When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 605: Insincere Praise

Li Yihua said: "It was Ayong who cooked dinner last night. Huili, thank you."

After Huili sat down, she picked up a handful of bean sprouts and started to clean them up.

"Don't say thank you all the time, that's what he should do."

After that, she turned around and looked around: "Is President Jin not off work yet?"

Ms. Luo said: "I got off work early. I've been fascinated by repairs lately, so I went to the next door to fix the light bulb."

Jin Shanying said: "Sister, you are blessed."

She was a widow, and whenever something broke at home, she had to go to Phoenix Hall for help.

Life is better when there is a man at home.

Ms. Luo smiled and said, "What blessing? I can change a light bulb, too."

Li Yihua sighed and said, "I won't say any more. I have to go back and make dinner for the kids."

Jin Shanying said: "Sister, don't you know? They will have evening self-study starting today and can't go home until after nine o'clock."

Ms. Luo comforted her: "Don't sigh, it's okay, it will be okay."

Jin Shanying also said: "Yes, don't worry."

Huili said, "Until the pathology results come out, nothing is certain, so don't stress yourself out."

Ms. Luo said: "Yes, my sister also went for a chest pathology examination and found that it was just a blister. There is no need to worry."

Kim Sun-young asked, “When will the results be out?”

Li Yihua said softly, "This Saturday, because I have been feeling uneasy, the doctor said he would tell me in advance, and he would notify me by phone."

Afterwards, she seemed to be looking for confidence and asked, "Sister, I think everything will be alright."

Ms. Luo said loudly: "Of course, it will be fine. You really have nothing to worry about."

Li Yihua said: "I know, but I just feel uncomfortable."

Huilian smiled and said, "I see, you are just daydreaming, and nothing has become something. How about we play karuta tonight? Relax."

Ms. Luo agreed: "That's good, I'll go get the cards."

Li Yihua wondered, "Aren't you going to clean up the soybean sprouts? I still have to cook for them."

Ms. Luo said: "We women can relax today and let the men cook dinner. If they can't cook, don't eat."

Jin Shanying smiled and said, "Sister, I can only play until eight o'clock."

Huili said, "Just play as long as you can."

Several people put down the bean sprouts in their hands and went to the living room to find a good seat.

Time slowly came to eight o'clock.

After playing a few rounds of flower cards, Li Yihua felt much more comfortable.

She looked at the good sisters around her and felt a little moved.

"I don't want to play anymore. I'm a little tired. I want to go home and rest for a while."

At nine o'clock, the children will be out of school.

You can’t really not cook for the kids.

Just play a few hands of cards and relax.

Ms. Luo looked at the time and said, "Oh, Jung-hwan should be back soon."

Huili said, "Sister, is your President Jin missing? Didn't he say he was going to change the light bulb? It's been such a long time."

Ms. Luo rolled her eyes and said, "Leave him alone."

A few people packed up their card games and walked out the door.

I happened to meet Cheng Dongri who was returning home.

I saw a paper bag under his armpits, which was the fish cakes he bought when he went home.

Last night, I saw President Jin buying fish cakes for his wife.

After get off work today, he bought a bag.

"Hey, how did you get out of there?"

"She had been in her room all day, so I asked her to come out for coffee," Ms Luo explained.

Huili said, "Yeah, relax."

Kim Sun-young smiled and said, "I'll go back first." It was time for her to go to work.

Sung Dong-il bowed and said, "Thank you so much."

Huili said, "I'm going to go back and cook for Ayong, you guys chat."

Ms. Luo said, "Go ahead, go ahead."

Cheng Dongri waved goodbye and turned to say, "Wife, smile. I said it's nothing. I'm not worried at all. You really are."

Ms. Luo gently touched Li Yihua with her arm, trying not to smile.

When they were playing flower cards in the house just now, Li Yihua was the one who smiled the most.

When everyone plays cards, they give in to her.

Therefore, she won many times.

As long as you win, you will be happy.

Ms. Luo said, "What did you buy?"

Li Yihua said, "You bought random things again?"

Cheng Dongri smiled and said, "I bought some fish cakes. Let's eat some together when we get home."

He raised the paper bag in his hand.

Just then, President Jin came up from the stairs wearing white gloves and holding a broken light bulb.

His light bulb was finally replaced, but it took a little time.

President Jin raised his right hand and shouted, "Hey, President Cheng."

Sung Dong-il looked disdainful, but still cooperated: "Hey, President Kim."

The two of them performed a strange greeting gesture.

Sung Dong-il asked, “How did you get out from there?”

President Jin held up the light bulb in his hand and explained, "The light bulb was broken, so I fixed it."

He shook the bulb and continued, "Did you hear that? The cord is broken. I've fixed it. The light will definitely be bright."

With a proud look on his face, he looked towards Ms. Luo, seeking praise.

However, Ms. Luo showed a look of disgust.

It's just changing a light bulb, but you're showing off all the time.

"I know, I know."

Li Yihua said, "We thought you were lost. It took so long to change the light bulb."

Cheng Dongri said, "Changing a light bulb is nothing big. In my house, Yuhui can change that thing with his eyes closed."

Yu Hui: I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.

Hearing this, the smile on President Jin's face slowly disappeared and he no longer looked at Sung Dong-il.

He turned around and said, "Wife, do you know what happened last night? Paula's father, he..."

Cheng Dongri said quickly, "Oh, how come you are so good at it? Edison only knew how to invent things. He probably wouldn't even be able to change a light bulb."

After all, President Jin saw all of last night's ugly behavior.

He didn't want anyone else to know.

I can only praise President Jin against my will.

President Jin had a smug look on his face, and his eyes revealed that he wanted to continue.

Cheng Dongri's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued, "So, people with skills have different looks. Not just anyone can run an electrical appliance agency."

These words made President Jin's mouth grin from ear to ear.

When can I hear praise from Sung Dong-il?

Sure enough, it feels good to have someone else's handle in your hand.

Can I use this handle to exchange for ginseng wine?
He has been craving for Dongri's ginseng wine for a long time.

Li Yihua put her hands in her pockets and said, "It's too cold. I'm going back first."

Ms. Luo said, "Go back quickly."

Looking at Li Yihua's back, Ms. Luo turned around and asked, "Are you really okay? I'm a little worried."
