Kidnapping All Mankind

Chapter 72: Long-lost smile

The sun is still a long way from the side of the mountain, and it was very early when the sky was getting dark.

Moving furniture, moving tools, moving farm tools, moving wheat straw, moving hay, moving peas, moving soybeans, cleaning the room, breaking through walls ...

There were dozens of unsolicited "enthusiastic" villagers to help, and the time for Wu Qingchen's house cleaning and cleaning to complete completely was much earlier than the old William originally expected.

However, at this time, the old William had long since had no time to take advantage of his spare time, and hurriedly went to the whole house next to the big house, the cabbage and the pea field idea.

Where do you care about those now?

There is too much hay delivered to the door. Although the enthusiastic "villages" helped to the end, they all moved into a big new barn-no wonder the original cattle ranch wanted to build such a large barn-but just now There are many hands and people, and in a chaotic situation, hay bales piled up in a mess may collapse at any time.

However, looking at the huge livestock barn and the huge haystack that occupies nearly half of the barn, look back at the remaining half of the space. There is a farming cow, a cow, three goats, and five chickens. , Two geese, as empty as you see, will not cause people to worry that the hay will hit the animals.

With so much hay, with these few livestock, when should we eat? ——Old William never expected that he would worry about such a problem.

It seems that although this trouble will definitely take a lot of time, it is not the most important thing at present.

At present, the most important thing is the large amount of peas and soybeans received. These things are not as good as wheat kernels. They always come to troublesome things: hot weather is easy to odor, cold weather is easy to sprout, and the weather is not cold or hot. Began to grow bugs ...

While it's still too late, quickly divide them up, pack the well-preserved soybeans and peas into different clay pots, and seal the peeled soybeans and peas without pods. Pick them up and eat them quickly .

This is a very meticulous job, and it is absolutely impossible to give it to the serfs for help-serfs will only make more defective products-old William can once again foresee that, except for the rest of today, recently because of borrowing farmland It is estimated that more than half of the effort saved from this effort must be spent on it.

And it will bring another problem that old William had never thought of: how can I eat so many peeled soybeans and peas without pods?

Too much hay that cannot be eaten by livestock, too many beans that must be eaten quickly, these are really two happy troubles.

Oh! beans! There are a lot of beans spilling out of the house!

When old William quickly ran out of a basket to pick up beans, the last sweep of the new house was over, and the last few "enthusiastic" villagers had left. Wu Qingchen counted the serfs and was ready to return them to the steward.

Leading the serfs down the path, after passing a small bend, Wu Qingchen turned his head inadvertently, and suddenly found that Nina was squatting on the edge of the flat in front of her new home, while helping her father pick up beans, she looked forward to herself .

Hey, there are so many things to do today, I almost forgot one!

Wu Qingchen patted his back gently and turned and shouted to his father, "Father ... please tell your mother that everyone has been too tired recently, put some flour for dinner."

Little Nina smiled all over her eyebrows.

"Ah ..." Old William stood up with a handful of peas. "I have been eating for several days ... I haven't done much work today, so I don't need it?"

"It's okay, okay ..." Wu Qingchen hurriedly showed his father "this is definitely my wish" and "please accept it": "If I hadn't had to clean the house, I could have done more work today. ...... Eat more at night, and make up for the delay tomorrow! "

From the perspective of the earth, on the premise that Wu Qingchen is full, trying to improve the physical fitness and social status of the closest family members in the Middle Ages and the defenders of natural common interests is the basic strategy recommended by the staff for long-term adherence.

From Wu Qingchen's point of view, since living together for more than a month, they are limited by poor supplies. Although the family in the Middle Ages could not provide themselves with a real meal, both fathers and brothers, when they were working, Always take care of yourself as much as possible, and always give the greatest tolerance when you do all kinds of behaviors that must be inexplicable in their eyes.

Wu Qingchen believes that, even if it is the Middle Ages, even if it is changed to earth, such a family is absolutely qualified!

Treating such a family, if you can eat the birds, beasts, fishes and insects of the old man to supplement the nutrition, the extra flour is still hidden, and you can save it by cutting ...

that,

also,

call,

people,

?

"That's it, father! It doesn't matter if you put more ..." So Wu Qingchen turned around and led the serfs down the ramp.

"But ..." Old William opened his mouth again. There were many "but" in his heart, but none of them could be said.

What should I say after "but"?

Could it be that this is the flour that Lord Baron named to reward Los, and it is a valuable property belonging to Los personally? ——However, Los never cared about his own property. The white bread that was awarded by the master of the farmer last time was distributed to the whole family as soon as he took it home. Last time, the masters just rewarded this big house. Los first sentence I just asked if I could bring my family together.

