Chapter 226 Why is it so expensive?
After the recording of "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook", Kwon Ji-yong, who always maintains a high level of enthusiasm on the show, returned to the backstage and started hugging Ye-eun and acting coquettishly.
He hugged Ye-eun's waist face to face, resting his chin on her shoulder, and while waiting for Lee Tae-hee to pack up, he muttered, "I'm so sleepy."
He had a concert yesterday and rushed back to Korea overnight. Apart from a few hours of rest on the plane, he hardly had any rest. However, when facing work, he always wants to show his best to everyone.
Sitting during the interview didn't consume much energy, but after the last few singing performances, when he gracefully left the stage, Ye Eun saw that his forehead was covered with sweat.
Even though this was considered their normal state, Ye-en couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
She patted Quan Zhilong on the back and said, "Close your eyes and rest for a while. Wait for Tae Hee Oppa for a few minutes. I'll be back soon."
Quan Zhilong hummed softly, and like a little koala hugging a piece of wood to rest, he buried his head in the crook of her neck and closed his eyes to rest.
The staff passing by walked lightly. Quan Zhilong had just changed several sets of clothes after several performances, and now they were carefully checking every small accessory.
After all, Quan Zhilong has many and diverse accessories.
After counting the items quickly and quietly in a few minutes, Lee Tae-hee and Kwon Ji-yong's assistant waved to Ye-eun.
She patted Quan Zhilong's back gently and said, "Let's go."
Quan Zhilong nodded, childishly without opening his eyes, and hugged her and joked, "Babe, let's just go like this, I'm so sleepy."
"Shall I hug you?" Ye-eun's eyes narrowed, and she put her hands on his waist and exerted force. However, she failed to lift him up, but did startle Kwon Ji-yong.
He immediately opened his eyes, feeling angry and amused, "If you can hold me, then hold me."
Kwon Ji-yong looks thin, but he still has some muscles because he goes to the gym regularly for touring. What's more, he is ten centimeters taller than Ye-eun, so it's amazing that Ye-eun can lift him up in the air.
She smiled with her eyes crooked, "Then you are tired, I will carry you away."
"Just you, don't let me fall." Quan Zhilong shook his head helplessly, let go of her and then held her hand.
After returning home, the two of them took a nap. When Yi Eun woke up, it was already dark outside the window, and Kwon Ji-yong was still asleep. She lay quietly on the bed for a while, not even in her right mind until Jia Hu and Julie carefully poked their heads through the crack in the door. Then she came out of Kwon Ji-yong's arms.
Quan Zhilong moved his body, and before he opened his eyes in a daze, he heard his own daughter's voice.
He turned over and raised his hands to cover his ears with the quilt until his mother's voice came in.
Quan Zhilong sat up suddenly, rested on the bed for two seconds, and then walked to the living room in slippers.
Jia Hu and Zhu Li, who had been sent to their parents' house because they were both on tour, immediately rushed over, each one more enthusiastic than the other, grabbing at his trouser legs. Quan Zhilong bent down and touched their heads, but his eyes glanced at his girlfriend who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Ye-eun had just woken up, still wearing her cute pajamas. She listened attentively to the conversation between Ou Ma and Noona, with her hair standing on end. Quan Zhilong couldn't help but curl his lips. He walked directly to her, sat on the armrest of her sofa, raised his hand and scratched her hair, "Ou Ma, Noona."
The two parents who came to send their furry kids off and take a look at the two other children smiled and shook their heads helplessly.
The ahoge that was already standing up straightened even more. He glanced at Yien with a smirk. The other two couldn't help but curl their lips. Yien looked up at him and raised her hand to press on her head. In an instant, the ahoge was pressed down. "Just now the manager said that these three communities were selected first. Which one do you like better?"
Quan Zhilong then started to think about business. He took Yeen's phone and flipped through it. The three communities are all famous wealthy areas in South Korea. One is located in Cheongdam-dong, one is in Itaewon, and the other is in Seongsu-dong. He carefully looked at the layout and community environment, and finally clicked on the one in Seongsu-dong, "Let's go take a look at this one first."
Yien nodded. Kwon Ji-ryong had been thinking about buying a house this year, but due to his schedule he had never had time to look at any houses. And these few days were a rare time when they were free, so they naturally put this matter on the agenda again.
This was the first time the children had bought a house, and it was a big deal, so Han Jilan was naturally a little worried. However, when she saw her son hugging Yien and looking down at the house with the look on his face as he carefully analyzed the artworks and furniture he wanted to buy, she felt that her son had really grown up.
It wasn't until she opened their refrigerator that the scene inside the refrigerator immediately made her frown.
There was beer and drinks that her son liked to drink, fruits and yogurt that Ye-en liked to eat, and nothing else that could be put into the pot except two packs of instant noodles that were placed in the refrigerator for some reason.
She squatted down and looked at the freezer. There were ice cubes, popsicles, and fruits that were frozen for unknown reasons. Han Jilan took out the frozen strawberries in confusion, "How can you eat this?"
Yi-eun turned her head quickly and met her aunt's confused eyes. She said seriously as if she was making an oath: "Iced fruit is really delicious! Aunt, please try it."
"..." Han Jilan glanced at her and stuffed a frozen strawberry into her mouth half-doubtingly. The crunchy feeling and the sugar locked in after being frozen really made Han Jilan's eyes light up, even though she didn't like eating fruits like her son.
