“It’s the southern greenbelt area, sir,”

“And?”

“There are immense fields of cucumbers and oriental melons in the area, sir,”

“And?”

“Due to the poor condition of transportation infrastructure, and the difficulty of access, the area is unlikely to be developed in the near future, sir,”

“H a pasture shouldn’t be a problem,”

“A pasture for…?”

“Identify whether this land is available for purchase,”

“Howabout, sir?”

“Yes, sir,”

Only 50? I expected more than 100 acres damn

“Now, let’s see how the land you picked changes,”

“Does land change?” I asked innocently

“Listen, kid I’ht now, but I want you to remember that,”

Go on I understand everything

“Yes, grandfather,” I said, nodding

“Land is a living thing,”

After a little pause, he continued,

“Why is that?” I asked

“It takes so long It takes old dust However”

I tilted my head

“You are so young right now,” he said

He rong It will not take old dust, a nen in 2 years

The smash hit TV series ‘Reply 1988’ seems like another world to me now

Its story tells about the lives of ordinary people, while I live in the story of affluent people’s lives

“Do-jun? What are you doing here again?” Seo-yun asked

Look who’s talking!

“How’s your ?” she asked, then went aithout reply

Her husband who is getting ready to run for the National assembly shot a very quick s randfather’s study

He always givesIn particular, whenever he looked at my mother, I’d seen the coarse look in his eyes Because of her fadeless beauty, my mother can still attract the attention of men, and the jealousy of other women in the family which is the implicit reason they don’t warm to her

Anyway, as that SOB passed by me, I had to resist my impulse to pluck out his eyes
