Talent Absorption From the Age of 0

Chapter 169

Chapter 169 . Arrive in Africa (1)

After one stopover in Dubai, Eunwoo and her group arrived at Lusaka Airport, the capital of Zambia.

Eun-woo was exhausted from the long flight.

Baek Soo-hee was worried about Eun-woo and asked.

“Eunwoo, isn’t it hard?”

“Sleep and sleep.”

He wanted to straighten his legs, but the thought of seeing his younger brother gave Eun-woo strength.

Gil-dong said to Baek Soo-hee.

“But this is not an airport, but a bus terminal, isn’t it? Too small.”

“Still, there is an LG advertisement there. cheer up. LG! It is so good to see advertisements for Korean companies in foreign countries.”

Eunwoo felt strange listening to the two of them.

‘When I was in Padwa, I didn’t even know there was such a developed place in Africa, but Africa also had an airport. This place seems to be developed unlike the town I used to live in.

If I hadn’t been born as Eunwoo, I wouldn’t have come here.’

Gil-dong said to Baek Soo-hee.

“I’m hungry, is there any good food here? Just in case you didn’t know, I brought a lot of ramen.”

“I have to look for it. I brought a lot of seaweed and red pepper paste, just in case.”

A tall black man approached from afar.

“Father Taeseok Lee, this is Aben. I’ll drive you to camp.”

Gil-dong asked Baek Soo-hee.

“What are you talking about?”

“Oh, he said he took us to camp.”

Gildong nodded his head.

‘I was like that when I went to the US, but I don’t speak English, so it’s usually not uncomfortable. But Africans also speak English. Did you mean to study English?

Eunwoo seems to have a lot of overseas activities in the future, but when he returns to Korea, he will have to study in earnest. ’

Father Tae-seok Lee asked Aben.

“Can I buy a sim?”

“Go over there. Father.”

Aben led me to a place that sells SIMs.

“Are you in need of others?”

“it’s okay. We have been roaming.”

Baek Soo-hee and Gil-dong waited without buying a SIM because they had been roaming in Korea.

At a store that sells SIMs, Gil-dong looked at various things and said.

“They also sell candy and everything else. Is it a general store?”

Baek Soo-hee looked at things and answered.

“It’s like stepping back in a time machine back to the 60s. I don’t know because I wasn’t born, but I think it was like this in the 60s or 70s.”

Gildong nodded.

“I feel like I was in the 90s. why are you there That drama [Answer Series].”

Lee Tae-seok, who was listening, said.

“I think it is. Baek Soo-hee’s words would be closer. It’s like the 70’s. the building as well. But this is a city, so if you go into a small town, it will be different from here. It’s a smaller town where we’re going to serve.”

Baek Soo-hee asked.

“Mr. Gildong, when does Eunwoo filming start after we volunteered? Isn’t Eunwoo going to be working with the filming team in the future?”

“After this week. Then the film crew said they would send a car to where we were.”

Baek Soo-hee nodded her head.

Eunwoo looked at the snacks in the store.

‘There are a lot of snacks that I haven’t tried at Padwaile. At that time, it seemed that there would be no wish if I ate just that candy. Now, I have eaten a lot of delicious sweets in Korea.’

Eunwoo thought of other babies in the village.

‘Maybe there are a lot of babies like me in the village. I brought a lot of sweets from Korea, but I might not have enough, so I want to buy more.’

Eun-woo waved Baek Soo-hee’s hand.

“Snow.”

“Why?”

“What about the secret?”Eun-woo said into Baek Soo-hee’s ear.

“Buy more candy and sweeter.”

“What secret is that? Snow will buy you.”

Baek Soo-hee asked the clerk the price of the candy.

“How much is this candy?”

“Twenty kwacha.”

Baek Soo-hee quickly calculated the price in her head.

‘One dollar is about 14 kwacha, so it’s a little over a dollar. I think it’s a good price.’

Baek Soo-hee asked the clerk.

“Then give me two.”

Eun-woo heard Baek Soo-hee’s words and quietly waved Baek Soo-hee’s hand.

“Nunna, how about a secret?”

Baek Soo-hee put her ear to Eun-woo.

Eunwoo whispered and said.

