The small bookstore created a cozy atmosphere with the owner’s kind smile.
The space was small, but various kinds of books were neatly classified and stuck on the shelf.
“Oh, it wasn’t a puppy”
The owner, who saw Akum closely, looked slightly surprised.
I guess he thought it was a puppy from afar.
Pow wooo?
When Akum starred with innocent eyes, a smile was built on the face of the bookstore owner.
“What animal is this child? He’s so cute.”
“It’s an animal called Yakum. He was born just a few months back.”
“Yakum? Oh, my God! Your name is so cute, too. May I touch him?”
“Yes, he’s a gentle fellow.”
Upon hearing my answer, the bookstore owner carefully stroked Akum.
Baby Yakum, who is still a baby, gave a pleasant cry at the gentle touch.
Pow wo woooo…
Gyuri, who was hiding behind Akum’s back, popped out.
“Ugh! It’s so shaky, I’m dizzy! Popi.”
“Ah! This… This?”
The bookstore owner exclaimed in surprise at Gyuri’s sudden appearance.
And he stared blankly at the flying fairy.
“Ho, are you an Awakener?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Ah! Is this the Summon or the spirit? It’s actually my first time seeing one this so closely.”
Of course, Gyuri was a little far from him, but I couldn’t explain the complicated situation, so I only nodded my head quietly.
“Oh my! Look at me…disturbing the customers…what book are you planning on looking at?”
“I want to buy some books for this kid.”
The bookstore owner’s eyes turned toward my legs.
Speranza stood there shyly.
“Oh my… For this cute little girl.”
She couldn’t take her eyes off Speranza’s cuteness as she burst into admiration for the third time.
“How old are you now? Can you read?”
“Uh… five years old. Un, I can read.”
She flinched a little when asked about her age, but she moved on as casually as she could.
The bookstore owner nodded and guided me to the Kid’s book corner.
“These are books that the parents prefer for their children. Here are some books from which you can easily learn Korean, English, and math.”
The place she showed me was full of Kids’ books.
From fairy tale books with cute pictures to books that help kids learn English from the age of five.
I didn’t feel like I needed to worry about education.
It seemed like Andras’ education was enough for now.
Today, I decided to look for books that Speranza is interested in.
“Speranza, do you have any books you want to read?”
“Uh…… !”
Speranza looked through each of the books.
When I was young, fairy tale books such as traditional fairy tales and Aesop’s fables were the most sold books, but now there seem to be various kinds of fairy tale books.
“Sihyeon, I think that looks like me, Popi!”
Gyuri, who was watching from the side, suddenly pointed to a fairy tale book.
On the cover, a fairy resembling Gyuri was drawn next to the main character.
Speranza also showed interest, so I took a quick look at the fairy tale book.
It was about a girl running an errand of her mother with the help of a fairy.
“Do you like it? Do you want to read this?”
“Un, I’ll read.”
“I’ll read it with you, Popi!”
“Haha, okay.”
I took the fairy tale book.
After that, I took another fairy tale book and a few more coloring picture books.
I went to the cashier with the book.
There, my mother and the owner of the bookstore were talking comfortably with Akum in between them.
Pow wo woooo!
Akum looked happy as he ate the blueberries handed over by the bookstore owner.
“ Oh… the cute little guy, you must have liked the blueberries.”
Pow woo wooo.
He ate blueberries given by the owner of the bookstore he just met, and now he acted cute in her arms.
“Look at him acting cute. Do you like blueberries that much?”
I guess my mom also liked the owner of the bookstore.
“My dad raised blueberries in the countryside. Can I get them for you?”
“It’s fine. You have already given a lot.”
“It’s okay. My father sent me a lot anyway, so I was going to share it with the neighbors. Wait a minute.”
The bookstore owner quickly walked into the bookstore and handed over a bag filled with blueberries.
While calculating Speranza’s book, I felt sorry.
“ Thank you. Come again.”
Akum seemed to have taken a liking to the owner who gave him blueberries, so he showed his face from the stroller and responded to the greeting.
Pow wo wooo
She waved to Akum as we left the store.
“Akum, I felt this when we went to the food store last time. You really won’t starve anywhere.”
“Hahahahahah!”
Pow woooo?
My mother burst into laughter as if she sympathized with me.
Akum tilted his head cutely.
While walking on the street, we arrived in front of a store, attracted by the savory and sweet smell.
It was a waffle shop that caught the eyes of the children.
A smile came out in response to the children staring at me with round eyes.
“Speranza, do you want to eat waffles?”
“Wob…le?”
“Let’s go in together and see what’s a waffle.”
Since it’s an eatery, I left Akung with my mother and went into the waffle shop with Speranza.
“Welcome!”
The store staff greeted us in a high-pitched voice.
“Hello.”
“………”
As soon as Speranza entered the store, she was completely distracted by the colorful menu.
Interestingly, the store staff was distracted by Speranza’s cuteness.
COUGH
I caught the attention of the absent-minded employee by coughing.
“Well, it’s her first time eating waffles. What menu would be good for a child?”
The store staff answered my question as she came to her senses.
