Chapter 597 – Gapjil
Being a farmer.
I thought I was living a leisurely slow life in the countryside.
“Honey~ The truck has arrived.”
“Uh, I went to the bathroom for a moment!”
This is what you see in textbooks.
I sow seeds diligently in the spring.
Percussion!
You can just wait until fall to have fun.
The reality was completely different.
‘I do farming every month.’
Kim Seo-yeon, an office worker in her 30s.
She won the Food Market Youth Return to Farm Project.
At first she was overjoyed.
She is able to live a picturesque life!
Percussion!
Percussion!
The reality was not easy.
Farming was not easier than working.
Rather, there are some difficult aspects.
Because it is a structure where you get what you work for.
“Wow, this is really going to take all day.”
“Take it easy.”
“But if we have to repay the loan…”
I can’t play.
I don’t feel like playing.
Profit will decrease.
‘Even if there are no eyes to see.’
Smart farm.
The system automatically monitors crop production.
It’s comfortable.
It is accurate.
Instead of having the advantage of not having to do chores.
—————————–±
『Monitoring my crops』
Temperature: 26.7℃
Humidity: 62.5%
External sensor: Normal
Internal sensor: Normal
Expected production: 7,125kg
±——————————————–
Big data is collected.
Information about agricultural products is transferred to the head office.
The side effects.
We have full insight into the production volume of each greenhouse.
“This time, I have to be in the top 10%.”
“I failed unfortunately last time, didn’t I?”
“What’s the difference of 1 million won~?”
Grading.
Additional incentives are given depending on quality and production.
‘Does it make sense that my monthly salary would be different by 1 million won just because I was a little lazy?’
From the receiving perspective?
I feel like I am at a disadvantage.
I feel like I didn’t get the money I was supposed to receive.
It encourages competitive spirit.
I work harder to get to the top rankings.
“This place is just like a company?”
“My words.”
“I thought something would be different if I lived in the countryside, but there’s no difference from the city.”
After work.
Have a drink like office workers after work.
It has become possible.
At first, there were only convenience stores.
Before we knew it, food stalls came in and even real restaurants opened.
Gulp!
A commercial district was created.
As soon as there are farmers making money, merchants come to sell their goods.
“You brag about it like that on Instagram?”
“It’s just a photo.”
“The number of followers increased tremendously. It was over 10,000.”
“Oh, did you see it?”
An environment similar to a city.
Similar work to a company.
Have a little fun in the countryside.
It is a scenery that cannot be seen in a concrete forest.
Living in a single-family home.
‘It feels like a pension, and it’s nice.’
After a month, I even forgot about gardening.
I’m tired of seeing the grass cut.
But it’s great for showing off.
Because it looks special to office workers in the city.

＃Returning to farming#Daily life#Barbecue
[Photo of a barbecue party in the garden. Jpg]
It’s instinct to look forward to the weekend… ♡
└Wow, firewood barbecue sounds so delicious!
└Gi Ji-bae is eating well
└I also want to return to farming…
└Do you feel like you’ve been on a vacation every day?
And that sometimes happens.
Getting ready~
After taking care of it~
Buying and eating is the most convenient in the world.
In reality, I eat restaurants and convenience foods most often.
There is nothing we can do as we are modern people.
‘The places where people live are all similar.’
Ideal and reality.
There was a difference.
That doesn’t mean I’m disappointed.
I am somehow satisfied with my life.
There are definitely some parts that are more comfortable than the harsh city.
Buzz, buzz!
The youth returnee village has entered the stabilization stage.
A production and distribution system was established.
Most of the participants also succeeded in settling down.
Although their own society was being created.
“Daesik and Chunsik came in by accident, hehe.”
The biggest difficulty remained.
* * *
Regional development.
There are more than one or two difficulties.
‘It’s like cleaning a room.’
Isn’t this clean enough?
I didn’t even clean under the bed, and dust piled up on the bookshelf.
The window frame is full of grime.
There are a lot of things to catch in this way.
Buzz, buzz!
The pod.
There is someone who catches you.
It is the biggest reason why rural areas do not develop.
“What is happening now?”
“Representative!”
“Wow, it’s really Lee Chan-wook.”
“I saw you last time~.”
As expected, something is about to explode.
No, it will definitely happen.
‘I knew it, but.’
Return to rural area.
It wasn’t built in one or two places.
It is being built or under construction all over the country.
This is because there are limits to developing only a small area.
If you expand your business like that.
“Are you the head of this place?”
“You could call me the head of the village. Yes, I also hold a concurrent job.”
” Haha!””
“Why are you so loud~?”
Friction occurs.
Native people.
Just like what Columbus experienced when he discovered the New World.
‘It’s fortunate that the natives are cooperative.’
They definitely come after me with a spear.
