Living in a Garage With an Alien Car

“There’s a night in here.”

“and.”

“Because chestnuts are delicious, they protect themselves with thorns to protect themselves from insects and animals.”

“Wow, that’s amazing. I think I can. With your feet like this?”

“Yoo-geun, it’s hard to do it with just your feet. It is convenient to use a stick to open it like this.”

When he picked up a stick rolling around and showed it as a demonstration, Yu-geun showed off his amazing ability to learn.

“Wow, that’s fun.”

“I don’t have time. It’s a bet on who will pick up the most. Understand?

“huh.”

About 30-40 minutes like that.

Now the time has come to say goodbye to my nephew.

One of the chestnuts the two picked up also went over one with a net.

This should be enough for a family of three to take to Seoul and eat all winter.

“Yugeun-ah, let’s go now. Mom and Dad will be waiting for you. You have to hurry up to eat and go up.”

I can’t hear what you’re saying

It is admirable and admirable that he is distracted by bending his back and bouncing chestnut grains.

On the other hand, what if I yell at you for not going?

…. was an understatement.

“Samchun, I put in a lot.”

“Wow.. you did really well..”

First, I see Yoo-geun tidying up the place.

4th grade now.

At our time, I think we are in the senior year, but when we look at them, they look like infinitely young puppies.

When Yu-geun hugged Dol-dori, who was playing in the forest, they all flocked to Yu-geun’s side as if they had grown fond of him throughout the day.

“Yoo-geun-ah, it seems that the guys feel sorry for them too.”

“Guys, Heung, I’ll come again. You should be doing well. Don’t get sick… Uncle will take care of you. See you next time, okay? love you..”

“Kyung-Kyung!”

“Nyaaaong”

I really love Yoo-geun who says “I love you” habitually.

It’s something I can’t hate.

There’s a reason you can’t spit on a smiling face.

“Oh my, what is all this? Oh my, it’s very expensive these days to buy this..”

“Now is the season, so it would be nice to have it as a snack for breakfast, right?”

“of course.”

“This is all picked up by Yugeun. Yoo-geun was also filial.”

These days, these domestic fruits are really rare and expensive.

Chinese products are all the rage these days, but I gained a lot from an hour of exercise.

Breakfast is simple brown rice scorched rice.

Haesik’s sister-in-law prepared it by hand.

My sister-in-law tore the long kimchi into strips and put them on Yoo-geun’s spoon, and me and Seok-i ate the kimchi with our eyes closed.

shut up

Brown rice nurungji (fried rice nurungji) will make your stomach feel uncomfortable from drinking too much.

I gulped down a bowl of cold water.

“Hun-ah, if you get tired while traveling, come up quickly. Are there any problems with sticking it in your mouth on the floor in Seoul? Nowadays, you can make a lot of money if you are diligent. Got it?”

He’s the older brother who only knows work for the rest of his life.

Anything positive is good, but I am concerned. I’m a bit arrogant…

Now is the time to do what you love.

Even if my brother is like that, I hope Yoo-geun has a different set of values and thoughts.

He placed the plastic container containing the fish Yoo-geun had caught in the back seat and emphasized it once more.

“You have to feed them well.”

“Yes, Uncle, you should be well and healthy. You were so happy yesterday and today, thank you Uncle, I love you.”

“Yeah, Yugeun is healthy too. love you. Brother, drive carefully.”

“Okay, take care of your health. Are you going to stay in Jirisan for a while? Haesik will take good care of it. Stay comfortable until you are gone. I’m worried about moving, so call me.”

Jirisan is still far away.

I was thinking of enjoying late autumn a little more.

“Yes, I will.”

“Bocchan, be careful not to catch a cold. Do not skip meals. Seeing them make food makes me feel relieved.. And thank you in many ways..”

“Yes, brother. Climb carefully.”

thud!

closed the car door

An old compact car emitted black smoke and left the pension.

Thought.

Ah.. I need to change the car soon.

“Hi, the pension is quiet when the family with children leaves.”

It really was.

I wonder if the pension was crowded last night.

“Okay then. Let’s move too.”

“Yes, brother. I’ll bring you some food for the chewing gum and come back.”

“Draw, draw.”

Hae-sik, who was heading to Jirisan, was about to follow his brother.

To meet the real treasure of Jirisan.

Matsutake

I was a little worried that I could leave the gum tickets and the mangoes, but my sister-in-law eased the burden by saying that she was free.

“Don’t worry guys, have a good trip. The mountain is steeper than you think, so be careful.”

Today, the trekking shoes that Dami bought for me will show off their skills while taking off the trekking shoes that slipped and made dizzying moments here as well as in the Ugunsan Archipelago.

“Then, thank you. I’ve filled the bowl with food, so when they’re hungry, they’ll eat it on their own.”

“So. I really listened to Hoonie. I don’t know how strange it is.”

“They are so smart. I think it’s a blessing to meet a good dog. Then please.”

“Ayu, don’t worry.”

The guys were also enjoying Mt. Jiri dressed in autumn clothes on a tree in a mound across from the pension yard.

Hae-sik, who came out fully prepared, led me.

“Hey, let’s go.”

“Yes, brother.”

[Johun?]

stop.

Musong called me, so I stopped and turned around.

[Take Cathy. The mountain is deep and can be dangerous]

‘Um, okay.’

“Brother, wait a minute. I forgot something.”

Upon entering Moosong, Cassie is transformed into a long stick.

“ah···.”

Always a reliable cache.

“Cathy, thank you as always.”

＜No. The mountains are deep, you never know what might happen. I hope you have a happy time＞

“Wollae, what is it? Good equipment.”

“Ah yes. thank you.”

The stick, which looked luxurious to look at, caught the older brother’s attention.

