My girlfriend is so good to me-Episode 177
Ep. 177
As Sarangi entered elementary school, there were several changes in Sarang's life..
First of all, Sarang’s room.
It was a while ago that Hee-seong vacated the room when his older brother became independent, but it was around the time when Sarang entered school that he started using the room alone..
If you don't have enough space, I thought it would be a good idea to have a personal space from now on if you have room at home. She also liked decorating her room the way she wanted..
Of course, he often came into our room while we were sleeping, but since he was still young, it couldn't be helped..
Moreover, the little child's body was very warm, so it felt very good to sleep while holding Sarang. Sometimes, in the middle of the morning, Heena would take Sarang away from me and sleep in her arms..
"Ugh... it's warm..."
"...photo, photo."
The sight of Heena sleeping while hugging Sarangi, which I sometimes see at such times, is really cute. She seemed like she was worth 200 billion, not 2, with the addition of cuteness and cuteness. That's why she took pictures a few times.
Next, should I go to school?.
When I went to daycare or kindergarten, my mother-in-law and I always helped Sarang go to school. Of course, there was a vehicle operated there, but it was close anyway and it felt safe to take it ourselves..
However, after entering elementary school, I taught Sarang to be able to go alone except for the first few times. I was worried, but we couldn't live with each other in our arms forever..
And to name a few important things we taught them, they were to only travel on main roads, to go together when meeting friends, how to use a security bell, and how to use a smartphone. Because safety is the most important.
Well, actually, there was a time when me, my mother-in-law, and my father-in-law took turns secretly following him. However, our smart love never forgot or violated anything we seriously warned or taught her..
"When crossing the crosswalk?"
"Watch the car coming before you cross! Don't run! raise your hand and cross!"
"That's right~ Our love is so, so smart~"
"Hehehe!"
Thanks to you, we were all able to feel relieved right away..
The last part is related to pocket money..
We also started giving Sarang pocket money when she entered elementary school. Before that, if you wanted something to eat or have, anyone would buy it for you..
Of course, the things I received from my family until then were saved in Sarang’s name. However, the things we did not receive from both Heena and I but from other relatives...we used them well..
In no way does it mean that we used it privately..
When I was young, I thought my parents took the money I received from relatives and used it to help with household expenses, but after having children, I realized that was not the case..
The money that Sarang received, we held back and returned it to our relatives' children. It's literally money that goes around..
However, because Sarang was so cute, she secretly received more pocket money than the other kids, so she had something left over. Of course, I saved those things well in the name of love..
Anyway, starting this year, Sarang’s allowance was 10,000 won a week. Given every Monday. You might think that it's too much money for a first-year student, but that amount never ended up in Sarang's hands..
Hee-na gives Sarang a little more to get her into the habit of saving. Basically, half of it was unconditionally saved, so my pocket money was actually 5,000 won..
This may seem like a lot, but looking at Sarang, it seemed okay for now. On Sunday evening, Sarang goes to Heena with her remaining pocket money..
"mom! I want to save money!"
"okay? how much is left?"
"3,000 won!"
"good. I wrote my pocket money entry well.?"
"huh!"
"good job~"
Except for the first 5,000 won, we do not force Sarang to save the remaining pocket money. Collecting is good, but you also need to know how to use it..
But Sarangi was not the type to waste money on snacks. Although she really likes sweets, she doesn't buy and eat them on her own..
Whenever you're with me, 'Dad, I want to eat this!' 'Let's eat that!' Like this.
Looking at Sarang's pocket money entry, most of it was spent when she was with us, except for small expenses when playing with friends..
During our walks that we go out almost every week, sometimes when we get hooked on street food, we think, 'I want to eat that!' Sarang wants to live!' This is how you use your own pocket money..
She is a good daughter who does not eat alone and always gives me and Heena a bite each. We were also very happy to see Sarang using her pocket money in this way..
How could it not be so? He's so kind.

As Sarangi's daily life changed, there were things that we, too, had to change little by little or participate in as Sarangi's parents..
100% The life that revolved around Sarang gave us freedom as Sarang grew, and because of that, we also had time to use more flexibly..
Among them, one of the things I was most looking forward to was the Green Mothers' Association activities. You might say this is nonsense, but I had quite a dream..
It is an activity that allows me to feel deeply in my heart that I am a parent of a child and a father of Sarang. Last time, the school asked parents who could help to apply, so I quickly did so..
It was difficult for Heena to participate because she had to come to work at a certain time, but I had no major problems because I could adjust my work time to some extent. This is something I do briefly in the morning anyway..
And just a few days after applying, I received news that I had joined the Transportation Volunteer Corps. Well, actually, you can attend unconditionally as long as you apply..
After waiting and waiting with excitement since then, my turn has finally come..
"I like it that much?"
"Doesn’t that sound like fun? And when I was a kid and saw my mom doing this in the crosswalk, it made her feel good for some reason."
