My Dad Is Too Strong chapter 353
Chapter 353
January 1, Shinjeong (新正) is a truly meaningful day.
It contained much more than just greeting the new year. Looking back on the past year, most people start the year with a new mindset. They are determined to live hard by setting individual goals such as diet, smoking cessation, passing tests, and drinking alcohol.
“Father, are you up?”
It’s 5:20 in the morning, when the sun is just starting to rise.
Seol Yoon-hee, who was up first, said hello. Wake up much earlier than usual.
My hair was slightly wet as if it hadn’t been long since I washed it. It will be less dried.
“Best wishes for a Happy New Year.”
After giving and receiving the first greetings of the new year, Do-joon came out with a simple face wash and saw that she was preparing rice cake soup. However, it seemed that getting up early was not simply to make rice cake soup. Last year, at 7 o’clock, I got up and prepared to make rice cake soup.
“I woke up really early today.”
“Yeah. Now that I’m in the third grade, I have to get up at 6 o’clock, so I’m trying to get my body to fit.”
In general, the third grader of high school is an examinee.
Just as the atmosphere in which candidates work diligently to go to a good university by receiving the SAT scores is formed, there were many cases of early morning training while reducing sleep to enter the ‘good guild’ among 3rd graders of Hunter Academy.
Time is fair to everyone, but Do-jun somehow felt that time was passing really fast. It seems like yesterday that I attended the entrance ceremony of Seol Yoon-hee, but it seems that I am a third grader.
Two years are so early, but the remaining one year will be ugly.
I thought so.
.

“Only Happy New Year is this bar.”
The latest star, who woke up, said a big bow to his family and said hello to the new year. Do-joon watched Karciel politely say ‘Happy New Year’s Separately’. It was such a cute scene, so a smile was made.
“It’s all rice cake soup.”
Then he humbled while watching Seol Yoon-hee making rice cake soup in the kitchen. For the children, Seol Yoon-hee added plenty of beef, unlike ordinary rice cake soup. Almost half of the beef? The biggest beneficiary would be Yong Yong.
「Star, you know what?」
“How far?”
“If you eat rice cake soup, you age as well.”
Well, of course it was a joke.
But the problem is that it was already a joke that I made around this time last year.
Last year, I believed it and ate more than ten bowls, but this year was different.
“That’s what I said. I am not fooled by this ashes.”
The unexpectedly decisive baby was cute, and Do-jun sat in front of the table, fluttering.

There is a saying that people who read a book are more scared than people who know nothing.
He said that he couldn’t win because he tried to teach other people with poor knowledge or wrong knowledge. Hakase believed that Kiriel belonged to that category.
‘This day hasn’t come.’
On January 1 of last year, Kiriel urged him to call him ‘Hyung’, saying he ate a whopping five bowls of rice cake soup. The reason was that after eating five bowls, you were five years older on Earth. I thought it was a ridiculous bullshit and ignored it, but it reminded me that I was really stressed out by getting older all day.
‘It will be the same this year.’
An eye for an eye! This is this!
Hakase clenched his fist while looking at the 2021 calendar.
For today, he had applied to participate in the “Tteok-guk Contest” hosted by the Dong Community Center. Officials check how many bowls of rice cake soup I ate, and I was thinking of revenge on Kiriel based on that.
Tuk.
After going out for a while, Kiriel comes back with a pot and puts it on the table. Kiriel smiled with satisfaction.
“What is that, Kiriel.”
“The king of the earth gave me rice cake soup. Seol Yoon-hee made it, and he told me to take a little because there was a lot left.”
“Wow, rice cake soup?”
“Huh. There is a lot of beef in it. If you want to eat, bring a bowl to save. This body may be able to share a little in particular.”
It seems to be about one or three servings.
But, saying that Kiriel distributes rice cake soup, the sun seems to rise from the west.
Hakase opened his eyes and tried to figure out what he was thinking.
“······I don’t eat.”
“What?”
“Hmmm. I have to go out right away.”
“Is this body okay to eat all of the rice cake soup, lizard?”
“okay.”
Hakase somehow came out of laughter.
It was an obvious ridicule. Tteokguk is worth three bowls at best.
In other words, according to his logic, even if he eats all of that, he will only increase his age by three!
‘Look and see. You should call me hyung.’
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
With a loud laughter, Hakase went out of the nest.
Kiriel shrugs and presses the power button on the remote control to turn on the TV.
On TV, I started to empty the rice cake soup while watching the New Year’s special.
When I was in the center, I didn’t think of the concept of aging, but when I ate Tteok-guk as we celebrate the New Year on Earth, I was able to realize that I really got one year older.
Kiriel knew now.
No matter how much you eat Tteok-guk, you don’t get older.
.

