When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 174 The Kindness of Neighbors
As Paula's words echoed in the air, everyone's movements froze for a moment.

The chopsticks in their hands stopped in mid-air and their eyes turned to Li Renyong.

From what he said, it seems that Ayong put his finger into Sister Paula's mouth?

Oh my goodness.

How dare he.

No wonder Sister Paula beat him so hard just now.

Everyone showed surprise on their faces, and Deok-sun looked at Lee In-yong in disbelief, as if she was confirming whether what Bora said was true.

Paula glanced at everyone domineeringly and said, "Why are you looking at me? Eat."

Although they were surprised, everyone lowered their heads and continued to eat the food in front of them.

Li Renyong didn't expect Paula to joke. He smiled awkwardly and said, "They say it was unintentional. Try this oyster."

Paula nodded and ate the oysters.

"How about it?"

"Yeah, it tastes better than raw."

"Of course, I baked it."

Li Renyong took the chopsticks and tried to pick up the ribs, but he was always just a little bit short.

He frowned and adjusted the angle, but still couldn't pick it up.

It's not fun.

No, I have to go home and get my regular chopsticks.

While gnawing on the ribs, Deok-sun skillfully picked up a piece of ribs and placed it on Li Renyong's plate.

"If you can't pick it up, just use your hands."

Paula glanced at her, somewhat dissatisfied, wondering why she wanted to take her job away.

Aze also pretended that he was not used to chopsticks. He tried several times but failed to pick it up.

Liu Donglong picked up the ribs and put them in his bowl and said, "Here you go. All of them are yours."

Junghwan and Sunwoo also helped him pick up delicious food, and soon, the bowl was full of food.

Aze secretly glanced at Deshan and saw that she was eating the ribs heartlessly and didn't care about him at all.

Li Renyong smiled and said, "I was going to give it to Paula, so of course I couldn't use my hands."

Deok-sun curled her lips, and you both put your fingers into Bora's mouth.

Paula smiled and said, "No, just eat it."

Li Renyong stood up and said, "I'll go back and get the chopsticks. Don't eat it all. Leave some for me, especially for you, Deshan."

After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.

Deshan muttered softly, "Of course I know."

Zhenghuan and others knew everything about Li Renyong's chopsticks.

They go to school together every day and eat lunch together.

Naturally, I know that Li Renyong’s chopsticks are different from those of others.

Therefore there was no expression of surprise on their faces.

……

Luo Meilan looked at Li Renyong's figure and said, "What is Yong going to do?"

Huili smiled and said, "I guess he went home to get chopsticks. I don't know why he likes round chopsticks, the kind that are square on top and round on the bottom."

President Jin handed a piece of braised pig's trotter to Luo Meilan and said, "I know, those are Chinese chopsticks."

Teacher Liu said: "It's all the same. As long as they can be used to eat, they are good chopsticks."

Cheng Dongri took a spoon, scooped a glass of wine from the jar, and drank it directly.

President Jin smiled and said, "Why are you drinking alone? I'll have a drink with you."

After drinking it, he said, "How is it? I used three wild ginseng roots to soak for a long time."

Cheng Dongri smacked his lips and said, "It's strong, but it's a very enjoyable drink."

President Jin raised the cup in his hand and said, "For Paula, let's drink together."

Everyone raised their glasses happily, even Huili drank some.

After they finished drinking, Teacher Liu said, "You look a little unhappy after drinking."

Several men lived in an alley for so many years and often drank together.

Everyone's drinking habits are well known. Sung Dong-il drinks alone, except when he drinks with others. He never drinks alone.

President Jin said, "Today is a big day for your family, how can you not be happy? Come, have a drink."

Then he continued in a low voice: "I have another jar, which I secretly hid. It's enough for you."

Although the sound was very small, it was heard by everyone.

Luo Meilan was not angry about President Jin's hiding of wine, but said, "Yes, you men should drink to your heart's content today."

Huili lowered her head to think for a while, then raised her head again and understood.

She placed her hand on Li Yihua's and said, "Don't worry, I will help you."

After these words were spoken, the others, who were not stupid, understood.

This is worrying about tuition fees.

Everyone in the alley knows the situation of Bao La's family.

Fenghuangtang smiled shyly and said, "I can help a little."

Others all offered to help.

It’s not easy for a college student to come out of a hutong.

Li Yihua sat on the chair, her eyes gently sweeping across everyone's face.

Feeling the kindness of my neighbors, my eyes became a little moist.

Money, is it important?
Very important.

But the most valuable asset is having these neighbors.

She wiped the corners of her eyes gently and said with a smile: "It's all Ayong's fault. Why did you cook the oysters so spicy? It made me cry."

Li Renyong doesn't know that he is taking the blame yet.

Sung Dong-il was drinking, feeling a little happy inside, and said loudly, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Paula might still have a scholarship."

He was also very touched, but as a person who cared a lot about his reputation, he could not express his deep gratitude.

Huili smiled and said, "Well, what Yong made is indeed a bit spicy."

Cheng Dongri took the oyster and ate it in one bite.

"Ginseng wine tastes good. I'll get a jar of it later."

President Jin smiled and said, "Sure, it's ready, let's drink it together, but how do you prepare the wild ginseng?"

The topic quickly turned to wine.

Cheng Dongri smiled and said, "The section chief of our unit has a few wild ginsengs. I'll get one later."

……

Li Renyong took the chopsticks and returned to his seat.

Deshan saw Li Renyong coming back, reached out and took a piece of pork ribs and put it in his mouth.

Liu Donglong smiled and said, "Ayong, Deshan hasn't eaten any spareribs because she's been waiting for you."

Hey?
really?
You know, spare ribs are Deok-sun's favorite food.

Li Renyong was a little surprised and picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Deshan's bowl and said, "Eat more."

Then he picked up another yellow croaker and put it in his bowl.

He kept picking out the meat and putting it on Paula's plate.

Throughout the whole process, his eyes were full of care.

Paula ate the fish naturally, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

The others ignored the two and were all struggling for the food in front of them.

Deok-sun, on the other hand, glanced at the two of them.

Junghwan and Aze would sneak a peek at Deoksun from time to time.

At this moment, Zhenghuan's heart was thundering.

Do you want to give Deok-sun something to eat?

As soon as this thought came up, it was extinguished by Zhenghuan.

No, there are so many people here.

But how could Yong dare to pick up food for Sister Paula, and also picked up food for Deok-sun.
