Chapter Seventy-Four: Grandpa, Your Grandson Has Come to See You!
Man is a complex and inscrutable species, but at some point, it is simpler than others.
==================
January is winter in the northern hemisphere, but Gwangju is warmer than in Seoul. Nestled in a village at the foot of the mountain, there is no shortage of plants. A little bit of green is tenaciously mixed with snow white, gray and yellow. Even the oldest villages are inseparable from modernity, but they do not have the hustle and bustle of the city. Birds reluctant to migrate south rest on telephone poles and then park on cars below, leaving their own unique traces.
Walking in such a quiet village, Kang Jae-hee did not have a calm mood that matched it......
"The house here is older than that hanok village in Jeonju?" When I heard Kang Ji-kin talking about the house here on the morning road, Kim Tae-yeon didn't notice any difference from Jeonju after seeing it with her own eyes. But that's not to say she doesn't believe it, she just asks subconsciously.
"Yes, I heard from my uncle that the house here is a house from the Baekje Silla period, and the one in Jeonju is from the post-Baekje to Joseon period. There is a difference of nearly 400 years. It's not that Kang Jae-hee is really interested in the history of South Korea, in fact, except for the history of the Joseon period, which cannot be tampered with, the previous move to the Three Kingdoms, and the previous regime, have been greatly exaggerated. It's just that history is a compulsory subject, and in desperation, Kang Jae-hee can only listen to it.
"Why are the houses here so well preserved?"
"In ancient times, people used wood to build houses, and there are several kinds of wood that can last for thousands of years without rotting. I guess that's where one of them comes in. ”
"With such an old house, hasn't the state protected it as a cultural relic site?"
"It's a private property, and the hanok village in Jeonju was originally designated as a scenic spot because the state gave enough compensation to the residents. The scale here is not enough, and it is estimated that the compensation given by the state is not much. ”
"Is Grandpa good-tempered?"
"This ......"
"Why haven't you seen him all this time?"
“……”
"Do you plan to stay here in the future?"
“……”
Kang Jae-hee didn't think about how a little girl, who used to be quite normal, suddenly became strange. The first few questions are normal, but for the next few questions, Kang Jae-hee wants to say 'you ask me, who do I ask...... but he is used to facing Kim Taeyeon with a gentle attitude, so he naturally can't say it.
Kim Taeyeon is not suddenly strange today, it is entirely because of the concept that the recent TV series has brought to her, allowing her to see such an ancient village and the clan that can only be seen on TV. All of this made her feel very new and excited. It's not that she doesn't know that Jiang Jae-hee can't answer the next few questions, but the way she gets along all the time makes her always not hide her questions when she and Kang Jae-hee are together. It's very different from usual, just because there are not many questions in ordinary times, but there are a lot of questions today.
"Kim Taeyeon, what's wrong with you today? I haven't seen him, so how can I know his temper or something. "I can't bear it, naturally I can't bear it anymore, Kang Jae-hee plans to correct Kim Taeyeon from the root.
"Uncle Jiang didn't tell you before? Didn't your uncle tell you that either? ”
Uncle Kang naturally refers to Kang Jae-hee's father, but that's not the point. It is clear that Kim Taeyeon has no intention of giving up......
Kang Jae-hee took a deep breath and barely pulled out a smile. "No, they didn't even tell me."
"That's right......" Kim Taeyeon, who didn't get an answer, was a little disappointed. Compared with the grandfather who cares about Kang Jae-hee, it is better to say that she is worried that the grandfather and grandson, who have not seen each other for so many years, will make the atmosphere awkward because of some things. Just as Kang Jae-hee knows her, Kim Tae-yeon also knows Kang Jae-hee's character. The superficial mildness is only to cover up the insistence that is more stubborn than ordinary people. Of course, worry is worry, and there should be no less excitement and curiosity......
"My guardian is not his ......" seemed to see Kim Tae-yeon's concern, and Kang Jae-hee comforted him in turn. He knew very well that the girl was the most uncomfortable with the awkward and oppressive atmosphere, and she was not very curious about unexpected events when she walked on the road. It's not that she's cold, it's that she can't see the emotional impact of those things.
"Yun'a, look! A group of people are gathered over there, I don't know what is going on, let's go over and take a look! Cui Xiuying, who is tall and long, took advantage of the altitude and saw things in the distance first.
"Really! Hurry up, hurry up, go away! Lin Yun'er heard that there was a bustle to see, and immediately rushed over......
"Yikes! You wait for me. Not to be outdone, Kim Hyo-yeon also followed.
"Shouldn't we go back to the office and get back to training and then get back to training?" Xu Zhuxian asked with some trepidation. At this time, she is not the goddess who is very indifferent to everything in later generations, and now she is just a little girl who has just joined the company for more than a year and is less than 14 years old.
"When they come back, they'll tell us what's going on." Jung so-yeon also wanted to go over, but after looking at the distance, she decided to stay where she was and drink her drink and wait for them to come back, and at the same time pulled Kwon Yoo-ri, who also wanted to go over......
Some people like to be quiet, so naturally some people like to be lively. Kang Jae-hee, who was far away in Gwangju, didn't know that the girls in Seoul were watching the excitement with great interest. The village is not big, and it didn't take long to talk before we came to the largest house in the village.
Kang Jae-hee didn't see the old man at the first time. Jiang Zhidong stood at the door and waited for them, looking like he had been waiting for a while. After saying hello to this uncle of his. Jiang Jae-hee tidied himself up, followed behind Jiang Zhijian, and walked in.
Although the village is not big, it only means that there are few houses after all, but in fact, the area occupied by each house is quite large. And the place where Jiang Jae-hee and the others are now, just the courtyard, is already much bigger than the house in Seoul.
For some reason, Kang Jae-hee suddenly became a little nervous. It took him many years to adjust to life here and to come to terms with his parents and uncle. All of a sudden, I had to meet a relative of my direct blood relative, especially an elder who was a generation higher than my parents. This made him not know what kind of sobriety to face the old man. Although his parents don't blame the old man, Jiang Jae-hee knows very well that the two young people came out like this, and the sudden disappearance has a lot to do with this old man. It was precisely because his uncle couldn't stand the atmosphere at home that he ran away after his father settled down. Maybe there's no such rule here as in other families that running away means defecting. But from Jiang Zhijian's occasional chatter, it can be heard that even now, his uncle has always been in awe of the old man who is sitting in the room and has not yet appeared.
The nervousness and crankiness didn't last long, and he saw the old man who should be called Grandpa. The moment he saw the old man, Kang Jae-hee smiled. He took the initiative to greet the old man.
"Grandpa, your grandson has come to see you!"
