Chapter 856 – [Storm’s Parenting Diary]
Ji-hee ate the egg porridge I made and slept soundly as if her physical strength had recovered considerably.
However, if there is something unexpected, it is that Eden entered the guest room in the meantime.
I was honestly surprised. Eden, who was supposed to be sleeping downstairs, picked her up and no one brought her, but she came all the way here.
“No?!?! How did Eden get in?!?!?!”
“I definitely put it in the first floor room!!!!!”
“Hey!!!!!”
Eden’s voice resonates throughout the room.
It was okay because Ji-hee was sleeping in the middle of eating, but it was a voice that would have woken him up if he had been sleeping lightly.
I’m glad you’re sleeping deeply. If I was awake, it would hurt for nothing, but I have to play with Eden.
“My daughter, how did you get here?”
“Come over here!!!!”
“Did you even climb the stairs?! Good job, my daughter!!!!!!”
“Oh, if my daughter-in-law walked in, it would have been great!!!! It’s okay!!!!!!”
Even though Eden is now a year old, she has climbed the steps of our house on her own.
It was very proud of him to have crossed at least twenty steps on his own. No, how hard it is for a child to climb one step!!!!!!
Anyway, Eden strode and she came to Ji-hee who was sleeping in the middle of the night. And she asks me as I watch her in her sleep profusely in her sweat.
“Hey Koza?”
“I’m sleeping on my nose because I’m sick. So should I let him sleep?”
“How sick?”
“Yeah, unnie, I’m sick right now, so I have to sleep.”
Even Eden is not new to Jihee. But it was the first time I’d ever met him in such a sick state.
Seeing Ji-hee sleeping soundly on the bed, Eden cries.
“Sister, don’t be sick!!!”
And with that word, in an instant, the disease in Ji-hee’s body dies at once.
Of course, it wasn’t anything like a spirit, it was just Eden’s instinctive power. However, even if it is transmitted indirectly, the absolute of nature is the absolute. Therefore, it was easy for a young human to be cured of a disease with just that.
I could hear Jihee’s breathing getting easier. Bacteria in the body die at that moment, and the body temperature drops little by little.
Perhaps by the time she wakes up, Jihee will be all better and will be able to wake up healthy and refreshed.
“I didn’t know our Eden was capable of this”
“Even if the ability is good, it’s a mask…… It’s better to teach me well later so that I can control it.”
Eden’s power also responds to words containing emotion and will. If it’s normal, even if you say ‘die!!!!’, It’s enough power to kill a person.
So Eden’s education had to be thorough. Or maybe it was because it was trimmed enough to control the power.
“But Eden is doing this out of good intentions.”
“……Yes, it’s really nice that you don’t resemble me.”
“I think that’s very fortunate.”
“Honestly, what would I do if I killed people since I was a baby? It’s a fucking big deal.”
I’ve seen it so far, but Eden is pure and moves with good intentions.
It’s a strange thing to say, but if you think about it, being pure is not proof of being good. Just as an innocent child plucks off the wings of a dragonfly, there is no malice and the pure direction is split.
However, Eden leaned toward goodness among them. To be honest, thinking about and worrying about others is to the point of being fortunate.
……….. But I hope Eden doesn’t become a hero.
“Eden, now that you’re not sick, let’s go down.”
“Are you hugging my sister?”
“Yes, yes”
I took Eden down. Ji-hee is better now, so the rest is a matter of time.
Maybe when you wake up after a sigh, everything will be better enough to treat it like a dream.
“……Personally, I want to take away custody of Miss Jihee from the house in front of me.
“This is Korea. No matter how much you want to do it, bear with it.”
“Turn it off……”
“Instead, when I become an adult, I won’t care anymore.”
“Umm, I understand. I’ll yield up to that point.”
In Korea, parental authority was very important. This can be seen from the fact that the compensation for the accident goes to her mother, who ran away from home and has not been in contact for 10 years, rather than her grandparents, who raised her on her own for over 10 years.
