23 Episode 23: Potato Digging

The next morning, Allen said I would do my home. About six o'clock. Allen gets up and goes to the living room.

"Good morning, mother."

"Good morning, Allen"

From yesterday, Daddy Mama graduated and started calling her Dad and Mum. Go to the dirt floor, go out with two wooden tubs with handles. It is already late October. It is very cold in the morning.

Head to the communal water pumping station. The communal fountains are wells dug in the village for farmers to use for drinking water. Not so far away.

"Good morning"

“Oh, Rodin ’s eldest son, good morning”

Already a line of about four or five people has already been formed. Allen lines up behind. See what the previous person is doing and understand how to pull a rope and pump water out of the well. I've seen it from afar, but this is the first time I've come. Adults can see the children in various ways, such as whether Rodin was seriously injured.

With the turn coming, he draws a rope to scoop water from the tub attached to the well.

Basha

Fill the two wooden tubs so that nothing happens. Are you worried? Adults are watching.

"Hey, shaved, don't take it home with so much water."

"Huh? Thank you for your concern."

With that said, I will go home with a wooden tub with 30 liters in both hands. Adults who look stunned.

(After all, Dad has power. The size of the tub is bigger than other people.)

With that in mind, return home and drain the old water in the water bottle into the narrow water channel that runs by the house. Return the water bottle to its original location, and transfer the water in the wooden bowl from above the chest.

"..."

Theresia sees it, but can't say anything.

"Mom, today's afternoon Gerda teaches me how to harvest potatoes. Is there anything you need to prepare?"

"That's right."

Mother Teresia, whose stomach has begun to swell, learns how to harvest potatoes from Gerda because she cares for Rodin and takes care of the mash.

Yesterday, Allen declared that he would do the house. That means doing the field work in addition to the housework you have already helped. One part of that is changing the water jar that Rodin did every morning.

Yesterday, Rodin and Teresia came together to Gerda and were told that he was only six years old. However, Allen's intention was so firm that he concluded that it would be better for him to tell him how hard and unreasonable he was to do than to tell him.

Theresia brings breakfast to the room where Rodin is. Although it is a very small house, it is not possible to get from the bedroom of the next couple to the living room. Worthy, Teresia feeds her.

After eating, clean up and wash. Recently, laundry has become a daily routine. I have stopped throwing stones for three years since I was three.

Gerda arrives after lunch. I came from the afternoon because I had my field work in the morning.

"Allen, I have this basket because I harvest potatoes."

It's a bit stricter if you're going to give up right away.

"Yes, Gerda"

Listen to the instructions seriously to see if the intention is transmitted. Continue to the field.

The fields adjacent to Allen's house are basically Rodin's fields.

(4 or 5 fields are divided by roads. Wheat, potatoes and beans, leafy vegetables, it is quite wide if you look at this)

It is a wide field to manage by yourself.

(After all, the level is quite high. Is it the result of hunting the boa quite a bit?)

Before Allen was born, Rodin hunted a Great Boar, a C-ranked beast. Surely the level was improved and it was considered more powerful than just villagers. Naturally, it is not as large as a field managed by tractors in the real world. However, in this civilization in which plows are used with hoes, plows, etc., it is quite large for a family to manage.

Enter one of the fields that my father has been taking care of every day. The withered stem is already on the ground.

"This way, pull it out and put out the potato."

When Allen is deeply moved into the field, Gerda will explain the work. Gerda, a muscular mushy, pulls out the withered stem with one hand. Potatoes of various sizes come out. Gerda, like Rodin, has considerable power through bore hunting.

The potatoes that have been dug out are similar to sweet potatoes in taste and appearance. It is sweet and mashed.

"This is it."

"Oh, it's pretty rooted.

Hold it with one hand and try to pull it out like Gerda.

"Oh, hey, you can't go with one hand ..."

Before saying it to the end, I pulled out the potato at once with the same force as Gerda.

"Do you put all the potatoes in the basket?"

"Oh, oh, go home and sort out. The little one is next year's seed potato."

Hold different stems in both hands and pull out. Shake the soil and drop it into a basket. The basket is filling up more and more.

