Chapter 178 By the way, your name is Park Ji-yeon, right?
"call!"
After taking a sip of beef soup, the good taste calmed him down temporarily. Because of the aunt, he was much more relaxed at the moment. When he stopped dwelling on this matter, Park Ji-yong's words suddenly appeared in Zheng Xiuheng's mind.
"Someone asked Jin Chengchi to do that..."
"Um?"
"Does this mean that Jin Chengji is the boss and has absolute power? If we want revenge, we should go to him?"
Zheng Xiuheng didn't know whether he had misinterpreted Park Ji-yong's meaning, but he had made a temporary decision in his mind.
“Beep!”
The phone rang. Zheng Xiuheng took out his cell phone with his left hand and saw his sister's number on it. A smile appeared on his face.
"Princess Ermao, all right!"
"Brother, if you call me that nickname again, I will move in with you even if you hit me!"
"Well, okay, Crystal Princess, what's the matter with you calling me at this time? Don't you have to train?" Zheng Xiuheng's restless heart completely calmed down. Zheng Xiujing's call came at the right time. It seems that in this world, you can't win everything and solve everything by fighting.
Sometimes you still need to use your brain.
"Yesterday, my sister and I went to see Mom and Dad. Brother... do you want to go with me?" Krystal's voice was very soft and cautious, as if she was afraid of touching something.
Zheng Xiuheng's spoon, which had just been used to scoop up the rice and soup, stopped in mid-air as he suddenly remembered the Korean custom.
If we were in China, yesterday would be the most festive Spring Festival of the year, a time when there is only joy and happiness.
But in South Korea, although there is a holiday on the Lunar New Year, the main reason is to perform traditional sacrifices, and then it is normal working hours.
It was not known how many years had passed, but Zheng Xiuheng had basically not celebrated this festival since his parents passed away. In fact, he had even forgotten it.
Zheng Xiujing's words at this moment made Zheng Xiuheng's heart ripple, not only towards Zheng Xiujing's parents, but also towards himself.
"Well, I'll go over after I'm done with my work these two days. You've already been there, so I don't want you to accompany me. But you're going to school soon, so you should make sure you adjust your schedule. Don't train too hard, and you can come to my brother's company after training for another year or two!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Brother Xiuheng, I want to go to your company too!" Cui Xueli's voice sounded from the side. It turned out that the two girls were together again.
"Hey, why don't you just stay in the company? Why are you joining in the fun?"
"Hey, what do you care about me?"
"Okay, okay, I'm talking about the future. My brother's company might go bankrupt in two years. Now you should study hard, whether it's for your dreams or your homework. I'm going to hang up now. I'm in Suwon and have work to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. Xiujing, remember not to get into trouble, and don't listen to my show at night. It's too late!"
"Oh, I see brother. But when you go to see mom and dad, remember to call me. I want to go with you. Goodbye, brother. I'm going back to the practice room first!"
"Goodbye, Brother Xiuheng!"
"Well, bye!"
Zheng Xiuheng hung up the phone, put the phone away, and continued to eat lunch. This phone call brought back many thoughts and memories for Zheng Xiuheng.
It wasn't the memories of Zheng's father and mother, nor his own beautiful and gentle mother, but the old-fashioned father who always spoke in a light tone and was occasionally serious.
“Don’t accept gifts from others casually, and don’t take things that don’t belong to you. Even if you have a good relationship with Xiuyan, you shouldn’t accept her game console!”
"Why?"
"No reason, because it's not yours, and this game console was given to Xiuyan by her parents as a birthday present. I bought it with her father a week ago!"
"Oh, so that's it. Then...I'll give it back to her!"
"No, you have already accepted someone else's gift. It is rude to return it without a reason!"
"Then... then... what should we do?"
That was the first time that Zheng Xiuheng brought home the gift given by Zheng Xiuyan, and then his father called him into the house in a very serious manner and talked to him a lot.
In fact, he didn't really understand it at that time, nor did he think it was a big deal. It was only when he heard his father say that this was Soo-yeon's birthday present that he felt he shouldn't accept it.
Later that afternoon, Zheng Xiuheng's father took him to the department store and bought the same product in another color. The next day, he gave it to Zheng Xiuyan as a belated birthday gift.
Zheng Xiuheng's father always said to him many things that he could not understand at that time. For example, when he wanted to learn a musical instrument, he would ask him many questions, such as why he wanted to learn this, whether he really liked it, and whether he wanted to persist and study for a long time. If the answer was uncertain, Zheng Xiuheng's father would immediately refuse.
If Zheng Xiuheng convinced him, then while agreeing, Zheng's father would also set a very difficult goal and warn Zheng Xiuheng that he must complete it, otherwise he would have to do an extra exercise book every week.
When Zheng Xiuheng wanted something, he always had to tell him the reason. If the reason was not valid, then he would get nothing. Otherwise... he had to meet certain academic requirements.
