Only Noblemtl

379 – You are so happy

-Dorrrrrrr, chock chock chock

The sound of the sewing machine being turned by Pilgrim filled the yard of Gijo’s house.

Pilgrimage worked hard on the manual sewing machine that Gijo had given her.

The manual sewing machine was installed on a dedicated table, and I sat on a chair and put my feet up.

If you place it on the footrest and roll it back and forth, the spinning wheel will turn and the sewing machine needle will move.

“It’s done.”

Pilgrimage was satisfied when she unfolded Yeong-eun’s one-piece dress that had been finished sewing.

In the yard, the youngest, Youngjun, was playing in the dirt, and Youngeun was beside her younger brother.

I was meddling.

“Don’t touch that, you’ll put your hand in your mouth again.”

Although they were both just little kids, Yeong-eun was born a few years earlier and played the role of the older sister.

I was holding on tight.

Pilgrimage watched the children from the porch and smiled.

There was no trace left in the house of Chairman Park and Houseman, who had visited a few days ago.

The room next door that Youngsu was using as a study room was the same as before.

A desk that Youngsoo uses, a stand with an incandescent light bulb, and Youngsoo’s statue hanging on the wall.

Chapters.

Nothing had changed from before.

The cigarette smoke that filled the room between Chairman Park and Houseman disappeared as it was ventilated.

The footprints of the man who had been wandering around the yard with a pistol in his hand were also completely erased.

‘I wonder if the chairman really came to the house… .’

The pilgrimage was unbelievable.

The king came and went from home, but nothing had changed… .

Pilgrimage put Young-eun’s dress aside and sewed Young-jun’s clothes this time.

It started.

Just as I was about to roll my feet and turn on the sewing machine, a sound was heard from the front door.

“Pilgrimage, are you in pilgrimage?”

Pilgrimage jumped up from his chair and moved diligently towards the front door.

As I removed the wooden latch on the front door and opened the door, the wife of the acting president, Yuk Young-soo, appeared.

Was standing there.

“Hello, ma’am.”

Pilgrimage bowed deeply and slowly greeted him.

“How have you been?”

Yuk Young-soo smiled as he looked at the pilgrimage.

Yuk Young-soo, who entered the main gate, spoke to the security guards.

“Don’t come in, stay outside.”

“yes.”

Men in suits stood in their seats, unable to cross the threshold of the main gate at the words of Yuk Young-soo.

all.

Pilgrimage saw two sturdy men step forward as Yuk Young-soo closed the gate.

The men stood guard in front of the door, seemingly trying to prevent anyone from entering the house.

There was.

“Shall we go in?”

Thanks to Yuk Young-soo’s kind words, Seol-jae came to her senses and guided the First Lady inside.

Young-eun and Young-jun, who were playing in the yard, also looked at the strange visitor who entered the house.

There was.

Yeong-eun was the first to move.

Just as I was taught by my mom and dad, when adults came to our house, I greeted them first.

“Hello. My name is Yeong-eun. I am the eldest daughter of this family and I am seven years old.”

Yeong-eun quickly introduced herself without being asked.

Yuk Young-soo saw that and smiled broadly.

“Oh, that’s right. As expected of the eldest daughter, you greet people well.”

Yeong-eun smiled bashfully, her cheeks turning red at Yuk Yeong-su’s praise.

Pilgrimage looked at his daughter with satisfaction, who greeted him and even introduced herself.

Youngjun also greeted his older sister.

“Hello. I’m Youngjun Lee. I’m five years old.”

Youngjun also greeted and introduced himself, although he was awkward. When he said his age, he was very shy.

He also showed numbers by spreading out his clammy right hand.

“aunt….”

After finishing the greeting, Youngjun suddenly hugged Youngsoo Yuk’s skirt.

When Seol-jae saw Young-soo Yuk touching her skirt with his dirty hands, she was startled and ran to Young-jun.

Set aside.

“I’m sorry, ma’am.”

Pilgrimage puts Youngjun down, who was holding her in his arms, and brushes off the dirt on Yuk Youngsu’s skirt.

Tried.

“It’s okay. It’s a pilgrimage.”

Yuk Young-soo laughed as she brushed the dirt off her skirt.

“All boys are like that. Youngjun is five years old?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“The youngest in our family, Ji-man, is the same age as me. Is Young-jun also the youngest?”

“yes….”

The pilgrimage did not calm my pounding heart.

The Yuk Young-soo I met at Park Young-ok’s house in the past and the Yuk Young-soo now were different.

Seeing Seol-hae’s stiff figure, Yuk Yeong-su tried to ease Seol-hae’s tension by grabbing her arm.

He said it with a bang.

“Let’s sit down, honey. Why are you so nervous? Be comfortable like before.”

Yuk Young-soo, sitting on the floor, looked at the sewing machine and clothes behind him and asked.

“Were you making clothes?”

“Yes, I was making children’s clothes.”

Yuk Young-soo had the opportunity to meet the wives of CEOs of large corporations.

We met mainly at charity events and government events that emphasized saving, such as the rice-saving campaign.

