258 Father

"What luck?" Freeman asked. %D7%CF%D3%C4%B8%F3

"It's not lucky...... Wait a minute...... I'll think about it......" Hult frowned deeply, walked back and forth several times, and suddenly froze, and asked the old neighbor intently: "Listen, what I think is right......"

"Okay." Freeman nodded.

"Idra and Grace are favored by the lord at the same time, and they are going to be lords in the barony and parish......"

"Hmm." Freeman nodded.

"Idra and Grace are gone, and old William's family is left with only one boy who can work......"

"Work......" Freeman shook his head, "Master Loss doesn't have to work anymore. ”

"You're right......" Hult didn't care about the old neighbor's rebuttal: "In this way, old William's family will not have a single boy who can work." ”

"And then? You wouldn't be thinking about old William's share, would you? Hult pouted: "Haven't you heard?" Lord Los has brought back a whole bunch of serfs, and the number that has reached now alone is more than your fingers! ”

"What is the land?" Hoult shook his head: "Old William's family has no boys who can work, and then old William's family, no, no, no, that Eckley village, all of a sudden there are no beekeepers and cowherds." ”

"yes...... Alas......" Freeman was a little worried: "Next year's honeycomb, as well as the summer service, will not be so easy." ”

"Hey!" Hult couldn't help but laugh: "What trouble do you want at this time!" Think about it: the village of Aiklee is left with beekeepers and cowherds! No beekeepers and cowherds! ”

"yes...... Belch! Freeman's eyes lit up: "Beekeeper and cowherd!" You mean...... We! ”

"Yes!" Hult nodded vigorously.

"Beekeepers and cowherds! We! We! Freeman also began to pace excitedly, and after more than ten seconds, Freeman calmed down: "Old William can do it himself......"

"When Idra and Grace were still around, William Sr. was already helping out...... You see, can he do it alone? Besides, all the work in the field is now his! ”

"Lord Los also has a younger brother......

"Paavo who can only crawl in bed?"

"By the way...... Freeman suddenly remembered another old neighbor: "Richard! Idla's wife's father! ”

"Longkorn is already going out to be the head of the bank!"

"And Eli ......"

"Ten years old! Little Eli is only ten years old! It's not as tall as a plow, and it can't carry a honeycomb branch! And my Samana, and yours, Rosso, are already capable of doing all the work! Hult quickly said: "Freeman, don't think about being able to do these two good jobs all the time, we only need two or three years!" This is a beekeeper and a cowherd! Two or three years! Just do it for two or three years! There is hope for the children in the future! ”

"You're right! Yes, you're right! Freeman immediately began to spin in circles again excitedly, and after more than ten seconds, he stopped again, with a bitter expression: "I was almost confused by you...... This is the beekeeper and the cowherd, Lord Ifrit, and Master Praia, where can it be so easy to nod their heads? ”

"Yes." Hult nodded slowly.

"How is that possible!" Freeman sighed deeply, "You're confused by Richard's good luck, aren't you?" His son's affairs, Lord Los is very easy to speak, and even if he doesn't have to speak, the head of the village will help, but that's because Idra wants to marry Richard's daughter, Richard and Old William, and soon they will be relatives! What about us? Why? Old William's old neighbor? ”

"Of course it's not just old neighbors!" Hort shook his head vigorously: "Remember? William the Elder, William the Elder...... William Sr. is much older than the two of us......"

"There are some things that we should give back to old William...... "Hott continued, his voice a little low, "Samana and Rosso's work is easy to say, but you may not be willing to give it up. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Next.

After running around for almost half a month, returning to the familiar environment, Wu Qingchen woke up a little later than usual.

But it's okay.

Through the "hole in the wall", Wu Qingchen looked at the self-made sundial: although the time was a little tight, it was not a mistake.

Yawning, Wu Qingchen walked out of the cowherd's mansion.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Wu Qingchen was slightly stunned.

Outside the door, William Sr., Freeman, Hort, and the second son of the two old neighbors were standing in the open space outside the door talking in a whisper.

"Lord Looth......"

Seeing Wu Qingchen, facing the direction of the house, the four of them hurriedly took off their hats and saluted.

"...... Lowes" Old William turned around and beckoned to Wu Qingchen, and when Wu Qingchen walked to his side, Old William pointed to the old neighbors: "Freeman and Hult have something to do with you...... If it's convenient, you can help as much as possible. ”

"Of course." Wu Qingchen smiled and looked around at the four of them, nodding again and again.

Although he didn't know how to recognize the sundial, based on experience, Hult also knew that Wu Qingchen didn't have much free time left at this time.

"Lord Lots......" Wu Qingchen agreed simply, and Hult also gave up circling: "Domination, your brother has a good future...... Do you have any arrangements for the beekeepers and cowherds in the village of Aikri? ”

Really!

