"I heard you're going to get engaged...... Alyssa looked at the emerald green wheat field in the distance, the constant wind made the wheat seedlings in the wheat field form waves of wheat, and the wind has also become tangible and qualitative, and is showing itself in a completely different way.

In the evening of midsummer, the wind blows on people's bodies and takes away a trace of dryness and heat left during the day, looking at the layers of wheat fields, lined with the fiery red sunset, the fishy smell of the earth and the fragrance of plants and trees make people who are used to seeing high-rise buildings have a feeling of relaxation and joy.

Alyssa leaned on the railing and looked at the horizon in the distance, once upon a time she also had a hint of expectation, maybe she might really become Dorin's wife, but the reality was always so cruel and ruthless, shattering her fragile dreams. When she learned the news of Doolin's engagement from Mr. Kersma, she had an indescribable feeling, lack of oxygen, dizziness, and her heart seemed to be about to burst, but she could taste it carefully, and it was not so serious.

Her feelings for Durin are wonderful, and she has considered this issue very seriously, perhaps more because of the initial amazement, and the bond between the two children, love or something...... Maybe there is, but maybe not much.

The so-called discomfort is more likely to be a loss than despair.

Durin stood beside her, looking at the sky in the distance, and he sighed in answer to Alyssa's question, as he and Mr. Kersma had said, this was what he had to do, and it was a part of what he needed to go through in order to fulfill his ideals.

"Who is that girl?", Alyssa's gaze withdrew from the distant sky, looking at Durin's face, although not very handsome, but always giving people something that could not be ignored, his eyes were very attentive, Alyssa saw in his eyes what he was looking at - this world.

It occurred to her that a very interesting question had occurred to her, until now she had not learned more about Doolin on a deeper level, and all the contact was so superficial. She never knew what kind of pursuits Durin had, and he had terrible or not-so-terrible pressure, his attitude towards life, his attitude towards life, and his attitude towards his career, he didn't know at all, let alone wanted to understand.

This is a strange man, to her Durin is like an ordinary passerby, you may pass by him, but you don't have to know everything about him, because he is just a passerby. But on the contrary, this most familiar stranger is the father of his two children, they don't know each other at all, but they do what only husband and wife do.

Is this fate?

Then this fate is really wonderful, and it has become a bad fate.

Durin's heart was very calm at this time, and here, he was able to completely calm down, he thought for a while, and replied, "Do you know Magus? ”

"Mags's niece?, that must be a very powerful girl?", Alyssa secretly compared herself to the girl who was about to be engaged to Doolin, but unfortunately she could not find anything that could outperform the other in any way, even if she had not met the woman.

Durin nodded, "This is also what I need, on the way to the end of the journey of life, you can walk one step at a time, or you can run, I chose to take a car, it will be faster, and it will also allow me to go further." He retracted his gaze and looked at Alyssa, "This is a transaction, it has nothing to do with love, and it may be difficult for a person like me to be emotional in this life." He smiled self-deprecatingly, when a person has an unprecedented great ideal, and tries his best to achieve it, all personal desires will be suppressed to the limit.

He didn't know if there were such people in this world, but there were in the world of his dreams, and not one or two. Once an idealized thing appears, it means that there is a more idealized goal, and there are people who believe that this more idealized goal can be achieved.

"Don't fall in love with me, you'll be tired!", Durin suddenly raised his arm and put his arm around Alyssa's shoulders, and the two stood in the sunset, neither of them spoke, wearing the veil woven by the sunset, looking at the ups and downs of the wheat waves, and rarely fell into a kind of silence that should not be there.

At night, Durin was assigned to Alyssa's room, which was actually his. Of the four older children in the Kersma family, Mason and Durin sleep in the same room, and Merlin and Kinsale, twins, who live in the other room. Now the four children have left home to pursue their careers, and one of the two rooms that have been vacated is for the two children and one for Alyssa.

