RDD 122
We entered the cinema and had fun. We munched popcorn while watching the animation about chickens... Sophia actually cried when one of the chickens was killed.
"Wwuuwuuuwuu, I don't want that to happen to my chickens and ducks! Dajjy, you have to pwomise me that you will never stew our chickens and ducks! Wuuwuuwuwu!"
"..."
I didn't know how to respond. Because I actually thought of turning one of them into Chicken Adobo.
"Sweetheart, those chickens are forty-five days chickens. They are meant to be eaten."
Penelope tried to explain to the little girl.
"No!"
Unfortunately, Sophia was adamant to keep the chickens and ducks. Well, she liked giving them feeds so the chickens and ducks grew fat and healthy. One of the reasons why I want to eat them.
Our time in the cinema ended and we went to construction supplies to buy pink paintings and many things for renovation.
"Dajjy, can you make a door that connects to your room? I want to go to your room whenever I want."
Our room and her room were next to each other. It was possible to make a door to our room.
"... Okay, baby."
I reluctantly agreed because she was looking at me with her adorable gaze.
I glanced at my wife and she agreed by nodding her head.
"We can use the door to get to Sophia's room faster."
"Yay!"
She clapped her hands happily.
"How about you, Roman? Do you have something you want?"
I turned to my son and rubbed his hair again even though he didn't like it.
"Dad, I want a small bookshelf. Something that I can reach to store my books."
"Okay."
As expected of my smart son. He knew his priority.
"Oh, and one computer pedestal. Grandma promised me that she will give me a computer once I started going to elementary."
"..."
I didn't know that. Do young kids even need computers? Do elementary kids have computer subjects? Probably not, as of now.
Besides, does Roman even know how to use computers? Well, kids easily adapted to high-tech gadgets so it won't probably be a problem... I just hope that my Mom would not buy an expensive one. I'm already good with those old ass computers that can run Doom and Warcraft:Orcs and Human.
N- Now that I think about it, if Roman received a computer from my Mom, can I play games too?
"Dajjy, you're grinning like a bwad guy." Sophia tapped my arm with her small hand and muttered.
"S- Sorry."
Nah, I shouldn't be greedy. That's my son's gift(upcoming) from his grandmother, I didn't have to use it.
"Roman, if your grandma is really interested in giving you a computer, you have to promise me that you will stay up all night playing games. Do you understand?"
"..."
"Why are you not answering?"
"Dad, I can't promise that. Whenever I okay games, I can't control myself."
"This kid..."
At least Roman had a childish side in him. Roman was a good kid, he respected us, and he behave well. However, he does love playing games very much.
"Roman, as your mother, I will spank your ass if you keep playing games."
Penelope smiled at the boy but her smile was a bit scary.
"... Yes, Mom." Roman nodded in the end. It seemed that the kids were scared of Penelope more than me.
Anyway, we bought the things we need. Sophia's room already had everything, it just needed some changes suitable for the kids.
"Should I hire a Nanny?"
I asked myself.
"It's fine. I'm always there for the kids. I can take care of them." Penelope answered.
"No, I'm worried that you don't have time for me if you keep taking care of the kids."
I teased her and leaned closer.
"Geez, Keith, aren't you being greedy? You want to steal my time that should belong to the kids."
"Is it that bad?"
"... Earn more money then we can talk about it." She smiled.
Alright! It seemed that Penelope was not against the idea.
"But before hiring a Nanny, you should find someone to take care of the cash register first. I think Santiago and Waylen can be trusted."
"They are trusted people but they already adapted to the work in the kitchen."
"Ask them tomorrow if they want to. I'm sure Santiago didn't have a problem taking care of the cash register."
Santiago and Penelope were siblings. In fact, Penelope was the one in charge of changing Santiago's diaper... This information was irrelevant but I just want to share it.
Anyway, all I want to say was that Santiago could be trusted. I knew him more than Waylen.
"Hm, maybe I can do that. I'll ask him tomorrow."
Because our profit for the first month was a bit too good to be true... We decided to hire some people to renovate Sophia's room. This time, I contacted Brother Sean since he has high authority over the construction company.
"Are you really sure about this, brother?"
"It's alright, this is my way of apologizing to you. I failed to keep it a secret from Mom."
Sean visited us after he heard that we were going to renovate Sophia's room.
He bought some gifts for the kids. However, I was shocked when I realized that I didn't have to pay for the renovation.
"It's free. You don't have to worry about the money. The company will take care of it."
"Shouldn't you be the one to take care of it?"
"Nah, it's that same. I basically own the company anyway."
"Dad had the highest share so it's his company, not yours."
"Okay, fine. Just don't think about the money."
"Thanks, brother."
Sean shrugged and watched the people renovate the room... To be honest, he was a bit strict and glared at the workers saying that they should work seriously.
I heard that these people only have minimum wage... As expected of my Dad's company, he wanted to keep the profit as much as possible. Or perhaps Sean was the one responsible for increasing their salary and he was just being an asshole. This is not part of my jurisdiction so I can't interfere.
I didn't want to see my Dad either.