To be honest, I cringe every time I see that, but… Korean politicians don’t work unless it’s for profit.
Anyway, I stopped Zion. Regarding Jihee, it was not something we should hastily interfere with.
Even if he had to use his hands, it was only possible after Ji-hee reached the age where he could stand on his own to some extent. No matter how much parents use their hands, if they are adults, not minors, there are plenty of ways to use their hands on this side.
“It’s a pity that I neglected to investigate the people around me when I moved in.”
“Nothing in the world can be perfect.”
I responded and put Eden on the bed to put him to sleep. You must be tired from going out and playing.
………And late in the evening. It wasn’t until roughly 7pm that Jihee’s parents rang our doorbell.
Fuck, child’s baby is sick, but is it normal to come in at 7 pm?!?!?!?!
* * *
When Ji-hee’s parents, who came at the same timing, asked why they came at the same time, they could answer that one came late and the other came early.
Of course, the mother came late and the father came early. If you argue, the father is better, but he was eliminated at the point where he came without even paying half the amount because the child was sick.
We took Jihee and saw her off in front of the front door of the house. Ji-hee’s parents, who were waiting for her, find her and shout.
“Jihee!!!!!”
“Ah…Dad!!”
Still, the father’s side looked for Ji-hee with an impatient look. It was thanks to Eden and the cooking I made, but Ji-hee woke up from a deep sleep, overcame all the colds, and ran to her father in a healthy state.
Even so, Ji-hee’s mother saw Ji-hee’s figure and shouted while frowning at her.
“I heard you were sick, but seeing that you’re fine, aren’t you faking it?!?!?”
“Oh, no. It really hurts…”
“Is the kid who was really sick really fine like this? You’re not lying?!”
To be honest, it was a reasonable doubt. If the person who said he was sick enough to live in someone else’s house looks fine on the outside, it’s doubtful whether he’s lying.
But that’s never something you should do for your children.
If Eden was sick, I would have taken care of solving even the smallest illness, trauma, or other problem. Feigning illness just because she doesn’t seem sick on the outside shows how Ji-hee’s mother thinks of her.
Parents believe their children when they say they are sick. If you are judged to be malingering, then you can scold them.
Accusing a child of malingering without being able to judge is the same as not trusting the child itself.
……..If parents don’t trust their children, who in the world will trust their children?
“When I saw Ji-hee, she had a pretty bad cold. She seems to feel better after waking up after a good night’s sleep, but I’d like to rest for a while just in case.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our Jihee.”
“No, she’s the girl who lives next door. She’s an older sister who often plays with Eden, so we should treat her well too.”
Ji-hee’s father honestly expressed his gratitude.
Looking at this, it seemed that he was not completely indifferent to Ji-hee. It’s just that working hard for such a child is poison.
Even if you work a little less, it would be better for Jihee to take care of her child……..
“If you get a good night’s sleep, your cold will go away. See you next time.”
“Yes, thank you very much”
Jihee’s father nodded and thanked her. He wasn’t a bad person per se, but he was someone who couldn’t decide what to prioritize and what to care about.
Watching Jihee return home, Eden waved her hand and said hello.
“Goodbye sister!!!!!”
“……Yes, see you next time.”
So Ji-hee went back to her house. Despite returning with the family, the child’s back looked somehow lonely.
It may not be a very appropriate thing to say in this situation, but I personally think that the affection you have nurtured is greater than the information you gave birth to.
Giving birth is just giving birth. Just as I didn’t dwell on the death of my maternal grandfather, the Celestial Dragon Master, and didn’t even watch his deathbed, the affection for Gillijun was much greater than that.
“I think that house will be sold out someday.”
“I think yes”
The reason Ji-hee’s house is not falling apart is simply because Ji-hee is still young.
Parents’ words are absolute for children. It was the child’s job to do what their parents told them to do.
