I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 47
Only Krnovel
Episode 47
The aura that was dancing stayed around the three families and expanded to the garden.
And the auras that were playing in the garden seeped into the growing crops like rain.
‘You’ll grow up so well… Yes?’
Crops grow in places permeated with aura.
In particular, the crops planted this time with Hajun stood out.
The seedlings that had just been planted and had not yet taken root have turned green.
The seeds I sowed haven’t sprouted yet, but since they’ve been infused with the aura, that too will happen quickly.
‘I wonder what the crops will be like over there.’
The aura of the three families made the garden even more vibrant.
I wonder if the crops that come out are as full of love as those? I guess I’ll have to work hard to grow them again.
I wish another guy like Ssuk Ssuk would come out.
In fact, it was Ssuk-Ssuk’s blessing that played a big role in that family being able to come this far.
At the same time, I learned how to use blessings.
Those who visit the cafe aren’t the only ones who need rest and healing.
Rather, there are probably more people who cannot find it.
So, sometimes it would be good to go out like this and lead those people here.
─Blessing (1/1)
After all, if you look at the number of times it has been filled like this, this is also a cycle.
At that time, I was feeling proud looking at my garden!
Rangi poked his head out from the roof.
“Huh? It’s a meow!”
Hajun saw that and shouted.
He woke up after taking a long nap.
Why~?
I shrugged my shoulders at Rangi’s expression, which seemed to ask, “Who is that person?”
If you’re curious, come down and take a look.
Langi seemed to ignore my intentions as expected, and then came down straight away.
“Huh? Meow… … .”
I walked past the three families and proudly entered the cafe.
My way, after all.
“Shall we go in now?”
“Oh, yes. Thanks to you, I had a good rest.”
“You seem a little hungry. Should I make you something light to eat? How about Hajun? Aren’t you hungry?”
He suggested that we go inside quietly.
In fact, when the garden was permeated with aura and changed, I forgot that they were there because I was so focused on it.
And when I realized it too late, I felt a little scared.
It doesn’t cause any noticeable changes like a squirrel, but if you look closely, it’s different.
Fortunately, the couple didn’t see each other because they were busy looking at Hajun, and Hajun didn’t see each other because he was busy looking at the couple.
Thanks to Langi, I was able to naturally bring three families in.
Now, it was okay because Hajun’s attention was now completely focused on Rangi.
“Meow… … meow.”
I could not help but laugh at the sight of Hajun following Rangi around and trying to pet her.
Unlike Baekgu, he tended to do as he pleased, so Hajun couldn’t easily touch him.
But, he is basically a cat and dog… … .
Go-rong~ Go-rong~
Soon, he reached the place he wanted and allowed Hajun to touch him.
He’s definitely a spectator.
“The cat is very gentle.”
“That’s right. It’s my first time seeing a cat like that.”
The couple was also impressed by Rangi’s personality.
Thanks to that, Rangi was able to sit on Hajun’s lap.
The grumbling sound is service.
“Heh… … .”
Hajun carefully touched the snail like that.
And then he fell asleep.
“Oh no. I wanted to give you something to eat, but I can’t because I’m afraid Hajun will wake up.”
“That’s right. I can’t help it. I’ll come back to eat next time. The drink was really delicious. When I was dating, I used to go to cafes all the time… … I liked the feeling back then.”
As I spoke in a whisper, Oh Hye-ryeong also whispered back.
So that Hajun doesn’t wake up.
This time, I’ll be satisfied with this much.
Of course, as I said, they gave me one drink for free.
Song Jun-hyeok and Oh Hye-ryeong were satisfied with that and spent some more time alone resting.
“It feels like you’re really resting well.”
“Right? Let’s come here often. I’ve gotten used to working here a little bit now. Why are you having a hard time following me and coming to the countryside with Hajun?”
“What’s the point of suffering? We’re doing it together.”
“While other doctors live in the city and make a living, I came all the way to the countryside to work at a public health center, so it’s true that I have a hard time. I’m always grateful to you.”
It seemed like the emotions that had built up over time were being released. Of course, very quietly so as not to wake Hajun.
And when Hajun woke up, the two happily went back to the world of parenting.
That is, to become comrades who rely on each other.
Still, I’m glad I left with a brighter face than when I came.
‘It was a family just like squirrels. They were so noisy.’
Maybe it’s because the couple resembles Hajun’s chubby cheeks and has a harmless feel to them.
Swish!
After Hajun’s family left, the aura that was wandering around the cafe seeped into me.
>Song Ha-jun’s family sacrifice
I’ve acquired another talent.
But this time, it seemed like a very special talent.
Is this your first time seeing a family unit talent?
* * *
May is just around the corner.
These days, Su-ah hasn’t shown her nose because she’s busy preparing for events or something. What a cruel guy.
Of course, I didn’t have enough free time to hang out with the guy.
The crops in the garden that Hajun and I planted together seemed to be growing without any major problems.
Among them, the one that stands out is the Shine Muscat ‘Kuku’. It was originally a dry sapling, but now the stem has grown.
But then I suddenly wondered how I should raise them well. Should I just leave them as they are?
Whether it’s raising children or farming.
Watching Oh Hye-ryeong and Song Jun-hyeok raising Ha-jun, I felt that it would be wrong for parents to just neglect their children.
Just as they need proper discipline, don’t they also need a little bit of professional management?
Then maybe it could bear better fruit and grow better?
‘They say that it usually takes three to four years for a seedling to bear fruit.’
If it’s a tiger shelter’s garden, the situation is different, but three or four years is a long time.
So… …I sought out an expert.
“I said it was okay, so what are you going to do to help me? Tsk.”
