52 Remember the taste(1/2)

"What?" Jacquelin, who had suddenly stood up, knocked over the water jug, and half of his body was soaked. The peasant woman who was over 40 years old but had gray hair was indecisive. She only stared at Wu Qingchen at the table and was narrating her experience: "You mean, the farming official has exempted the summer service at home this year?"

"Yes, this is what Mr. Vales himself said. This year's summer service, the family does not need to participate in it anymore, and..."

"William!"

Before Wu Qingchen finished speaking, the mother opposite had already screamed. Jacqueline grabbed her husband's arm with her eyes widened, her eyebrows bloomed, and every wrinkle on her forehead emitted a contradictory brilliance of extreme disbelief, but also extremely joyful at the same time: "William, have you heard it? The master said that he had waived the summer service at home this year, and there was no summer service this year!"

"Hiss...yes, yes..."

It was obvious that Jacqueline used a great force. Old William immediately grinned and replied in a hurry: "I heard, I heard... Hiss..."

"In other words, we don't have to go to the commons this year? Can we do our own work? Is this true? This summer, can we do our own work?"

"Hiss...really, really! Do whatever you want, work, work as you like, work as you like... Also, let go of me quickly, my hand is about to break! Hiss..."

While screaming and shaking his arms, Old William's twisted face could still show his smile, and his thin face was rosy.

"Okay, okay... Mother, sit down first, sit down first... Your clothes are wet, twist them quickly..." Idra, who sat on the other side, finally got up to help, half-pulled and half-pulled, finally brought Jacquelin back to the seat.

"Father, don't you have to go to the commons to work, so we don't have to pull the plow truck, or get up to cook peas at night..." Little Nina also walked over, and under her two black circles, there was hope and hope.

"No, no, no, no, no!... Haha, silly daughter..." Old William laughed: "The benefits are not that good. With more summer service, there are more time for summer service. In just over ten days, we can do a lot of things... Haven't you always want to eat cabbage and lettuce? In a few days, we can clean up the vegetable garden outside the house, add fences to it, loosen the soil, pick up soil by the river to accumulate some fertilizer, and then borrow some seeds from Uncle Richard's house. After a month or two, you can harvest the autumn at the latest..."

"Don't you often say that hens and goats often run around the house, making messy and steal food? Without going to the master's commons, we can ask for the manager's business, let's go to the forest to find some wood, and then build a large, beautiful livestock shed next to the wooden house. In the future, you pick eggs and milk, and you have to visit the next door... and..."

"And..." Idra, who held her mother, was also radiant and interrupted: "With these skills, we can harvest the grass we didn't have time to harvest a while ago. When the weather is still suitable, take advantage of the situation and prepare more winter food for your friends..."

"You can also clean up the house..." Grace pointed to the roof that was slowly dripping with water on his usual bed: "Clog all these damn places!"

“You can weed peas and green grass…”

"I finally have time to repair the ridges on the land by the river..."

"Maybe we can open up a small piece of wasteland..."

"Maybe..."

Next to the dining table, you talked and said, the family was clamoring, making various arrangements for the more than ten days of leisure that fell from the sky. The wooden house was full of enthusiasm and longing for the future.

Suddenly, half a month was added, and more than ten days of free time were completely a huge happiness that the farmer family, who had been working hard for years and had almost no rest throughout the year.

After years of accumulation, the heavy pressure of life that was so heavy that it was breathless, suddenly there was hope of elimination.

Leveling the vegetable garden, harvesting grass, weeding the wheat field, resting and recuperating the fields, opening up wasteland, and building livestock sheds...

The family members had more and more arrangements, the atmosphere at the dining table became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone's expressions became more and more excited, only Old William slowly frowned.

"But, if there are so many things..." Suddenly, Old William gently knocked on the table: "Maybe there is not enough time, right?"

The few people talking quietly, and Old William's voice was slightly worried when he heard the wooden house: "...After all, something happened to the cow at home. Although there was a little Loss curing his injuries, he still couldn't work for several days... I'm afraid that this place is a bit delayed, so it takes a few more days... In this case, you still have to think about the family's affairs and choose the most important thing to do first..."

A sigh of regret sounded from the wooden house.

"Oh..." "Yes, it's a pity..." "Reap the grass first..." "Damn the cowherd!"

"It doesn't matter……"

Wu Qingchen finally waited for the opportunity to interrupt: "The manager said that the oxen that belonged to the Baron Master in the village can go down to the ground with three oxen, but only suffered a little injury. The farming official asked me to cure these three oxen first. At the same time, these three oxen can also be lent to us to plow the fields first, for three days..."

"What did you say?" "Lend us?" "And there is this?" "Three oxen!"

The water tank that had just been lifted up on the dining table was once again affected. Two other seats next to it fell to the ground. Grace, who had fallen off the seat, opened his mouth wide and sat blankly on the ground. Old William, Jacquelin, and Idra stood up at the same time, and his six eyes shot out completely disbelief.

"Yes, these three oxen can lend us the fields to plow..."

"Oh my God! You're just talking about such an important thing now..."

I completely forgot that I had just arranged the summer service time and did not give Wu Qingchen a chance to speak. Old William, who was confirmed, was not only not happy, but was anxious. After a few seconds, he quickly grabbed Idra and Grace: "Idra, you go out now, go east, go find Wolf, Avilia, Tony, and Old Hot, and see if the plow trucks at their house have been borrowed..."

