Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

Chapter 29 Penny's Concern

Coming back from Willy's, Sean walked through the town's streets and came to the bulletin board in the town square.

With a ripping sound, he withdrew the commission he had issued earlier and threw it into the trash can beside him. The task had been completed, so there was no need for this commission to continue to exist.

Just as Sean was about to leave, a newly posted notice caught his attention: [Arrangements for clearing the mud and rocks accumulated on Baidu Peak and restoring the road to normalcy, etc. - Mayor Lewis.]

Sean read the notice carefully, feeling pleased with the progress of post-disaster reconstruction. It seemed that Mayor Lewis and the townspeople were also busy, working hard to make the town's external communication channels smooth as soon as possible.

Below the announcement, there was a wooden table, and his eyes were attracted by the donation box on the wooden table.

There was a note on the box that read: [Donate to the town co-construction fund to help with post-disaster reconstruction.]

Under the box was a piece of cardboard explaining the reason for the donation: [The town is in financial difficulty and its income is not enough to cover its expenses. At the call of the mayor, everyone volunteered to clean up the mud and rocks. The progress is going smoothly, but the damaged road surface and guardrail repairs are in urgent need of money. We also ask the villagers to contribute to the future of the town. ]

Sean realized later that the town’s financial situation had fallen into such a predicament.

Although he was new here and didn't have much money, Sean still took out dozens of banknotes of different denominations from his space and collected 200G. Uneasy, he counted again and put it into the donation box.

"Just consider it as the cost of volunteering during these few days." Sean comforted himself in this way, and used it to convince himself to take out this considerable sum of money from the little money he had left to support the construction of the town.

At this time, Penny, who was sending her children home after the teaching activity, passed by.

When she saw Sean donating money, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes. She came from a poor family and could not donate as generously as others.

When she was young, what she feared most was the fundraising activities organized by the school. She would listen to her friends next to her bragging about how much they had donated, and then look at the small pieces of money she was holding tightly in her hands, all of which were saved by herself on a daily basis. She couldn't help but feel a little upset.

In addition, she couldn't let her bad-tempered mother know about the donation, otherwise she would be scolded by her mother.

Such as: "Your family is so poor, and you still have money to donate?", or "Why are you so ignorant? Don't you know that every penny we earn is hard-earned? You still want to donate it? I think you want to make our whole family starve!"

These words pierced her young heart like needles. Therefore, every time she encountered a fundraising event, Penny would feel extremely entangled and painful.

She is also well aware of her family situation and understands her mother's hard work and difficulties, but she also longs to contribute her own strength to those in need like other children.

In particular, the mother and daughter have always been taken care of by the residents of Pelican Town.

At this time, Sean also noticed Penny and the little girl beside her, who looked a little dazed. Seeing her staring at the donation box, he probably guessed something in his heart.

Out of respect for others' privacy, Sean did not point it out. He walked up to Penny and greeted her with a smile: "What a coincidence, are you sending the kids home? Thank you so much for helping me a few days ago, otherwise I would have been hungry."

Penny carefully put away her lonely expression. She didn't want anyone to feel pity for her because of her family situation. She quickly showed a warm smile on her face and replied, "Neighbors should be kind to each other. This is all I can do."

Looking at the little girl who was looking at him curiously with her big round eyes, Penny could sense her sensitive self-esteem and low mood. "Children are still free and unrestrained." Sean sighed for no reason.

Hearing this, Penny showed a smile from the bottom of her heart: "Yes, I like being with children very much. Their innocent smiles always make me forget all my worries."

"Really?" Sean squatted down and spread his hands to indicate that he had nothing in his hands. Then he said to the little girl next to Penny, "Come! Look here, Brother Sean is performing magic!"

After saying that, he opened his palm and a pig-shaped candy appeared in his palm.

It turned out that Sean used his spatial ability to transfer the candy into his hands while they were closed.

"This is from magician brother Sean, a reward for good kids." Sean handed the candy to the child.

The child's eyes suddenly lit up, his round face still had some baby fat, and he was so cute that you wanted to pinch him.

She stared at the candy, looking like she really wanted it.

But as Sean handed the candy closer, she was a little shy and subconsciously hid behind Penny's thigh. She held on to Penny's trouser leg tightly, and raised her head to secretly glance at Penny, who was staring at the candy with her round eyes, looking conflicted.

Penny squatted down and gently stroked the little girl's head: "Jas, this is big brother Sean. He is the hero of this rescue operation that Teacher Penny told you about."

Penny took the candy from Sean, and their fingertips touched lightly. Penny's fingers were cold and white, but with a hint of roughness from doing housework, which left a deep impression on Sean.

A slight blush quickly appeared on her face, and Penny stuffed the candy into Jas's hand: "Brother Sean, you are so awesome. You can beat ten big monsters like this. This is a reward from Brother Sean for obedient children. Hurry up and say thank you to Brother Sean." Then she turned around and vividly described the appearance of the monsters to Jas.

"Fight monsters! Fight monsters! Brother Sean, take me to fight monsters!" The little girl Jas waved her hands excitedly, her round face full of anticipation and excitement.

There was a gleam of innocence in her eyes, as if she had already imagined herself fighting monsters with her brother Sean.

Sean couldn't help laughing when he saw Jas's cute appearance. He reached out and gently touched Jas's head, picked her up and let her sit on his shoulders.

The little girl, Jas, waved her hands excitedly and giggled.

"Come on, Brother Sean will take you to fight monsters." As soon as Sean finished speaking, Jas danced on Sean's shoulders, as if he was already in a world full of fantasy and adventure.

Penny couldn't help but smile warmly as she watched this scene. She sincerely felt Sean's love for children.

"Let's go together. We can take her back to Marnie's ranch on the way," Penny suggested.

Sean nodded, and they started their journey home together.

In the afterglow of dusk, their shadows were stretched out, and their conversation was endless, just like the shadows that grew longer and longer in the sunset.

The golden sunset shone on them, warm and cozy.

-----------------

As night fell, in the farm's warehouse, Sean stood quietly, wrapped tightly in a set of black adventure gear, his eyes firm and deep.

The one-week cooldown period was about to end, and the countdown for the exploration of the alien space kept echoing in Sean's mind. He took a deep breath and communicated with the God Tree system.

Instantly, a dazzling white light flashed, and the entire warehouse was as bright as day. A crack appeared in the air, as if connecting to another mysterious world.

Sean stepped forward without hesitation, his body was tightly wrapped in the light, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
