Chapter 953 – [Correlation Between Elementary School, Kidney Opening, and Artificial Intelligence]
Contrary to my expectations, the principal’s training did not last 30 minutes. In reality, it took about 23 minutes.
Should I be glad I didn’t fill 30 minutes? It’s better to sit and listen, but doing nothing to the children would be like dying. In particular, our Eden was making an expression as if he was going to die of boredom.
Of course, Zion did too.
“Later, when we’re doing something like a sports day in the scorching sun, then I’ll have to seriously think about my full-time job as principal.”
“Ah, that’s right. Standing in the scorching sun for 10 minutes would make you sweat profusely, but if you do it for more than 20 minutes, it won’t be a joke.”
After the principal’s training, congratulatory speeches from each teacher followed. Fortunately, this one didn’t last too long.
And it’s half-time. If it was in middle school, it would be possible to group children with good grades based on their grades in elementary school, but in the case of elementary school, there is no reason to assign classes, so they are decided purely randomly.
There are a little less than 20 children in one class, and there are only about 6 in that class.
To be honest, when I think back to when I was in school, I thought that the birth rate had fallen and the number of children had also decreased.
“When we were young, there were over 10 classes with 40 people in each class.”
“These days, it is a trend to make the rooms bigger and the facilities better as there are fewer people.”
“I like the crowded class back then, but I also like having good facilities. To be honest, if you ask me if the sanitation was good at school in those days, I’d say it’s fine.”
If you think about it in retrospect, you can think of it as a memory, but if there is a difference of 10 or 20 years in the facility, there is a difference in hygiene as well.
These days, the mindset of parents is different, so let’s not tolerate that. There is nothing more terrifying from the school’s point of view than an angry parent.
Anyway, the class is divided according to the teacher’s call. Eden is 2 and a half. And Eden’s kindergarten friends also became class 2 like Eden.
“Wow!!!! Dahee!!!! Jongseongah!!!! Are you guys in class 2 too?”
“I think it’s because people who live in similar places are divided in half, but what?”
“Same class as Eden for 1 year!!!! It’s the best!!!!!”
Seeing that, Shion glanced at me and asked.
“Did you use your hand?”
“Because the change in the environment is stressful. No matter how much Eden likes it, she doesn’t know what’s inside. That’s why it’s good for her friends to have familiar friends.”
If you change classes at school and you don’t know anyone, you feel left out and that’s stressful. She could be relieved by making friends, but it was better that she didn’t feel that way.
Eden became in the same class as her friends because I manipulated the odds separately. It’s annoying, but what can we do for Eden?
So the entrance ceremony came to an end. Anyway, today is the entrance ceremony, and it ends early after looking around the class for a bit.
“I’m going to school tomorrow!!!!!”
“Okay, can you take care of your textbooks and stuff like that?”
“Ugh!!!! I just need to take it to school and put it in the locker.”
“Are you going to take it at once?”
“Isn’t that comfortable? It’s not too heavy.”
If you add up the weight of all textbooks used in school classes, it is a heavy burden for children who have just entered elementary school, but Eden does not have that. She’s not that heavy, but she’s a kid who used to carry a bag when traveling in dimensions, so it’s shocking.
Even after the entrance ceremony, we didn’t go back right away and looked around the school for a while.
It was a place that had already been investigated and judged to be a place Eden could go to, but he said that it was still worth seeing. A lot of research is not as good as taking a look at it, so I try to figure out the school facilities and things like that.
As a result, it was pretty good. The school building itself has been built for a while, but it was recently remodeled, so the facilities and hygiene itself were good.
In the first place, the old building is honestly unavoidable. This is because it is difficult to build a school that is not a university when the birth rate is declining.
“Eden is in Class 2, so I’ll study here from tomorrow.”
“This is our class…I like it!!!!”
“You have to study hard, Eden. Of course, the most important thing is that Eden is healthy, but if you study well, mom and dad will buy you presents.”
“Wow!!!! What gift?”
“Well, shall we think about that when Eden gets good grades?”
The most important thing for a child is health, not anything else. There are so many unhealthy children in this world, but when you see a child in pain, it breaks the parents’ hearts because it seems like she gave birth to her in pain.
However, when the health problem is solved, there are many things you want from your child later. Among them, the major part was the study.
There is no parent in any world who refuses to let their child study well. If there is, it’s not a parent, but something like a parent.
I also hope that Sion and Eden do well in their studies. But since studying isn’t everything in life, she wants Eden to do as well as he can.
“Eden won’t have to worry much about studying. Isn’t Korean education just memorizing anyway?”