Soon, he withdrew his questionable gaze and hurriedly moved his steps.

Hae-shik, dressed as a mountaineer, followed his older brother to the end of the cement road and to a narrow dirt road.

this..

Hae-sik’s father and the eldest brother of the family, who was born and raised here as a forestry worker, were also in place.

These are the so-called members of the Songi Crop Team in this village.

From now on, the day to collect pine mushrooms in Jirisan is only about a month.

Five or six villagers and the elderly who have been waiting for this day out of the year are also members of the Songi cutting class.

It is said that today, a ceremony is held to pour wine and bow to the mountain spirit so that matsutake mushrooms can be harvested without any accidents in the mountains.

All of them are members who can feel the traces of the exhausting years beyond Buddhahood, 1,000 people, 60th birthday, and 70th, but since it is the first day of the year’s harvest, everyone’s faces are full of bright expectations like children.

I was able to participate as a porter thanks to the consideration of Hae-sik’s older brother and father, who is the leader of the Songi harvesting crew.

Hae-sik and I seemed to be waiting for hyung-nim.

Everyone’s eyes turned to us.

I was the youngest, so I greeted them politely.

“hello.”

“Did my brother go up well?”

“Yes, father. Thanks to you, I had a good day and went up.”

“Good luck.”

Hae-shik is the youngest of 3 brothers.

Born and raised in Jirisan Mountain, Hae-shik’s father and the eldest brother, Hae-cheol, are natives of this area who live in orchards and live mushrooms.

Unlike Hae-shik, who returned to his hometown after living in the city, the eldest brother did not leave Jirisan, his hometown.

Brother Hae-sik said,

I hated my father’s hard life so much in the past, but now that I’m old and returned to my hometown, it’s a golden mountain.

I miss my hometown, Sancheon, and there is no place like my hometown.

“I am on a trip and I need to rest. Thank you for taking the time.”

It was a companion that I participated in because I was afraid of circumstances.

“no. I am more grateful for allowing me to have a valuable experience.”

“Okay then, let’s go up. Follow me carefully.”

“Yes, brother.”

Hae-cheol, the leader of the farming team, disappeared as if he had permeated into Mt. Jiri with 7-8 members.

These are people who have climbed mountains all their lives.

In order not to cause inconvenience to the work, I had to diligently follow it.

#

“hehehehe.”

It has been about 30 minutes since I walked through the pine forest where my feet are sinking.

Repeat chest inflated like a balloon.

I’m the youngest, but I think it’s the hardest.

Sweat trickles down like rain, but others only have wet foreheads.

“Are you okay?”

“What’s wrong with being young?”

“It’s okay, father. Heck heck. I followed because I wanted to go. Never mind. I’ll take a good look at it so that it doesn’t interfere with my work.”

After the encouragement of my father, who is the head of the group and the eldest member, Hae-sik older brother took out rice wine, fruit, yellow pollack, and simple bowls from the backpack I was carrying.

In the pine forest where fluffy pine needles are piled up.

The view was obstructed by the dense pine trees.

Members of the farming class were polite and stood in a line on a bamboo mat spread on the floor.

I finished preparing the fruit, yellow pollack, and alcohol bottles I had prepared carefully.

First, the eldest brother of Hae-sik’s older brother, the chairman of the crop, poured out the alcohol and all bowed three times.

Raising a glass and distributing the liquor throughout the pine forest, gosire… gosire…

“Goddess of Jirisan, please make sure that all of our harvesters in our harvesting group can grow a lot of pine trees safely..”

Like that, the members raised their glasses according to the number of people and prayed to the spirit who bought their wishes.

The content is the same.

A simple wish to be able to take more Songi than before for a month safely without any accidents..

I quickly rolled up a mat and put it in my backpack while I quenched my thirst with the leftover makgeolli and ate the remaining fruit.

“Now be careful and come down cheaply..”

After a brief ceremony, the members scattered in the mountains in groups of two.

Veteran brother Hae-cheol and his father, who go on mountain trails even with their eyes closed, move alone and are a team with the less veteran brother Hae-shik and me.

“Father, be careful.”

“Draw. Be careful too. Haecheol-ah, go slowly.”

“Yes, father. I’ll see you downstairs.”

“be careful.”

“Yes, brother.”

I posted a greeting to the two of them, but the two of them disappeared from sight before I knew it.

He sees me in surprise and smiles.

“Wow, that’s really great. You are old, too.”

“Amman, it’s a place I’ve been to all my life, but it’s nothing.”

Hae-sik hyung who says that when he sees his eldest brother, who has just passed 1,000, and his father, who is over 70 years old, they look like brothers.

“I’m getting old together.. My heart is drawn a little..”

“I would do it anyway.”

“Written. My father wants you to stop climbing mountains now…”

Haesik-hyung blurted out his words.

Hearing his father say that even though his energy is not good, he will climb the mountain until he can afford it.

First of all, because I did.

Even though there was an eldest son who is the chairman of the cropping unit and a younger son who is young and behind, the father’s small intention to be with them on the day of harvesting, which lasts about a month out of the year, is a strong support for everyone.

“Hun-ah.”

“Yes, brother.”

“Let’s take a look around soon.”

“Yes, brother.”

While moving along the ridge in search of a pine tree colony, I heard a brief explanation of where pine mushrooms grow well and pine mushrooms.

Matsutake mushroom, which is said to be the best among mushrooms growing on trees, grows on the roots of pine trees that are more than 30 years old, so you have to look around the roots of the pine trees.

If the length of the stem is more than 7 cm, it is of the highest grade.

His explanation is that when the price of matsutake mushrooms is good, just a few of the best ones is enough to make a living for the day.

“Oh yeah?”
