A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 347 Photos
Along the way, Leon and Abigail didn't talk much. The mud on the road from the farm to Pelican Town was basically the same as a swamp after being soaked by rain.

Not only is it difficult to walk, but some small potholes also contain water. If you step on one without paying attention, the splashing mud can instantly make a clean pair of pants look several times uglier.

Moreover, these muddy roads were quite slippery, so the two of them basically paid attention to the road conditions under their feet. This situation continued until they entered Pelican Town, where the road conditions improved.

"Hey, the road leading to the bus stop and your farm in town really needs to be repaired, otherwise it will be inconvenient for everyone to go to the bus stop on rainy days."

After walking on the hard, smooth and clean stone road, Abigail couldn't help but complain.

"It should be soon." Leon thought of the compensation conditions for Joja's supermarket that he and Lewis learned last time, which included a clause that Joja would build roads for Pelican Town, and replied.

“You know this too?” Abigail widened her eyes and looked at Leon. “Why do I feel like you’re more of a Pelican Town native than I am?”

"I just happened to be involved in this matter." Leon waved his hand perfunctorily, and did not intend to explain to Abigail how he and Lewis had used the Joja family's leverage to blackmail them.

"You didn't pay for the repair of this road, did you? Just like the bus?" Lyon didn't say anything, but Abigail thought about it herself. After coming to this conclusion, she directly dissuaded Lyon.

"Can't you save some money and replace your shabby house with a bigger one? Lewis collects taxes from businesses every month. Let them pay for the repairs themselves. After all, it's a public facility, and we pay taxes to deal with this situation."

"I didn't pay for it. The Joja family was responsible for building the road. Don't say anything nonsense." Leon explained to Abigail speechlessly.

"Ah? Joja's family? Why?" Abigail asked back.

"Of course it's because the Joja family wants to contribute to Pelican Town. Okay, stop asking and let's go to Hayley's house to take shelter from the rain." Leon said perfunctorily and quickened his pace.

Although Abigail was confused, Leon had already run away, so she had no choice but to follow him. Soon the two of them arrived at the big villa at No. 2 Willow Lane and rang the doorbell.

Leon was a little surprised by the person who opened the door. It was not Haley or Emily, but Sophia.

"Oh? Leon, are you invited too?" Sophia was a little surprised when she saw Leon.

"I didn't expect you to come here too." Seeing Sophia, Leon felt the same as Sophia. He didn't expect Sophia to appear here.

"I'm temporarily staying in Uncle Gus's bar guest room. I often see Emily, and Emily is very nice to me, so we became friends. I was invited by Emily this time." Sophia explained to Leon, and then realized that it was still raining outside.

"Come in quickly! It's raining and you don't even have an umbrella. Come inside and warm up first."

Seeing that Sophia had made way for the entrance, Leon didn't hesitate. After entering the house, he took off his shoes, found a pair of guest slippers that he had worn before, and went into the house.

Just as Sophia was about to close the door, she noticed someone outside holding an umbrella. The purple hair made her look bewildered and asked, "Who are you? Were you invited here too?"

"Sophia, I'm Abigail. Have you forgotten me?" Abigail looked at Sophia speechlessly and complained.

"Abigail?! Oh, sorry, you've changed so much, especially with your purple hair. I don't remember it being this color before." Hearing Abigail introduce herself, Sofia finally remembered her childhood playmate. "I forgot when my hair color changed, but it doesn't matter. Long time no see, Sofia." Abigail smiled and opened her arms, as if wanting to give Sofia a hug.

Sophia hesitated, but finally accepted Abigail's enthusiasm.

After the hug, Sophia's attitude towards Abigail became much better. Perhaps it was because of the hug, or perhaps it was because she remembered their childhood friendship, but the two girls became familiar with each other again.

Leon, who had entered the house earlier, looked at the empty living room and asked Sophia puzzledly: "Where are Emily and Hailey?"

"Emily went shopping, and Haley is organizing photo albums in her room. Let's go find her together." Sophia replied, pulling Abigail towards Haley's room.

Leon followed the two of them, and only went in when he saw them enter Haley's room with the door open and no strange noises were made.

Hailey's room is basically decorated and wallpapered in warm colors. The carpet is pink and the wallpaper is a combination of coconut trees, beach and sea water. The furniture is also very exquisitely made. There are even potted coconut tree plants as decorations in the room.

Last time, he just took a quick look from outside the door, but now he has entered and seen it clearly, which makes Lyon feel that it is quite unique.

Hayley, Sophia and Abigail, who have formed a small team, are now looking at the large photo album in Hayley's hand.

"You didn't dare to come in last time, why do you dare to come in this time?"

When Haley saw Leon enter the room, she couldn't help but complain to Leon.

"Last time we were alone and I was afraid you would do something bad to me. This time there are many of us, so I'm not afraid." Leon teased Haley with a smile.

"I think you feel guilty." Haley retorted to Leon without any hesitation.

But the bickering stopped there. After saying this, Hailey waved at Leon and said, "Would you like to see the winning photo? The protagonist of the photo is you."

"Okay." Leon came forward after hearing that. The three women naturally made room for Leon. The four of them sat on the carpet in a cross shape, with the photo album placed in the middle of them.

The photos in the album are the pictures of Lyon fishing for catfish on a rainy day. It is a series of pictures, from the moment Lyon caught the fish, to the game, to the moment when the catfish was dragged ashore, and finally to the picture of Lyon holding a catfish that was bigger than him. It is a complete series of photos recording fishing.

After looking at it for a long time, Leon still couldn't figure out what was going on. He felt that this set of photos seemed to be taken with just a camera.

So I couldn't help but ask, "Did you win the award at that photography seminar with these photos?"

"No." Haley shook her head, then flipped through several pages of the album before showing the photos in front of Leon again.

“This is the winning photo.”