“Still, it’s not just memorizing blindly.”
“And Eden is smarter than you think”
“Okay?”
“My daughter, what is 4655 times 8526?”
“39688530?”
“That’s correct”
“No, since when did Eden’s mental arithmetic skills become so good?!”
“You didn’t know because there was no way to ask such a question in the first place.
“As expected, she is our daughter of Zion.”
“Of course”
The fact that a child who has just entered elementary school can do four-digit calculations mentally and with almost immediate answers means that his calculation skills are so good.
Of course, being smart and being intelligent are different, but if you’re smart, you can do a lot of things.
It’s good to have an open direction for what you can do. Wouldn’t it be sad if later, when Eden chose what he wanted to do, he couldn’t do it because of his innate limitations?
If Eden had inherited my prickly head, no matter how much she studied, there would be limits. Thinking of that, she’d rather have Zion’s head.
“Since we’ve been touring the school, let’s explore around the school this time.”
“Is that important too?”
“It’s not something Eden will see while going to and from school. Today, I drove him to school, but Eden will have to walk to school later.”
It’s not that there aren’t kids who drive to school, but what other kids would think if she drove her every day. It is not an ordinary child, but a child who stands out like Eden.
And sometimes things happen while going to school. For example, things like meeting friends by chance and going to school together become good memories.
“Besides, I don’t know when I go to school because of the store, but Eden has to come alone when I leave school.
“……Ah, I didn’t think of that.”
Getting a ride to school while dad goes to work is something that happens to quite a few kids at least once. Because the time to go to work and the time to go to school can match.
But having a driver pick you up and give you a ride is a different story. Usually, you can’t even hire a driver, but if you do, rumors spread around the neighborhood that Eden is a good housewife.
I already know people who know that I have a lot of money, but it’s obvious which one is the bigger issue between rumors around the house and rumors throughout the school, right?
I don’t know how the story got this far, but first of all, Eden should be able to go to and from school on his own someday.
Anyway, we got out of school. In front of the main gate of the school, there were shops aimed at children. For example, a stationery store or a snack bar stood out. There is also a PC room on the other side.
“It’s a PC room in front of the elementary school…”
“Kids these days are precocious, so there are a lot of kids who are already playing LoL or Overwatch.”
“It was a national rule to go to a PC room after school. I was a star in my time.”
Times change, but people stay the same. It’s so strange.
Still, among the buildings in front of the school, the most noticeable was the snack bar. If it were our Eden, we would definitely eat snacks because we weren’t satisfied with school lunches, but since it was food that went into the kids’ mouths, we had to go through my verification process.
We decided to eat tteokbokki as a snack even if we ate separately, so we entered a snack bar.
“Welcome…….Oh, did you have the entrance ceremony today?”
“Yes, I’m going to eat for a while.”
“The kids are grown. It would be nice to have healthy and pretty daughters.”
“……Ah, this is an insider.”
“Yes?!?!?!”
When I pointed out and introduced Zion, the snack bar lady made a sound of surprise as if she didn’t understand.
Shion looks upset because he was treated like a child again. Well, there will come a day when Shion will be treated as her daughter, but at this point, she is better off.
We looked at the snack bar menu. 2,000 won per serving of tteokbokki…….. Hygiene is not bad, and they also sell sundae and fries, which are friends of tteokbokki.
It seems like you are doing your business conscientiously. Hagisa Otherwise, you can’t do business in front of the school. How extreme are parents these days?
“Boss, please give me 3 servings each of tteokbokki, tempura, and sundae.”
“It must be a lot, is it okay?”
“I’m worried that I might fall short.”
The 3-piece set of rice cakes is a national rule. There are times when the gimbap or the variation is different here, but the three musketeers in my heart have always been those.
The snack bar lady started preparing the things we ordered. She puts the tteokbokki in a bowl, cuts the sundae, and reheats the tempura once again. With a skill she has mastered over 10 years, she quickly comes up with a three-piece set.
“Here, 3 servings of rice cakes. The kid is entering school today and he’s cute, so I added a bonus.”
“Oops, thank you, Eden.”
“Thank you!!!!! I’ll eat well!!!!!”
Even considering the added bonus, the amount is substantial. These days, tteokbokki is not a memorable tteokbokki from those days, but it has become a food sold in units of tens of thousands of won.
Even the tteokbokki bowl is a green bowl that feels like it was used at that time. Anyone who has eaten a lot of tteokbokki knows roughly how it feels.
In front of the elementary school, the birth rate also decreased and the number of people decreased.
“It feels like a nostalgic tteokbokki.”
