[Comprehensive Korean Drama] "Core" Life

Xinai came home from vacation, and when eating, Yin's mother made a lot of delicious food, which made Xinai feast on her mouth.After the meal, the family sat in the living room and chatted. Yin's father asked Xin Ai about her situation in school with concern. Xin Ai answered them one by one. Yin's mother sat beside Yin's father with a smile on her face. harmonious.

What surprised Xin Ai was that Yin Junxi also sat aside and listened quietly.Although Xin Ai and Yin Junxi put on the appearance of brothers and sisters in front of Yin's father and Yin's mother, the relationship between the two is actually very tense.Yin Junxi thinks that Xin Ai is the culprit who caused them to separate from Enxi. He admits that Enxi is the only younger sister, so the appearance of Xin Ai and Yin's father and mother getting along happily is dazzling. So in the past, even if Yin's father and Yin His mother asked him to, but he always found excuses to avoid it, so he wouldn't sit here.Perhaps it was warned by Yin's father, or there may be other reasons. Although Yin Junxi was unhappy, he didn't come out to spoil the atmosphere, he just avoided it.

Yin Junxi, who had always avoided things about Xin Ai before, suddenly behaved abnormally, which inevitably made Xin Ai full of suspicion, and always felt that Yin Junxi should be thinking about something.After the chat, everyone dispersed. Xin Ai was about to open the door and go back to the room when Yin Junxi stopped her from behind and asked anxiously: "Xin Ai, why, why didn't Enxi reply me? I wrote several letters to her , she didn't answer any of them, why?"

Hearing this, Xin Ai rolled her eyes and knew that there was a reason for Yin Junxi's abnormality. Sure enough, as expected and as she thought, it was still related to Enxi. "How would I know the reason? I'm not Enxi, how could I know what she was thinking, why didn't I write back to you? Don't you think I'm asking the wrong person when you ask me?"

After hearing this, Yin Junxi was greatly shocked, and said disappointedly: "You don't know? How could you not know?" Yin Junxi looked at Xin Ai suspiciously, a little bit disbelieving her words.Could it be that you knew it but refused to tell me?

Xinai sighed helplessly. "Why would I know? When did I give you the impression that I know everything and you think I must know? I don't have to lie about it, I really don't. You use your toes If you think about it, you can understand, what happened to me in the United States and South Korea, I know nothing about it like you, how can I know what happened there?"

"Why don't you know?" Yin Junxi was very annoyed, he scratched his head anxiously, full of worry. "I don't believe that Enxi will not reply to my letter, Enxi, something must have happened to Enxi." Yin Junxi speculated, it was conjecture at first, but the more he thought about it, the more it happened, and he said with certainty: "Yes, Enxi Xi, something must have happened, that's why she couldn't reply to my letter."

"Xinai, give me the phone number of Enxi's home. I want to call and ask what happened to Enxi." Now that he has an affirmative answer, Yin Junxi hurriedly said to Xinai.

"There is no phone." Xinai said impatiently: "Cui's family does not have a phone. If there is a phone, I will write it to you when I wrote the address to you last time."

Without a phone, it means that there is no way to communicate by phone. If you write a letter, Enxi will not reply to him for no reason.Yin Junxi had no other choice, he didn't know how to get the news about Enxi, and he couldn't get an answer from Xinai, so he left with his head drooping.

Watching Yin Junxi suddenly transform into a melancholy and beautiful boy, Xin's heart moved, hesitating again and again, the words came to his lips, but finally swallowed them back.Originally, she speculated that perhaps the high international postage was the reason why Enxi did not reply.But thinking about it, it's not possible. The Cui family is not in such a difficult situation. Maybe they can't afford the frequent communication costs, but if they only write a reply, it's still possible. Enxi didn't reply to a single letter, obviously it wasn't because of this. .So why, Xin Ai can't guess.

Spending the weekend at home, on Sunday afternoon, Xinai packed up her things and prepared to go back to school.Yin's mother took a pack of snacks to Xinai and asked her to take them to school to eat. "Even if there are activities in school next weekend, you have to ask for leave to come back. On that day, your father will invite friends from the United States to visit at home, and you must attend."

"Well, I see." Xin Ai nodded.Although the school has holidays every weekend, Xin Ai does not come back every weekend.When she didn't come back, she would report to Yin's father and Yin's mother on the pretext that there were activities in the school, so Yin's mother said so.