When Zheng Xiuheng liked the two neighbor girls to call him brother, Zheng Xiuheng's father told him that if he really wanted to recognize them as his sisters, he should remember that as a brother, he should never stand behind his sisters, but should walk in front like a big boy to protect them... Zheng Xiuheng was very weak at that time, so he could not catch up with Zheng Xiuyan in many things.
In fact, for a long time afterwards, Zheng Xiuheng didn't understand why his father was like this. But when he grew up, especially after his parents passed away, and when he was treated by Dr. Delock, he slowly understood the reason.
When the inheritance left by Zheng Xiuheng's parents was all used for treatment, the subsequent medical expenses were all paid by Zheng Xiujing's parents. After Zheng Xiuheng gradually grew up, he felt grateful but also sorry because he could not do anything. The other party kept paying for him, but Zheng Xiuheng gradually felt burdened in his heart.
It is not that you feel burdened when others do something for you, but you feel burdened when you are unable to repay those who are truly good to you and truly help you.
Zheng Xiuheng later understood that his father had always hoped that he would become a responsible person, just like his name... Conservation.
Perseverance and persistence.
A man who can always stick to himself and be responsible is what Zheng Xiuheng's father once hoped for. There are not many other memories of Zheng Xiuheng.
At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng realized that many of his behaviors were influenced by his father. For example, he didn't want to owe others anything, such as favors, and he wanted to speak calmly and without any expression on his face...
Before doing something, you must have adequate preparations and arrangements, and have the determination to complete it, rather than just wanting to do it or wanting to give it a try. Once you have made up your mind, you must go all out.
The kimchi pancake seemed to have no taste when eaten. Looking at the sunshine outside, Zheng Xiuheng suddenly missed his father who rarely smiled.
On the second day after the Spring Festival, Zheng Xiuheng's mood suddenly felt a little sour and a little sad.
"You are a boy. You can't act like a girl, nor can you be as weak as a girl. Even if you are not in good health, you must be strong inside. So if you can't do it, don't do it. If you just want to play the piano for fun, I will get rid of it tomorrow. Without determination, you will never become a pianist in your life. So, tell me now, do you want to keep practicing or give up!"
"call!"
"Determination, this kind of thing, there is too much!"
After calming down, Zheng Xiuheng, who lives in the present, will not always look back to the past. After paying the bill at the front desk, Zheng Xiuheng walked towards the west gate of Huacheng between the two roads amid the laughter of the restaurant aunt. As for the nearby Qingsong Pavilion, he would leave everything to be dealt with tonight.
Now, according to the direction and location given by the aunt, Zheng Xiuheng prepared to go for a look and take a look, and also watch the folk performances. This was the first time for him to see these things as a tourist since he came to Korea. He had participated in some live performances before, but they were mainly band accompaniment work introduced by Yoo Hee-yeol, and he seldom watched them.
The sun was at its strongest at noon, and Zheng Xiuheng, walking in the sun, looked very relaxed, with a faint smile, and then...
"Tickets, sir!"
Seeing the staff in front of the city gate asking indifferently, Zheng Xiuheng glanced at the ticket office next to him with some embarrassment.
Pass: 3,500 won.
If you just want to visit Hwaseong Palace, it costs 1,000 won for those over 19 years old, and it's free for those over 60 years old and under 6 years old.
Zheng Xiuheng bought the pass directly and stood at the gate of Hwaseomun again. Perhaps because this place is a little far from the Hwaseong Palace, there seem to be fewer tourists. Of course, it may also be because there is no parking space outside.
Zheng Xiuheng stood behind a few tourists and waited for a while before it was his turn. However, after handing over his ticket, the staff in front of him politely asked, "Only one?"
"Yes!" Zheng Xiuheng nodded as a matter of course.
"What about her?" the staff member asked, pointing at the girl who was standing one step to the side of Zheng Xiuheng and very close to him.
Zheng Xiuheng was slightly startled. He knew there was someone standing next to him, but it should be an ordinary tourist. He turned his head in confusion, which made her stunned.
A cute girl in a school uniform was looking up at him with a blushing face, and a little bit of embarrassment on her face.
Although it was a bit strange, Zheng Xiuheng thought about it and turned around to buy another pass.
"Thanks!"
Walking outside the Huaning Palace in the northwest corner of Huacheng, the girl following Zheng Xiuheng said somewhat awkwardly.
Zheng Xiuheng turned his head and looked at her strangely and asked, "Did you follow me here?"
"No, I just forgot to bring money, and I happened to see the policeman, so I..."
"Haha, I see. By the way, your name is Park Ji-yeon, right?" Zheng Xiuheng asked with a smile. He believed Park Ji-yeon's words because it was unlikely. Besides, if they really wanted to follow her, who would come out on their own initiative?
“Hah!”
