“What are you doing?”

Noh Hae-mi asked deliberately bluntly.

It was the first call since coming here.

“I called because I was worried about how my daughter is doing.”

Noh Kyung-sik said in a deliberately exaggerated voice. It was a call that I had endured dozens of times.

Today, my daughter’s birthday, I had to listen to her voice.

“I am doing fine. Is Daddy eating well?”

“It’s been a while since I called and nagging.”

“If I don’t nag, who will?”

“But it is.”

It was nice to hear my daughter’s voice after a long time.

“Did you eat seaweed soup?”

“No, I don’t have a father either.”

On his daughter’s birthday, he always made seaweed soup.

“Should I boil it now?”

There was seaweed soup cooked in the morning in the kitchen.

“Okay, don’t do it, come and play on my day off.”

“Is that so?”

Noh Kyung-sik answered with a bright voice.

“Are the goats okay?”

“It’s fine. We also brought in chicken and duck.”

“Why did you do that? difficult.”

“It’s because I don’t have a daughter, so it’s because I have enemies.”

A long chatter between the women followed. Noh Hae-mi talked about what she had been through so far.

Noh Kyung-sik was so heartbroken when his daughter said she wanted to become a farmer and did an internship at a rural company. I wanted to go out into the city and succeed. But listening to her daughter’s story, she changed her mind.

Because my daughter felt happy.

After No Hae-mi’s birthday party, she returned home.

It was a touching birthday party. If I forgot, I could have missed it.

It occurred to me that the farmers of Jirisan were united as one.

As Noh Hae-mi said, I was also grateful to everyone.

I gave No Hae-mi a teapot as a gift.

It was a small gift, but I hoped it would be comforting.

The biggest gift would be to persuade Im Si-baek.

The face of the immortal white popped up in my mind.

An image that looks hard like a tree with beaky eyes.

I had to convince him. But no idea came to mind.

throat burned It was time to drink a glass of water.

I saw a car sitting on the desk.

It was a gift from Hwa-soo Im, a grape farmer.

The packaging was somehow familiar.

At the time, it was something I hadn’t even thought of looking at in detail.

I was surprised to see the name on the paper bag.

[Hadong Green Garden]

The tea Lim Hwa-soo gave me was from Hadong Green Garden.

I remembered the face of Im Hwa-soo.

It somehow felt like a temporary bag.

was like a saint.

confirmation was needed.

I immediately called Im Hwa-soo.

homework to be solved

The prediction was correct. Im Hwa-soo and Im Si-baek were brothers.

The next day he visited our ranch.

“How are you?”

“Thank you, I am doing very well.”

Unlike usual, I took a closer look at Im Hwa-soo’s face. When I first saw the temporary bag, it felt familiar.

I think it was because of the experience I had face-to-face with Im Hwa-soo.

The siblings were similar in appearance.

In the currency, only the source of the tea given as a gift was asked. He said that it is green tea grown by his brother.

They had agreed to meet and talk about the details.

“By the way, what is something to discuss with my brother?”

He asked with big eyes. It was a look I had been curious about since last night.

The beaky eyes also resemble a temporary bag.

“I’m trying to learn cars from Im Si-baek.”

“Would you like tea to my brother?”

Hwasoo Lim thought for a moment and then opened the door.

“Hadong Green Garden is a family business that has been passed down from generation to generation. Now, my eldest grandson has inherited it and is running it.”

“I know. The fact that the Hadong Green Garden is the fourth generation of the family.”

“As I said, it has been passed down to the fourth generation. He is a man of high affection and pride for the family business.”

“I also saw the teacher once. I felt proud of the family business.”

“I must have been rejected.”

Lim Hwa-soo asked carefully.

“Yes, you refused.”

“It would have stayed. My brother thinks Dawon is a family job. I also plan to leave my one and only son in the family business.”

“Mr. Lim’s son is learning tea.”

“That’s a bit of a problem.”

Lim Hwa-soo frowned.

“Is it a problem?”

“My nephew is not interested in the family business. That caused a rift between the rich and the poor. Of course, he hasn’t given up on his greed yet.”

“okay.”

“So maybe I hated it more. He must have been upset that an outsider who had no interest in the family business would come and learn the family business.”

Lim Hwa-soo was an honest person. Even when I asked for grapes, he said everything he had in mind.

I still haven’t been hiding my heart.

It is best to be honest with an honest person.

“May I ask you a favor?”

“I have been thinking about it since I brought it up. There might be no way to help.”

Lim Hwa-soo said with twinkling eyes.

“Then why do you want to learn cars? I heard that the ranch is running well.”

“I want to make products using green tea and dairy products.”

There was no need to tell him why. Still, it had to be at a level that he could understand with common sense.

“It is for that reason. Of course, I thought there was a big picture. The reason I had to ask is because it is difficult for everyone who grows green tea these days. It makes me cry more than I do as a vineyard farmer.”

“You’re talking about the pesticide wave.”

“Yeah, you knew.”

It was a fact that we learned together while looking for information about temporary bags.

Along with the well-being craze that has recently begun to blow, tea is also attracting people’s attention.

Farmers also made products riding the well-being craze. There was an incident that the green tea, which had been working well, suddenly crashed.

It is the green tea pesticide wave.

The beginning is a scene from a television report program. A scene of spraying pesticides on tea fields was aired. After that, the drug controversy arose.

Raw leaves, which cost 3,000 won per kg, dropped to 800 won.