Father Yin's treat this time is all Koreans.Among these people are not only his friends, but also many people he doesn't know.These unfamiliar strangers have all lived in the United States for many years. They are either first-class experts in their professional fields, or executives of the companies they work for... Anyway, they are all successful people with successful careers.

Xin Ai stood behind Yin Junxi, followed Yin's father and Yin's mother, and stood at the door to welcome the guests.This kind of gathering, everyone gathers together, and children are also a talking point.As the host's children, Yin Junxi and Xin Ai will inevitably be questioned by visitors. When the guests heard that Xin Ai was studying in a boarding school, they were stunned.

In South Korea, under normal circumstances, only when there is no one to take care of the child at home, or the child is stubborn and uneducated, or the parents have a bad impression of the child...that's why they think of sending the child to a boarding school.Although this is the United States, as Koreans, if they can follow Korean traditions, they will never violate it.

Yin's mother didn't go out to work, she was a housewife at home, and she was fully capable of taking care of her children. Moreover, the Yin family had just come to the United States, and it was not the kind that had lived in the United States for several generations. It could not be said that they were assimilated by the United States, so they sent Xin Ai to a boarding college. The reason is unavoidably a bit interesting, and the eyes that bet on the Yin family are unavoidably a little weird.But this involves the privacy of the host's family. As guests, it is not easy for them to ask the reason without the host not taking the initiative to explain.

It's just that there are always some people who don't know people and don't open their eyes. After listening to Mother Yin's introduction that Xinai is studying in the boarding college, a middle-aged woman with a long face covered her mouth and giggled like an old hen. "Oh, Mrs. Yin, can't you, you can't even take care of two children?" It seems that sending your daughter to a boarding school is not because you can't take care of it, so is it?

Before Yin's father and Yin's mother could speak, the horse-faced woman looked Xin Ai up and down, shook her head vigorously and said, "Tsk tsk, Professor Yin, Mrs. Yin, I think your daughter looks pretty cute, you just like this A daughter, no matter how spoiled she is, how can you be willing to send her to a boarding school?"

Professor Yin calmly said a number, which was the score of the Xinai test at that time, and then said with a smile: "Originally, Xinai did so well in the test, it is entirely possible to go to Mianjos Middle School, just because the school is in New Hampshire, far away from the school. New York is far away, and my wife and I are reluctant. When Xinai took the exam, I had already restricted her to apply for the middle school near New York, so Xinai had no choice but to choose to enroll in Chocres Girls Church Middle School, although it was a boarding school. , but there is no way around it, Xin Ai has already made a big concession, my wife and I can't delay her because of outsiders' gossip." We can't let her go to a worse middle school in order not to board.

Professor Yin's words caused an uproar among the guests.Mianjos Middle School ranks in the top three middle schools in the United States. Although Chocrese Girls’ Church High School is a little worse than Mianjos, it is also in the top ten in the United States. It is more difficult to test because it has the lowest acceptance rate of foreign students among the top twenty middle schools.Entering these two schools is basically equivalent to getting an entry pass to a prestigious university.

As a foreigner who has just arrived in the United States, language is the biggest difficulty.Even if the language problem is overcome, very few of them can be admitted to a good middle school. The reason is not only the problem of academic performance, but also because of the cultural differences between the two countries. Preparations, such as various materials, performance in social activities, self-introduction, ... can't cut into the key points of the interview well.

This requires a process of adaptation, which will take at least two or three years. Therefore, among the young international students, there is often such a problem, that is, the middle school is not a prestigious school, but they are finally admitted to a well-known university.This situation is common among those who study in the United States.

Mother Yin went back to the room and took out Xin Ai's transcript and the admission notice at that time, and showed it to the guests, "Xin Ai went to several middle schools for interviews, and was finally admitted."

Yin's mother reported the schools one by one, all of which are relatively good middle schools in the United States, and said politely: "Guests here, if there are children in the family who want to be admitted to these schools, if you have any questions, you can ask our family Xinai, she I have participated in the interviews of these schools, so I should know a little about this, and maybe it will help them to get into middle school."

