Chapter 142: Chapter 141
Kang Hyuk turned around and saw Hong Ruiger sitting in a chair. He was smiling as if he was happy to see the basketful Ten Thousand Years Rose flowers.
“After the nine days, the day after the vacation.”
“Huh, so it’s the evening of the 10th day.”
“Right.”
“I’d say use a lantern. what do you think?”
“Lanterns...”
Kang Hyuk stroked his chin.
“At night, hnngh, there’s nothing more beautiful than a light.”
Kang Hyuk nodded.
“That’s a good idea. And there are a few Spiritual Herbs that glow themselves at night.”
Ten Thousand Years Rose and Ten Hundred Flower, already planted in Yeonkyo Garden, also shone at night. Especially on a moonlit night, it gave off even more splendid glow.
“That Ten Thousand Years Rose. I put in a few more than you asked. Try to make something out of it for Aerin.”
“Okay. You gave me so much, so of course I’ll make you that much.”
“Right?”
Kang Hyuk grinned.
“So make one more when you’re at it.”
“Huh?”
Kang Hyuk spoke to Hong Ruiger’s refutation.
“Just make a simple cosmetics for light makeup in ten days.”
Hong Ruiger noted ten days.
“Hnngh, is this a present to be used for the Semester End Party?”
“Yes.”
Usually, thin makeup was recommended not only to female students but also for Teacher, but for Semester End Party, heavy makeup was nothing to be ashamed of.
“Who is she?”
“Why are you asking?”
Hong Ruiger answered the reply quickly.
“Of course, it’s to make the best cosmetics. The best make-up is the one that suits you! I need to know.”
Kang Hyuk sighed and eventually answered as it was to make good cosmetics.
” Teacher Ok Haemi.”
“Oh, I see.”
Hong Ruiger smiled meaningfully, and with that smile Kang Hyuk regretted telling him.
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have tell him that.’
In the meantime, Kang Hyuk has bothered Ok Haemi quite a bit to ask the details he didn’t know. But she had never been annoyed. He thought it would be okay to give her cosmetics as a thank you gift.
“For the record, it means nothing. It’s just a token of gratitude.”
“Of course, I didn’t say anything.”
“...Uh, okay.”
Two days later. When Kang Hyuk was submitting a quiz question for the theory evaluation, he was informed that the pond had been completed. But Kang Hyuk didn’t run straight there. As it was more important to pick a question right now. Kang Hyuk was Teacher, and it was obligatory to give good exam questions. He had to not forget his duty.
The exam questions were four questions, five points each for one question. Unlike other military subjects, liberal arts subjects collected all students from all years taking classes at once to evaluate the theory. The evaluation time was before dinner after all classes and was not given regular hours. And most importantly, the theoretical evaluation of horticulture classes was just tomorrow evening.
“Okay... this is perfect.”
Kang Hyuk, who finished writing the theoretical evaluation paper, ruffled the paper and put it in his sleeve. Security was important for the quiz, and the most secure place was his body.
“Then shall we go to Yeonkyo Garden? Chulmook should be waiting.”
After a while. Kang Hyuk arrived at Yeonkyo Garden, and Ji Chulmook, who saw him, was sitting up and jumped up.
“Big Brother! You’re finally here!”
Ji Chulmook was so happy that Kang Hyuk who came late, felt sorry.
“Sorry I’m late.”
“No, Assistant Chun told me. You made the test for tomorrow.”
“I did. Teacher’s duty is not to neglect.”
Kang Hyuk looked at the newly arranged pond.
“Is it finally finished?”
“Yes.”
The new pond was built next to the pavilion. The edges of the pond, which was dominated by winding curves, had oddly shaped rocks surrounding it. Of course that deployment was by the order of Kang Hyuk.
“Now you can plant the plants you want.”
“Thanks.”
It was before the plant was planted, so it wasn’t exactly completed and there was no water within the pond yet. Of course, there were facilities that draw water from the next river and facilities that allow water to escape to prevent flooding already in place. Kang Hyuk had his reason having Ji Chulmook to take the job.
“Then when is the completion?”
Asked by Ji Chulmook, Kang Hyuk said, patting his chin.
“I said its about to be finished by tomorrow, but it won’t be completed tomorrow. I’ve got some aquatic plants I got.”
“What? We don’t have to finish it tomorrow?”
“It’s all right. Tomorrow was approximate due for completion, not a definite date.”
They had a few more days to get to Semester End Party anyway, so they decided not to rush.
‘Should I think about what kind of plant I’m going to plant now?’
It was the next day.
Kang Hyuk headed to Yeonkyo Garden since early morning. It was because he had to evaluate the plants that he had taken care of. It was a practical evaluation in the morning and a theoretical evaluation in the afternoon.
“Hello, teacher?”
“Good morning.”
Kang Hyuk came to Yeonkyo Garden’s flower bed as he passed by students, and saw the plants they planted. The plants that had been sealed were already in full bloom.
“Today, as previously announced, I will make a practical assessment.”
Then one Student raised his hand and asked a question.
“Teacher, will you give us five roots of Dong Jinseng if we really get the best score in the final evaluation, as you said before?”
Kang Hyuk nodded at the question.
“Yes. I don’t lie.”
At Kang Hyuk’s reply, the students cheered quietly.
“Then start the assessment. Assistant Chun.”
At Kang Hyuk’s call Chun Hakwang handed him a book that looked like an Attendance Book.
It was a book that contained if the students cared for the plants every day. To mark it, Chun Hakwang had to come out to Yeonkyo Garden early in the morning. After checking it and the development status of each plant, Kang Hyuk scored immediately. The practice of gardening was five out of five. On top of that, the practice scores that have been done so far will be combined to give the final practice scores.