But that won’t last forever.
The child grows up Ji-hee is just a child now, so she’s just following her parents’ wishes, but if her hair grows a little bit, that will be meaningless. Especially during puberty, if a child makes a mistake at the time when he expresses his will, the child will go astray.
I’ve said it before, but I don’t think the end of that house will be so good. It was just the direction of how it would end.
“I don’t want Eden to grow up like that”
“Comparing is bad. You shouldn’t say it out loud. Especially in front of children.”
“…Ah, I think I made a mistake in my words.”
We entered the house with Eden. When Ji-hee goes back, Eden, who has died a little, begins to doze off while blinking her eyes, as if she is slowly showing signs of exhaustion.
“Mom, I’m going to sleep…”
“Then, my daughter, let’s go upstairs and catch it. A good child should go to bed early and wake up early.”
“Even though she’s growing up, she likes to go to bed early.”
Take Eden into the room and put Eden in the crib.
The weather is getting hotter, but the nights are still cold. She leaves the boiler on, but she covers it to the extent that Eden doesn’t feel stuffy because her stomach gets cold when she sleeps without a blanket.
Eden dazed her eyes while looking at the mobile hanging from the ceiling, but she falls asleep shortly after. Shion passed the time by patting Eden by her side until Eden fell asleep.
After a while, Eden fell asleep soundly. Me and Shion watch Eden for a while even though Eden fell asleep.
“You look like an angel sleeping”
“If you’re awake, you’re an archangel. In the first place, the name is that Eden in the Garden of Eden. Is there any reason to compare it to an angel?”
“Anyway, I really wish they would grow up like this.”
“Who said no. Everything is fine, so I want them to grow up healthy.”
Parental love is like water to plants. If you give too much, the roots will rot, and if you give too little, they will wither and die. So it’s good to think about the appropriate level.
In that respect, Zion and I gave Eden full of her love, but it wasn’t to the extent of going astray.
“But when Eden grows up, he goes to elementary school, but what about daycare centers and kindergartens?”
“Well, that’s honestly a concern.”
It is said that people usually go to daycare centers or kindergartens before entering elementary school, which is compulsory education, but honestly, it is not compulsory education. It’s okay to go and stop.
However, in today’s world, it is difficult for parents to always be by their children’s side, so they send them. Kindergartens are more educational facilities than daycare centers, but the purpose of childcare is also strong.
If Eden is at this level, after a while, you can enter a daycare center. However, since both Shion and I were at home, there was no need for that.
“I don’t want to lose any of my time with Eden.”
“No, but it’s not like you’re going to be messing around with it in your hand. Eden should also develop some social skills.”
“Then, I will develop and create a society that will grow that sociality. This is Mars Civilization Season 2.”
“Look at my wife’s scale”
It’s scarier because it’s not meant as a joke.
Zion could make a Garden of Eden worthy of Eden’s name, but I have no intention of raising Eden in such a paradise.
Rather, such overprotection ruins her child. If you raise them that way, they will be happy for hundreds of years, but after that, you can’t be sure.
“It’s better to develop social skills through the kids you meet at the daycare center or kindergarten rather than the kids you meet at the park. Living with your parents and learning and playing with kids your age are two different things.”
“Um…If that’s the case, I understand.”
“My real wife, I don’t know how Eden would have raised her without me.”
“How does Eden exist without you?”
“Oops”
Shion said so as she hugged me. Shion’s aegyo, which she often shows, was so lovable that even as her husband, he would pick a star from the sky.
Well, in reality, it only takes time, but if Shion tells you to pick it up, you can pick it up. What’s the point of dragging one star?
“Would you like to practice making the second one today?”
“Are you prepared for when Eden wants to have her brother?!”
Today, too, I had to go along with Zion’s mandatory siege.
It is not an obligatory defense war. It’s an obligatory siege.
A great father is busy not only during the day but also at night……..