The guests present were about the same age as Yin's father and Yin's mother, and their children were about the same age as Yin Junxi and Xin Ai, so many of them were going to enter middle school. When Yin's mother said this, they quickly agreed with smiles on their faces.Even if I came to live in the United States a long time ago, I am not sure that I can be admitted to these schools. If I can learn some interview information from Xinai, it may increase the chance of admission. Even if this kind of thing is one in ten thousand Opportunities, parents will not let go.

Seeing this situation, the horse-faced woman was not happy, and said angrily: "Hey, why don't you go to Mianjos School, and choose Chocres because it is close to home. It sounds good, but it's actually because Joe Cross's tuition is cheap."

Yin's father and Yin's mother glanced at each other, complaining to each other, who invited this person here, she is not here to be a guest, but to spoil things, right?The two decided in their hearts to remove the horse-faced woman from the Yin family's future invitation list.

The tuition fees of missionary schools are cheaper than those of other schools, even as cheap as half.This is a fact that everyone here knows, but what the horse-faced woman said did not arouse their approval, not only because everyone is a guest at the Yin's house, and it is not easy to offend the master, but because the Yin's family is not short of money at all. Professor Yin is a well-known painter, the value of one of his paintings, and his salary as a professor at New York University alone can satisfy his family to live a very rich upper-class life.

Although the horse-faced woman's words did not cause any waves, they did destroy the atmosphere.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, without speaking, and the room fell into silence for a moment.At this embarrassing moment, Father Yin's best friend, Mr. Shin, came forward to smooth things over: "I propose to invite Ms. Jiang Mixi, a famous pianist in the Republic of Korea, to play a piece for us. Would you like it?"

Someone came forward to smooth things over, and everyone naturally accepted and expressed their approval.Jiang Meixi was not polite, she stood up, walked to the piano, lifted the cover of the piano, and started playing.All in all, although the Yin family's banquet had some discordant notes, it ended successfully in the end.

After returning to school, Xin Ai originally planned not to go home next week, but Yin's mother called and asked her to go back this weekend, because Yin's father's brother was coming to the United States, and she wanted to go back to visit this uncle.Because only a few days after Xin Ai was taken back to Yin’s family, the whole family came to the United States. Except for Yin’s father, Yin’s mother and Yin Junxi, Xin’ai has never seen anyone else in Yin’s family. Usually, Yin’s father and Yin’s mother don’t mention it. It was the first time she met relatives of the Yin family.

On the weekend, Xinai came home. After opening the door, she saw a pair of father and son sitting in the living room, who seemed to be carved out of a mold. It was just the charm of a mature man's success in that middle-aged man who was about the same age as Yin's father. It was incomparable to the youthful teenagers on the side.

Seeing Xinai coming back, Father Yin hurriedly introduced to her: "Xinai, this is my brother, your uncle." Pointing to the boy on the other side, "This is your uncle's son, your brother. His name is Yin Xiangze."

Xin Ai hurriedly called someone obediently, then sat aside and listened quietly to Yin's father and his brother talking.From their conversation, Xinai heard that Yin Xiangze's father sent his son to study in the United States.I heard Yin's father assured his brother that Yin Xiangze lives in his own house, and he will take good care of him, so please don't worry.When Yin's father was talking to his elder brother, as a new member of the Yin family, Yin Xiangze who was on the side couldn't make a sound, just looked down at his fingers in a daze.The sunlight shone obliquely on his body through the glass, the long, curled eyelashes seemed to have a golden light, and Xinai couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

Xin Ai has never heard of this uncle, and it is understandable, but when Yin Junxi heard the introduction of Yin's father, he was taken aback for a moment, and then called someone. The attitude he showed was not familiar with this uncle, which made Xin Ai very strange .Because Yin's father said that he and Yin Xiangze's father are brothers.In this case, judging from Yin Junxi's performance, the Yin family and uncle's family do not move around frequently, but if the relationship between the two families is not close, Yin Xiangze and his son will not come to the house. At that time, Yin Junxi did not follow, which means that Yin's father, Yin's mother and this elder brother are still unfamiliar with each other because of certain things. Why is that?

Yin Xiangze's father seemed very busy. He left the United States after entrusting Yin Xiangze to Yin's father and Yin's mother.Originally, Yin Xiangze's father meant that he hoped that his son would live in his younger brother's house and be taken care of by his younger brother and sister-in-law. He was at ease, but Yin Xiangze obviously had no intention of becoming a new member of the Yin family, and he refused to follow his father's arrangement.Yin Xiangze's family has his own house in the United States. After he hired part-time workers to clean it, he insisted on moving there despite the opposition and persuasion of Yin's father and mother.

