[Comprehensive Korean Drama] "Core" Life

Cui Yingxiong was carrying things in one hand, and Cui Xinai was walking on a remote path with the other, preparing to go home.When he was about to turn into the village at the end of the road, Pei Renxiu, who often fought with him in the village, came up with his two little followers. Cui Yingxiong subconsciously slowed down and pushed Cui Xinai, who was walking beside him, behind him. , looking at the "enemy" vigilantly.

"Oh, oh, Cui Yingxiong and Cui Xinai are two poor people, they have mothers but no fathers!..." The three Pei Renxiu saw Cui Yingxiong and Cui Xinai, and they really surrounded them, laughing at them loudly, accompanied by ridicule There was a sound, and many stones and dirt fell on Cui Yingxiong and Cui Xinai.At first, Cui Yingxiong took his younger sister to dodge left and right, avoiding the stones and clods that were thrown at them, and ran forward as fast as he could, thinking about going home, ignoring them.But Pei Renxiu and the others had already blocked the way forward, and Cui Xin's wife had short legs, so she couldn't run fast at all, and more and more stones and clods fell on her body.

Trying his best to protect Cui Xinai behind him, Cui Yingxiong, who had endured more stones and clods, could not escape, handed the things in his hand to Cui Xinai, rushed over with a cry, and fought twice.Cui Xinai saw Pei Renxiu and Cui Yingxiong entangled and wrestling on the ground, so she couldn't care less, threw the things in her arms to the ground, let them scatter on the ground, and ran to the entrance of the village, shouting loudly while running.

Although Cui Yingxiong was tall and tall, he was hard to beat with two fists and four hands. He was quickly knocked down by Pei Renxiu and the others, and the battle situation turned to one side.When Cui Xinai called Master Jin from the pickle restaurant in the village, Cui Yingxiong had already been pressed to the ground and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.Master Jin's arrival didn't stop the children who were already furious and twisted into a ball. It was he who separated them by himself.

Master Jin first blamed Cui Yingxiong and Pei Renxiu for not fighting, and then reprimanded Pei Renxiu for fighting one of them.Pei Renxiu, the leader of the three, not only did not admit his mistake, but also acted as if he had all the reasons: "My mother said that Cui Yingxiong and Cui Xinai's mothers are shameless, and they know how to seduce men all day long! ... There is such a Mother is here, they will not be good things! Such a person deserves to be beaten to death!..."

"Bah, the family is so poor that they are in debt, they almost can't even eat, they are no different from beggars, and they put on a show all day long, so can people look up to your family, should they look down on you or not!" Pei Renxiu didn't apologize either, but instead spat fiercely at Yingxiong Cui, left behind a few words that she obviously learned from the adults, and walked away with her two attendants.

Seeing Pei Renxiu leaving impolitely, Master Jin couldn't help shaking his head, "This child, this child..." He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end. After all, how could an adult care about a child.Sighing, Master Jin's eyes fell on Cui Yingxiong, and said: "Cui family boy, you are also a worry-free person, okay, what are you doing to provoke Pei family boy when you have nothing to do? Just get beaten up for nothing. In the future, if you see the Pei family boy, try to hide as much as possible. How can you beat the three of them by yourself? Besides, the Pei family boy’s mother is not easy. It's not that your family suffers."

Seeing that Master Jin blamed himself for the mistake, Cui Yingxiong was dissatisfied.Cui Xinai, who was standing aside, saw him open his mouth to refute, so she quickly reached out and tugged at his right sleeve, and shook her head slightly, signaling him not to speak.After receiving Cui Xinai's glare, Cui Yingxiong closed his mouth unwillingly, but his face was still angry, revealing his true thoughts.Master Jin didn't care about Cui Yingxiong's little thought, "You guys go home quickly, so that your mother won't worry." Turning around, he strode towards the village.Cui Yingxiong and Cui Xinai hurriedly agreed, and followed Master Jin with their things, walking quickly.

The Shunren restaurant opened by Cui's mother is a family restaurant, and it uses the Cui family's outer hall.When the two brothers and sisters arrived home, there were no guests in the restaurant because it was not mealtime yet, and Mama Cui was choosing vegetables and washing rice in the outer hall, making preparations.The two greeted Mother Cui.Cui's mother saw Cui Yingxiong's bruised nose, swollen face, and mud-stained clothes. She stopped picking vegetables, glanced at the siblings, and then said to Cui Xin'ai: "Xin'ai, take your things into the house first. If you have nothing to do, you won't be allowed." come out."

Hearing Cui's mother's order, Cui Xin'ai gave Cui Yingxiong a worried look, and Cui Yingxiong gave her a look of "I'm fine, you can rest assured", signaling Cui Xin'ai to enter the house obediently.After Cui Xinai entered the room, Cui's mother closed the door and locked the door from the outside, then picked up the broom thrown in the corner, and beat the sweeping end at Cui Yingxiong, scolding Cui Yingxiong: "Damn boy, You will itch if you don’t beat me every day! Your old lady and I are exhausted every day, but you are always fighting for me outside. Why don’t you come to help me when you have that spare time? And this time you even brought Look at your sister, if you don’t learn well, do you want your sister to learn from you? You bastard, you are exactly the same as your dead ghost father, you are not a worry-free guy! I will kill you, a bastard who has never changed his mind!  … ..."

