As the weather warms up, people's tastes also become stronger. Many street lights become covered in red lanterns, and supermarkets start to showcase all their red-colored goods.
Jennie had always thought that their Korean ancestors were quite wise, decorating their houses fire-themed to combat the snow.
"Are we really just getting these?" Lisa looked at their shopping cart with some apprehension.
In preparation for their visit to his in-laws, Lisa pulled Jennie to a nearby supermarket to buy some New Year's gifts.
"Rest assured, my dad's only hobby is to smoke and drink."
After Jennie said this, Lisa pointed at the items and sternly warned: "You're not allowed to learn from him."
Looking at the cart again, Lisa commented: "Still, these products are too cheap, we should get two bottles of Wine." Lisa wasn't satisfied with the prices of the wines Jennie chose.
"No, no we have to buy just the one or else he'll stash the other bottle. The cigarettes shouldn't be too expensive either, though they do have to be imported. One time he went with my mother to the supermarket and secretly bought the same brand of cigarettes." Jennie knew his dad's nature.
"Wait, so...you chose imported cigarettes and alcohol to prevent your dad from secretly swapping them with newly bought packs?" Lisa discovered Jennie's trick after some careful thought.
(T/N: Like her dad pretends he's only had one cigarette when he's already finished the whole pack and bought another one. That's why she's getting imported things.)
"Smart!" Jennie praised.
"What about aunt? Aren't we buying too little vitamins?" Lisa pointed to the small number of bottles in the shopping cart.
"I also bought her some clothes already." Jennie replied.
"Should I buy something for her too? I heard that the elderly like gold. Should I go and buy a gold bracelet for aunt?" Lisa remembered that there were a few jewelry stores on the first floor of the mall.
"You don't need to wonder, gold is something near and dear to my mother's heart." Jennie carelessly commented this as she thought back to an incident with her mother and a greedy aunt's gold bracelet. The aunt boasted that her gold bracelet was given to her by her daughter-in-law.
"Then should I go ahead and buy it?" Lisa turned and directly pushed the cart into the direction of the nearest jewelry store.
"Why are you so eager, I haven't finished talking. Our custom is for the daughter-in-law to buy a gold bracelet for their in-law." Jennie pulled Lisa to a stop.
"Ah? You have this custom? Then should I buy a gold necklace?" Lisa suggested.
"If you're thinking about things like this, you might as well put all your thinking power to how you're going to get my parents to accept you." Jennie smiled. "Don't forget that I eloped. What's more, it's only been half a year and already the man I'm bringing home changed."
"But it wasn't your fault?" Lisa asked.
"Yes, but the thing is, you're going back with me this year." Jennie continued, spreading her hands. "I was going to announce the break up this year then take you back next year."
"Then wouldn't I have to be hidden away for a year?" Lisa didn't want that. "I would rather face your parents now and take the blame."