Faced with Yin Xiangze's insistence, Yin's father and Yin's mother had no choice but to let Yin Xiangze live alone.In the end, both sides took a step back, and Yin Xiangze's father bought the house next to the Yin family's villa. Yin Xiangze moved in and became neighbors with the Yin family.

After helping Yin Xiangze move, Yin's father and Yin's mother returned home. Yin's father shook his head and sighed: "Oh, this kid Xiangze has the same temperament as the elder brother. He made up his mind and didn't listen to anyone. When the elder brother graduated from university, When he refused to work hard and insisted on going to play music, his father became furious and threatened to drive him out of the house, but he didn't change his mind. These two fathers and sons are facing each other, and some will have trouble in the future."

"It's not the elder brother's fault. He obviously married his sister-in-law, but he didn't abide by the promise of marriage. He hooked up with the starlets under his company outside, but the elder brother didn't hide it in front of his sister-in-law. My sister-in-law loves my elder brother so much. Enduring it desperately, but the eldest brother divorced his sister-in-law, Xiangze watched his sister-in-law suffer since he was a child, it is only natural that he is dissatisfied with his elder brother."

Back then, Yin Xiangze's father did not go to work after graduating from university, but went to sing instead.Yin Xiangze's conservative grandfather couldn't accept his son not doing serious things, but instead became an actor to entertain the public.In order to get Yin Xiangze's father back on the right path, Yin Xiangze's grandfather took many measures, and even published a statement in the newspaper that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship with Yin Xiangze's father, but Yin Xiangze's father did not let Yin Xiangze's father give up and come back to admit his mistake.

Yin Xiangze's father sang songs for several years, and gradually moved behind the scenes.While working behind the scenes, Yin Xiangze's father became interested in recording TV programs. He wanted to own a TV station and record his favorite programs for audiences to watch.For this reason, Yin's father bowed his head to his father without hesitation, hoping to get his support.But although the Yin family is rich, the Yin family has never been involved in the affairs of the TV station.

In this regard, the Yin family has no advantage at all. Yin Xiangze's father needs to start from scratch. The problem facing Yin Xiangze's father is that it is difficult for him to own an independent TV station.Faced with a large number of TV channels, the South Korean government has made it clear that it will not approve new TV stations. If you want to own them, you have no choice but to buy them. However, companies that own TV stations will not sell their core business.

When Yin Xiangze's father was at a loss, he met Yin Xiangze's mother.Yin Xiangze's mother is an only child, and her family has a small TV station, so Yin Xiangze's father rejected the marriage partner proposed by his father, and approached Yin Xiangze's mother purposefully.Soon, the tall and handsome Yin Xiangze's father made Yin Xiangze's mother fall in love with him, accepted his proposal and married him.

After Yin Xiangze's mother gave birth to an heir, Yin Xiangze's father had already infiltrated his wife's family TV station and successfully owned the leadership of the TV station.Afterwards, he began to snub his wife, had a heated fight with the stars on the TV station, and had affairs one after another.

Father Yin couldn't see his elder brother's behavior, but his elder brother who couldn't even listen to his father's words was even less likely to listen to his words. The soft-spoken father Yin could only keep silent.Yin's mother despised Yin Xiangze's father's behavior and sympathized with her sister-in-law's experience, but as a sister-in-law, she was even more difficult to speak, and there was no room for her to speak.In the end, after his brother abandoned his wife and chose to divorce his wife, facing his brother's outrageous behavior, the two moved out of Seoul because of their outrageous behavior. They are usually ashamed to mention that he has such a brother.In order to fear that the two children would be taught badly by their uncle, the husband and wife basically did not bring their children when they visited Yin Xiangze's house.

Xin Ai pieced together the occasional words from Yin's father and Yin's mother, and the information from Yin Junxi and Yin Xiangze, and put together the whole story of Yin Xiangze's family.She deeply sympathized with what happened to Yin Xiangze.Looking at Yin's father and Yin's mother, and thinking of Yin Xiangze's father, she couldn't help but think, is it really the so-called "not being a family, not entering a family", from a certain point of view, everyone in the Yin family is a scum!