I have to film an episode of leaderna Jones.
Such a situation.
This is also happening in Korea in the 21st century.
“If you go to Paris, you follow Parisian law, and if you go to Rome, you follow Roman law. In this village, you have to follow the will of the village community~ This is it!”
An elderly grandfather.
It looks like the improved hanbok is no joke.
They are being territorial.
They seem to be indigenous people living in this area.
“I understand what you’re saying, but I manage my village well.”
“Eng!”
“Yes?”
“They are arbitrarily invading the land where our ancestors have lived. If they use our land and our water, they should at least help us with chores.”
He is the type that gets angry a lot.
He is good at wielding a pointer, as if he received a village medal from his childhood.
Such misbehavior.
This is what I was going through.
It is natural for young farmers to feel troubled.
‘I feel like I want to grab you by the collar and change the positions of heaven and earth.’
We will give you a test ride on a roller coaster that you cannot ride in the countryside.
Don’t be bored on the way to the afterlife.
I can’t do it.
That’s why it hurts.
Dealing with indigenous people.
“Follow me quickly!”
“Where? Old man.”
“I have to draw water. There’s a lot of work to do, but the young people are just hanging out here. Ugh~ Tsk!”
Pay as much as you can.
He wants to treat young people as his servants.
‘It looks like the baby of a twin.’
It is also a trace of an agricultural society.
Poomasi.
It’s a word you’ve heard at least once in a textbook.
It was natural to help each other.
In particular, young people were called ‘village workers.’
Trap!
It is also being forced on farmers.
This is the way of life in rural areas in the past.
“Are you coming alone?”
“I think other people are very busy.”
“The village head does it, but the rest don’t? Anyway, the young people these days…”
It is inevitable that friction will occur.
In 21st century Korea.
‘There are still people who live there thinking it is the Korean Empire.’
The biggest challenge.
This is a wall that companies investing in local regions must overcome.
In fact, it often happens.
All legal procedures and budget execution have been completed.
“There’s no need to be rude! If an adult tells you to do it, you’ll do it right away.”
“Things are cheap these days.”
“Yes, the village chief knows something…”
“Why are you ordering it when you know it’s not there?”
It was canceled due to opposition from the natives.
No matter how fair the procedures were followed.
‘Because what is above the law is the law of the herd.’
What if local residents are dissatisfied?
Local politicians cannot remain silent.
The business plan falls apart.
Such accidents are very common across the country.
A few years at most.
They are tied up for over 10 years.
It is the main culprit that hinders regional development.
“Are there all these shabby bastards? Did their parents teach them that? Somehow, all the young people in the village are like this…”
Only they do not know that fact.
The whale mountain village is screaming to leave.
‘When you get old, you die…’ …, Eating is easy to digest.’
I think I should run a franchise specializing in oatmeal.
If you take it, your temperament may improve.
I couldn’t eat it.
We want young people to help us from start to finish.
“Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t know your name.”
“Everyone here, from the police chief to the county governor, are my in-laws and relatives, but you just gave up on life. I think so!”
“Oh… That’s interesting.”
If it was an elderly person who was suffering like that, we might have helped them for welfare reasons.
Unfortunately.
‘I think you’ve corrected it.’
It is said that he also has a lot of connections.
It seems like the local area can be maintained.
Such people.
It’s quite tricky.
Normally, it would be right to bow your head.
“Eng~ Tsk! Tsk tsk!”
The goal is not to settle down in this rural area.
We must not set a bad precedent.
‘Especially in Korea.’
What if I do it to just one person?
They rush at you like a pack of hyenas, asking for me too.
We need an example.
The fact that if you do something stupid, you will lose what you have.
* * *
Nosa Kim.
As the head of Mokdol Village, he cannot help but be frowned upon.
“You don’t understand that much?”
“That’s right!”
“Oh, listen to me. Young people are so strict.”
Not long ago, many young farmers came in.
The residents who saw it were excited.
Why?
There are no young people in the village.
The elderly must do all the hard work.
‘Why is it so difficult when all you have to do is provide a waterway and plant some rice?’
Just ask the young people who have returned to farming.
I was planning to call 15 people to help with rice paddy farming.
“I won’t sit still! I was originally planning on receiving only 5 million won from the village development fund, but I couldn’t accept anything less than 10 million won!”
I won’t do it.
The young guys are making sure not to rip off even their words.
Gather the villagers and threaten them.
Never look kindly on returning farmers.
“But chief.”
“Mr. Park, do you have something to say?”
“Are these cheap people going to raise the village development fund properly? If they don’t listen to the village head, they will hear our words with one ear and let them go with the other.”
“…”
This is war.
A stone that has rolled in must not be left alone.
‘I have thoughts about everything.’
The village’s connections begin to circulate.