The farmhouse was in a situation where labor costs could not be saved.

“Since my brother also suffered damage, the other farmhouses will probably not be able to speak.”

Hadong Green Garden has also received eco-friendly certification. Even green tea farms that received eco-friendly certification could not avoid consumer distrust.

The impact of the pesticide crisis on green tea farmers was enormous.

“I personally appreciate Kim Deok-myeong. regardless of age. I believe that there is hope for a young man like Kim Deok-myeong in rural areas.”

“It’s overrated.”

“I will do my best. It’s a feeling of repaying the favor.”

“thank you.”

* * *

Hwa-soo Lim went out and Hae-mi Noh came in.

“I’m here because I have something to tell you.”

she said with a bright expression.

“Have you not changed your desire to learn tea from Im Si-baek?”

“That’s right.”

She paused for a moment.

“It may not be possible.”

“It could be.”

“So that’s what I’m saying, can I check it out?”

“Can you tell me specifically what to look for?”

“I thought it would be good to have other information besides green tea technology. I also want to meet people and do research on my own.”

I remembered the scene that Haemi Noh announced during the presentation. It was a market research and related product investigation in various fields.

It was also something I wanted to say to her after finishing the conversation with Lim Hwa-soo.

I liked Noh Hae-mi’s active attitude.

“If that’s the case, it’s good to investigate. If there is anything necessary for the investigation, you can request it from the Management Support Team. I will tell you.”

“Then can I go out?”

Noh Haemi asked cautiously.

“Anyway. We will also support transportation expenses.”

“thank you.”

“By the way, where are you planning to go?”

I wondered where she was going.

“Seoul.”

* * *

Haemi Noh went to Seoul, and I headed to Sangju.

It was to meet Hwang Yu-shin, a master of dried persimmons.

I had to discuss dried persimmon farming with him this year.

It was in a state of notice to those who would learn dried persimmons from Hwang Yu-shin.

There was also a story that I wanted to ask him using dried persimmon farming as an excuse.

Sangju Hwang Yu-shin’s house gave me comfort as always.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Mrs. Hwang Jung-ah was warmly welcomed.

“Is the teacher inside?”

As soon as the words ran out, Hwang Yu-shin’s door suddenly opened.

“You didn’t come in right away, what are you doing?”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Ms. Hwang Jung-ah handed her a present from the ranch.

“Yeah, I’ll be right in.”

I talked with Hwang Yu-shin after a long time. He gave a comfortable feeling unlike other teachers.

After all, he was the only person who had a relationship in the past.

Hwang Yu-sin heard the story of running a ranch with interest.

His dictionary did not include the words ranch, meadow, cow, or yogurt.

When I talked about ideas from a recent Jirisan farmer’s presentation, I laughed out loud.

And he confessed that he was faced with an embarrassing situation.

“I decided on green tea as a new business. I asked for the cooperation of a fourth-generation car dealer in the Hadong area, but it was politely refused.”

“Tell me your name.”

Hwang Yu-shin raised his voice.

“It is called the temporary bag of Hadong Green Garden.”

“It’s Im Si-baek, a master of green tea.”

“Do you even know the teacher?”

“I’ve only heard the name.”

Yushin Hwang said with a smile.

Unknowingly, I burst into laughter. For a moment, I thought that Hwang Yu-shin might be someone he knew well. Expectations turned out to be unexpectedly wrong. It was fun nonetheless.

After talking for a long time, Yushin Hwang spoke out of nowhere.

“Do you know why I received you as a disciple?”

I remembered the time when I met Yushin Hwang here.

He was confident that he would become his disciple.

“It wasn’t because of the talk of attracting urban youth to the countryside.”

He had twinkling eyes.

“The real reason I received you as a disciple is different.”

“What is it?”

I wondered what words would come out of his mouth.

“I felt strength in you.”

“Strength?”

“The power that unites people, with that power, seemed to be able to overcome seemingly impossible tasks. As you are well aware, farming is not something that can be done with the power of only one outstanding person.”

“Are you overestimating me?”

He looked at me quietly and opened his mouth.

“At first, I was skeptical. But as time went on, I became more confident. You have that kind of power.”

A twinkle flashed in Hwang Yu-shin’s eyes.

“I think the things you are worried about will be fine.”

“It makes me feel good when the teacher says that. It’s reassuring.”

When I saw Yushin Hwang, I felt it again. It is true that young people should flow into the countryside, but we need a person with such long experience and dignity.

True power does not come from one person.

It is only when the experienced middle-aged people and the young people who are more ambitious are harmonized that they have strong power.

I wondered if that might be the power he was talking about to me.

* * *

A few days later, I got a call from Im Hwa-soo.

He said he would be contacted by the temporary bag soon.

He added that he did his best. The rest of the problem was my responsibility, and he blurted out the end of his speech.

Just as Im Hwa-soo said, Im Si-baek received a call.

He asked to meet first. This time, I found his house alone.

When I arrived at Hadong Green Garden, a familiar middle-aged woman greeted me.

It was Gu Young-hee, the wife of Im Si-baek.

Without a word, he led me to the room.

The temporary bag was drinking tea.

“I never thought I would see you again.”

He was a man who looked as hard as a tree.

When we first met and today, my impression is softer.

“I heard from my brother. They say it was a big help when they were struggling with the grape problem.”

I listened to him quietly.

“I looked into the branch manager, but it wasn’t a big deal.”

I had no idea what he had been told about me. There was nothing to say here.
