Chapter 73 The trip to Gwangju (1)

Our feelings about things going against our wishes must be deeper than what we want.

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

Gwangju, the fifth largest city in South Korea, and the capital of the post-Baoje period, had a relationship with Jeonju in that era just like the relationship between Beijing and Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. After the founding of South Jeolla Province, it was once the capital of Jeonju. It was promoted to Gwangju City on November 1, 1986. After the implementation of local autonomy in 1991, it was changed to Gwangju City in 1995.

Kang Jae-hee was sitting in the car heading to the city with a frown. She was sitting next to her, looking at Kim Taeyeon outside the car window with curiosity.

The rest without any pressure or task and the rest during work are completely different. Kang Jae-hee originally planned to enjoy this holiday, but the next day his uncle Kang Zhijian came to Jeonju and said he wanted to take him back to Gwangju and grandpa wanted to see him.

To be honest, he originally planned to wait until his parents come back before meeting this relative who has never been masked. So during this holiday, Kang Jae-hee didn't want to go to Gwangju to see his grandfather. But before he could find a reason to refuse, Kang Zhi-jin turned around and asked Kim Taeyeon if she wanted to go to Gwangju to have fun.

Kim Taeyeon, who is still young, has only been to Seoul except Jeonju. Oh, by the way, he has also visited Beijing... But no matter what, for a young girl in the age of high-spirited curiosity, it must be quite a pleasant thing to be able to travel to other cities. What's more, she is with Kang Jae-hee...

Before I could tell the reason for refusal, I was stillbirth...

It is undeniable that Kang Jae-hee is still curious about his grandfather and other family members whom he had never met before. He also wanted to know what special abilities other relatives had. He felt uncomfortable when he had secrets in his heart that he could not tell others. If he didn't want to be a weird person, he could only hide it all the time.

It is very close to Jinju to Gwangju, and it can be reached in less than an hour by car.

Unlike Jeonju, which has a strong Korean traditional style, although Gwangju is also a tourist city, its level of modernization is higher than Jeonju.

Unlike Kim Taeyeon, who was looking at the scenery outside the car window leisurely. Kang Jae-hee was not calm inside, not the nervousness and seriousness of facing things, but a kind of confusion.

He didn't know what attitude he should face in this life's direct blood relatives. Even his parents and uncles had been together for quite some time before they gradually became familiar with their current closeness. To put it bluntly, just like living with friends, time changed their relationship. Of course, the so-called blood relationship made Kang Jae-hee's parents and uncle very nice to him, and he accepted the care of this passively, slowly allowing Kang Jae-hee to integrate into this family. In a way, the natural closeness in the blood can be considered as meaningless.

As if he felt Kang Jae-hee's strangeness, Kim Taeyeon retracted her gaze that had been looking out the window and looked beside her.

Without Kim Taeyeon asking, Kang Jae-hee knew the meaning of Kim Taeyeon's eyes. On the one hand, it was because the two got along very well, and on the other hand, it was because Kim Taeyeon's expression was very rich, which made people easily understand what she wanted to express.

"I have never seen Gwangju's relatives since I can remember, so I don't know how to face them." Kang Jae-hee's memory does not have the impression of Gwangju, and he heard from his parents that he only had him after he arrived in Jeonju...

"No matter what, it is your relative." Kim Taeyeon is not very good at comforting people, not to mention that when he is with Kang Jae-hee, he is often comforted by him. This sudden role change makes Kim Taeyeon feel strange.

Kang Jae-hee also found it a little strange. Although he always treated Kim Taeyeon on an equal position with him instead of getting along like a little sister, for so many years, Kang Jae-hee has fulfilled Kim Ji-yong’s obligations for most of the time… “Well, it’s mainly because he’s too old, not as heartless as he was when he was a child.”

After saying that, I started chatting with Kim Taeyeon and stopped discussing this topic.

At the foot of Wusing Mountain, one of the most famous scenic spots in Gwangju, there is a small village on the side of the non-tourism route. Most Koreans know that the folk village of Le'anyi-seong in Gwangju has an ancient house from the Joseon era, but they don't know that the houses in this small village are houses that have been built in the Post-Three Kingdoms period, which are a little older than the Joseon era.

Although the house is long after all, the settings inside are very modern, some things that have been preserved since ancient times, such as wells and stone mills. An old man with gray hair but good spirits is sitting majestic in the lobby, watching... "X-MAN".

He laughed while watching. "Hahaha, these people are so interesting."

At this time, Jiang Zhidong, who had been with Jiang Jae-hee for a few days, walked in. He had no experience with his majestic uncle having such performance. He was obviously used to it. He walked to the old man and waited until the funny part of the plot was over and said, "Uncle, Zhijian and the others were coming soon."

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

"I just called and said I have entered the Gwangju territory."

"Well, go to the kitchen and talk to your wife, you can prepare."

In Korea, generally speaking, only the Zong family’s daughter-in-law is qualified to cook, and other daughters-in-law can only make a move. However, Jiang Jae-hee’s parents elope and Jiang Zhijian is not married, so the kitchen here has always been under the control of Jiang Zhi-dong’s wife.

An hour actually passed quickly. I took a nap, stared out of the window, chatted casually, and played with my phone.

Seeing this ancient village, Kim Taeyeon suddenly became excited. Every girl has a dream, and Kim Taeyeon is no exception. Her family is very simple. By the generation of her parents, she is already a standard Korean modern family. But TV shows some TV series between ancient families and modern society. Especially in the early 2004 "The Bride 18" drama, the plot of the conflict between modernization and tradition, but the easy integration of modernization and tradition also made Kim Taeyeon, who was obsessed with this TV series at that time, fantasized about it.

Although there is a Hanok Village in Jeonju, visiting and living are completely different moods. And I heard Kang Jae-hee’s uncle say that this is coming to visit his grandfather. Kim Taeyeon’s mind shows Kang Jae-hee calling her grandfather to Lee Soon-cai, who is wearing Korean clothes...

But Kim Taeyeon is a very well-behaved child after all, unlike the crazy girls in Seoul... "Ah, ah, sister, I'm sorry..." Choi Sooyoung, who was chatting with her sister, suddenly sneezed and hit Choi Soo-jin's face intact. He apologized quickly before his sister transformed...

He followed Kang Jae-hee well and waited for Kang Ji-jin to walk in before he walked in with Kang Jae-hee.