Sometimes I had to deal with rich women who visited the Blue House.

The women tried to look as frugal as possible, but among the expensive clothes they owned,

I came out wearing clothes that looked relatively calm.

It was quickly apparent that these were expensive clothes that common people could not afford.

They also gave Yuk Young-soo Italian or French clothes as gifts.

Every time, Yuk Young-soo refused gifts from the wives of the CEOs of large corporations and only wore domestically produced clothes.

He indirectly warned them not to wear imported clothes.

Yuk Young-soo looked at the clothes that Seol-hye was wearing.

When I first met Pilgrimage, I couldn’t imagine that she was the wife of a CEO of a large corporation.

It was a dress code.

‘You even shortened your skirt properly… .’

The pilgrim’s skirt did not cover her ankles but hung down to her calves.

The government recommended that women’s skirts be just that long to save fabric.

all.

Yuk Young-su said the pilgrimage was special and beautiful.

“Have you finished making your youngest son’s clothes?”

“No, I was just about to make it.”

“I remember the clothes that were sent from America. When my husband visited America, he was wearing them.

President Dee gave me a cowboy suit to wear. But I was shocked when I received it.

“Mana, your face is burning hot….”

“why…?”

Pilgrimage asked with a worried expression.

“It was because of the wrapping paper. I sent mother-of-pearl boxes and lacquerware to the US as gifts.

I can’t just send it. I have to package it and send it, but there’s no proper packaging.

Hey. But it’s a gift from the country, so we can’t wrap it in Japanese wrapping paper… .”

Yuk Young-soo sighed shallowly.

At that time, Korean packaging paper was made of ‘Saekdongji’, which was made by drawing colorful lines on recycled paper, and cement.

It was a fort used as a fort.

“I was looking for paper to use as wrapping paper, and I tried wrapping it with wallpaper with a floral pattern, but I got some dye on my hands.

“Don’t ask me anything.”

“oh….”

“After much thought, I saw the silver foil inside my husband’s cigarette pack and thought, ‘This is it,’ so I decided to go with that.

“I decided.”

“A cigarette pack made of aluminum foil?”

“Yes, I asked the Monopoly Office and got some foil, but when I wrapped it in it, it was obvious to anyone that it was a package.

Doesn’t the paper look like a cigarette case? I’m disappointed, so I brought the foil.

The staff said that they could just stamp the pattern on the foil. Then they stamped the pattern on the foil again.

“I wrapped it in that and sent it because it looked nice.”

“thank god.”

Pilgrimage smiled in relief.

However, it was a bit strange that Yuk Young-soo kept talking about the packaging.

He didn’t answer. I felt like his mind was somewhere else, different from what he said.

Yuk Young-soo said with a deep sigh.

“Pilgrimage. That’s what our country is like now. We can’t even make proper packaging….”

After saying that, Yuk Young-soo quietly pointed to the house next door and asked.

“Is that the house where Youngok and his wife lived?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Can I take a look around?”

“Yes, of course.”

Pilgrimage took Yuk Young-soo to the house next door.

Yuk Young-soo looked around here and there.

Yuk Young-soo, who was looking closely at Young-soo’s study room, asked.

“Pilgrimage, has my nobleman been here?”

Pilgrimage froze for a moment at Yuk Young-soo’s question.

It was because I asked the keynote speaker something he had told me never to tell anyone.

But I thought it was okay to say it since Chairman Park was also Yuk Young-soo’s husband.

“Yes, ma’am.”

“What time did you leave here?”

“that is….”

Pilgrimage said that she was at her brother’s house with the children.

“I see….”

Yuk Young-soo’s expression darkened for a moment.

“Ugh… … .”

Yuk Young-soo sat on the floor and sighed.

Pilgrimage was restless as if he had done something wrong.

“Sit next to me. Pilgrimage.”

Yuk Young-soo said, patting the seat next to him. When Ye-rye sat down next to him, Yuk Young-soo opened his mouth.

all.

“Pilgrim, do you trust your husband a lot?”

Pilgrimage answered the unexpected question without even having time to think.

It was a pilgrimage that became more honest the more embarrassed I became.

“yes….”

“No matter how much you trust your husband, you can’t let him play until dawn.”

“yes?”

Pilgrimage looked at Yuk Young-soo in surprise. I couldn’t understand what he was saying.

all.

“Your husband came home at dawn too? It doesn’t look like he was talking here. He went somewhere.

“You must be here….”

Yuk Young-soo, who was thoroughly monitoring her husband, found out that her husband had gone to Gijo’s.

But when I checked it out myself, I felt like the small study room was not a place to stay until dawn.

This was not good.

I unconsciously lowered my mouth thinking that I had definitely taken this CEO to a parasite house.

I asked for a drink.

“No, ma’am. My husband came to my brother’s house at 8 p.m.”

Pilgrimage’s answer embarrassed Yuk Young-soo.

“8 o’clock in the evening? Not 8 o’clock in the morning?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like Pilgrimage was lying.

My husband came home very drunk at dawn, but Pilgrimage’s husband came home a long time ago.

Dani.