“A Hundred Overview.”

“A hundred?”

Baek Soo-hee was surprised by the unexpected number of candies.

“Are you going to eat them all?”

“I’ll give you chinggus.”

Baek Soo-hee nodded her head at Eun-woo’s words.

‘If we go to camp, there may be hungry children.’

Baek Soo-hee said to the clerk.

“Give me a hundred.”

The clerk was surprised and excited by the unexpected number of candies.

“Let’s go to the warehouse for a second. I don’t know if there are a hundred, but are any other candies okay?”

“As long as the price is similar, that’s fine.”

The clerk stole all the candy from the warehouse.

“Okay, here are 100. I bought a lot, so I’ll give you a discount. If you subtract 200 kwacha from 2000 kwacha, you get 1800 kwacha.”

Aben, who was listening, came out.

“1500 kwacha. I am a local.”

The clerk said that Aben was annoyed.

“1600 Kwacha. No more discounts.”

Aven was adamant.

“The locals don’t buy 100 candies. I will go to another store to buy it.”

“okay. okay. 1500 kwacha.”

Baek Soo-hee paid 1500 kwacha.

The clerk distributed 100 candies in a bag and put them in a bag.

Everyone in the party took the candy and headed for the car.

Baek Soo-hee admired Aven’s bargaining skills.

“cool. Aben. If I had been alone, I would have just bought it.”

“In Africa, you can bargain unless the price is listed.”

Aben said, pointing his finger at the price tag on a passing shop.

“Does it say meat is 50 kwacha? I can’t cut that much. Still, if you know someone or buy a lot, you can shave about 3 kwacha. However, items that are not marked with a price must be cut. Especially if you are a foreigner, it is highly likely that you were ripped off.”

“i See.”

Baek Soo-hee nodded her head.

The party arrived at Aben’s car.

Gildong looked at the car and said.

“It looks like this car is over 20 years old. do you roll? Still, it’s our car.”

Tae-seok Lee replied.

“The cars that are not used in Korea come to Russia, Mongolia, and Africa. It’s a great car for this kind of car here.”

Baek Soo-hee admired Lee Tae-seok’s words.

“You don’t know anything about Africa.”

“Because I have been here for three years. Africa is a very sick place.”

Father Tae-seok Lee recalled his past years of service in Africa.

‘Children are dying from drinking dirty water. Children who cannot be saved without medicine. It was hard to meet those eyes.’

Aben sat in the driver’s seat and said to his party.

“From here we will have to drive another three hours to reach our destination [Kapora Mposi]. If you want to go to the bathroom in the middle, let me know.”

The car started running.

The car started to bounce, probably because there was a lot of gravel.

“Oh, my head.”

The tall Gildong banged his head against the ceiling every time the car bounced.

Father Tae-seok Lee said.

“It’s all dirt roads, so it’s very dusty. So it’s better not to leave the door open when the car is running. And if there is a handle next to it, hold it tight.”

Eun-woo’s car that rattled was rather interesting.

“Heh heh heh. Go Norigou.”

After running for about an hour, Baek Soo-hee said.

“I want to go to the Aven bathroom, can you park the car for me?”

Aben said as he stopped the car.

“Go to the bush over there and pack it. Here is toilet paper and water.”

“What about the bathroom?”

“There is nothing like that in Africa. Just go to the bushes and pack.”

“Yes?”

Baek Soo-hee stepped out with a crying expression. He said he would go with him if he was worried about Gil-dong.

Lee Tae-seok said it would be good for Eun-woo to urinate too, so everyone in the party got out of the car except for Aben.

As I approached the bushes, the smell of dung and urine stung my nostrils.

Eunwoo shuddered at the sweet scent he had not smelled in a long time.

‘Memories are very tricky. I used to smell like this all the time.’

Lee Tae-seok lowered Eun-woo’s pants and made him urinate.

“Our Eunwoo, shh. Shh.”

“Shh.”

Eunwoo’s urine fell to the floor in a small parabola.

Baek Soo-hee went a little deeper into the thicket.

“I’m afraid of stepping on the poop. here. It’s a shit minefield.”

Baek Soo-hee also urinated in the right place.

