Chapter 46: I Didn’t Come to Enjoy the Countryside
Chapter 46 I Didnt Come to Enjoy the Countryside
Alright, everyone, take one tray each and move to your assigned rows.
The village head distributed the trays and assigned each member to a row of corn.
He was speaking in Seoul dialect, since we were from Seoul, but his accent was very thick with the local dialect.
We couldnt laugh. We all clenched our mouths and hid our faces behind the corn leaves, shaking our shoulders.
I showed you how to harvest the corn earlier, right? Just follow the same way and harvest all the way to the other side, then come down.
The cornfield was oddly located on a hill where it could get the direct sea breeze.
It was a popular crop that was sold as corn grown with the sea breeze.
There was no port, just a coastal cliff, so instead of the fishy smell, there was a fresh salty scent in the air.
The corn has a better life than me. I want to grow up with the sea breeze too.
Ye-jun fiddled with his sun cap that had a shade to block the sunlight. It wasnt even noon yet, but the temperature had risen sharply since dawn.
If it werent for the sea breeze, we would have been on fire by now.
Stop talking nonsense and focus on harvesting.
We all had microphones on, but we knew how this scene would be used.
The working scene would be over in 30 seconds, with us just showing some grumbling.
But we had no choice. Our goal was the performance part that would be broadcasted the longest
But the farmers goal was this.
With that in mind, we put our enthusiasm into harvesting. Thats when we heard a scream from the row that Seong-won was in charge of.
Ahh-!
What was that? Did he get hurt? It would be a big deal if he cut his face by accident.
Whats wrong? Are you hurt?
We rushed to the next row, pushing aside the corn. Seong-won screamed louder.
No! Dont come this way! Dont come! Ahh!
Whats wrong with him? We all stopped harvesting and ran to Seong-won.
Seong-won was making a fuss, telling us not to come near him, but no one would stay away in this situation.
Whats going on?
Kyunghwa asked, squinting his eyes in the bright sunlight, even though he had a shade on.
When we got closer, we saw a huge centipede about 30cm away from Seong-won.
Oh thats not good.
The centipede was slightly longer than the longest finger, and it was waving its numerous legs.
Ack! Go away!
Seong-won backed away, trying to threaten it with his harvesting tool, but it was useless.
The centipede seemed determined to stick to its path, and it slowly approached Seong-won.
Ah, why are you coming, go away!Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
Seong-won was wondering if he should run to the next row, glancing sideways.
Yap.
Seon-woo grabbed the centipede with his bare hand, only wearing work gloves.
I caught it!
He could touch it with his hand. Seong-wons face turned pale.
Get away, please!
Okay! Ill throw it away.
Seon-woo lifted his hand with the centipede, as if he was proud of his catch.
Wow thats big.
I would have a hard time catching that with my bare hand.
Running a restaurant, there was no better environment for bugs to gather. Especially in the back alley where there was a back door.
I was good at keeping them out, but that thing was beyond human imagination.
What are you talking about?
Seong-won, who was this guy to Ye-jun, twitched his eyebrows.
The game started with Ye-juns provocation, and the atmosphere heated up.
It was a noisy meal time as usual.
***
After finishing the meal, it was time to work again.
The field we worked on earlier was the village heads field.
The field we were going to start now was the field of the oldest elder in the village.
They said that the villagers helped each other with the field work. But maybe because he was old, the weed management was not well done.
So the corn kernels were a little better than the previous field.
Hey, Oh Ye-jun, stop messing around and focus.
Ye-jun stopped picking corn and suddenly peeled off the husk and looked closely. Kyunghwa finally scolded him.
Look at this. This was eaten by a bug.
Ye-jun ignored Kyunghwas words and pushed the bug-eaten corn to Seong-won next to him.
Ah, you crazy Go away!
Damn, Son Seong-won. He must have wanted to say crazy until the end of his chin. Fortunately, he avoided the disaster of continuing the sentence after crazy.
Ah, why. Just look at it once.
Look at what? Go away!
In the end, Seong-won ran away with his tail between his legs and Ye-jun quickly followed him. The camera lens pressed them hard.
Ah, Ill look at it!
Seon-woo naively threw away his farming tool and chased after the two. Eventually, Kyunghwa raised his voice.
Stop it, all three of you. Dont you come back?
Finally, Kyunghwa picked up a corn that had no commercial value and hit Ye-jun with it.
It seemed like he did it on purpose.
Ye-jun rolled around on the soft ground with a thud. A burst of laughter erupted.
They are young in reality, but. At times like this, they are really like elementary school students.
But compared to fighting with each other as if they had no regrets even if they broke up right away This was obviously much better.
Yeah, just get along and dont fight. It might be a good thing in the long run, but for now, it was a matter of my life and revenge.
The camera that was filming the noisy guys turned to me.
?
I reflexively opened my eyes wide and pointed at myself with my hand.
The PD nodded and asked me.
Are you not going, Ise?
It seemed like he was asking why I was working hard alone when everyone else looked like they were having fun.
If the kids play, I have to work at least one.
Chuckling, I threw the corn in and decided to make friends with him as I had a chance.
Do you want to try picking with me, PD? Its not hard.
Uh
The PD, who had a sullen expression, was caught by me and came over.
He held the camera with one hand and picked the corn with the other.
Wow, youre good at it. PD, you have really good arm strength. Do you do any strength training?
Uh I go to the gym a little
Wow, thats why. You look like you have a better body than the idols.
Before I knew it, the PD who was caught by me helped me with the harvest.
Time passed faithfully and soon it was time for the performance.
It was time to go back to my idol job.
