Chapter 136
Spring came after a cold winter, and it would be called summer in other areas. However, as this country was in the north, summer was not here. We were growing corn now when other countries would be growing something else.
I felt someone pull my sleeve and lowered my head to see my daughter with an indifferent face.
“Are you saying that I should work?”
She nodded.
“Yes.”
She went back to her place to plant corn seedlings on the ground, and I sighed. The fried chicken was formidable, and while she treated me the same way, she still would not speak to me. I thought it would last only a week and a month at best.
However, it had been three months! I was beginning to want to make some for her, but I wanted her to come and ask me first. The Metal Bat would think me weird but thinking of her pleading with me to make her chicken was cute. Her cuteness would shake the lands if things went like this.
“All right! Don’t throw dirt! It’s dirty!”
My daughter threw at me dirt still wet with manure, and I began planting corn in earnest. I arranged the seeds we had selected and others I had bought at the neighboring village in case they could make popcorn. If there were no drastic climate changes, we would be able to eat well this year. So, now I needed to do one thing.
