258 Father
"What's lucky?" Freeman asked.%d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3
"It's not lucky, I'll think about it." Hort frowned deeply, walked back and forth several times, suddenly stopped, and asked the old neighbor intently: "Listen, do I think it's right?"
"Okay." Freeman nodded.
"Idra and Grace were favored by the master at the same time, and they were going to be the master of the Baron and the parish."
"Yeah." Freeman nodded.
"Idra and Grace are gone, and the only one who can work in the old William's family is left with Master Los."
"Working" Freeman shook his head: "Master Loss has no need to work anymore."
"You're right." Hort didn't care about the old neighbor's rebuttal: "In this way, there is no more than a boy who can work in the old William's family."
"Then what? You're not thinking about the old William's family's share, are you?" Hort curled his lips: "Have you heard of it? Master Loss got back a lot of serfs. The number of people who have arrived now is more than your fingers!"
"What's the point!" Hort shook his head: "The old William's family has no boys who can work, and the old William's family, no no, no, the Akerley village, has no beekeepers and cowherds at once."
"Yes, alas." Freeman was a little worried: "Next year's honeycomb and summer mission will not be so relaxed."
"Hey!" Hort was so amused and crying: "What trouble do you think at this time! Think carefully: there are no beekeepers and cowherds in Akerry's village! There are no beekeepers and cowherds!"
"Yes, uh!" Freeman's eyes lit up: "Beekeeper and cowherd! You mean us!"
"Yes!" Hort nodded vigorously.
"Beekeeper and cowherd! Us! Us!" Freeman also began to pace excitedly. After more than ten seconds, Freeman calmed down: "Old William can do it by himself."
"When Idra and Grace were still alive, Old William was already helping with what you saw. Can he do it alone? Moreover, all the work in the field is his!"
"Master Los has a younger brother"
"Pavo who can only climb on the bed?"
"By the way" Freeman suddenly remembered another old neighbor: "Richard! Idra's wife's father!"
"Longcorn is already going out to be the dealer!"
"And Eli"
"Ten years old! Little Eli is only ten years old! It is not as tall as a plow truck, and it cannot carry honeycomb branches! And my Samana and your Rosso are already able to do all the work!" Hort quickly said: "Freman, don't think about being able to do these two good jobs forever. We only need two or three years! This is a beekeeper and a cowherd! Two or three years! Just work for two or three years! The children will have hope for the future!"
"You're right! Yes, you're right!" Freeman immediately began to circle excitedly again, and stopped again after more than ten seconds, showing bitterness on his face: "I almost got confused by you. This is the beekeeper and cowherd, Master Everett, and Master Playa, how could it be so easy to nod?"
"Yes." Hort nodded slowly.
"How is that possible!" Freeman sighed deeply: "You are confused by Richard's good luck? Mr. Loss is easy to speak for his son, and he doesn't even have to speak. The head of the village will help, but that's because Idra wants to marry Richard's daughter, Richard and Old William, and will soon be relatives! What about us? Why? Are old neighbors of Old William?"
"Of course it's not just the old neighbor!" Hort shook his head vigorously: "Do you remember? Old William, Old William is much older than the two of us."
"We should give some things to Old William, too," Hort continued, his voice a little low: "Samana and Rosso are easy to talk about, but you may not be willing to do so."

The next day.
After running around for almost half a month, Wu Qingchen woke up a little later than usual.
But it's fine.
Through the "wall hole", Wu Qingchen looked at the homemade sundial: Although time was a little tight, it would not make any mistakes.
After yawning, Wu Qingchen walked out of the cowherd's mansion.
Just as he opened the door, Wu Qingchen was a little surprised.
Outside the door, Old William, Freeman, Hort, and the second son of the two old neighbors were standing outside the door and talking in a low voice.
"Master Los"
Seeing Wu Qingchen and facing the direction of the house, the four of them quickly took off their hats and saluted.
"Loss" Old William turned around and waved to Wu Qingchen. When Wu Qingchen walked to his side, Old William pointed at the old neighbors: "If Freeman and Holt have something to do to make things convenient for you, try to help."
"Of course." Wu Qingchen smiled and looked around the four of them, nodding repeatedly.
Although he can't recognize sundials, based on experience, Hort also knew that Wu Qingchen didn't have much free time at this time.
"Master Los" Wu Qingchen agreed simply, and Hort gave up on the circle: "The master is favored, your brother has a good future and has a beekeeper and cowherd in Akerli Village. Do you have any arrangements?"
really!
