A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 257 Don’t care

"I" Pam was about to say something when Leon directly suggested.

"Let's eat something first and talk while we eat."

With that, Leon led the way back to the farm.

Pam and Penny looked at each other. Pam was a little hesitant, while Penny stroked the back of her mother's hand and took the initiative to pull her mother into the farm.

This was Pam's first time at Red Star Farm and Penny's second time. Both of them were shocked by the current scale of the farm.

Although the wooden house looks quite simple, the large area of ​​neatly arranged, orderly and lush green crops in front of the house is very eye-catching.

Most residents of Pelican Town have experience in planting, but they have only cultivated a small piece of land near their homes. Even so, it is a bit troublesome to take care of the crops. However, if Leon is the only one to take care of such a large planting area, it would be too hard.

"No wonder he didn't attend this ceremony. He is too busy with work." Pam sighed at this moment.

"I didn't expect that he has expanded the planting area to this extent. The last time I came to Red Star Farm, I hadn't seen such an exaggerated planting quantity." Penny added.

"Will our visit cause him any trouble?" Pam asked anxiously.

"I don't know." Penny shook her head. She didn't know the answer to her mother's question.

On the other side, Leon took out very fresh beef and potatoes from the treasure chest as the main course for lunch, and took out ordinary mushrooms to prepare a simple mushroom soup.

There was no way. The only best ingredient Lyon had on hand was beef stew with potatoes. Moreover, Lyon had used beef stew with potatoes to entertain Abigail and Robin, and the feedback was very good. It should not be difficult for Pam and Penny to swallow.

Leon came out of the house and saw the mother and daughter standing there in a daze. He hurried forward to invite them to sit in the kitchen, handed them a glass of water, and took out the biscuits that Grandma Evelyn had given them as a pre-dinner dessert.

"Wait a moment and take a break. We'll talk about the details after we eat. You don't need to be too restrained. Penny and I are friends. I also learned about your story from Lewis, Pam. I admire your strength."

After comforting the mother and daughter, Leon began to get busy. Fortunately, the dishes that needed to be prepared were different, so he just had to ensure that the portions were sufficient.

During this process, Penny took the initiative to give Lyon a lot of help, such as washing the ingredients, helping to watch the fire, etc., so that Lyon could finish the lunch faster.

Pam sat on a chair next to the dining table, observing the cooperation between Leon and Penny, with a complicated expression on her face.

After Lyon brought a large pot of beef stew with potatoes to the table and Penny brought a pot of mushroom soup to the table, Lyon served three plates of rice to the three of them and asked them to sit down before speaking.

"I know why you're here, Ms. Pam. I restored the bus so I could travel to the Calico Desert anytime. It was out of personal need."

Leon's initiative caught Pam off guard. The words of thanks she had prepared for a long time were stuck in her throat. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Penny couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and she helped her mother speak: "Leon, actually my mother just wants to thank you. After all, once the bus is repaired, she will have a stable job."

"Then there's no need to thank me. Instead, I should thank Ms. Pam. Her job will make it easier for me to travel to the Calico Desert. After all, I can't drive a bus." Leon said with a smile.

"Leon, is it okay for me to call you that?" At this time, Pam finally couldn't help it. She first asked if there was any problem with calling Leon's name. After seeing Leon nod, she hurriedly added.

"No matter what your reasons were, I have to thank you for restoring the bus. This was once my favorite job and one of the main sources of income for my family. This job means a lot to me." "I originally thought that after that incident, I might never be able to work as a bus driver again. Although there were some misunderstandings, Lewis used this ceremony to help restore my reputation and clarify the specific reasons for the accident. I heard Lewis say that this was your idea, so I really thank you."

Hearing this, Leon was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lewis to do him a favor and increase Pam's favorability. However, he quickly reacted and explained.

"Actually, Lewis also had this idea. After all, it's been so long, and Lewis couldn't bear to let you continue to bear this injustice. This was mainly his decision, and I just expressed my support."

"I'm very grateful to Lewis, and thank you too, you're a good man, Leon, thank you."

Pam's eyes became red as she spoke.

Seeing this, Penny quickly hugged her mother in her arms, while Leon said nothing.

He could understand why Pam's emotions were fluctuating so much right now. After all, anyone who had been vilified for several years would feel the same way once they were cleared of the charges.

After Pam's mood stabilized a lot, Leon said, "It's time to eat, otherwise the food will be unpalatable when it gets cold."

"I" Pam wanted to say something, but Leon just smiled and shook his head. Then Penny cooperated very well and started adding a large spoonful of potato stewed beef to Pam's plate.

Pam didn't know what to say, so she enjoyed lunch with Leon and Penny.

The lunch was eaten in silence. Leon didn't speak, Pam was too embarrassed to speak, and Penny just watched intently. She waited until all three of them had eaten and drunk their fill before she stood up and started clearing the table.

At this time, Leon looked at Pam who was hesitant to speak, and took the initiative to say: "Ms. Pam, you should not drink during work in the future."

"No, even after get off work, I will only drink in moderation to ensure that my hangover will not affect my work the next day." Pam quickly assured.

"That's no problem." Leon nodded, then said, "Go back with Penny. I think you and your daughter have a lot to talk about. This place is obviously not a place for you to confide in each other."

Then Leon walked to the kitchen sink and took over Penny's job of washing dishes. He whispered, "Penny, take your mother back. I'll do these things."

"Aren't you guys going to chat anymore?" Penny asked confusedly.

"Mainly, there's nothing much to talk about," Leon replied. "To be honest, I restored the bus for my own needs."

"Well, thank you for your hospitality, Leon. The lunch was great." Penny saw that Leon wanted to see her off, so she didn't insist on helping Leon wash the dishes. She went over and took her mother away from Red Star Farm.

Leon washed the dishes and left the kitchen. He looked at the empty farm and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't care about Pam's gratitude at all. If it weren't for Lewis's explanation and support, Leon would have directly suggested that Lewis find a reliable driver.

The reason why he invited Pam and Penny, mother and daughter, to lunch was because of Penny. Leon didn't have much good feelings towards Pam, and he didn't plan to have too much interaction with this middle-aged lady in the future.

　Thank you to the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord Moxiao for the 500 starting coins. It's very generous of you! I wish you good health.