It is naturally impossible for Durin to huddle with Mr. and Mrs. Kerma, nor with his younger siblings, nor for Mr. Kerma to let him squeeze with the two children, especially after Durin reveals that he wants to give the two children kind fatherly love, he can only sleep in his own room, which is now the room where Alyssa lives.

In the evening, there is a bath, the country bath is not like a villa or manor in the city, where there is a shallow well for non-drinking, the boys tend to stand directly next to the well and giggle and wash, and the girls have a shack dedicated to bathing, and the water is sent to a large bucket on the shack, and then a pipe with a faucet is attached underneath.

Many city dwellers don't like it when they first come to the country, but when they get used to it, they will find that it's actually quite good, at least it's convenient, and it's especially cool in the summer - Merlin praised this sentence.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he looked at the only bed in the room, Durin didn't want to sleep on the floor very hypocritically, he just lay down on the bed, and then left enough space. Alyssa was not pretentious, and lay down beside Durin in her pajamas.

This is the strangest state between two people, who are not husband and wife, who almost completely do not know each other, and who have not seen each other for a long time. Even real couples will have some strange alienation if they do this, but this kind of thing that should exist does not exist between two people, they lie together naturally as if they sleep together every day.

Compared to Durin's heartlessness and falling asleep with her head next to the pillow, Alyssa finally behaved a little more normal, and she didn't fall asleep.

Durin lay beside her, and for countless nights she sometimes fantasized that Durin would come back one day, and thought of some other things, but at this time she was neither moved nor uncomfortable, but she was a little unaccustomed to squeezing in a bed with others.

When she couldn't sleep, she thought about a lot of messy things, such as what to do with her two children when they grew up, such as whether to send them to private schools in the future, such as whether Doolin's engagement ceremony would be very grand, such as .......

In the midst of countless thoughts, Alyssa gradually began to feel sleepy, and her eyelids became heavy, until she fell asleep without even noticing herself.

The next morning, there was a strange sound of chickens outside, and when Durin opened his eyes, Ann Lisha was lying on his side with his arm and sleeping peacefully, he looked up at the sky outside the window, and then gently broke free of Alyssa's restraints, and walked out curiously. In his memory, the rooster that crows in the morning is not like that, and it feels a little ...... Miserable?

He didn't know why he had this thought, maybe he thought the sound of the roosters was very terrible, and as soon as he went out, he saw Mr. Kersma sitting in an easy chair with a pipe in his mouth, and watched the two children run around by a flock of old geese, but he didn't stop it.

Durin sat down beside him, lit a cigarette, and the father and son sat silently, watching the old geese make the two children fly, maybe this is the only poultry in the town that is not afraid of the two brothers, right?!

"Why...... Is that how all chickens croak now?", Duhrin hurriedly asked when another rooster crowed.

Mr. Kersma turned his head to look at him with a strange expression, and then pointed impatiently at the two laughing boys, "They dumb all the cocks they can with soybeans......"

In fact, when it comes to this, Mr. Kersma himself is to blame, once he showed off to his two grandsons, saying that his family was very poor when he was a child, and in order to eat a good meal, he exhaustively tried all the methods, including "fishing for chickens". Fishing was very common and commonplace, but as soon as the word chicken fishing appeared, the two children were interested, and then Mr. Kersma proudly told the two boys to find a bigger soybean, drill a small hole in the middle, and then find a strong string to thread into it.

Throw the soybeans into the fence used by the wealthy merchants to raise poultry, shake it, and when you feel that the line in your hand is a little heavy, you can pull it hard, and you can catch chickens.

This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people, because the large soybean card is the throat of the chicken, whether it is a rooster or a hen can not scream, and it will not arouse the suspicion of the owner.

This story greatly aroused the interest of the two children, and then ...... The chickens in the town were stricken.

In the past, those two horrible little humans would only chase them around, but now they can actually play yin, and it is natural that these two little bastards were educated by Mr. Kersma, and of course Mr. Kersma will never admit that they did it because he told a story about him when he was a child.

If you want to blame, blame them for being Doolin's children, that bastard didn't pass on the good things to these two children, only gave them bad genes.

Durin is such an out-and-out bastard!