Cui's mother opened and closed her mouth, as if a faucet of tap water had been turned on, and all kinds of vulgar words poured out continuously.No matter how many times she faced it, Cui Xinai couldn't adapt to this situation.On the contrary, Cui Yingxiong is used to this. He does not avoid or evade Cui's mother's beating. He just tries his best to protect his head with his hands and does not make any excuses, because he knows that no matter what the reason is, Cui's mother thinks that as long as there is a fight It was wrong, and the more she defended, the angrier Cui's mother became, and the more she beat her, the more time passed, and Cui Yingxiong simply said nothing.

Seeing Cui Yingxiong standing there without saying a word and being beaten stubbornly, Cui's mother suddenly felt sour in her heart, threw away the broom in her hand, sat on a stool beside her and began to cry.For Cui's mother's unreasonable playing of cards, Cui Yingxiong was stunned for a moment, then worried, and opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he stood by and watched his mother cry.Cui's mother cried for a while, and stopped after venting her depression and grievances. Seeing Cui Yingxiong standing by the side at a loss, she gave him an angry look and said, "Why are you standing here in a daze? Why don't you go to the kitchen?" Bring you and Xin Ai's meal to eat. After eating, stay at home and do your homework and study hard. If you dare to go out and cause trouble for me, be careful with your skin!" After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at Cui Yingxiong With a glance, I continued to choose dishes.

Cui Yingxiong and Cui Xinai finished their meal and cleaned up the dishes.Cui Yingxiong lay on the folding desk and began to do homework, while Cui Xinai sat opposite, holding a dictionary and flipping through Cui Yingxiong's first-grade textbook.After flipping through the book for a while, Cui Xinai, who was kneeling, felt a little numbness in her calves, so she straightened her legs from under the table, and lay on her back with the book covering her face.Cui Yingxiong has turned a blind eye to Cui Xinai's appearance, and continues to do his homework and read his books.

Soon it was time for dinner, and Shun Ren Restaurant became lively.The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a loud voice sounded in the cabin of "Shun Ren Hotel". "Sister-in-law Cui, bring me two stir-fried rice cakes, two miso soups, one lettuce cucumber dipped in chili sauce, and one fried bean sprouts. Another ten bottles of soju!"

"One soup bibimbap, two bottles of soju!"

……

The restaurant was very lively, apart from the sound of drinking and toasting, clamoring for more meat in the food, there were also some teasing words about Shun Ren and booing.Cui Xinai could clearly hear the voice of Cui's mother asking the guests to order more bottles of soju or order more dishes when she was drinking with the guests. Although she knew that Cui's mother did this for her own life, Cui Xin'ai still felt uncomfortable , There was a burst of sadness, in the final analysis, it was just one word "poor"!

"Sister-in-law Cui, don't keep hiding in the kitchen, come out and have a few drinks with your brothers!"

"Haha, sister-in-law Cui, brother Cui is gone, it's not easy to live alone with two children, do you want brothers to help?"

……

The words outside became more and more outrageous, and gradually became obscene.Facing the molesting and humiliation of their mother that they can hear almost every day, Cui Xinai and Cui Yingxiong are still as angry as they are when they hear it for the first time no matter how many times they hear it. So that they can't talk nonsense, the brothers and sisters can't do anything.

South Korea is a patriarchal country, so it is a male-dominated family model, and it is men who support the whole family at home.However, now in this family, the adult man has passed away due to illness, and the remaining man is Cui Xinai's elder brother, Cui Yingxiong, a little Douding who is only nine years old.The patriarchal system has caused women to have low family and social status, not to mention that Shun Ren is a widow who lost her husband, so people bully her.It will take at least ten years for Cui Yingxiong to grow up and be able to support this family.There is no man in the family who is a door-to-door household, so I can't afford to be hurt!

In the past, when encountering such a situation, Cui Yingxiong used to rush out to scold the guests regardless, and beat them with a broom, and finally kicked them out.There is a strict hierarchy in Korean life, and juniors should respect their seniors.Therefore, Cui Yingxiong's behavior was accused of being stubborn, uneducated, and offending the elders.While gaining a bad reputation, Cui Yingxiong's behavior did not bring any benefits to the family.In addition to living on the hotel, the family has to pay back the huge usury loan that they borrowed for father’s medical treatment. The pressure of life is very high. Because of Cui Yingxiong’s “impolite” behavior, many guests did not come to eat for a long time, and the restaurant’s business suffered. .