After Baek Soo-hee returned to the car, Lee Tae-seok and Kim Gil-dong also urinated.

Gil-dong asked Lee Tae-seok.

“Your bride is so wonderful. How did you serve in a place like this for three years?”

“Africa is an uncomfortable place. We have to let go of most of the convenience we enjoyed. But it’s all the same here. a place where people live There are many innocent people.”

“The bathroom is a bit shocking. When I was young, I went to my grandmother’s house and was surprised by the fuse-style toilet, but I think it’s worse than the fuse-style toilet.”

“You will soon be able to experience a fuse-style toilet.”

“Ugh.”

After finishing their chores, the group got back into the car.

Eun-woo’s heart fluttered at the thought of seeing his younger brother.

‘wait. Chemigisha. Padwa is here. After that long time, your brother Padwa came. Now we are no longer poor.’

Eun-woo was happy to be able to give his brother food to his heart’s content. He was thrilled to think of his younger brother who would be delighted to see the candy he bought near the airport and the sweets he brought from Korea.

‘Kemigisha, I’ll send you to school and buy you a good toy when you become a more famous star.’

The car arrived at [Kaporaumposi].

Aben said as he stopped the car.

“Im here.”

The group got out of the car.

Gildong said.

“It’s a really quiet town.”

At that time, a young man saw Eun-woo and his party and went and shouted.“Maqua.”

At the young man’s words, the villagers flocked.

Among the villagers there were also young babies the age of Eun-woo.

“Maqua.”

The babies looked at Eunwoo and cried.

Eunwoo felt strange.

‘I’m originally from here. You call me a traveler I am not a traveler.’

Aben answered in African.

“He’s a guest who came to help us. Not a traveler. Let’s go to church.”

Father Tae-seok Lee added an explanation for the party.

“There are 75 tribes in Zambia. All tribal languages are different, and the official language is English. When I go to the city, I speak a lot of English, but when I come to the countryside, I speak more of the tribal language.”

Baek Soo-hee said with a surprised expression.

“Then what do we do without the priest?”

Eunwoo thought.

‘I understand everything. I’ve lived here before. I can’t say that.’

Father Tae-seok Lee answered.

“There are people in town who can speak English. like Aven. Not all. Students who go to school learn English at school. However, even if they can speak English, they use tribal languages when they are with each other. It’s probably more comfortable.”

Gildong seemed to understand.

“It’s like a dialect. Dialect. I also have a friend from Gyeongsang-do, and in Seoul, he speaks Seoul, but when his mother calls, the tone of his voice changes drastically.”

At that time, a child came in, standing alone in the distance and looking at Eun-woo and the others in Eun-woo’s gaze.

‘Kemigisha.’

Five years had passed, but Eunwoo recognized Chemigisha at a glance.

‘You’ve grown a lot. Our Chemigisha. Thank you so much for being alive.’

Eunwoo slowly walked towards Chemigisha.

Kemi Gisha was looking at the Asian baby she had seen for the first time without taking her eyes off her as if curiously.

Tears flowed from Eunwoo’s eyes.

“Kemigisha.”

Chemie Gisha was surprised to see her first baby calling her name.

‘Who is it? How do you know me?’

Eunwoo’s small, white hand grabbed Chemigisha’s black, rough hand.

Eun-woo was so sad that he couldn’t say that he was his older brother.

‘Kemigisha. It’s me. Padwa. your brother Padwa. Padwa, who was looking for gold every day for you. I was always sorry that I couldn’t feed my stomach even if I worked all day. Our Chemigisha. grew up well really. You grew up well.’

Tears flowed nonstop from Eunwoo’s eyes.

Eunwoo hugged Chemigisha with a small body.

Eunwoo’s small head touched Chemigisha’s stomach.

Eun-woo, who was crying with Chemi Gisha, patted his little head and sang a song.

“Sleep well, my little brother, Chemigisha.

A star sings for you and a flower blooms for you.

Sleep well, my little brother, Chemigisha.

In my dreams, I’ll give you candy for you.

In our dreams, let’s eat meat together.

sorry. My little brother, Chemigisha.

I’ll make sure to feed you something delicious tomorrow.

I love you. My little brother, Chemigisha.
