moment the doorbell rang, the middle-aged men and women in the house quickly adjusted their clothes and hairstyles as if they were going to war.

The man stood up and responded, "Coming."

The woman walked slowly into the living room, her eyes fixed on the entrance.

"Whoo~"

As I adjusted my breathing, an inexplicable tension and anticipation surged in my heart.

The man opened the door and a voice of "Dad" came into his ears.

At that moment, both the man and the woman were stunned.

Coming back to his senses, the man quickly greeted, "Mom."

Outside the door, the 70-year-old man said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work this year."

Beside him, the middle-aged man and woman who were supporting the old man echoed: "We are so lucky this year. We can enjoy the delicious food made by my brother and sister-in-law."

The boy took the man's arm and raised his head and said, "Dad, have I grown taller?"

Another girl who was slightly older and looked about the same age as Li Zhien greeted him politely: "Hello, uncle."

"Enxi is beautiful now, come in quickly."

As they entered the house, the woman waiting in the living room also walked over quickly, greeting and chatting with the little boy, and reminded him, "Lee Jong-hoon, you better behave yourself today, don't be naughty."

Li Zhien's grandmother and others arrived first. Her uncle drove up and had been preparing since 6 o'clock in the morning. He also brought a fruit gift box and a pork rib gift box.

The two children went to the living room. Li Zhongxun immediately took the remote control to turn on the TV to watch cartoons, while Zhang Enxi sat obediently on the sofa waiting to help with housework.

Grandma and aunt went to the kitchen, and the two men exchanged a few words and went to the balcony window to smoke.

My uncle asked, "Is Big Brother nervous today?"

The man replied, "What's there to be nervous about?"

My uncle added, "Today is the first time Ji-eun has brought a member of the opposite sex home. Big brother is dressed so formally today that anyone who sees him would be nervous."

The man said casually, "Your sister-in-law asked me to dress like this, and Ji-eun brought a friend back to celebrate the holidays. That friend's hometown is in Wancai Island, which is too far away for her to go back. Don't think too much, Ji-eun is only 16 years old."

My uncle smiled very ambiguously, puffing out green smoke and saying, "That girl Enxi is in love at school. The head teacher told me that, but I didn't tell your sister-in-law."

They smiled at each other, and my uncle said, "It seems like we went through the same thing back then."

In his conversation, the uncle was talking to Li Zhien's father about the things that happened during the ignorant period of love. He meant that at the age of 16, it is normal to have a special longing for love, but it is a sad thing if no one likes you.

Although Li Zhien's father has been denying and emphasizing that they are just friends, he is also thinking that the Qi Yaojiu that Zhien brought home today is only 23 years old and not an old man. It seems...

The taxi slowly stopped at the roadside downstairs.

The road is very narrow and can barely accommodate two cars. The biggest difference from the apartment complex is that there is no underground garage, and many cars are parked in the alleys between the houses.

Lee Ji-eun, who got out of the car later, followed Ki Yo-gu to the trunk and said, "It was me who picked up Oppa, how could he pay for the fare?"

Qi Yaojiu said as he took the gift he had prepared, "Oppa is richer than you."

Li Zhien couldn't refute it because it was the truth, but she also said: "I still have the money for the fare."

After taking the things, Qi Yaojiu smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to save them for when you're hungry at night?"

Li Zhien wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qi Yaojiu: "What's going on? It's almost time and I suddenly feel nervous. Otherwise, I'd better go first. You take these things upstairs to your aunt, auntie, and grandmother."

Lee Ji-eun had learned her lesson and realized that Ki Yo-gu was teasing her. She said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I've been nervous since yesterday. Oppa is the first person I'm going to bring home."

Qi Yaojiu agreed: "Really? Then I should be proud."

Li Zhien hummed: "Yes, I can be proud."

Qi Yaojiu continued to echo: "I must be proud. I am the first person that the future superstar IU brought home."
