There used to be a wheat field that went on forever.


"For more than eighty years, we've been together. We used to live in the same neighborhood."

- So you were childhood friends?

"Yes. It's been 61 years since we got married. We used to play together when we were little. But although we were neighbors, I married him because someone recommended. 

Those days, it was embarrassing just to walk together, side by side. Back home, there used to be a wheat field that went on forever, but we used to walk apart from each other, with a certain distance between us. We never walked together, did we? Even now, we don't hold hands... Nowadays, look at everyone. We were never like those couples."
