Two days later, at noon, when Danny walked into the Misty Village, he could hardly believe that this was the village he had left four years ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A beautiful windmill stands in the center of the village, next to the newly built buildings and a wide barn barn, the village's dilapidated thatched houses have almost all been transformed into beautiful brick houses, and the wheat waiting to be harvested in the fields is growing more than in any previous year.

The road between the fields was also much wider than before, and from time to time there were children chasing and playing behind Danny's horse, and some familiar adults looked at Danny without saying anything, and they should vaguely remember who this person was, and they didn't dare to recognize each other for a while.

Danny was not yet fifteen years old when he left the village, and now he was a nineteen-year-old boy, so it was no wonder that the neighbors did not dare to recognize each other.

However, compared to Danny, these farmers have not aged much in the past four years, except for looking better, so Danny can recognize almost everyone.

When he politely called out the names of the uncles, the onlookers finally confirmed that it was Danny. So, soon after entering the village, Danny had to dismount and be surrounded by the crowd and walk to his house.

The original location of Danny's house has also been turned into a brick house, larger than everything I have seen since entering the village, and it looks like it has just been built.

Standing far in front of the house were Danny's father and sister.

It wasn't until he was close enough to see the smile on his father's face that Danny felt a little relieved—he remembered his father rarely smiling.

......

In the evening, Danny's house was bustling.

Danny's eldest sister Amy and eldest brother-in-law Todd came over with their three children when they heard the news, and at this time, the eldest sister Amy was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen with Dia.

The eldest brother-in-law, Todd, kept telling Danny about the changes in the Misty Village in the past four years.

In his detailed, somewhat verbose story, Danny seems to have witnessed how the village has become wealthy step by step.

However, the most important thing for Danny is that his mother has been able to barely sit up.

Needless to say, this is inseparable from the changes in the village over the years, and it is precisely because she no longer has to worry about food that her mother's body has recovered little by little.

Looking at his kind mother sitting at the dinner table, Danny's heart was full of gratitude. He knew who was responsible for all these changes.

"Danny...... You don't know yet, do you? Jimmy is now a noble lord......" Todd's freckled face, with a pair of small eyes, and a kind of coarse and undisguised shrewdness that is characteristic of a farmer, glanced at Danny's father intentionally or unintentionally as he said this, and the latter's face suddenly became unsightly.

"Really?" said Danny, knowing why his father was upset, and he had heard Dia complain privately shortly after entering the door in the afternoon. In Dia's opinion, if it weren't for her father's intervention, she would have married Jimmy and become a noble lady.

"Danny...... You're fast, aren't you?" asked the eldest brother-in-law, Todd, mysteriously, looking at the open door alertly, and his tone was low, as if he was afraid of being heard by the neighbors.

No sooner had Todd asked than Danny's father and mother looked at Danny with anticipation written on their faces.

"I ...... I didn't think about this. Danny subconsciously scratched his head, his expression a little embarrassed, and he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to aspire to the status of a nobleman. He also felt a little strange about this.

However, this answer sounded to Todd a different feeling.

The shrewd brother-in-law first looked at Danny in surprise, then showed a sudden expression, and then shook his head slightly, obviously disappointed.

Not only him, but Danny's parents also looked lost.

"Didn't you say what you did?" Danny's father was obviously unwilling.

"Yes...... Kana and the nobility...... It doesn't matter, I'm going to do the work myself. Danny looked a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to explain to his father that the factory director was just a position similar to a steward, and had nothing to do with the canonized nobles.

"Danny, Danny, you're different from your brother-in-law, you've gone to a magic academy, and you've ever gone to an engineering school, and you know more words than Jimmy, right? But you're just too honest, you see, Jimmy knows how to get close to those old men, what's the use of just being able to work? It's better than hardship, who in the whole village can compare with your father? But ...... What's the use of just being able to work?" The tone of the eldest brother-in-law, Todd, seemed to accuse the child of incompetitiveness.

Danny's father's old face was a little embarrassed, in the past few years, he has indeed done a lot of foolish things, so that the whole village has seen the jokes, if it weren't for the fact that for more than a year, Danny asked someone to bring back four gold coins every month, and their family didn't know when they would be able to afford to build such a beautiful brick house.

However, it is precisely because he has suffered from not knowing how to be flexible that the old man has a better understanding of his son-in-law Todd's words.

"Danny, your brother-in-law is right, I don't believe you're as good as Jimmy. When he said Jimmy, there was still some hatred on his face.

Danny's brow furrowed slightly, he didn't understand why his father hated Jimmy. After piecing together the evil deeds that his father and Dea had said about Jimmy, he felt as if Jimmy had done nothing wrong.

It was his father who was the first to refuse Jimmy's kindness, and it was also his father who insisted on marrying Dea to someone else, in fact, if it weren't for Jimmy, Danny wouldn't have had the opportunity to study at Santan School of Magic.

Of course, Danny didn't ask his father directly, but put this question in his heart, turned his head and asked Todd, "Brother-in-law, when was Jimmy canonized?"

He asked a natural question, but this natural question stumped Todd.

"Book, canonization......" Todd is just a farmer after all, how can he know the rules of the nobles, scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, he didn't know how to answer, and he explained for a long time: "You don't know yet, right? Three years ago, Jimmy was in charge of our entire village, and I heard that he is now in charge of dozens of such villages, you say, if it is not a nobleman, how can he manage such a big place?"

Danny let out a soft "oh" and didn't continue.

Maybe Jimmy was really canonized, or maybe it was just a misinformation from the villagers, but what does this have to do with himself?

"By the way, it's time to harvest wheat these days, right?" Danny deliberately changed the subject, not thinking that this casual question would still go back to Jimmy.

"It was supposed to be harvesting the wheat a few days ago, but Jimmy came and told us to harvest it later, saying that the old man was going to test a machine...... In the past few days, the people in the village have been dying in a hurry, and if they don't harvest the wheat, they will rot in the ground. Todd said angrily, "Look, I'll just say it, Jimmy's kid doesn't care if we live or die in order to please those masters." ”

Danny was stunned, vaguely guessing what the machine to experiment was, although he had been at the Lingbei Machinery Factory, he could always know some of the recent situation of the Fog City Factory through the teams that transported parts.

Danny is also looking forward to this long-rumored machine, but when he listens to Todd's words, what he cares about most is not this, but Todd's attitude when he talks about "old men", this attitude even makes Danny a little disgusted in his heart. (To be continued.) )
