Episode 104

New talent is always welcome.

Kim Jung-hyun’s talent and friendliness were included in the story of Su-ah’s growth (2) along with her talent.

By the way, friendliness… … .

It was indeed a talent worthy of Kim Jung-hyun.

There were times when I was jealous of that when we worked together at the same company.

I did have some social skills that I learned through my work life, but they weren’t something I was born with.

In contrast, Kim Jung-hyun just became like that as if he was breathing.

Wherever he went, he was the kind of guy who would quickly blend in with people.

Judging from the fact that he quickly became friends with Lee Sun-ah and Han Song-yi, he was truly an amazing guy.

It’s not easy for either of them to become close, but their first impression isn’t easy…

‘Come to think of it, when did I become close with those two?’

We’ve become close… right?

It could just be my opinion.

Well, as long as it’s not uncomfortable, that’s fine.

They both felt like little sisters, so I felt comfortable whenever I came.

But is Hansong really your younger sibling?

Anyway, it wasn’t important.

There really is a lot of talent gathered here.

“If there had been no Manseonggong, there would have been too many and it would have been difficult.”

I was fortunate to be able to use my various talents in harmony with the five elements of fire, water, wood, metal, and earth.

anyway.

There seems to be no need to look into new talents separately.

I know Kim Jung-hyun’s friendliness very well.

And if I had gone in with the talent of Geum-saeng or Mok-saeng, I would have had a hard time, but I went in with the talent of Su-saeng.

The fact that Soo-ah’s growth was tied together means that their personalities are similar.

‘Growth isn’t something I do separately.’

It was a talent that applied to me in and of itself.

Of course, if this is going to work in drinks or desserts, I’d have to check it out, but it didn’t seem to be much different from what I was thinking.

“Anyway, I never thought I would get this… … .”

Most of the other guests. No, almost all of them were people I was seeing for the first time.

So, I never thought I was jealous of their talents because I didn’t even know they had them and they were all in bad shape.

But Kim Jung-hyun was a little different. First of all, he was an acquaintance I had known for a long time, and although he was my junior, he was a friend from whom I could learn a lot.

So, the talent I gained this time feels a little different.

“Use it well.”

I tried mumbling something that no one could hear.

Oh no! Now is not the time to be doing this.

I quickly went into the kitchen.

And he took out a cup. It wasn’t the usual glass cup, it was a reusable cup.

This was also something that Kim Jung-hyun gave.

There are a lot in my office.

It felt strangely salesy, but I guess what’s good is good… … It looked better than a disposable cup, so I took it for now.

And I just happened to have something to write about today.

‘Would you like something cool?’

I took out the pre-made noodles.

Lime, lemon, peach, plum, apple mint, etc.

During the rainy season, most fruits were made into syrup.

This is probably the best way to keep fruit in good condition for a long time. It’s also easy to make.

How easy is it? Just wash the fruit thoroughly with the peel, slice it thinly, mix it with sugar, and store it in a glass jar.

If you make it like this, you will have a lot of use in the summer.

anyway.

For now, I’ve decided to only use lemon and lime juice among these.

They were both good for energy replenishment as they were rich in vitamins and had a refreshing taste.

So we’ve chosen the menu, and now…

“How many glasses do you need?”

I had a bit of trouble deciding on the amount.

‘Let’s just make it generous.’

It didn’t seem like he’d have just one drink.

I don’t know how many people will come.

In times like this, it’s better to just make plenty and leave some.

And then I took out enough cups to hold the rest with both hands.

Of course, it wasn’t two because I was going to put them in the carrier.

“Half and half.”

Fill a glass with ice and add half a lemon and half a lime.

And a thinly sliced ​​slice of lemon and lime.

Finally, pour in the carbonated water and add the mint leaves to complete the lemonade and limeade!

[Lemonade]

*effect

─ Strengthening vitality

─Farming

─Reverse emission generation

The effects of farming and reverse oscillation were added separately.

Same goes for lime.

If we use harmony here… … .

─One thousand against one

The effect was so great that even one person could do several things.

