"Now that the rain has finally come down refreshingly after 40 days, we must hurry before the ground hardens. Today, we finally borrowed a rotary tiller from the Jeju Agricultural Technology Center. However, the one we borrowed this time is a small model. Compared to the large one, it is less powerful and smaller, so the work will take much longer. But we have exactly two days! We must hurry." "Finally, we are entering our field!

My husband begins plowing the field with a small rotary tiller.

I also prepare to work with the brush cutter.

I tighten my grip on the brush cutter and start.

While the machine clears the wide area,

the narrow gaps and corners must be cleared manually.

My husband and I coordinate our movements from our respective spots to clear 6,800 pyeong."

The work keeps stopping because kudzu vines get tangled in the rotary tiller.

Then we clear the vines and get back to work.

Rotating two of the terraced fields took a really long time.

"I was working intensely right then and there,

when suddenly, my husband nudged me while I was mowing and told me to come over.

When I went to the rotary tiller, I saw something was wrong with the machine.

A critical part had come loose during the operation.

My husband must have thought he had caused a major accident for a moment.

His face turned pale.

With this small piece of equipment stopping, the two-day time limit loomed large, and I was left breathless." "It got stuck.

That night... I tossed and turned, unable to even eat dinner properly, worrying about what would happen if I ruined the field."

"Fortunately, I contacted the Jeju Agricultural Technology Center, and a technician rushed over right away.

He glanced at the part and casually said, 'This is a part that sometimes comes off due to vibration.'

The cause was so trivial, but for my husband and me, it felt like we had returned from hell.

Leaving behind that dizzying near-disaster, the rotary tiller started spinning vigorously again."

"It was a bit more work because it was a small piece of equipment, but thanks to my husband's rotary tiller, the overall framework was neatly established.

But you know, right?

There are corners and boundaries that the machine can never reach.

Since the field is so vast, mowing with the brush cutter is physically demanding.

Still, with the mindset that the spots the machine can't fill must be filled by hand, we kept mowing and mowing until the very end." "There is still a bit more brush cutting work left to achieve a perfect finish...

But still, I am taking a walk first across this vast 6,800-pyeong area with Coco and Ming now that the rotary tilling is finished.

The feeling of the soil underfoot is completely different from the hard asphalt roads we walk on every day.

Our children are especially excited and love this neatly organized Gwakji walking path.

Amidst this peaceful scenery, as beautiful as the sweat we shed,

the 6,800 pyeong continues to change little by little today.

Thank you for watching. Please look forward to the next story!"
