Chapter 50
Episode 050: Uncle’s Call (2)
It was when I arrived at my uncle’s house and had just put my hand on the front door.
“what’s this! Why is the soup so salty!”
I heard my uncle’s voice from inside the door. He heard that while preparing the food for the ritual, he seemed to have found something he didn’t like.
The voice was so loud that it was clearly audible outside the door.
“No, there is only one day a year, so can we do it this way?”
Looking at the number of cars parked in the yard, it seems that the house must be full of relatives, but he doesn’t care at all and just says what he wants to say.
“If you’re not going to help, keep quiet!”
As if her eldest mother was offended by the constant nagging, she tries to respond.
“No, can’t I even say something like this at my mother’s ancestral rites?”
Rather, only her uncle’s voice rises louder.
“·················ogue.”
It was the same personality when I first came home after losing her parents at once.
I couldn’t bear to see my uncle like that, so I went straight up to Seoul on that road.
That was already 5 years ago. But no matter how much time passed, that voice and that personality didn’t seem to change.
Even now, I wanted to turn around and return to Seoul.
But then.
tuk tuk-
Someone tapped my shoulder. I looked back.
“If you come, go in. Why are you standing like that?”
He was the youngest uncle who was laughing mischievously. Normally, I should call him uncle, but since my age difference was not that much, what I had been called uncle since I was a child stuck in my mouth.
It’s clear that we haven’t seen each other in a long time, but it’s like we broke up yesterday and we met again.
“Are you talking to your uncle and your uncle?”
Let me smile and say He puts on an absurd look.
“In addition? Why doesn’t his temper hair not change as he gets older? Eheh, I’ve come all the way here, what should I do? You have to go in.”
Then, before I could say anything, he dragged me into the house.
“brother! Junyoung is here. Say hello to others.”
Let the youngest uncle go into the house and say, Relatives gathered in the living room glanced at this.
“Hello.”
“Oh yes… come on.”
“long time no see.”
A few awkward greetings come and go.
It was only when I was young that I still saw my relatives a few times a year, but after my parents passed away, it was the first time I saw them, so I was just confused.
“·················ogue.”
But after a short move, nothing is spoken. The problem was that we didn’t know each other even if we wanted to talk about something.
Then the youngest uncle, who spoke first, smiled awkwardly and tapped my shoulder.
But then.“Man, you don’t have to come down quickly, eat some food and help out.”
My uncle, who was sitting on almost the entire sofa in the living room, said to me with a dissatisfied expression.
I smiled softly and opened my mouth.
“I’ve been a little busy with work lately.”
Then, the uncle’s expression wrinkled in a strange way.
“What are you busy with? Has he been busy with his job for 5 years? Yes, these days, the road from Seoul to Inje is well paved, so it takes two hours to get there, don’t you have time to go back and forth for those two hours?”
He said to me in a dissatisfied tone.
Relatives around me make expressions like, ‘Is this a start again?’
It probably didn’t happen in a day or two.
Even thinking about it now, my uncle was not a person who spoke kind words.
“That’s about people with cars…and this isn’t downtown at all…it would take three hours if it was traffic jammed…”
There are signs that my uncle’s nagging is about to start. The youngest uncle, who was listening next to me, sneaked in. It was a common sense story.
But the uncle, who heard that, did not agree with his uncle’s words, but only raised his voice while blushing.
“So, what did you do without buying a car for over 30 years? Look at Nei noona, how good it is to pass the civil service exam, get a car, and get married.”
Then, he vomits out stories that no one has asked.
It was probably the first story that I studied for 7 years and barely passed the 9th grade civil service.
I heard that the land sold by my uncle during that time alone was worth a few hundred pyeong, but that doesn’t seem like a lot to be proud of.
“That’s why I told you to teach your skills like that while my father was still alive. Look, he didn’t listen to me and sent me to college with no money. ugh.”
Uncle’s mouth, once opened, never thought to close.
His youngest uncle spoke in a cautious tone.
“Ah, where did you come from? As they say, it’s only our time to take care of the ancestral rites… Chorong didn’t even come today…”
After hearing the youngest uncle’s words, the uncle looks at the youngest uncle with sullen eyes.
“Why bring up our Chorongi story? Are academy instructors and civil servants the same? He’s a country man. It can be difficult to come because it’s full of government jobs! And man, are you supposed to stop talking to your brother when he’s talking to you? I asked if he was coming or not because he was young.”
At the same time, my skin is trembling as I can’t fight it.
Then the youngest uncle quickly turns around.
“Junyoung-ah. Don’t stand here, unpack your bags over there. You should change your clothes and get some rest.”
Hearing the youngest uncle’s words, I put down the suitcase I brought with me to one side of the living room.
“But what is it all about? You’re going to spend the night, so what kind of luggage did you bring?”
The youngest uncle asked me with a puzzled expression if he was concerned about the size of the suitcase I brought.
But the answer came from the wrong place.
“What is it? It’s just a side dish container. My son-in-law buys a bottle of Chivas Regal every time he comes down. Someone bring a side dish to eat, eh.”
My uncle nodded that it must have been his prediction.
Then, with a chin gesture, he points to the display case in the living room.