“I want to help and learn at the same time. I’m also growing a vegetable garden these days, but growing it isn’t easy.”
“It’s not easy. It’s harder to go to the city and work. It’s hard to find a job or something these days. Compared to that, farming is hard to learn.”
“That’s right. It’s hard to find a job these days… … But farming isn’t easy. Especially for me, it’s hard even with a small garden, but the village chief has to manage such a large field.”
In order to properly manage the garden, I came to learn how to manage the field from the village chief.
Although the garden at the Tiger Shelter was different from other gardens, I thought it would be good to learn the basics.
And I’m also paying for the peaches I received before.
You said it was a reward for taking care of the swan, but you gave me too much. So I wanted to help you in this way.
Mr. Lee, although much of the field is mechanized, human hands are still needed.
So I was following along, learning, and helping out.
Well, actually, in terms of helping, it was almost like we were just talking to each other.
“The peaches you gave me were really delicious. They were even more delicious than the ones I had at the department store. The fragrance was especially great.”
“Of course! It’s best to eat it right away. The sweetness increases as it ages, but the flavor doesn’t.”
Although I said it was nothing special, he seemed to be secretly pleased with the compliment and spoke proudly about the peaches. He said that the scent of peaches can be smelled from a thousand miles away.
Even though it’s annoying to have someone to talk to, it seems like he’s having fun.
“Oh, right. I planted a Shine Muscat in my garden. How should I care for it?”
“Huh? Shine Muscat? How much has it grown?”
“Um, this much? It seems like it’s grown a lot?”
“The flowers haven’t bloomed yet?”
“Yes. The flowers are not there yet.”
“Then there’s still a long way to go. Once the flowers bloom, we’ll cut them all off before they bear fruit and let the stems grow longer.”
“Cut it off?”
A healthy flower?
“If you try to bear fruit now, it won’t bear fruit properly and will die instead. All the nutrients will go there.”
“aha.”
I couldn’t even imagine.
As expected, experts are different. It was good that I came.
“Then what if the stem has grown well?”
“Then it doesn’t matter, but once the flowers bloom and the fruit is formed, it would be better to reduce the number of pods. If it’s too tight, it won’t taste good.”
I took good note of it.
I don’t know if this will apply to our garden, but it can’t hurt to know.
“Oh, right. Did you get your health checkup? You went so quickly that I didn’t even get to ask you.”
“Huh? Well, it was okay. The results aren’t out yet though.”
“aha.”
“You should get regular checkups too. You should take care of your health from a young age. Instead of just sitting here, how about working out with me in the morning?”
“Haha… … That’s a bit.”
I didn’t really like working out with weights. Anyway, I’m glad you’re healthy.
Actually, I was a little worried because his expression didn’t seem very good at that time.
There was a reason why I came out to help out and learn.
But come to think of it, the test results don’t come out right away, so maybe I didn’t need to worry?
“Instead, I will often take Baekgu for walks.”
“You’re so good at running around by yourself, what’s the use of taking a walk?”
That’s true.
Baekgu’s territory has now expanded to include the cafe, so he’s been coming and going on his own quite often.
He was a very happy dog because he was a country dog.
If it were a city, a report would have been filed the moment you were wandering around alone like that.
Of course, after that day, I also gave the swan a dog tag.
Since he was such a red-faced guy, the village chief said he thought it would be necessary and did it right away.
“It’s enough here, so you should go and do your work quickly.”
“Hey. I’ll help you with this too. I wrote down in advance that I’ll be resting in the morning.”
As we chatted about this and that, before we knew it, the box we had brought was full of freshly picked peaches.
I just transported the freshly picked peaches to the truck with the village chief.
“You have better stamina than I thought.”
“I feel a lot better since I came here. Is it because the air is good?”
“Haha! How can you get better stamina just by breathing fresh air? It must have grown naturally because you move around a lot.”
“I guess so? Well, I guess I do move around a lot when I come here.”
As we chatted and moved around, we quickly moved the amount we had to move in the morning. Since the sorting would be done by machines, there was nothing left to do.
“Chief, would you like to go to a cafe with me to take a break? You always give me something.”
“Haha! There’s still a bit left. I’ll go later. You go first.”
I was thinking of going to work at a cafe soon, so I suggested it to the village chief, but he said he still had work to do.
As expected, there is no end to farming.
“Then come by later when you have time. I’ll treat you to a refreshing drink.”
“Okay. Oh! You said you were growing Shine Muscats, right? Take this.”
“What is this?”
“It’s a support. It would be good to support it with this until the stem becomes thick and strong.”
“iced coffee.”
Now, I was about to really leave when the village chief came out holding something like a metal bar. He said that I could use it to support the Shine Muscat.
I felt like I came here to help but ended up taking something back.
‘If you need help next time, I’ll help you.’
I decided not to think too hard about it.
* * *
I went to work at the cafe with the pole the village chief had given me and came straight to the backyard.
“You said it should be done like this?”
I connected the Shine Muscat ‘Kuku’ to the support because I had this.
Now that I’ve done this, it looks pretty good, right?
It really feels like a field. Oh, it really is a field.
It’s still a bit awkward though.
“I make drinks and also work in the fields.”
I was doing things that I would have never imagined doing before.
Of course, the most special thing among them was providing healing to guests.
Kuru~
“huh?”
Just then, the Auras who were playing between the vacant lot and the cafe flew in.
Among them, Brownie expressed his opinion actively.
It was a signal that someone had arrived.
I thought he was a guest, so I quickly went inside and looked out the window at the empty space… … and I saw the village chief.
‘But why the aura?’