"Grace, go south and find Richard, Freeman, Iljos, Cree, and Kiren. They have all finished ploughing, and see if they can borrow a plow truck... Alas, it's so late... it's too late, it's definitely too late... Alas... it's too late... it's definitely too late... Alas... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too late... it's too

"No...no need to go..." Wu Qingchen quickly grabbed the two brothers who were quickly walking on their legs: "Wait first...wait a minute, listen to me!"

"Master Barres also said that he could lend us three plow trucks at the same time, as well as other tools needed, as well as the forage for the oxen for three days, and... In short, you can have everything, don't worry!"

This time, Wu Qingchen spoke quickly and said this series of words in one breath without leaving any gaps at all.

"This...this...this is...this is...me...me..."

Hearing this series of surprises, Old William was stunned and could not speak for a long time.

“…I’m really confused…”

After a long time, Old William finally shook his head and smiled: "...Master in charge, who is the farming official, how could such a mistake be made..."

While saying that, Old William gently stroked Wu Qingchen's shoulder: "Los, you can see that the man hopes a lot. You must manage the oxen in the village... Well... you will go to treat the oxen in the village early tomorrow morning. At that time, you will...you will..."

Speaking of this, Old William suddenly got stuck. "You" for a long time, but he couldn't say what he said after.

Frowning and pondering for a while, suddenly, Old William burst into laughter.

At this time, the middle-aged farmer who habitually wanted to give his younger son some instructions but could not think of specific content suddenly realized how redundant his thoughts were.

What are you instructed?

When the cowherd steals livestock, the family cows are injured, the family suddenly falls into danger, and the whole family is at a loss; when they run to the land early in the morning, people live in livestock, roll in the mud, and are sore all over; when they eat cold food, rush to rain, pull plow trucks, and don’t care about the days that follow...

He ordered Little Loss to find the priest? He ordered Little Loss to find herbs? He ordered Little Loss to treat the cows and directly relieve the difficulties from the root cause?

The farmer came to find Los and asked Los to try to treat other injured oxen in the village...

He also ordered Little Loss to relieve his family of Xia Shi? He ordered Little Loss to borrow oxen, borrow plough carts, and even get three days of forage at the same time?

What are you instructed?

Do you tell me how to treat the plowing ox?

It was at this time that Old William finally understood what Pastor Praia said before leaving.

Looking at the youngest son who was tilting his head in front of him, Old William looked complicated.

"...It's nothing, don't worry, go and treat it."

After a long time, Old William finally shook his head slowly and gently stroked Wu Qingchen's head. Old William smiled slightly: "Loss, my son, I am really lucky."

"Okay, let's do it for now, Idra, Grace, since you don't have to borrow a plow cart... Come on, come on, sit down..."

Hearing the sons, Old William pointed to the pocket on the dining table: "...Let's see what little Loss was given to us by the farming officer..."

This was the pocket that the farming officer threw to Wu Qingchen. After the men left, Old William began to ask about Wu Qingchen’s experience at night. He had no time to take it apart and kept throwing it on the dining table.

"Yeah...I'll take a look..."

Wu Qingchen was also a little curious and quickly opened the thin line at the pocket.

Fifty-two Remember this taste (Part 2)

"What is this?" The thin line was completely removed. Wu Qingchen opened his pocket, lowered the pocket mouth a little, and placed it on the dining table. The family members who came over immediately saw more than a dozen long strips, light yellow, palm-sized, and slightly bulging on both sides.

"What is this?" Grace frowned and looked at Idra next to him.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it before..." Idra shook her head, with a sympathetic and doubtful expression, and sniffed at the same time, "It seems to be something..."

"Is that..." Grace also sniffed, looked around, and quickly looked at the dining table again: "...Yes, it's a little smell..."

This smell is very light, slightly fragrant, and it smells quite comfortable.

Wu Qingchen gently pressed the top cut piece, and its surface was very soft, and a shallow indentation appeared when his fingers were placed on it.

"Huh..." It probably felt quite interesting, and little Nina laughed, followed Wu Qingchen's appearance, and stretched out her right hand to her open pocket.

"Don't touch!"

Old William's voice came from beside him.

The first time he saw things in his pocket clearly, Old William widened his eyes. It took a long time to finally come to his senses. Old William quickly grabbed the little Nina's outstretched arm and retracted it hard: "Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch like this!"

"Father, do you know this?"

"I know...how can I not know...How long has it been since the last time I saw this..."

Staring at the cuts in my pocket, Old William carefully stretched out his right hand and placed it half an arm away from the pocket. His low voice trembled slightly, with an undepressing feeling: "Master... I didn't expect that I could see this in my life... Children, remember what's in front of you, this is bread, the food of the men..."

"Bread?" Little Nina showed a doubtful expression: "Father, we have seen bread! Shouldn't bread be black and hard? Last month when I went to the church to pray for the summer, the pastor sent us a piece..."

"Such a big piece..." Little Nina couldn't help but lick her lips, "They tasted so good..."

"Yes, the rewards of the pastor Xia Prayer are indeed bread, but they are just black bread... and this..." Old William pointed to his pocket: "This is the real bread, the food of the man, the most wonderful food in the world..."

The most wonderful food in the world...

"They smell so good..." Little Nina leaned closer, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

The most wonderful food in the world...

Idra and Grace also stood closer, staring at the cuts in their pockets.

The most wonderful food in the world...

Wu Qingchen lowered his head and rolled his eyes involuntarily.

"Okay, okay, don't get so tight..." Old William turned his head and looked at Wu Qingchen: "Loss, how much do you want to eat?"

What does it mean to eat how much?
To be continued...