However, thinking of the refrigerator for the two children, she couldn't help but scold them: "There is nothing else except these messes. Even if you don't like others coming to your house, you should tell your aunt and she will bring you some food you like."
Ye-eun coquettishly rested her chin on the back of the sofa, "Aunt is very hard every time she comes. We will order food when we are hungry."
"...Ordering food is so unhygienic." Han Jilan shook her head helplessly, "I'll buy you some food that can be kept for a longer time and put it in the refrigerator. When you're hungry, ask Zhilong to make some for you."
Kwon Ji-yong glanced at the smirking Kwon Da-mi and shrugged helplessly. With Yi-eun's cooking skills, only he could cook.
However, my mom came to see them specially, and they asked their elders to go shopping for groceries, which they couldn't do. Quan Zhilong patted Yien's head, turned to his mom and said, "Let her and I go buy it, and you can just send us the list."
"...Are you guys okay?" Han Jilan glanced at the two of them and always felt that it was not reliable to let these two children go shopping.
Ye-eun nodded proudly, "Of course you can. There aren't many people in the supermarket in the neighborhood, and it's all open to the public. What's the problem with buying groceries together?"
Quan Damei also smiled and said to her mother: "Although they will not have many opportunities to cook for themselves in the future, it is good to experience this kind of life."
Looking at the two children who were fighting to see who would go out first, Han Jilan frowned and was very worried: "I must have been mistaken just now when I thought my son had grown up..."
Quan Duomei couldn't help laughing when she saw the two people playing and fighting. She knelt on the sofa and took a picture of their backs, "Ai Gu, it's good not to grow up."
She supported her chin and thought about her younger brother who would pick up the most beautiful leaf in autumn and put it at her door saying it was a gift, and her younger sister who would secretly ask her aunt, a shop assistant, to bring her hot drinks during her menstrual period. It would be great if they could continue to be like this even after their debut.
"Even if they are big stars, they are still the youngest members of our family." She looked at her idol mother and tilted her head. "You will be sad if they don't cause trouble for you or act cute with you one day."
Han Jilan smiled helplessly and shook her head, holding up the frozen strawberries in her hand and pretending to be angry, "You dare to cause trouble for me? I will punish them by making them kneel in the corner like when they were little."
The two people who hadn't been to the supermarket for a long time looked up at the partition above the supermarket with serious faces, "Where to go first? My mom said to buy more vegetables and meat..."
"Don't worry, where is the buy one get one free section?" Yien carefully looked at the sign above and was disappointed to find that there was no buy one get one free in the supermarket in this community. She frowned and said, "This is a high-end community. This is too stingy!"
Occasionally, residents of the community passed by and just watched from afar when they saw the two of them holding hands while shopping in the supermarket. Quan Zhilong suppressed a smile and said, "I guess the better the community, the less discount areas there are..."
Yien pouted and looked around in confusion, "Forget it, let's go take a look first."
The two who had said they wanted to buy vegetables and meat first came to the snack area without saying a word but in perfect tacit agreement. Ye-eun squatted in front of the shelf and picked out her favorite snacks, muttering as she picked, "Are these things so expensive?"
Quan Zhilong half bent over beside her and looked at her for a long time, also a little hesitant, "Have prices increased so fast in recent years? Wasn't this shrimp stick only 2,000 won when we were still trainees?"
Ye-eun paused as she took a look at the 6,000 won price tag, then looked up at Quan Zhilong with a serious expression, "Are you sure?"
"...Not sure." Quan Zhilong lowered his head and picked up a bag of shrimp crackers. He flipped through it and looked a little hesitant. "Maybe the brand is different?"
"I'll ask Shihua Agassi." Yeen lowered her head and took a photo of the shrimp cracker, then sent it to the D agency reporter. While waiting for a reply, she spoke seriously, "I don't dare to ask my mom and aunt. He's the only one around me who might know the latest prices."
Quan Zhilong also squatted down, his eyes serious, "If he doesn't know, I'll ask Tae Hee again. He actually knows how much 20 kilograms of rice costs. Isn't that amazing?"
"Wow, he eats 20 kilograms of rice by himself? How long can he eat that? Isn't he single?" Yien looked sincere, "Jilong, come to think of it, did auntie not realize that we don't have any rice at home?"
Quan Zhilong's eyes curved as he looked at the shopping list his mom had sent him. Indeed, rice was not listed on it. "I really didn't notice it."
The two of them looked natural, and Pu Shihua, who received the message, was excited when he saw the word "salary increase" until he saw the message from the other party.
He was confused for a second. Could they be recording a competition show? Fearing that he would delay Yi-en's "big event", he quickly called his little daughter over and said, "Daughter, do you know how much this bag costs?"
After he quickly replied to the message, Ye-eun put the snacks in the shopping cart back one by one with a serious face. She said to Quan Zhilong who was doing the same thing: "Do we have to pay taxes to bring these things into the community? Why are you selling them to us at such a high price!"
Although Quan Zhilong didn't care about the small amount of money, he nodded seriously when he saw Yien's serious face. He suppressed a smile and said, "The fresh food is indeed worth the price, but it's too much to charge three times the price for the same snacks. If you have money, you deserve to be cheated by them! Let's go out and buy some!"
Ye-eun also nodded, pouting, with a bit of happiness on her face: "Let's buy those when we get back, and buy these outside. The supermarket outside should have buy one get one free, let's go check it out! It's been a while since I went to get a bargain!"
The two returned to the garage, Quan Zhilong turned the steering wheel, and the expensive luxury car drove straight to the affordable supermarket outside the community.