(It takes one day to get all the potatoes, though I can't just dig the potatoes)

"Is this going to the garden?"

"Oh, oh, yes, Allen has power."

"Yes, I'm a father's child."

The potatoes are still buried in the ground. This potato is the staple food of the Allen family throughout the year. If all is harvested, it will not fit in the soil. They will be stored in one corner of the garden. The garden of Allen's house is surrounded by tattered walls but not narrow. There is a place to store the harvested crop and enough space for Krena and Knights.

I put a potato in a full basket. Due to the size of the basket, it is heavier than a 6-year-old child. Hold it with both hands and lift. Gerda opens his eyes and breathes.

Neither Rodin nor Teresia nor Gerda believe that Allen has any strength. I also think that he is more than a normal child. I have been playing the knight with Clena for three years, so I have seen him many times, but it is not the movement of the child there. I've seen some of the power from everyday housework.

But what I showed was only that one scale. Walk with your small feet in the ground, which is plowed and softer than the road.

(It's light. I'm glad I increased my attack power.)

The card of the holder which was originally biased to the grass F to increase the magic power was increased to the beast. Card distribution has been changed to agricultural mode.

Allen has stopped suppressing or hiding his status. I decided to do field work for housework at full throttle. Sometimes I can't say that while my mother has a younger brother. There is a sword sacred in the neighborhood, a little prominent, a serf with no talent, and it's fine.

(Is there a lot of field work, is the grass card overweight severe? I have to adjust the distribution of cards firmly.)

Look at a corner of the field.

"Is that field also managed by Dad?"

Watch the fields where the grass grows to the height of Allen while carrying the potatoes loaded in a full basket.

"Oh, yes, we'll be pulling out weeds next year."

It is a fallow land that has not been touched this year.

(Hey, my place is my father's field. The grass is dead and the size is reasonable.)

Serfs cannot own land, but there is land allocated. Basically it will take over for generations.

Someone just came to Allen's house as he set the potatoes in a corner of the house garden.

"I'm sorry, is there Rodin?"

"Oh?"

Mayor Deboji has arrived. At the appraisal ceremony and banquet, I saw it several times nearby, so I learned my face. Gerda reacts with such an angry voice to such a mayor.

"Oh, Gerda? I heard that Rodin's consciousness has returned. Look, you're coming."

"Yes, yes."

The village chief was not alone. I brought a young man. About 15 years old. Allen has never seen.

We come in from the gate. I think the feeling that comes in without hesitation is the difference between the village chief and the serf.

As Allen and Gerda stare, the mayor approaches the entrance.

"Is this a long village?"

Teresia comes out of the dirt. You notice something unusual. It may be the voice that Allen hears for the first time.

(Mother is angry. Well, unless the village chief told me to put in the commoners, my dad wouldn't see that.)

"I heard that Rodin had regained consciousness. I came to see a serious injury."

That said, he shows the small barrels brought by the young man and some food.

"I'm in the back"

Apparently, I don't say go home. Guide to two bedrooms with Rodin.

(Somehow this young man is trembling)

He is a trembling young man.

"You, the village mayor came to see you."

"Hmm?

A young man places a visitor in the living room and heads to the bedroom. Rodin, standing up on a futon, is watching.

"Oh, I'm sorry for this because of me!"

The young man sitting on the floor bowed deeply and apologized. Apparently, he was a commoner youth who caused severe injuries.

"Ah, yeah, yes. If you're still motivated, watch out next.

"Huh? Yes, yes."

It was an unexpected answer for a young man. Return to the face of the elementary moment.

Then, the village mayor returns to ask you to cure. It seems that the commoner young man was alone and came together. The two go through the dirt.

Allen and Gerda have potato digging, so observe the situation and return to the field.

"Gerda, who is that?"

"Huh? That's right."

Tell me the situation at that time. It is a boa hunt where a newcomer, the role of the wall, relaxed and became a fierce battle. Boa approached a young man who was frightened and pulled back.

"Rodan was seriously injured while wearing him. Oh, I guess I know, don't tell people. He doesn't like being told that."

When you walk along the road, you pass by some serfs. Have you heard something that regained consciousness somewhere in your hand? People who go to visit.

Allen was so proud of the scene.