Yuk Young-soo quickly grasped the situation.

As rumored, President Lee Ki-jo was far from being a womanizer.

I quickly resolved the matter, thinking that I had said something unnecessary to Pilgrimage.

“You said you had an all-night meeting until dawn, but I guess your husband wasn’t there.

“Oh, I see.”

“Yes, he finished work early and came straight home.”

Yuk Young-soo thought while watching the pilgrimage.

‘Pilgrimage, you are a happy woman… .’

Yuk Young-soo continued speaking, trying to take back what he had said.

“My husband always comes home drunk after a meeting and it really upsets me. Pilgrimage

Hey. I know it’s hard and frustrating to work for the country, but people still need to sleep.

“If I drink alcohol at that time, won’t my body be harmed?”

“Yes… I’m sure the lady is worried. Because of the chairman’s health… .”

At the end of the pilgrimage, Yuk Young-soo let out a deep sigh.

“Ugh… … . It’s crazy how you play so much and still look so healthy.”

“yes?”

“If you are healthy, I am saying that you will continue to live like that.”

Yuk Young-soo tried to smile.

Yuk Young-soo changed the subject and talked about Pilgrimage and other things, and then finished the conversation and went to work.

It stood.

“Don’t come out and just stay there.”

As Yuk Young-soo opened the gate, the security guards cleared the way.

Pilgrimage bowed to Yuk Young-soo as he left the main gate.

After waving a few times to the pilgrim, Yuk Young-soo got into the car.

Even after getting into the car, Yuk Young-soo continued to think about her husband.

On her way to the Blue House, Yuk Young-soo wonders how to quell her husband’s unstoppable philandering.

I thought I didn’t know.

It is said that rich and powerful men drink alcohol with women, but there are also pure women in the world.

Aren’t there people like your husband?

Yuk Young-soo recalled the day her husband came to their house to ask for permission to marry.

The sight of my husband sitting on the floor and untying his military boots was incredibly trustworthy.

My husband, who is small in stature but quiet and has bright eyes, is a dependable man at home as expected.

He was a kind and caring father, but he was like a mischievous child who would run off anywhere when he went outside.

It would be great if I could just stay away from alcohol and women, but I was also annoyed that my husband couldn’t do that.

Upon arriving at the Blue House, Yuk Young-soo calmed down and asked the driver.

“How is your wife?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Are your parents sick?”

“Everyone is healthy.”

“Your eldest child will be entering middle school next year, right?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“There are many places where money needs to be spent, and you must have many worries.”

“No, ma’am.”

Yuk Young-soo took good care of the people around him.

He never forgot a story he had heard once, and he always took care of the other person’s family.

After arriving at the Blue House and getting out of the car, Yuk Young-soo handed an envelope to the driver.

“It’s the golden peak. You must give it to your wife.”

“No, ma’am. You don’t have to give it to me.”

The driver looked embarrassed and declined. Yuk Young-soo, who forcefully put the envelope in his hand,

He said while laughing.

“I will definitely check with my wife later.”

“Thank you, ma’am.”

The driver bowed almost at a 90-degree angle as a greeting.

I didn’t know what to do with myself because Yuk Young-soo did such a good job.

I have quite a bit of experience driving for generals like division commanders, but I am called a ‘private sector’.

I have never worked with such respect.

After work, the driver will deliver an envelope containing his daily salary to his wife and give her living expenses.

His assisted wife would have been very pleased.

The wives of men working at the Blue House receive letters and greetings from the First Lady through their husbands.

There were many instances where I received it.

They sometimes passed on information they found out through their husbands to Yuk Young-soo, and that information

It gave me the power to figure out my husband’s ‘other things’.

Yuk Young-soo always received support from the wives of the men who worked around her husband.

It was the same when my husband was serving in the military.

My husband, who is living alone in his official residence after being posted to the province, meets someone, what he does, and how does he do it?

It was all thanks to the wives of my husband’s subordinates that I was able to fully understand how they were playing.

When it felt like it wasn’t going to work out, Yuk Young-soo went to her new post and had a huge fight with her husband. Now, she’s like that.

It was a desperate situation.

The government office was afraid that the husband’s status would be too high and his voice would be heard.

It was difficult even to raise my voice.

Yuk Young-soo gathered all the laundry in the house and started doing laundry.

Laundry was something that Yuk Young-soo often did when he was feeling upset.

As I was hitting the clothespin, my mind calmed down and my husband’s face came to mind.

It went up.

My husband has been looking so haggard lately that it’s almost pitiful.

My nephew-in-law committed a serious crime and spent several days drinking alone in the living room until dawn.

He used to smoke cigarettes heavily.

But lately, things have been going well and my husband has become cheerful again.

Yuk Young-soo thought it might be because her husband had cleanly given up on running for president.

My husband wants to escape from the difficult and arduous politics and return to the military as soon as possible to live a simple life.

I wish I had done that.

It was hard for Yuk Young-soo too. It was so difficult to live as the president’s wife.

I didn’t know.

If I continued living like this, I thought that neither my husband nor I would be able to enjoy the pleasure of marriage.