“Huh? Oh! I’m sorry. Apple cinnamon waffles and snow waffles are the most popular in our store. You can choose the fruit topping on top.”
“Really? Speranza, which fruit do you want on the top?”
“Uhhh…”
Speranza looked at the menu with a serious look on her face.
Speranza opened her mouth after worrying so much that the store staff was nervous.
“S…  Stawberries.”
“Really? Okay.”
Speranza chose a waffle with strawberries and a waffle with bananas.
While waffles were being made inside the store, an employee of the store who received the order gave Speranza candies and snacks.
“Speranza, what did I say you should do when someone gives you a present?”
“Thank you…”
Speranza bowed her head with an awkward greeting.
The employee was at a loss for words at the cute greeting.
“The waffle you ordered is here. Thank you. Please visit again.”
The staff looked down and waved after the polite greeting.
Speranza waved briefly as if responding to it and hid behind me.
The staff smiled very happily as if she felt this was enough.
After leaving the waffle shop, we joined my mother and headed to a nearby park.
We found a wooden bench where there were no people and sat there.
I put Speranza on my lap to avoid her clothes from getting dirty.
When the packaged waffle was taken out, a savory smell spread out in all directions.
I cut the waffle in half.
Speranza’s eyes sparkled when she received the waffle with both hands.
She opened her mouth wide and bit the waffle.
MUNCH
“Is it good?”
“Yes, Papa.”
Speranza replied with waffles still in her mouth.
It seemed to suit her taste more than I expected.
Should I get a waffle maker for the farm?
I don’t think the way to make it is too difficult.
“I want to eat it too, Popi!”
“Okay. Wait a minute.”
I cut the waffle in half and tore the remaining waffles into very small pieces so that Gyuri could eat them.
“Wow! This is so sweet, Popi. But, the strawberries we made are more delicious than this strawberry, popi!”
“Un, Papa’s stawberry are the best.”
“Really?”
We really need to make waffles from the farm strawberries on the farm
While I was taking care of Speranza and Gyuri, my mother was taking care of Akum.
Pow wow wooooo
Akum didn’t eat the other parts of the waffle, but only enjoyed the banana.
My mother picked out the bananas herself and let Akum eat comfortably.
“Mom, isn’t that waffle bad without bananas? Do you want to trade it for mine?”
“It’s okay. This is enough.”
Mother gently stroked Akum on her lap as she ate the leftover waffle.
After the waffle snack time, which was much more satisfying than we thought, we left the park and started walking again.
Even though it was near my house, I found an electronics store, which I have never seen before, while walking along a path I don’t usually go to.
‘Was there a store like this before?’
While looking at the store without thinking much, I suddenly remembered that we needed an air conditioner at home.
“Mom! Don’t we need an air conditioner at home?”
“Air conditioner? Isn’t it fine with a few fans?”
“Oh, no mom. It’s going to be much hotter in the coming days. Let’s go buy one now.”
A few months back, life was so hard that we didn’t have time to worry about the heat, but it’s different now.
My mother is healthy again, and my bank account is full.
Perhaps because of the memories of difficult times, my mother looked reluctant.
But I forced my mother and entered the electronics store.
“Welcome, sir!”
As soon as we entered the store, an employee rushed out and greeted us.
“I’m here to see the air conditioner for my house.”
“Oh! You’re so lucky to be here, Sir! We’re having an event in our store to celebrate the summer. Come this way please.”
The staff quickly guided us to the location of the air conditioner products.
Even though it was a weekday morning, there were many other customers in the store.
In order not to cause any inconvenience to others, I asked Akum and Gyuri to stay quiet for a while.
The store staff explained in detail one by one, from the latest air conditioner to the most popular products.
Of course, I nodded roughly because of the functionality, some modern system……and half of it was a hard-to-understand explanation.
“I’m going to install one in the living room, one in my mother’s room, and one in my room.”
My mother was surprised, and the employee’s eyes lit up.
“What? There is no need for it in my room? All I need is a fan.”
“ Mom, Fans can’t keep you cool in this summer heat. These days all the houses are like this.”
“Your son is right, ma’am! There are a lot of people who install air conditioners in each room, so there are products in bundles. Summer is getting hotter these days, so we can’t live without the air conditioner.”
Mother still looked hesitant.
“ Think about Speranza. What if she wants to sleep with her grandmother? Do you want her to sleep in that heat? Speranza darling, don’t you want to sleep with grandma, too?”
“Un, I want to sleep with grandma.”
Our Speranza! She understood my feelings and acted well.
Whether Speranza’s excuse worked, my mother said with an expression that she couldn’t help it.
“Don’t worry mom. Your son is making a lot of money. I earn it all for my mom and Speranza.”
Pow wow wooooo!
“What about me, popi?!”
Akum and Gyuri made a sound as if they were disappointed.
“Yes, yes! You guys are precious, too.”
The store employee looked at the stroller with a slightly strange expression, but he quickly regained his business smile when I said that I would buy an air conditioner.
While listening to the specific date of installation of the air conditioner and the explanation of the event in progress at the store, Speranza suddenly started moving somewhere.
“Ah? Speranza?”