"Cook, click, then take care of your love~ Be careful with the car, too.."
"I protect the safety in front of Love School....!"
"Fighting, self!"
Early in the morning, I finished preparing for departure with Heena’s support. And that too without knowing love. She didn't tell her lover because she thought it would be a surprise..
That's why, while Sarang is in the bathroom, he quickly puts on his shoes and goes outside..
And I headed to school with light steps. The school was close enough that it was okay for Sarang to go to school alone, so I was able to get there quickly..
I went straight to the parents' room on the first floor, and several mothers were already chatting inside..
I was a little scared because I was the only man, but honestly, I was prepared. Usually, my husband won't be able to come because he's working..
"hello! I hope you take care of me today!"
"Oh my, love is not my father?"
"Ah yes! uh..."
"This is Se-yeon’s mom. She came to the entrance ceremony and also applied for this.."
"Ah, Se-yeon’s mother! I heard that Se-yeon often plays with our love...."
"Ah, Sarang is playing. Whenever my child comes home, I always talk about love.~
Fortunately, there was someone who recognized me, so I didn't have to wait awkwardly. It was the same at daycare, but when parents came to gatherings like this, there were quite a few people who remembered Nana Heena..
I guess I remember it because we are a very young couple..
As Se-yeon was talking with her mother, other people around her also quietly joined in the conversation..
"oh my god. I thought you found a part-time job, but you turned out to be a parent.~"
"Iknow, right. But her mother didn't come..."
"The child's mother goes to work. I applied because I could adjust the time. I wanted to try this."
"Oh my, how funny is this?~"
From then on, we chatted for a while. Then she found out that the people gathered now were all mothers of first graders..
So, during the conversation, I naturally spilled about our educational backgrounds, jobs, etc..
"Both of them graduated from Seoyeon University.?"
"yes. we're lucky..."
"How is that luck? Then there is no need to send him to academy.~"
I didn't bring this up to brag, but since they were such a young couple, some people might have a slightly negative opinion of them..
It doesn't matter if those things are just for me, but if I'm not careful, Sarang could be harmed. Now, even though I'm laughing haha, I can go home and tell my children things like, 'That kid is like this and that, so don't play with him~'.
Just looking at it now, I can clearly see that people's views on him have changed very favorably since he and Heena both graduated from Seoyeon University..
Well, I think it's something that can't be helped. Because social gaze is something that cannot be simply ignored,.
Anyway, now that the information has been released here, it will naturally spread among parents. I was 100% sure that this happened in kindergarten and daycare. Parents’ information network is no joke. In the first place, there was a separate group chat room. Although Heena was in there.
As we were talking like that, one of the teachers seemed to have time and called us together..
"Parents, please come here.!"
---
Where to stand and simple precautions. After confirming the time and other information with the teacher again, I headed out. With vest, hat and flag.
And when I took a seat in front of the crosswalk, it was already fun. I haven't done anything yet.
What should I do with this? I want to do it every day.
I thought about such random thoughts for a while, but then children began to appear one by one and blocked the crosswalk with flags..
Then, when the light turns green, raise the flag. If you see a car that seems to be accelerating slightly, step forward and block it with a wave of your hand. Stop children from running away.
Even though it wasn't much, it was quite rewarding. Not only because it protects the children's safety, but because they are children, they are all cute..
furthermore.
"hello!"
"Yes, bye~"
There were also children who occasionally bowed and said hello. This is mainly from lower-grade kids around Sarangi's age, and whenever he is greeted, he responds as kindly as possible..
Ah, dog fun!
It must have been about 30 minutes since I was healing myself during volunteer work before going to work. A familiar figure began to appear in the distance..
It's our love!
Beside him, his neighbor cousin Joo-eun was walking along, holding his hand. Since we live nearby and the kids' departure times vary, we often go to school together like that. Besides that, there were a couple of other kids who said hello to me as if they were friends..
We, Ju-eun's mom, and probably other moms also tended to recommend that because it felt safer if the children gathered together to go to and from school together..
Anyway, Sarang arrived at the opposite crosswalk and waited for the signal to change behind her mother's flag on the other side..
After a while, the light changed to green and the flag went up, but Sarangi did not start right away but stopped and looked both ways once..
And only after confirming that the car had completely stopped, he raised one hand up and held Jooeun's hand with the other and began to slowly walk across the crosswalk..
Whose daughter was it? It was really, really great..
Barely suppressing the urge to applaud and shed tears, they smiled happily and raised the flag..
But when Sarang was halfway across the crosswalk, he suddenly stopped. Staring at me intently.
Um, did you notice? It might not be easy to recognize at first glance since he is wearing a vest and a hat pressed down..
In a desperate situation, Sarang started crossing the road again at a fast pace..
As I get closer, I can clearly see it, with a smile so bright.
"Dad!!!!"