The area where Cui Xinai's family lives now is a "slum area". The people living here are all poor, and the education they receive is not high, so they don't have much quality.A lot of people don't have serious jobs, and fighting is commonplace, extortion, even murder and arson are not unheard of here.Therefore, it is just a trivial matter to say "dirty words" to the pretty restaurant proprietress.There are fewer customers in the restaurant, but it doesn't mean that there are no people who don't tease Shun Ren's mother anymore.Unless you just hide at home and don't go out, as long as you show your face, this kind of thing will still inevitably happen.Therefore, the final result of the matter was that Cui Yingxiong was beaten fatly, and then he was dragged by his mother to apologize to the guests who were hit by him with a broom, and Shun Ren made another table of delicious dishes, and invited everyone to eat as a reward , the matter ends.Then, everything went back to normal.

As for the case of Cui Yingxiong kicking out guests with a broom, for Shun Ren, since the matter has been resolved, it is over, so don't mention it again.However, for Cui Yingxiong, this incident has not passed. He doesn't understand why his mother has to endure those unbearable words, why can't he open a restaurant in a serious manner?It is because his mother can't "be an upright person" that he will be ridiculed and bullied by the children in the village.It was obviously someone else's fault, why was he the one who was punished and apologized in the end? ... Cui Yingxiong's self-esteem can't accept all this. He is very disappointed with his mother, and his respect and love for her is not as good as before. He even hates her, thinking that it is her fault that caused all this.

Everyone lives in the village, so how could she not know what people are talking about her behind her back, what they say about her, and how her behavior and the words of the villagers will hurt the children.In fact, Shun Ren knew it, but how could she tell Cui Yingxiong that her mother had to do this because of life.I can't say this, because she is a mother, and her shame can't accept her saying this to her child.Therefore, she can only turn a blind eye to Cui Yingxiong's dissatisfaction, and only hope that her children can understand her. She tries her best to earn more money, get up early to get rid of debts, and make her life more normal.

Under such circumstances, Xin Ai, who knows the hardships in the world, accepted the task of enlightening Cui Yingxiong.She didn't tell Cui Yingxiong too much about Shun Ren's embarrassment, but just told him the debt she had learned from Shun Ren's mouth with great effort.At that time, although Cui Yingxiong hadn't gone to school, he still had a certain concept of numbers because his family ran a restaurant.It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, just convert it into Cui Yingxiong's favorite fried rice cake.Facing a series of terrifying zeros, Cui Yingxiong fell silent.What's more, there is a bottom line for obedience. At most, it can take advantage of words, and it is absolutely not acceptable to use hands and feet. If such a person does not need to be chased away by him, my mother will kick him out by herself.

By the way, Xin Ai also told Cui Yingxiong that if you want to get rid of this situation, you can't solve it by moving away, because Shun Ren has no education, no skills, and you can't find a good job when you leave here, and you can't support them and provide for them. I go to school, so even if I leave, it won't be long before my life will fall into what it is now.And the only way for them to get rid of this situation is to study hard, get into a good university, and then find a good job, so as to leave here and live the life of "upper class".

Cui Yingxiong listened to Xin Ai's words. With his observation year after year, he found that Xin Ai was right. Even if there are no debtors living in the village, they are still poor and struggling, and they are no better than their family. how much. "Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps", people bully him not only because he has no father, but more because these poor families want to find a sense of superiority in them.

Because of Cui Xinai's enlightenment, Cui Yingxiong stopped hating his mother and began to try to understand her.Therefore, although I am still angry with the words and deeds of the restaurant guests, I will no longer act recklessly, but will keep everything in my heart, turn my anger into a motivation to forge ahead, and study hard.

Koreans like to drink, because everyone is busy with work during the day, so most of the drinking time is at night.In the evening, invite some relatives, friends or colleagues to have a drink together.In this way, reduce the stress of life, and exchange information with friends, communicate with each other, and connect with each other.Those who have money go to high-end restaurants, bars, nightclubs and other places, and those who have no money go to roadside stalls and food stalls, even if they order a plate of cheap vegetables, they still have to drink a few cups.

In South Korea, a society where the concept of "men dominate outside and women dominate inside" still exists, if a man goes home at night and never goes out for a drink, people will look down on him after a long time, thinking that this person "has no ability" ", "The popularity is not good".Therefore, the busiest time for Shun Ren's restaurant was at night, and every time the guests would make noise until late at night, it would be two or three o'clock in the middle of the night every time Shun Ren finished cleaning up.In order to save a few dollars for vegetables, I had to get up early the next morning to go to the morning market to buy vegetables.Seeing Shun Ren's tired face, Xin Ai felt very distressed.

Xinai knows that Shun Ren's craftsmanship is average, and most of the customers who come to the store are villagers who live nearby, and they are not rich people. Therefore, the money earned in the store every month is not only for the three of them. Barely enough to pay the interest on the usury debt, and occasionally there is a surplus, and the debt with a relatively large principal is itself a drop in the bucket, which is useless.In this case, we must find another way to make money, otherwise, the debt will continue to grow and grow like a snowball, and she will go to school, and the family's expenses will increase. I'm about to pay it back.However, it is too difficult to come up with a money-making method that is in line with South Korea's national conditions and can be accepted by people in this area?