The Saemaul Women’s Association in Bangbae 3-dong held a rice cake soup sharing event every year and on New Year’s Day, and at the same time also held a’eat a lot’. The intent was to promote harmony through exchanges between neighbors through a rice cake soup sharing event. Kiriel was one of the sponsors of this year’s event.
“Oh, you are here! Mr. Hakase.”
Mina Kim, a social welfare official in charge of the Women’s Association, welcomed me. Mina Kim was in charge of organizations such as the Saemaul Women’s Association and the Red Cross. Usually, Hakase and Kiriel both came to the community center whenever they had time to actively volunteer, so they knew well.
Besides, Hakase didn’t support a huge amount of 5 million won this time!
“Isn’t Mr. Kiriel coming together?”
“If he’s that guy, he’s eating rice cake soup at home.”
“Ah······. It would have been nice if they had eaten here together… The mothers of our women’s association are very awesome.”
Upon the news of Hakase’s arrival, the women members who were making rice cake soup, the community center staff who were assisting the event, and the head of the village happily greeted them. Hakase received their greetings politely and smiled.
“Oh, the bachelor gave the donation, so the residents are eating well. If it weren’t for a bachelor, there would have been a lot of people who couldn’t eat it because the quantity was insufficient.
“He’s the one who shared rice while walking around with me last time!”
“You are handsome and your heart is so good, Ho Ho Ho!”
Hakase scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed to give him a compliment.
In fact, the purpose of volunteering was to show Do-jun better, and the reason I sponsored the Tteok-guk event was because the eating contest was held without a hitch, making Kiriel’s nose flat.
‘Well, that’s not bad.’
It feels good to be praised anyway.
[If you are participating in the rice cake soup eating contest, please come here!]
One of the community center staff said through a loudspeaker.
There were already more than ten participants sitting in a row at the long table.
All of them were local residents of Bangbae 3-dong. Hakase’s seats were already available. It was just the center seat.
[Now, then, all the participants have gathered, so we will start eating a lot of rice cake soup!]
click!
click!
Community center staff eagerly take pictures.
Then, a bowl of rice cake soup is delivered to the participants.
[Time limit is 20 minutes.]
[The person who eats the most within the time limit wins!]
Before long, Hakase began to eat rice cake soup fiercely.
The other participants gave up in the third bowl if there were few, and the fifth bowl if there were many, but Hakase ate without stopping.
“Wow ahhh!”
The empty bowl gradually increased.
Gradually, the stomach was full, but Hakase never gave up.
It was because of the conviction that he would not return to Kiriel the grievance he suffered last year.
Hungry!
Heat bowl.
Fifteen bowls.
Twenty bowls.
Everyone’s cheers and enthusiasm are added to the new records that are repeatedly updated.
Other contestants, who can be considered rivals, also began to cheer on Hakase.
“One more bowl!”
“Wow! Twenty-four bowls!”
Beep!
A whistle rang to indicate that the time limit was over.
Community center staff and women members approached the table and counted the number of empty bowls placed in front of each player. And when the count was over, the staff in charge of the referee said through a loudspeaker.
[The winner is Mr. Hakase, who ate twenty-four bowls of rice cake soup!]
At the moment, tremendous cheer bursts out.
In Hakase, the rice cake soup in Hakase seemed to flow backwards, but he smiled.
Is it really a winner’s room? It’s pretending to be cool.
[There is a commemorative photo shoot, so please gather together!]
People gathered around Hakase.
Dong Community Center staff, female members, and local residents…
Everyone goes together and smiles.
“Hakase-san, grab this.”
Mina Kim smiled and pointed at the placard.
-The 6th New Year’s Rice Cake Soup Sharing Event
[I take it. One, two, three!]
* * *
Cheolkup.
Hakase returned to the nest and drank bottled water from the refrigerator to soothe his bloated stomach. Kiriel was lying cheeky in the living room and giggling while watching TV. Hakase’s mouth fluttered.
“Kiriel.”
“Why?”
“How many bowls of rice cake soup did you eat today?”
“Three bowls.”
Hakase kicked, laughed and showed A3 sized paper.
“Look at this.”
That was a picture.
In the picture, Hakase and the local residents were shown.
A photo holding a banner that reads’The 6th New Year’s Tteok Soup Sharing Event’.
In addition, Hakase also held a sign saying “Tteok-guk eating contest winner, 24 bowls”.
“Now, who is the older brother now?”
“······.”
Kiriel made an expression that he did not understand English.
When there was no reaction unexpectedly, Hakase opened his eyes.
“Why is there no answer, Kiriel.”
“I’m asking because this body can’t do it.”
“Woohoo, tell me.”
“Just because you ate Tteok-guk more than this body doesn’t mean you’re making such a stupid sound to call you brother, lizard?”
Hakase’s expression hardened.
And Kiriel realized that ‘No way’ was right.
As if it was absurd, he shook his head and moved his gaze back to the TV.
It was then.
Wow!
You can feel the heat behind your back.
When I turned my head back and looked back, I saw Hakase memorizing the dragon sentence.
The huge summoning ceremony that came out of Hakase’s hand was Meteor.
“Do, lizard! G, what are you doing now…”
“This motherfucker! I will kill you!”
The moment Hakase flashes his eyes and tries to rush to Kiriel,
“Wow, wow!”
Kiriel was frightened and in a short moment fled to the heart by using the “center amulet”.
And Hakase tried to pursue it, but the “dimensional door” closed. Hakase, who was full of anger, began to regain his coolness while heaving.
“Who……”
Salang,
At that time, a picture of the rice cake soup event fell on the floor.
“······.”
Hakase picked up a picture.
“······Hmm.”
Crumbling.
Hakase, who took out a frame that wasn’t used from the warehouse, put the picture inside the frame.
I hung a picture frame on the wall. And while looking at the picture in the frame, I smiled without knowing.
