Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

When Shane came to Sean's farm again, he was shocked.

In a large green rice field in the southern part of the farm, a big golden retriever was holding a water pipe and watering the crops. Two big brown rats followed it on both sides. Behind them, they were dragging special small plowing tools on ropes and moving through the fields to loosen the soil for the crops.

If you look closely, you can see a group of bees collecting nectar among the wild flowers along the river with a clear division of labor.

What's wrong with this world? How come all the animals have become spirits when I woke up?

Shane rubbed his eyes and opened his mouth so wide that it seemed like he could swallow a whole goose egg.

He found Sean in a daze and excitedly told him about his discovery.

"Oh, you mean Amber and the two capybaras. It's normal for the animals on my farm to have some talents. There's no need to make a fuss."

Sean's understated words made Shane wonder if this was the way the world was and he was the only one who was abnormal.

Leaving these episodes aside, this time Shane came to show Sean the results of his learning. Originally he was full of pride, but when he saw that even his pet had special skills, he became less confident.

Sean smiled and nodded, then began his spot check.

Shane performed very well throughout the whole process, and it can be seen that he put a lot of effort into it.

"Very good, I'm going to increase the difficulty." Sean was very satisfied.

However, the situation changed after entering the next stage. The questions raised by Sean began to seem ambiguous, and the two of them started a strange conversation of "you talk about the front door building, and I talk about the hip axis."

Shane's brows gradually furrowed, his patience was worn away bit by bit, and his inner irritability became more and more intense like a piece of dry wood that was lit.

"Sean, are you deliberately making things difficult for me? Your questions are completely irrelevant to the content of the product manual you gave me." Finally, Shane couldn't stand it anymore, his face darkened, and he interrupted Sean's question with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone.

You see, it's urgent.

This additional segment was deliberately added to temper Xie En's temper.

Shane, who has a bad temper, was famous for his bad face when he was in Joja. He never had a good face to customers. Although his temper has been restrained a lot now, the service industry is based on attitude, and this is far from enough.

Especially since the people to whom Xie En will be selling fertilizers in the future are all illiterate old farmers, he will definitely encounter these irrelevant problems.

After Sean's explanation, Shane felt that what Sean said made sense.

"You're right, I was too impatient."

Money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat. He whispered, with a barely perceptible compromise in his tone.

Seeing Shane lower his head, Sean immediately changed his expression, and praised him with a smile that his familiarity with fertilizer products had reached the standard.

As she spoke, she took out a jar of honey that she had saved and stuffed it into his hand. The enthusiastic look caught Shane, who was used to keeping a cold face, off guard. He could only hold the honey in his hand and look away at the corner of the wall.

After a few more words of encouragement, Sean changed the subject and started talking about another thing.

"Maru has completed the analysis of the fertilizer's ingredients. Next, I want you to take the samples to Zuzu City to obtain product quality certification and prepare for the relevant procedures for marketing."

Finally, there was a topic to ease his discomfort. Hearing this, Shane patted his chest without hesitation and responded confidently: "Don't worry, Boss! I will go all out this time to ensure that I complete the task!"

The change of the title to "boss" marked the beginning of his official entry into the role of an employee.

Just as Shane was about to go back and get ready to leave, Sean called him again, pulled out a shopping list from his pocket and handed it to him.

Shane looked up at him in confusion, his eyes revealing a warning.

"These are some goods I entrusted you to purchase in the city, including an electric tricycle for you to use at work." Sean explained, "I've been thinking about this these past few days. Although the current conditions are a bit difficult, it's still too unreasonable to let you ride a broken tricycle with human power."

"Also, try to find out the prices of used cars when you go to the city this time, and get one if it's suitable." Sean told him about his plan to start a free driving training course, and told him the price range he had in mind.

So that's how it is. I'll reluctantly help you with this.

Shane recalled his own experiences as a teenager, and felt a little emotional. He decided to hold up an umbrella for others after being caught in the rain.

Naturally, he took this plan, which was beneficial to the town, to heart.

Sean on the other side took out a large stack of cash that he had prepared long ago from the drawer and handed it to Shane: "This money should be enough to cover the purchase and travel expenses. The rest can be used to buy a set of work clothes for yourself in the city."

"After all, I've already resigned from Joja, so it's not a big deal to wear my work clothes there now."

At this time, Shane was still wearing a worn-out sweatshirt with the Joja Corporation logo printed on it.

The sweatshirt had become loose after long-term wearing and washing, and the edges of the collar and cuffs were worn unevenly, revealing mottled threads and a slightly rough fabric lining. The Joja Corporation logo was also worn to the point where it was almost invisible.

Thinking back, the cost of this entire set of clothing was deducted from Shane’s first month’s salary before it was handed over to him.

Because of this incident, the families of the company managers ended up exploding on the spot in Shane's words, which was considered a good ending.

Everything is afraid of comparison. Sometimes some unintentional actions can produce unexpected results. Regarding clothes, Sean's different attitudes from the Joja Group made Shane feel warm in his heart.

It feels good to have someone to give you orders, and Sean became a hands-off boss with a clear conscience.

Pam was slumped on the worn-out sofa, which was also her sleeping place. She was fiddling with an empty wine bottle that she had found from somewhere.

"Mom, Sean plans to find a driving instructor, and I thought... you might want to give it a try." Penny plucked up the courage to tell Pam about Sean's idea.

"Those little brats don't even have a beard yet, and they want to learn how to drive? If something happens, who will be responsible? Me? Or the farmer?" Pam fell into the habit of doing nothing all day and was unwilling to change. She found an excuse to put it off.

"Mom, I know you have plenty of driving experience and won't let these things happen." Penny continued working.

Pam frowned slightly when she heard this, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Teach those half-grown children to drive? I'm afraid I'll be furious before I even teach them. Besides, with my temper, which child wouldn't be afraid of me?"

The essence is that Pam has no confidence in herself and she doesn't have the courage to step out of her comfort zone.

"Mom, it took a lot of effort for Sean to give us this opportunity." Penny was getting anxious, and her tone started to rise. "Besides, you've been doing nothing at home. Being a coach will give you a good salary, and it will also provide us with more security in life."

In response to this, Penny, who always acted like a good girl in front of her mother, broke with her usual attitude and argued with Pam.

"You keep talking about Sean all the time. I think ever since that guy came to Stardew Valley, your mind has been on him. How can you have a place for me as your mother? If you are so biased towards him, why don't you just go find him and stop bothering with me, a burden? Isn't that what you want?"

Pam was hurt when her daughter said that she stayed at home all the time and did nothing. Her self-esteem took over and she couldn't help but get angry.

"How can you say that!" Pam's words pierced Penny's heart like a sharp arrow. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and ran back to the trailer room where she lived.

At this time, Pam also realized that her outspokenness had hurt her daughter, but she was too embarrassed to let go of her face and wanted to reach out to call Penny, but she put her hand down halfway.

She sat uncomfortably on the sofa, sulking to herself.

On both ends of the wall, both people suffered from insomnia.

The next day when Penny opened the door, she was surprised to find that Pam, like her, had tired dark circles under her eyes.

Penny instinctively avoided her mother's gaze and prepared to close the door and leave, but was stopped by Pam's voice.

"Penny, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gotten angry at you." She paused, "Maybe I should find a job. Tell me more about Sean's proposal."

"Mom!" Penny was stunned for a moment when she heard that, then she turned around excitedly and hugged her mother tightly.