“Beekeeper and cowherd”
Wu Qingchen pondered for a few seconds, and saw two old neighbors - especially their second son - Wu Qingchen immediately thought of the possibility of reminding the staff team.
However, whether it is Samana, Rosso, or the other sons of the old neighbors, these are slightly inferior to the core, but also quite high-quality human resources - in fact, let alone the sons of these two old neighbors, even themselves, have made arrangements in the next plan of the staff.
Sorry, two good neighbors, for the plan of the staff team and for the better future of your two sons, I have to let you down now
"That" Wu Qingchen looked puzzled and gave a speech that the staff team had prepared long ago: "In the past month, Teacher Playa has helped a lot: Idra and Grace's original positions, current positions, well, and Longcoen, and Little Eli's arrangements, you also know that these are all my brothers, relatives' affairs, and other things. It's really not easy to cause trouble for the teacher recently."
"cough"
Old William coughed: "Lose, think of a solution, Freeman and Holt, have you forgotten how much help you have helped our family before? That's when the ox was injured at home."
"Nothing is nothing!" Old Hot waved his hand quickly: "This is all right. William, you have helped us so much before, especially, whether I or Freeman, my father passed away long ago. If it weren't for William, you would have starved to death."
"It's been so long." Old William scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed: "What else do you say now?"
"Of course I have to say it!" Hort interrupted: "If it weren't for taking care of the two of us, William, how could you get married so late!"
"Yes!" Freeman also touched: "If it weren't for helping us, Pavo would have grown up long ago, and Idra's son might have been big."
"Now," Hort continued: "Edra and Grace are both going out to be masters, and Master Los will be a pastor in the future. Of course, this is very good, but you, William."
"Alas" Hawt and Freeman sighed at the same time.
Wu Qingchen understood this sigh.
It is indeed a great joy to be able to escape from heavy farm work and labor from now on.
However, out of the inherent understanding of the communication and transportation environment of the medieval world, the villagers think that after leaving Akerry's village, the two sons of old William may only return occasionally every few years. They must be in their respective villages when they get married and have children. The son of Los is also very capable, but he is a clergyman and obviously cannot get married. The last son can only climb now.
I am completely lonely in my later years.
——No matter from the perspective of the earth or the perspective of the medieval world, this is indeed not a happy thing.
so?
Wu Qingchen frowned slightly, thinking of something.
Sure enough, when Wu Qingchen glanced at Samana beside Hot and Rosso beside Freeman, Hot had already continued: "William, we owe you father, whether it is your previous care for us or what you have left behind because of this."
Sure enough!
My God! This is a gift to me with my brother!
Wu Qingchen frowned even deeper.
Wu Qingchen frowned, not because he had any objections to the old neighbor's idea.
In a social environment where apprentices have to be beaten and scolded for three or four years, changing a father is not as simple as calling him "godfather".
This means that the entire personal relationship, personal property, labor ownership, and future support obligations will be completely transferred from one family to another family, and will be fully entrusted to the hands of the nominal parent - Old William and the actual parent - Wu Qingchen.
In other words, the way Hort and Freeman gave their sons was indeed able to help Wu Qingchen more devotedly.
But Hort and Freeman themselves had almost no benefits, but instead lost two children who had worked so hard to raise until they were 15 or 6 years old.
As for the calculation of household separation, Wu Qingchen's current status and reputation, even if he casually recruits a child of seven or eight years old in Akerli Village, he would not have such naive thoughts.
With two more brothers who are absolutely in control, and they come from an old neighbor family who are already very close, Wu Qingchen certainly accepted it, but the problem is that this will obviously slightly disrupt the original manpower arrangement plan of the Staff Corps.
However, it's not a big deal, so it shouldn't be difficult to adjust
Old William also vaguely realized something. While he was stunned, Wu Qingchen was also extremely surprised, but his brain, which had begun to weigh the pros and cons, quickly figured out most of the joints.
There is only a little strange: Why do you specifically emphasize that you owe Old William a father to you? Is this a good person? According to Mr. Wu Qingchen, the top expert in the medieval world, even the medieval world, it doesn’t care about generations at all?
At this time, Hort and Freeman had finished speaking, and both of them pushed at the same time. Samana and Rosso walked in front of Old William and Wu Qingchen.
"What are you waiting for?" Hort and Freeman urged in unison.
The two of them finished speaking, and Samana and Rosso knelt down at the same time.
The two of them lowered their heads and shouted respectfully:
"Father."
The direction they kneeled down,
It was Wu Qingchen who was confused for a moment.
Chapter completed!
