Chapter Seventy-Three: A Trip to Gwangju (1)

We must feel more deeply about the backfire than we do when we get what we want.

=============================

Gwangju, the fifth largest city in Korea and the capital of the post-Baekje period, had a relationship with Jeonju in that era as the relationship between Beijing and Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of Korea, it was once the capital of Jeollanam-do, but on November 1, 1986, it was promoted to Gwangju Municipality, and after the implementation of local autonomy in 1991, it was changed to Gwangju Metropolitan City in 1995.

Kang Jae-hee was sitting on the car to the city with a sad face, and Kim Tae-yeon, who had been looking curiously out of the car window, was sitting next to him.

Completely stress-free and task-free rest, and rest during work, those are completely two different feelings. Kang Jae-hee planned to enjoy the holiday, but the next day his uncle Kang Ji-kin came to Jeonju and said that he would take him back to Gwangju and that his grandfather wanted to see him.

To put it bluntly, his original plan was to wait for his parents to come back and then go to see this unmasked relative. So on this holiday, Kang Jae-hee didn't want to go to Gwangju to meet his grandfather. But before he could find a reason to refuse, Kang Zhijian turned his head and asked if Kim Taeyeon wanted to go to Gwangju to have fun.

Kim Tae-yeon, who is not yet young, has only been to Seoul so far except Jeonju, oh yes, and to Beijing...... But in any case, for a young girl who is in the age of great curiosity, it must be quite a pleasant thing to be able to visit other cities. What's more, it's still with Kang Jae-hee......

Before he could say the reason for refusal, he was stillborn......

It is undeniable that Jiang Jae-hee still has a certain curiosity about his grandfather and other family members who he has never met, and he also wants to know what special abilities other relatives have. It's hard to feel like you have a secret in your heart and can't tell anyone else, and if you don't want to be a weirdo, you can only hide it all the time.

Jeonju is very close to Gwangju, less than 1 hour by car.

Unlike Jeonju, which has a strong traditional Korean style, Gwangju is also a tourist city, but it is more modern than Jeonju.

It's not like Kim Tae-yeon's mood of leisurely looking at the scenery outside the car window. Jiang Jae-hee is not calm in his heart, not the kind of nervousness and seriousness when facing things, but a kind of dazed.

He didn't know what attitude to take to face his direct blood relatives in this life. Even his parents and uncles have been getting along for a long time before they slowly became familiar with the current closeness. To put it bluntly, it's the same as getting along with friends, it's time that changes the relationship between each other. Of course, the so-called blood relationship made Kang Jae-hee's parents and uncle very good to him, and he passively accepted care in this way, which slowly allowed Kang Jae-hee to integrate into the family. In a way, the natural closeness in the blood also makes sense.

As if sensing Kang Jae-hee's strange appearance, Kim Tae-yeon withdrew her gaze that had been looking out the window and looked to her side.

There is no need for Kim Tae-yeon to ask, Kang Jae-hee knows the meaning of Kim Tae-yeon's gaze. On the one hand, it is because the two get along very tacitly, and on the other hand, it is also because Kim Taeyeon's expression is very rich, which can make it easy for people to understand what she wants to express.

"I haven't seen my relatives in Gwangju since I can remember, so I don't know how to deal with them." Kang Jae-hee doesn't have the impression of Gwangju in his memory, and he only came after he arrived in Jeonju from his parents......

"No matter how you say it, it's your family." Kim Taeyeon is not very comforting, not to mention that she is often comforted by him when she is with Kang Jae-hee. This sudden role reversal made Kim Taeyeon feel weird.

Kang Jae-hee also felt a little strange, although he had always treated Kim Taeyeon on an equal footing with him instead of getting along like a little sister, but for so many years, most of the time, Kang Jae-hee has fulfilled Kim Ji-yong's obligations...... "Well, the main thing is that he is older, not as heartless as he was when he was a child." ”

After saying that, he started chatting with Kim Taeyeon and stopped discussing the topic.

At the foot of Mt. Mudeungsan, one of Gwangju's most famous eight scenic spots, there is a small village on the side of the non-tourist route. Most Koreans know that the Folk Village of Lean-eup in Gwangju has an old house from the Joseon Dynasty, but they don't know that the houses in this small village were built in the post-Three Kingdoms period even older than the Joseon Dynasty.

Although the house is old, the interior is very modern, but some things from ancient times have been preserved, such as wells and stone mills. An old man with gray hair but good spirit was sitting majestically in the lobby, watching ...... "X-man".

I laughed while watching. "Hahaha, this group of people is so interesting."

At this time, Jiang Zhidong, who had been with Kang Jae-hee for a few days, walked in, and he didn't feel experienced with such a performance of his majestic uncle, and he was obviously used to it. walked to the old man's side, and waited for the funniest episode to pass before saying, "Uncle, Zhijian, they're almost there." ”

The old man, who was watching the show intently, immediately turned his head. "Where are they?"

"I just called and said that I have entered the border of Gwangju."

"Well, go to the kitchen and talk to your daughter-in-law, it's ready."

In Korea, generally speaking, only the daughter-in-law of the clan is qualified to cook, and the other daughters-in-law only have a hand-holding. But Jiang Jae-hee's parents eloped, and Jiang Zhijian was not married, so the kitchen here has always been in charge of Jiang Zhidong's daughter-in-law.

An hour actually passed quickly, taking a nap, staring out the window in a daze, chatting casually, and playing with the mobile phone.

Seeing this ancient village, Kim Taeyeon suddenly became excited. Every girl has a dream, and Kim Tae-yeon is no exception, her family is simple, and by the time of her parents' generation it was already a standard Korean modern family. But there are some TV dramas between ancient families and modern society. Especially the "Bride 18 Years Old" at the beginning of 04, the kind of conflict between modernity and tradition, but the plot of a very relaxed fusion, also made Kim Tae-yeon, who was obsessed with this TV series at the time, fantasized.

Although there are also hanok villages in Jeonju, visiting and living are two completely different moods. And I heard Kang Jae-hee's uncle say that this is his grandfather who came back to visit him. Kim Tae-yeon's mind conjured up the image of Kang Jae-hee shouting grandpa to Lee Soon-jae in Hanbok......

But Kim Taeyeon is a very well-behaved child after all, unlike those crazy girls in Seoul.................. "Ahh

followed Jiang Jae-hee very well-behaved, and waited for Jiang Zhijian to walk in, and then walked in with Jiang Jae-hee.

======================

It's not TJ, it's not that I don't want to be more. It's really hard to pick it up again after putting it down for a while......
