14 To the world of far! (2)
It is commonly said that autumn is the season to read
Not too hot, and not too cold
Is it because it’s good to read outdoors in the cool autuluttony
Is it called that because there are many festivals in autunify gluttony as the reward for our hard work in the summer heat?
I can answer that
Because of one simple reason
The reason why autumn is the season to read
The reason why autuluttony
It’s because!
“Autumn is harvest season!”
“Sheeson!”
Atpotatoes with dextrous flicks of her wrists suddenly juh she was copying the metal bat, it’s fine this time because she’s cute!
“Yes, that’s how it is Everything that happens in autumn is because it is related to this harvest”
“Harvest time, best time!”
Ellis made a noise of exertion as she stretched out her spine, and went back to her potatoes
Even though she’s a child, Ellis is already a veteran farmer!
The ly crawled out of the garden and into her hands on their own
“And of you want to do so you need to sow the seeds, and the sue war on the weeds So there is no time to read books or to eat!”
“I hate weeds……”
Ellis pouted as she channeled her resentment for weeds into her hoe
The speed which potatoes caot faster
Weeds are powerful
To a beginner farrass, but weeds stick their heads out from absolutely everywhere
Day, after day, after day, after day
Every time their heads were taken and uprooted whole, but the next day they would show themselves in a different area
There is no end to the war against weeds
They appear anywhere, and exist anywhere
The only ti happens
And that’s not even a permanent end either
It’s simply a ceasefire until next year!
“Wait, that’s not the point”
“Dad, your hands are slow It’s fine to talk, but keep working!”
I was being scolded byup et things done on a full sto is only possible with food They say books are food for the mind, but they do not fill the belly”
“Books are boring Far is hter
“But in order for it to be called the season of gluttony, there needs to be things to eat If you’re hungry, you are not being a glutton, but si to eat”
“And so autu, Dad?”
“Yes I airl lifted her head up
In her eyes were traces of disdain
“Then get to work”
My daughter pointed once at the potatoes she dug up, then once at the potatoes I had dug up
There was almost twice as many in her pile compared to mine
“Sorry”
“You said that last tihed like a fare
“Dad was the one who said that we needed to harvest at least half in order for there to be no problems with our plans”
“Yes!”
The speed of the hoe in my hand intensified
“We need to finished the potatoes within the week, and harvest the corn and wheat as well”
“Ye, yes we do!”
“I worked hard even while I was talking with Dad so why did Dad not do any hile you talked?”
“I’ll do hter
This is si up potatoes even while saying so, her talents as a farmer that already surpassed et on with it!”
“Yes!”
Thuround echoed throughout the field with no
Yes, this is the harvest season
But soon the winter, the season of cold will be upon us
Winter is cold I don’t wanna go out
In order to not go out one must prepare firewood and food in advance
Autus that need to be prepared it wouldn’t be strange to call it the season of preparation
“To think I’d have to prepare for winter here, too”
I thought I’d never have to prepare for winter after I was discharged from the military
“It’s hard for us if we don’t prepare for winter It was hard for us last year too because we didn’t have enough firewood”
“It’s not like we didn’t have enough firewood……”
“No! We didn’t have enough! We didn’t have enough firewood just because we had roast potatoes and roast sweet potatoes(1) a few tih firewood for the roast potatoes and sweet potatoes we’re going to be cooking during winter, too!”
My little sweeties was increasingdesire for food Just where had she picked up these bad habits?
-Winter firewood? Thewith th’ stuff, wazzitsis!
Of course there’d only be one
There were no traces of anyone tracking us anyway, and the metal bat was extremely unhelpful in childcare to the point where I considered sealing it in the shed
“Alright Then in order to do that, we need to harvest all the potatoes by the end of today”
“Mm!”
When two experienced far for the wooden box to fill up with potatoes
“There we go, that’s today’s quota done!”
“Oie done~”
My little girl going ‘oie’ as she clutched her back and leaned backwards looked very dependable
“Then the proht, today… is chicken!”
“Sniffle…… I’lad to be alive”
Ellis likes fried chicken very, very much, to the point where I wondered if she had any Korean blood in her(2)
I wanted to cook up a chicken a day for her, but for the sake of her future, it was still too early for Ellis because she was in her growth period
“Alright, now should we go put our potatoes away in the shed and go out to the village to buy chickens?”
“M sis’ll be happy we’re done early, too!”
Tch, I could have spent sohter for the first tihter wanted to bring that da with us as well
“I suppose we should”
“M after the house every day! Being alone is boring!”
“Ellis is a good girl”
“Mirl!”
I unconsciously pat Ellis’s head with otten angry that their hair was dirtied, but as a brilliant farmer already, Ellis was at MAX affinity with the earth and sio!”
“Main that Ellis had her bu the cart in the direction of home
Three years since we had settled in a sleepy rural village, and it was a very satisfying life
2 Their story: A certain daughter’s story
“Ohwith your Dad?”
“Yes! Big sis is with us today, too!”
The auntie selling skewers in the
“Oh my, Aru’s here too?”
“Met out very often
Dad’s kind but very strict towards big sis and he doesn’t like it when she goes out