The harmony was good. It really made a drink that was delicious and effective.

‘Then the drinks are ready.’

Instead of getting ready for business, I put on my work clothes.

Why are you suddenly wearing work clothes?

That’s because I got a call from the village chief early in the morning.

There was an elder in the village who was farming rice and he was short on manpower so he asked if I could help him just today.

There was a person who was originally working there, but he said he couldn’t come because something came up for about a week.

Actually, the person who actually did the farming was someone who had nothing to do with me… … .

But since we are from the same village, and the village chief asked me to do it urgently.

Since I have received a lot of help from the village chief, I said I would do it of course.

Originally, we had to help each other out in these kinds of things. Since we only had to go out today anyway, the burden was less.

The situation was urgent.

After the rainy season ended, a lot of weeds grew in the fields, but if we just leave it for a week, there will be chaos.

But they say that if you pull it out now, you can buy about a week… … .

So I participated with a light heart.

however.

“The author is here too?”

“Because I thought it would be fun!”

“ah.”

I was able to meet unexpected people at the site.

Han Song-i looked somehow excited. And next to her was Lee Seon-ah, who had a look of obvious reluctance on her face.

But even so… … .

“Hmm… … .”

“why?”

In Lee Seon-ah’s hand was a small pocket camera.

The content monster is back again… … .

“Haha! Are they all here? Then let’s go.” The time hasn’t fully dawned on me yet.

The village chief set off in a pickup truck, not just any truck.

I thought it was strange that Hansongi was having fun, but I realized that I was actually having a little fun too.

As I was driving and looking at the scenery around me, I found the situation itself interesting.

It feels like I’ve come to the countryside to do farm work.

Is it because there are two people of the same age?

“I wanted to try something like farm work in college, and this is what I ended up doing.”

Hansong-i must have had the same thought.

“There are a lot of things you haven’t done, Sister.”

“Yeah. Maybe it’s because I only dug one path? Thinking back now, I kind of regret it.”

“But it was a huge hit from the start.”

“That’s true. Heh.”

It seemed like every life had its pros and cons. And the quality of life seemed to change depending on how you accepted them.

The car slowly drove along the country road while I could hear Han Song-i and Lee Seon-ah chatting away in the backseat.

Cheonho-ri Village is located at a higher elevation than expected, so it is quite a distance to the rice paddies.

Of course, it only takes about 10 minutes by car.

“By the way, your mood has changed a bit, hasn’t it?”

“Huh? What’s the mood?”

The village chief glanced at me and said, “Are you talking about the effect of affinity?”

“When I first came here, it felt like it would explode if I touched it.”

“Hmm. It’s not like I can blow it up, is it?”

“Haha! Look at this. You even know how to make such unfunny jokes.”

I’m not kidding.

If it was the village chief, he would have blown me up faster than I would have blown up. Why does it seem like it’s getting bigger and bigger?

“Do you exercise these days?”

“Yes, I’m trying to do it lightly.”

I said this, but it’s true.

‘After I took a shower, I looked in the mirror and was a bit surprised.’

Manseonggong was definitely changing not only my thoughts and spirit, but also my body.

But it wasn’t really noticeable over my clothes yet.

If you beat around the bush like this, you’ll have something to say even if you notice the change later.

“Okay, okay. I don’t know about anything else, but definitely do the lower body.”

“Haha… … Yes.”

As we talked about this and that, we finally arrived at the rice paddy. It wasn’t a huge field, but it was wide enough to be worked by hand.

“Are you here?”

“hello.”

“hello!”

“Haha! Okay, okay. Thanks.”

When I got out of the car, there was an old man who seemed to be the owner of the field.

If my grandfather were alive, wouldn’t he have been around the same age?

You’re still farming at that age. You’re so smart.

Well, you look healthy just by looking at it. Is there a secret?

“Just pull out things that look like this. Don’t pull out the rice.”

“Yes. Ah! Please eat this first.”

After that, we went straight into the work description.

The moment I heard that explanation and was about to put on my boots and enter the fields full of green rice.

