"That's amazing!" Jonny praised, knowing that Uncle Daniel was a well-known agricultural expert in Wenzhicheng, and that his work was crucial to the farm.

"The absence of a certain ion in the irrigation recipe water, and in Daniel's study, it was concluded that it could not be synthesized artificially, only through the gamma energy of the Mestra, but that could not be replicated." Joanna explained to her son.

"It's an amazing discovery." Jonny was amazed as he held May's basket and held his elderly grandmother by hand as he passed an ascending ramp.

"An astonishing discovery? Not necessarily, all the coincidences in the world are based on the arrangement of the feather god, who shows us the greatness of nature and reminds the world to cherish it at all times. Mei smiled kindly at her grandson, and didn't seem to agree with her own expert son's opinion.

"Sister, why don't you drive the car in?" As soon as you enter the gate of the farm, Andrew . Taylor had already caught up, and Jonny found that this burly uncle, who was in the sixth rank, seemed to be waiting for them in the courtyard every time he came, and his relationship with Joanna's sibling was obviously very deep.

"It's not you yet, let my mother go out to pick some wild vegetables on a rainy day, it's not like I met on the road, and the car can't sit down." Joanna said angrily.

"Sister, it's not that you don't know your mother, who can stop her from doing what she is going to do, so you let Kate and them accompany her, and the rain force field is ......" Andrew quickly explained.

"The force field can't stop the moisture in the field, and she has to squat to pick it, which is how her arthritis comes from." Andrew was speechless when Jonana spoke.

"Don't babble like a little woman, I don't like to hear that." Mei who came to the eaves clapped her hands and took the basket in Jonny's hand and rummaged through the basket with her hands.

"You see, the Tsubaki leaves, pandan heads, green Huishen chrysanthemums, ripe fruit persimmons, these good things in the field can be defeated quickly if they are not picked, and I am afraid that I will not be able to cook once after the rainy day, I have thought about waiting until Johnny's birthday to pick it once a year, every year, I can't hear you say this and that before." She handed the basket into her daughter's hands, her eyes crooked like a crescent moon.

"Make a table of assorted tables that we are proud of, and the wild vegetables picked by my mother are made by my daughter, which is the best 'family fun' in the heart of Yushen."

……

"When the birthday boy entered the door, the room immediately looked much brighter." Steven. Taylor patted Jonny on the shoulder, and as soon as his favorite nephew entered the door, the gloom that was still on his face had already dissipated.

"My favorite nephew." And so he said. "Reveal the content of today's wish in advance, if it involves any handsome and cool wishes, your little uncle and I may be able to make it come true." He laughed.

"Maybe." Old Five Lucas. Taylor looked expressionless and nodded to say hello to Jonny.

"Tell me, what kind of gift do you want?" Steven put his arm around Jonny's shoulder, ignoring his brother's sarcasm.

"I don't want any gifts...... "Although he came to the farm to celebrate his birthday, Jonny didn't think about it at all.

"Well, if it's a Barrecas, 16 is a great rite of passage, how can you do it without a gift." Ever since Steven befriended the Barrecas in the Nexus Pathway, he had been talking about the formidable creatures he had only seen once or twice from afar.

"So...... Maybe...... A few more light ales? He couldn't help but laugh at the taste of Taylor's light beer that he drank here on Chinese New Year's Eve, but Wenzhi City strictly prohibits children under the age of 18 from drinking any alcoholic beverages.

"Beer? Haha, you're asking for less. Steven patted his nephew on the shoulder with some disappointment, he had expected Jonny to ask him for his motorcycle, and he was just in time to announce that he had officially awarded his beloved to his nephew.

"Then let's have a drink, how can the Taylor kids not drink." Maternal grandfather Brandon. Taylor pushed the overflowing glass of beer he poured in front of him to Jony's table, and Cameron beside him. Taylor immediately took an empty cup and filled it for him again.

"We're going to drink too." At the long table in the large living room, several of the Taylor's Johnny's cousins disagreed,

"When you're 16 years old." Old Taylor didn't mess around.

If the sons allowed it, Mei must stop it, but once the old man spoke, Mei could only sigh and not speak.

Jonny raised his glass and looked at Mei before she took a sip, and as the sweet and icy taste blossomed between his lips and teeth, a familiar feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, a fragment of the past, a perfect combination of their convergence with reality. Before he could fully swallow the wine, he took another big sip, and the Taylors couldn't help but laugh at the foam on Jonny's mouth and the appropriate expression on his face.

"I'm going to leave my car with Jonny." Steven finally spoke his mind.

"Leave it to me...... Where are you going? Uncle? Jonny asked in surprise, and as he saw a rare firmness in his little uncle's eyes, he immediately understood.

Not long ago, on the Chinese New Year's Eve of Chilian, on the watchtower of the Lower Farm, Jonny and Steven had a heart-to-heart conversation, and in front of this nephew, who had grown up, this uncle seemed to have no reservations in his heart.

They drank beer while watching the grand fireworks display in Onchi City, and the uncertainty of the future and the confusion of the past made Jonny enjoy this calm and relatively noisy feeling. For the first time in his life, the New Year's Eve was accompanied by this usually swaggering uncle, and Steven, after the wonderful fireworks display that represented the arrival of the new year, was silent, just drinking beer glass after glass.

"I don't want to be a farmer for the rest of my life, Jonny." Steven told him.

"My roots are here, but my achievements are not."

"I think I'm much more than that." He concluded.

The sincerity of Steven's words was clearly audible, and he was clearly speaking to himself that no one else knew, and as a listener of a nephew, Jonny couldn't give him much advice even though he had something to say in his heart.