“It was like eating and eating with the kids…… I really miss it when I think about it now.”
It is not chopsticks, but toothpicks. We dip a rice cake with a toothpick and put it in our mouth.
The chewy taste of the chewy rice cake and the taste of the tteokbokki sauce……. It’s not special, but it’s a little above the middle. At least considering the cost-effectiveness, it was decent.
And the most important thing. It seems that they do not reheat tteokbokki separately here.
Stores without conscience store leftover tteokbokki from the previous day and sell it again the next day. It is an act that should not be done, which is tantamount to deception that deceives consumers as well as hygiene.
Tteokbokki that has been left for a day will definitely stand out, so if you mix even a little bit, I, who have a keen sense of taste, will not notice. If you look at the taste, it’s the tteokbokki I cooked today.
“Delicious!!!!!”
“Yes, Eden, the tteokbokki here is delicious”
“Remembering the old days, I like it too”
Sometimes there are dishes that I like even though they are not particularly tasty. There are many simply delicious dishes in the world, but there are as many stories as there are people in your favorite dish.
For us, today was tteokbokki. Thanks to that, I quickly got rid of a set of 9 servings of tteoktusun, 3 servings each.
“I really enjoyed the meal!!!!”
“Yes, Eden. Did you empty your stomach to eat?”
“Uh!!!!”
“You can buy something like tteokbokki, but don’t fill your stomach with it. It’s bad for your health. That’s why you should eat in moderation.”
“Okay!!!!!”
When I approached the aunt of the snack bar to do her calculations, she said with a little surprise.
“It’s okay to eat snacks, but this is the first time my parents have told me to do it in moderation.”
“Is that so?”
“Sure, I don’t allow people to eat tteokbokki at all, but there were parents who came to the store and complained to me that their child ate secretly.”
“If you are in the restaurant business, you will come across the truth. You are suffering.”
“Oh, does the boss run a catering business too?”
“Yeah, I’m taking a break from work for a while because of my child, so I’m going to reopen the store.”
The snack bar here is a good place. At least, it was a good place to do business in front of an elementary school, and a place where Eden could come and go for snacks.
When you look at a dish, you can see the personality of the person who made it. Even if you don’t have the ability to see yourself, you can guess what the person who made it roughly by eating the dish.
I decided that the snack bar lady was trustworthy and took out a check for one million won from her pocket.
“Oh?! We don’t have change to pay for that right now…
“No, it’s nothing else. Please make a ledger for my child with this.”
“The ledger?”
“Yes, it’s troublesome to give a child pocket money to buy tteokbokki every day, but if you give it all at once, it’s a lot of money again, so it’s dangerous for the child to carry around. So, I’ll give the money to the boss first, so if my child comes and eats it, take it off the books.”
“Ah… You want to do that?”
“My child will attend this school for the next 6 years anyway. And my child stands out so you can’t tell them apart, right?”
Even if you pay later, it’s good to give you a down payment first. Who doesn’t like money coming into their pockets right away?
If you leave money separately at the snack bar, Eden doesn’t have to carry money, and the aunt also has an advance payment, so it’s good for her sister and brother-in-law. Besides, since Eden isn’t going to eat alone, she can give her friends a bite.
“Then I will. You said the child’s name was Eden, right?”
“Yes, Eden Choi. Thank you very much.”
We get out of the snack bar and walk to the shopping mall building where there is a parking lot to digest food. Eden walks side by side with me in one hand and Zion in the other, with Eden in the middle.
To others, he may be the father of a baby with twins, but in reality, he is a happy family of three. No matter how others see it, the essence cannot be hidden.
“Ah, Eden. I paid for the tteokbokki restaurant in advance, so you can go and bring her friends and eat it together, but instead, Eden should remember the amount you spent. Okay?”
“Why?”
“It’s not that I don’t trust the snack bar lady, but mistakes can happen. If you calculate more, Eden loses money, and if you calculate less, the lady loses money. So, Eden needs to remember it so he can correct it later.”
“Okay!!!!!!”
Eden came to the entrance ceremony, but what she remembered was her snack bar. No, it’s because she works in the catering business.
“It is said that high school girls’ blood and flesh are in order of making rice cakes, but it seems that Eden is already taking that step.”
“Come to think of it, when Eden grows up later, he’ll become a high school girl… Ugh”
Haruri: Next… You.
No!!!!! Here is Ruri, a high school girl who graduated from high school a long time ago in her previous life and became her baby’s mother!!!!!
Can’t get out of my head very much!!!!!!!!!! I thought the Ruri Ruri network line was disconnected a long time ago!!!!!!