“Oh, that’s right.”

I remembered the drink I bought.

I originally intended to give it to you before you got in the car, but I forgot.

“Oh, all this stuff… … .”

“Wow! I’ll eat well!”

He took out the drinks that he had placed on the floor in front of him and handed them out to everyone.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Hansong took a sip, then let out an incomprehensible exclamation with exclamation marks in her eyes.

Same goes for other people.

“Wow! This is so new.”

“Is it too sour?”

“Haha! No. That’s good. It feels like my body and mind are both awake.”

I’m glad that the response wasn’t bad. I brought it because I needed the effect rather than the taste, but it would be nice if it tasted good too.

After everyone had enjoyed their meal, it was now time to start the real work.

“Hold one line at a time, and when you come back, hold one line at a time.”

“yes~”

The blood draw began with Song-i’s still excited answer.

This was a difficult task as it had to be pulled out by hand.

The mud from the discussion made my feet heavy, and I had to bend down to pull out the blood that had grown in clumps.

Also, why is he so tough?

Even pulling it out took some effort.

Above all… … as the sun slowly rose and began to illuminate the rice paddies without a single shade, I had to fight the heat.

It seems that the work of drawing blood from the fields was actually the same as drying up people’s blood.

But I couldn’t just leave it like that.

Because if the blood eats up all the nutrients in the rice, the rice will not ripen properly.

If that happens, the whole year’s farming will be ruined.

So it was really hard work, but it was really important work.

If we think about how the meals we eat come about in this way, what would it be like to gain a new perspective on the labor of production?

Whether it’s gardening or lawn maintenance, I get that feeling after doing the most basic but important things.

The products of labor are truly precious.

In this way, rice farming in the countryside was natural.

The perspective of looking at the documents being created day and night, buried in the forest of buildings in the city, also feels expanded.

Should I say that I feel with my body the world that I had only seen through a magnifying glass?

Maybe it’s because I can feel the reward as much as the effort is felt through the feel of sweat.

In the city, you feel like you’ve done your job only after your paycheck arrives in your account, so I couldn’t feel it right away.

That’s why… … .

‘It’s strange how I feel healed even though I’m working.’

Even though it’s hard, I feel strangely proud.

It was really interesting. You can feel this even without harvesting crops.

Is it true that people need to be close to the soil and the earth?

I continued on like that, emptying my mind of all sorts of thoughts. When it started to get a little difficult, I raised my head and looked around.

“Wow~! Look at this! There’s a baby duck over there!”

“Haha! It’s supposed to be used to catch and eat bugs.”

“Really? So you’re raising it?”

“Then. They are all our ducks.”

Surprisingly, Hansong looks quite relaxed.

I am amazed by the ducklings running through the fields. I also brag about the ducks that have grown to be very large.

Wow, the work was done in a way that was unimaginable when I first saw it, to the point where I thought, “Wow, a person can be that bright.”

The drink may have an effect, but I guess it’s because I’m really enjoying what I’m doing right now?

That may be why the old man who owned the field kept smiling as he worked alongside me.

‘Hmm? Actually, it seems like Grandpa is doing everything?’

It seemed like the grandfather was passing by and giving the rope that Song-i had taken care of.

And the village chief was silently helping Lee Seon-ah with the rope.

‘Wait a minute. So I’m the only one doing this?’

Somehow I felt a little lonely.

Aang ang!

Still, the swan that had followed in the car barked outside the field as if to cheer them on.

He slept soundly in the car, and now he seems to have woken up a little.

But it’s cheering, right?

“Wow! I’ve already finished one line!”

“Me too.”

Han Song-i and Lee Seon-ah finished their lines and looked at me.

Of course, the village chief and the owner’s grandfather were also there.

I’m the only one who hasn’t finished even a single line.

Somehow I feel wronged.

There was a slight misstep as the four people starting the second line crossed.

‘I have to do it right.’

I didn’t know this would happen, but I received a blessing from SsukSsuk before coming.

What this means is that this is also possible.

Sarah~

Aura permeated my hands and body.
