[In-it] There is no law called a famine forever

There are several advantages to working in an area where urban and rural areas are mixed together.

First of all, the scenery is good.

A village with small houses under the mountain, where Onggi species are gathered, a creek flowing through it, and a wide field of rice fields next to it spread like a picture just outside the city.

Moreover, in the case of our company, the intensity of work in these places is honestly weaker than in the metropolitan area.

So, for a person who has been working for a long time in Seoul under the stress that is hard to bear in Seoul like me, it takes a lot of time to commute and there are some difficulties, but it is very good.

While working with a relaxed mind, my eyes are strong.

That afternoon was also a day to enjoy this kind of joy.

After lunch with some of the staff, we had a conversation over a cup of tea at a pretty cafe located in a scenic place where water flows through the mountain and valley nearby.

"They say it's a golden field, and the rice there is really pretty. It seems like the golden cloth flutters with the wind."

I admired and continued.

"It looks like another year is over. If all that is harvested, this year will be over. Uh, but it's weird. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and why is the rice still intact? It's the Mid-Autumn Festival that gathers all the harvested crops and greets them? "

Then the manager replied with a smile.

"It seems like a villager in Seoul is paying off. Most of the grains and fruits are unripe around Chuseok. In Chuseok, the grain is rolled up before the harvest, when the important point of farming is passed, and we make sacrifices to our ancestors and pray for a good harvest. ."

Then the sales team leader next to him helped with a word.

"That's right. Chuseok in Korea is different from Thanksgiving in the West. Our Chuseok is a holiday to pray for a good harvest and a good harvest while enjoying the season of paralysis ahead of the big day of the autumn harvest. The same thing is the Sangdal test done in October of the lunar calendar."

I said in amazement.

"Is that so? I really knew it for the first time. I don't think I was a villager in Seoul, but I didn't have common sense, haha. I have to ask people I meet this Mid-Autumn Festival if they know this."

Then, this time, the conductor asks me as if he was condemned.

"But why do you keep saying it's the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

At this question, I was stunned for a moment.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is a name used in China and Vietnam. I think that name should not be used as much as possible. Of course, Chuseok is not pure Korean, but it is better because it is a Korean language that is only used in Korea. It is Hangawi in pure Korean, as you all know."

I was hot.

"Ah! That's right, that's right. Chuseok, Hangawi. I made a mistake. I'm sorry."

"Yes, what are you going to do during the Hangawi holiday? It seems like the customs of Hangawi will change drastically because of the corona. Where are you going?" I tried to change the subject of the conversation.

Then, the staff said that this is an urban and rural area, and most of their parents are nearby, so they stayed at the grave and greet their parents, not much different from the past.

Then, the deputy general manager said as if worried.

"But this was a big problem. Our wife's mouth came out this much."

When we wonder why, he tells the story.

"My parents told my brothers who lived in Seoul and other places not to come home this time. Of course, it's because of the coronavirus. But my house is telling us to come. Because we live nearby. Thanks to that, my wife takes over the housework, such as preparing the Chuseok tomb. It looks like it's like that. From my wife's point of view, it was poisonous.

Then he said, "Be good to my wife, if I do something wrong, I'll do something bad."

At this time, the manager quietly said something else.

"I think there will be a lot of people who are heartbreaking this Chuseok. We are lucky to work in a company that is not damaged by corona, so we are talking leisurely in such a good place, but now there are many people who are not."

The manager told us exactly what the taxi driver had said a few days ago.

"A few days ago, a customer got on, and he complained to me, a taxi driver, and cried all the way. The customer runs a coin karaoke room, but not long ago, it was closed because it was closed in the country to suppress the spread of corona, and now it is open. They say that very few customers come. I have to pay the rent and I need living expenses, but I don't know what to do because I don't earn money. I couldn't comfort myself. It was really bad."

The sales team leader gave a similar case to this story.

"My neighbor had a couple fight a few days ago, and my wife said that it was due to financial difficulties. My neighbor's uncle runs an outdoor clothing store, but like the owner of a coin karaoke room, the business wasn't going well, so he gave it to his wife. She said she had reduced the cost of living. His wife understood it, but she must have been dissatisfied inside. In that situation, while preparing for a ritual with her in-law, I don't know what happened, but I was offended and talked about it to my husband, and then they exploded."

Our pleasant conversation in a scenic place suddenly became gloomy.

There was a moment of silence and I opened my mouth.

“This misfortune could soon become our job. As the manager said, we have missed the corona crisis right now, but if the economy overall slows down, difficulties will come to our company. We may have to take this leave of work, and then we will be like the coin karaoke owner or the sales team leader next door.”

At my words we all sighed.

As the atmosphere became heavier, the golden field looked lonely, and the cheerful sound of the stream sounded like Beethoven's rain window.

At this time, an exciting song came out of the cafe.

"It's like that in life, woohoo makes sense. Is it everyone's fault, I know everything. Shut up! / We have to run, we can't be fools, let's run! / Everything is blocked, we have power No, shut up! / We have to run, we have to fight lies. Let's run!"

Listening to this song made me feel a little energized.

Hangawi is said to be a holiday to pray for a good harvest by offering sacrifices to our ancestors before harvesting grain.

Then our farming is not over yet.

So we have to shut up and run.

This Chuseok holiday is very important to shut up and run.

After Chuseok, you have to accumulate enough strength physically and mentally to run horses.