Could it be said that it is too wasteful to eat the finest food directly? You should find a chance to give it to the master steward or the pastor master to make the position of the burdock more stable? ——But the master priest and priest have already loved Ros enough. Even a house of this size is directly rewarded. Do they still care about such a little flour?

Could it be said that flour can be stored for a long time, and should be left to eat when it is really difficult? ——It has become a burdock. Will there be any difficult times in the future?

Could it be said that the family is worried that some of the beans that are not well kept cannot be eaten, and should not be more wasteful? -This is indeed a good statement.

It's just that even 14-year-old Los knows to take care of his family everywhere, has he lived for so many years, but has forgotten that his brothers and old neighbors still have a hard time?

Wu Qingchen / Loss has led the serfs out of the old place. The old William "but" failed to say anything. He silently picked up half a basket of peas and soybeans, and the old William slowly entered the new residence.

The orange sunlight pours in along the holes just cut out, and sends in a fragrant fragrance accompanied by earth.

The thoroughly cleaned wooden house is no longer dim, nor is the rotten smell that always radiates.

Close to the wall, next to a "large wall hole" deliberately cut out, is the location of Moore's new kitchen.

On the side of the "kitchen", the rising smoke drifted out of the house along the "wall hole". His wife, who was waiting for the fire pond, no longer rubbed her eyes while coughing, and her face did not have the dark mottled smoke marks.

"Oh ..." William walked over to his wife and passed the basket in his hand. "Do this tonight."

"Ok……"

"Add some more flour."

"Huh?" The wife was a little surprised, and looked at the basket she just took. "There are so many beans already, do you still put flour?"

"Well, let it go ... Los must put it, that child you know ..." Old William paused and relieved, "Relax, you have seen the fun in the afternoon, we will definitely not worry about it in the future of……"

"Ok."

The wife nodded, clapped her hands and walked to the bed. She lay down and pushed away several stools and wooden barrels, and then pulled out a large basket from the depths.

Carefully unpacking the flour bag in the large basket, the wife carefully scooped a small bowl of flour.

"Is this okay?"

"More points."

The wife nodded again, and carefully took another thin layer.

After adding this, she no longer asked William, and tied the flour bag again, then pushed the large basket, wooden bench, and round table all under the bed, and restored everything to its original state.

His wife's movements were smooth and smooth, just like when they were just married.

However, through the sunlight through the "wall hole", Old William looked very clearly. His wife's eyes were sunken, his lips were dry, and his forehead was engraved with deep wrinkles. The only thing that was really the same as before was only her hanging at the moment. At the corner of the mouth, a relaxed and cheerful smile.

How many years?

How many years has my wife never smiled so joyfully? How many years have I not been so calm, and I don't have to worry about watching her?

When "Old William" is still "William", such a smile is often there.

When "William" became "father", such a smile was much less.

When a person named "father" changes from one to several people, such a smile becomes difficult to appear.

When "Old William" became "a **** who couldn't take care of his own cow and had to come to trouble", the face that had long been tortured by life was covered with tears.

What a terrible night it was!

Hurt cattle, sorrow, cry, pain, surprise, sigh ...

What a terrible day!

High winds, heavy rain, heavy plowing, struggles, bloodstains, blades ...

The destruction of a family is almost within reach.

At that time, who would have thought that the William / Moore family would actually have a child loved by a priest, who could learn the technique of treating cattle farming, could actually get the appreciation of the baron, and could become a burdock. Such a large and sturdy house!

Of course, old William understands his wife's ease and joy: Needless to say the food brought by Roth, the summer camp, the borrowed cattle ...

This big house alone eliminates the events that have weighed heavily on his wife over the past few years: Idra, Jacqueline, and Grace have grown up and are about to get married. The original wooden houses were small and coercive, and it was impossible to live more people. The busy farm labors also prevented the men at home from taking the time to build new wooden houses.

Well now, I lived in this big house and I was able to hold a wedding there. No matter what the villagers, even the craftsmen, can no longer complain. ——The Niu Dai family was originally the top craftsman in the village.

Of course, this big house must belong to Los only.

Both William and his wife knew their sons well, and they would only be grateful to be able to live here, and there would be absolutely no extra greed. What's more, with enough time and heavy burden of cultivating cattle, how many more wooden houses to build?

Looking at the long-lost smile on his wife's face, imagining the happy future of the sons ...

If you think about the series of ups and downs in the past dozens of days and nights, the corners of Old William's eyes are sore:

"Cassie ... you worked hard all these years."