There, the 12th and 18th years of Chivas Regal were displayed in line with each other.
“Uh, hyung, aren’t you over 18 years old?”
As the youngest uncle looked at the display case and said, the uncle coughed and turned his head.
Either way, he seems to be avoiding the answer.
I looked at it and smiled. Then, he opened the suitcase he had laid out and took out the belongings in it.
“I just bought you a present. I don’t know what you like, so I bought it myself. If you don’t like it, you can leave it alone.”
Then people’s attention immediately turned to me.
For a moment, curiosity and anticipation stood on the faces of the people. But it seemed that no one was willing to step out.
Reluctantly, I first took out a box and handed it to my youngest uncle. Then, the youngest uncle, who suddenly received the box, put on a confused expression.
“Gosh······. Why are you buying all these things? Can I take this?”
It seemed a bit difficult to receive a gift from someone below my hand.
I smiled and opened my mouth.
“Think of it as a new year’s money for five years.”
Then he smiles and opens the gift.
“okay? Then in spite of the worries…”
The uncle who unpacked the gift soon opens his mouth with a surprised expression.
“Hey, what is this, a wallet? Junyoung-ah, aren’t you being too pushy?”
I said as I shook my head.
“no. what is this it’s okay.”
Then the relatives, who had only been paying attention until then, rushed to take the gifts they had piled up.
“Oh my, isn’t this Chanel Gabrielle?”
“The great wallet is also Prada.”
“Awesome great!”
“Thank you, brother!”
“I love you, brother. Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty”
Each piece is priced at around 40,000 won.
It wasn’t a price that an individual couldn’t buy, but it wasn’t an easy price either.
I didn’t know what people would like, so I bought it as a product recommended by a department store, and the response was better than I expected.
Relatives who had looked at me indifferently until a while ago began to approach me with bright eyes.
But then.
“Kurham. Well. Well.”
My uncle, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly started making noises in the field.
It was a sound with the intention of focusing attention on himself.
But those who were already addicted to the gift didn’t care what his uncle was saying.
“Where are you, uncle?”
When I said that, my uncle shook his head with a trembling expression on his face.
“Hmm. no. Well, it’s just something But Yeongjun. What’s wrong with your uncle?”
It was a voice that was so soft that there was never again in the world.
I smiled slightly as I looked into his eagerly anticipating eyes.
“I also have an uncle. of course.”
let me say A red color flashed on the grandfather’s face.”okay? After all, since Youngjun was young, he took good care of people. Do I remember everything? yes what’s mine? Maybe Royal Salute 38 years? No, 38 years is too burdensome. 21 years or so…”
He started talking about his wishes to and fro before I could even say anything to him.
I smiled softly and pulled something heavy from my bag.
Then people’s attention turned to this. Expectation crept on his uncle’s face.
“I didn’t know what other people liked, so I bought it myself. Can you do that for your uncle’s gift? Of course, I bought what my uncle liked the most.”
Then the grandfather nodded his head and smiled kindly.
“okay? After all, his nephew is the best. Thank you. Young-jun… Ah, no, Jun-young-ah.”
The uncle who received the gift immediately began to unpack the gift.
However.
Uncle’s expression turned red as he opened the gift wrapper.
Then his youngest uncle glanced at the name of the gift.
“uh? Chivas Regal 25 years? Hey, this expensive and good drink.”
After hearing the youngest uncle’s words, the uncle let out a deep sigh and put the bottle down on one side of the sofa.
He then picks up the remote control and starts turning the TV channels. Anyone can see that they were disappointed with the gift I gave them.
OK.
“No, if your nephew you haven’t seen in a long time has given you a gift, you can say thank you. Don’t worry about it, Junyoung, just rest. Her eldest mother will cut her fruit right away.”
Her eldest mother looks at her uncle and says: Then her uncle coughs with a dissatisfied expression. There seems to be something wrong with the form of constantly changing TV channels.
But other people are taking pictures with their cell phones and talking to each other whether they are satisfied with the gift I have given them.
“By the way, where are you in Seoul now? Can I go play sometime?”
“brother. I have an older sister, can you introduce me to her?”
And some came to me warmly and talked to me.
But at that moment.
“Uh-huh? brother!”
One of her relatives and younger sisters, who were watching TV while holding a gift, suddenly shouted.
Then people’s eyes turned to him.
“what’s the matter?”
When my youngest uncle asks me strangely, his brother-in-law looks at me and points at the TV.
“That’s Junyoung hyung, right?”
People’s eyes follow the fingers of their relatives and brothers and gather on the TV.
Then there.
[Yes. Contestant #17, can you introduce yourself?]At the request of the MC, I was opening my mouth.
[Hello. My name is Jun-Young Kim, who is currently a lecturer at an academy and is conducting a study broadcast on Yotube.]The eyes of my relatives turned to me. I nodded my head lightly. Then my relatives started looking at me with new eyes.
But in the meantime, only my uncle looks at me with a dissatisfied expression.
“How did you go about crawling like that? Even if it’s a live show, it’s going to fall off soon… You’re planning all those things in advance. There is no point in going out.”
I just laugh without answering.
