“I can do it on my own.”

That’s the way he said it, but it’s a face he doesn’t hate.

At the same time, the fermented broth was applied to the persimmons that were laid out in the deokjang.

While at work, Hyunsik Bang’s mother visited a plastic house.

He brought food with his uncomfortable legs.

Hyunsik Bang ran and received the basket.

“I was going to bring it.”

“This is no problem. It’s hard, but go ahead and eat.”

Hye-sook Kim took the food out of the basket.

“Brother, I’m eating.”

A table full of sincerity appeared. The barley rice was served with vegetables and soybean paste stew.

Kim Hye-sook prepared the food and got up from her seat.

“Eat together, Mom.”

“I have something to do. you eat.”

“Stop working.”

Kim Hye-sook smiled but did not respond.

“eat a lot.”

“yes.”

She left those words and went home.

Hyunsik Bang handed the chopsticks. The herbs drenched in perilla oil made the taste even better.

While eating, he looked at Hyunsik Bang carefully. Special attention was paid to the left eye.

I remembered that I lost my sight while boxing. After hearing him, I never asked him.

Hyunsik Bang also seems to be conscious of my gaze.

“Did you even put rice grass on my face?”

he asked with a smile.

“Isn’t it hard because of your eyes?”

“It was floating from the beginning.”

“When floating?”

“It’s a case of a big difference in vision between the two eyes. In my case, my left eye was extremely bad.”

“I see.”

I was going to finish talking there. It seemed like it would hurt if I said more.

“I’m only talking about this to my brother.”

Bang Hyunsik looked around and said cautiously.

“When I was boxing, I hid the fact that I was single.”

“Why did you hide it?”

“If you find out that your eyes are bad, you can’t do more exercise.”

“Why did you do boxing like that?”

“Because it was the best thing I could do.”

Hyunsik Bang went through a difficult time after his father passed away.

He said that he wanted to show a good side for his mother who suffered only.

“Even though boxing didn’t go as I expected, I want to be successful as a farmer. It’s also a promise I made with my mother.”

After the meal, all the dried persimmons left over were processed. The fermentation broth tank was also emptied cleanly.

We packed all our gear and prepared to go back.

“Brother, you can come now.”

Bang Hyun-sik said as he put the fermented liquid barrel.

“Yeah, it’s enough for me to do it on my own now. But what were you doing here?”

I saw a plastic greenhouse used for dried persimmons and asked.

“It used to be my father’s herbal store.”

“Herb storehouse?”

“In winter, he went to gather herbs. It used to be a place where medicinal herbs were stored, but now I am using it as a dried persimmon deokjang.”

“Did you keep a lot of herbs?”

“I built two more buildings because of the dried persimmons.”

“Did you build this yourself?”

“It’s not easy on my own… I got some help from someone I know.”

Bang Hyun-sik said with a shy expression.

It was a vinyl house built by excavating a mountain slope.

It felt a bit clumsy, but it looked okay enough to use as dried persimmon deokjang.

“It’s a mountain slope… If it rains, you have to be careful.”

“I’m always on the lookout.”

It was seen that they had set up a sloppy net. Light rain didn’t seem to be a problem. However, it can be difficult to cope with the fickle weather.

“Let’s make repairs together with my older brother later.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Bang Hyun-sik refused to help, saying that he could do it alone.

Last year, due to the unusually high temperature and rain, the damage to the dried persimmon farms was inconceivable. Just because it was this year, there was no law that the weather wasn’t capricious.

Regardless of his will, he was going to fix it sooner or later.

While I was farming dried persimmons, I reorganized the organization. Han Gi-tak was in charge of creating the restructuring plan.

Office personnel were organized into management support and shopping mall teams, so it was not a problem.

The research institute where Seo Woo-young and Lee Young-ho were located was also running smoothly.

The place in need of organizational reorganization was the ranch. From managing the cows to producing the dairy products, it was necessary to appoint a responsible person.

I came up with a plan to run the ranch more efficiently.

It was a reorganization plan with Seol Kang-in as the team leader. Until now, the breeding and management of cows has been centered on Seolgangin. However, the scope of positions and responsibilities has not been determined.

The part was clearly divided.

Team leader Seol Kang-in raised dairy cows, and Joo Myeong-hee and Seol Min-ju were in charge of dairy products.

work is clearly divided.

Seol Min-joo only had to take charge of the various pearls and yogurt that go into bubble tea.

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

Makgeolli yogurt and other dairy products were handled by Joo Myung-hee.

Kim Sang-cheol was responsible for the experience farm.

We corrected the irregularities in events and events.

Green tea farmers jointly managed goats after forming a cooperative. That part was neatly knotted.

While farming dried persimmons, he delivered information about the organizational restructuring.

After the reorganization, the atmosphere of the ranch changed. Moving as a team caught my eye.

A team that raises and manages cows and a team that makes dairy products were distinguished at a glance.

Seol Min-ju, who had been doing the same for two days before, was also concentrating on the task given to him.

I met Seol Kang-in after a long time.

“I heard you are farming dried persimmons.”

“Yes, we have educated other farmers, and we have finished our dried persimmons.”

“I heard that you started as a dried persimmon farm. You’ve grown like this since then, you’re such a great farmer.”

“It’s all thanks to the good people I’ve been in contact with.”

That was then.

The cows that were grazing in the pasture were entering the barn.