"Beekeeper and cowherd......"

Wu Qingchen pondered for a few seconds, and when he saw the two old neighbors, especially the second son beside them, Wu Qingchen immediately thought of this possibility reminded by the staff committee.

However, Samana, Rosso, and the other sons of the old neighbors, which were slightly inferior to the core, but also quite high-quality human resourcesβ€”in fact, not to mention the sons of the two old neighbors, even themselvesβ€”had already been arranged in the next plans of the General Staff.

I'm sorry, two good neighbors, for the sake of the plans of the Staff Committee, and for the sake of a better future for your two sons, I have no choice but to disappoint you now......

"That ......" Wu Qingchen's face was embarrassed, and he offered the words that the staff committee had already prepared: "In the past month or so, Teacher Praia has helped a lot: the original positions of Idra and Grace, the current positions, well, and the arrangements of Longkorn and Little Eli...... As you know, it's all my brother's and relative's business...... Something else, it's really not good to cause trouble for the teacher lately......"

"Ahem......"

Old William coughed: "Looth, think of a way, Freeman and Holt, how much have you helped our family before...... Have you forgotten? On the time when the cattle at home were injured......"

"Nothing, nothing!" Old Hott hurriedly waved his hand: "This is all as it should be, William, you have helped us so much before...... In particular, my father died early...... At that time, if it weren't for your help, William, the two of us would have starved to death. ”

"It's been so long......" Old William scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "What are you talking about now......"

"Of course!" Hult interrupted: "If it weren't for taking care of the two of us, William, why would you get married so late!" ”

"yes!" Freeman also intervened: "If it weren't for helping us, Paavo would have grown up a long time ago, and maybe Ida's son would have grown up too." ”

"Now...... Hult continued, "Idra and Grace are going out to be lords, and Lord Los will also be priests in the future...... Of course, it's all good...... But you, William......"

"Ahhh......h

Wu Qingchen understood this sigh.

It is indeed a great joy for Idra and Grace to be freed from the heavy work and labor of the farm.

However, out of the inherent understanding of the communication and transportation environment of the medieval world, the villagers thought that the two sons of old William, after leaving the village of Ackley, might only return once in a few years, and they must have married and had children in their respective villages......

Proper loneliness in old age.

- Whether it's the perspective of the earth, or the perspective of the medieval world, this is really not a happy thing.

So?

Wu Qingchen frowned slightly, thinking of something.

Sure enough, when Wu Qingchen glanced at Samana beside Hult and Rosso beside Freeman, Hult had already continued: "William, whether it is the care you took of us before, or the things you left behind because of this, we owe you a father's ......"

Sure enough!

My day! This is to send me a brother!

Wu Qingchen's brows furrowed even deeper.

Wu Qingchen frowned, not that he had an opinion on the idea of his old neighbor.

In a social environment where apprentices have to be beaten and scolded for three or four years, changing a father is not as simple as calling a "godfather".

This means that the entire personal relationship, personal property, labor ownership, and future maintenance obligations are completely transferred from one family to another, and fully entrusted to the nominal parent, William Sr., and the actual parent, Wu Qingchen.

In other words, Hult and Freeman's practice of sending their son can indeed make Wu Qingchen more dedicated to helping their son.

But Hult and Freeman themselves received little benefit, and instead lost their two children who had worked so hard to raise until they were 15 or 6 years old.

As for the calculation of dividing the property among households...... With Wu Qingchen's current status and prestige, even if he randomly pulled a seven or eight-year-old child in Ai Kli Village, he would not have such an innocent thought.

With two more brothers who absolutely mastered it, and they came from an old neighbor family that was already very close, Wu Qingchen of course laughed at it, but the problem was that this would obviously slightly disrupt the original manpower arrangement plan of the staff group.

However, it is not much trouble and should not be difficult to adjust......

Old William was also vaguely aware of something, and when he was stunned, although Wu Qingchen was also extremely surprised, he had already begun to get used to weighing the pros and cons of his brain, and quickly figured out most of the joints.

There is only a vague strangeness: when you send your son, why do you deliberately emphasize that you owe old William a father? Isn't that a good place? According to the understanding of Mr. Wu Qingchen, the top expert in the medieval world, even in the medieval world, it is not completely indifferent to seniority?

At this time, Hult and Freeman had finished speaking, and the two pushed at the same time, and Samana and Rosso walked in front of William and Wu Qingchen.

"What are you waiting for?" Hult and Freeman urged in unison.

The two spoke, and Samana and Rosso knelt down at the same time.

The two of them bowed their heads deeply, and shouted respectfully:

"Father."

The direction in which they kneel,

It was Wu Qingchen who was momentarily stunned.
