Chapter 96: Potatoes and.....
Coco reached the mountain almost immediately, jogging her way up through the uneven terrain with practiced ease and went to work after dropping her sling bag.
Coco kept the basket with her and knelt in the dirt, her hands digging carefully in the healthy and lush earth.
She has been working for almost three hours so her fingers were covered in grime with her shirt and hair slightly rumpled from her work.
The potato plants stood tall around her, their green leaves swaying gently in the breeze.
Coco’s expression was blank, but focused, her eyes fixed on the task at hand as she was careful with each potato, her hands gently plucking the tubers from the ground and placing them in a basket beside her.
The excited and happy woman moved through the potato field with a skip, her hands moving quickly and efficiently as she harvested the potatoes.
She would kneel down, her fingers reaching under the plants and carefully extracting the tubers from the ground.
The work was repetitive and mundane, but Coco moved with a steady rhythm, eager and daydreaming as the harvested potatoes quickly filled her basket.
Despite the monotony of the chore, she couldn’t help, but take pride in the work, her hands moving with precision and speed as she sang random tune under her breath from her previous world.
By the time she was done, she had filled the basket to the brim with potatoes.
"Are we bringing only potatoes back to the village?" Lala asked as she settled herself on top of the potato, her skirt protecting her from the dirt that was sticking on the surface of the tuber.