“The cows go into the barn on their own.”

“It looks like it will rain.”

Seol Kang-in looked up at the sky and said.

It was a cloudless sky.

“Is the weather this nice?”

“Animals are more sensitive than humans.”

It rained heavily that evening.

It was noisy in winter. There was even thunder and lightning.

I couldn’t sleep well. It looked like he had barely fallen asleep.

I even dreamed It was a dream that a huge pile of dirt hit me. He was buried in a pile of dirt and couldn’t breathe.

I fell asleep and woke up.

It was still raining.

Hyunsik Bang’s vinyl house was a concern.

* * *

As soon as I woke up the next day, I called Hyunsik Bang.

He didn’t answer the phone. It was still early, but I had a bad feeling.

I didn’t even wash and put on my clothes first.

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

My parents were out in the yard.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to look for dried persimmons. It rained a lot last night.”

the father said

“Are you going to see dried persimmons too?”

“No, I have a place to go.”

“Where are you going this morning?”

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

Mother asked.

“I want to go to the farm where we worked with dried persimmons.”

“Let’s go eat.”

“I will go and eat.”

“Go and be careful!”

I called several times on the way to his house. still haven’t received

On the radio, news was coming out that one after another, several farmhouses had been damaged by the heavy rain that fell last night.

It was still raining.

I saw a pile of dirt swept down from the mountain.

I parked the car near his house.

The road was blocked by the soil.

We passed through the persimmon orchard and arrived in front of the plastic house.

‘Unbelievable!’

The greenhouse was half laid on a pile of dirt. There were also places that had been torn by blown branches or stones.

Rain was pouring into the greenhouse.

Bang Hyunsik was desperately padding the torn vinyl. Climbing the ladder looked dangerous.

I grabbed the ladder and cried.

“Hyunsik, be careful.”

“I only do this, and if the dried persimmons get hit by the rain, they will all be useless.”

As he said, the dried persimmons hit by the rain have no choice but to be discarded.

I helped him repair the greenhouse.

One greenhouse was not the only problem.

All three buildings were injured by the soil.

Although the repairs were barely completed, it seemed that it would be difficult to save the dried persimmons.

“What about our dried persimmons?”

Bang Hyunsik said with tears in his eyes.

In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references

No words came out. He just patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

* * *

The problem wasn’t just the greenhouses.

The area around his house was also in a situation in need of restoration.

We waited for the flood recovery team.

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

Many farms were affected. I was told it would take a while for the recovery team to get here.

There was no time to wait.

I mobilized all the manpower I could find. Jirisan farmers and green tea farmers gathered at Bang Hyun-sik’s house to help.

Together with them, the area around the house was restored.

He also cleaned up the dirt that had been swept down in front of his house.

There was no more rain.

Thanks to the large number of people moving together, the cleanup was completed in two days.

It was time for the colleagues to return.

Han Ki-tak called me quietly.

“This is the money the team raised.”

Han Gi-tak handed the envelope.

“thanks.”

“Thank you. That friend was also on the same boat with us. By the way, what do you do by ruining the dried persimmon farming… You comfort me well. We will return.”

Han Ki-tak and his colleagues left, and only me and Bang Hyun-sik were left.

Unfortunately, the dried persimmons could not be saved.

Bang Hyun-sik looked at the discarded dried persimmons with dismayed eyes.

“I should have listened to you back then.”

His complexion looked pale. It was still unbelievable.

I didn’t know how to comfort him, so all I could say was to take some time and think about it slowly. Then, the idea of working with the farmers in Jirisan came out of nowhere.

“Thank you, but I will decline. I also made a promise to my mother.”

He promised never to leave his mother.

It was an oath I made to quit boxing.

Upon learning that he had gone blind, his mother said that he had not eaten for a while.

Hyunsik Bang headed home as soon as the training was over.

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

My mother said she was waiting to have dinner together.

It was also the reason he started farming dried persimmons.

It was to keep the promise I made with my mother.

“Do not worry. You can start all over again. You are still young.”

“Yeah, we can start over. Let’s cheer up!”

I said so, but my heart was heavy.

“I will find a way to get back up on my own.”

Bang Hyun-sik said with a brave face. It was a hard-working expression.

I handed him the envelope.

“This is what my brother and colleagues collected. Take it.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Bang Hyun-sik abruptly refused.

“I get angry if I don’t.”

Then I received the envelope.

“I taught you the art of dried persimmons, and that’s how the dried persimmon farming turned out, so I have a responsibility too.”

“What do you mean? I am not responsible.”

“Hyunsik, it’s just that hyung’s heart is like that.”

Bang Hyunsik quietly nodded his head.

“I’ll find a way, too.”

I held Bang Hyunsik’s hand tightly.

“Let’s find a way together. It won’t be easy, but new opportunities may arise, so let’s work together.”

“Thank you so much for the words, bro.”

“okay.”

“Now, if I am going to do something new, I have to do something that I can do with my mother. I was trying to solve everything on my own, but I think I got to a point where I couldn’t even use my hands or feet.”

Bang Hyunsik said with a face that looked like he was about to cry.

“Okay, let’s find something we can do with our mother. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

Bang Hyun-sik showed a smile on his face.

It was not a smile that was trying hard, but a will to get up and brush it off.

It was the face of the courageous Bang Hyun-sik I knew.
