"Liya, is this height okay?" A girl with a blue bob haircut stood on tiptoe and held up a poster in front of the bulletin board in the residents' square and asked.

The slender body trembled slightly as it stretched as hard as it could.

"Go a little higher. Don't block other residents' requests." A woman with long orange hair in a ponytail was giving the orders from behind.

"How about this?" The hands holding the poster stretched upward a little more tremblingly.

"Almost there, let me help you up a bit."

"No, I can't reach it even if I stand on tiptoe. Let me ask Caroline to borrow a stool." He lowered his raised hands, and his puffy cheeks were very cute.

It turned out that the two young women were troubled by their height problems and were unable to post posters.

At this time, a pair of hands took the poster from behind, held it high and posted it on the top of the bulletin board.

The two girls turned around hurriedly and saw Sean, who had finished his farm work, changed his clothes and came to Pelican Town to do some business.

"Let me do it. Is this height okay, Emily?" Sean asked the blue-haired woman.

"You are the one from a few nights ago... Sean!" Emily raised her head, looked at Sean's face and thought for a while. Her frown relaxed and her blue eyes widened, revealing surprise.

"Yeah." Sean smiled and nodded to Emily to confirm.

Emily was stunned for a moment, feeling that Sean was still paying attention to her. Suddenly she realized that Sean was still waiting for her answer, and a blush quickly crept up her snow-white face.

"It's fine at this height." A flustered Emily secretly reached out her hand to pull the corner of the clothes of the orange-haired woman behind her, "Leah, what do you think?"

Sean looked past Emily and at the woman with long orange hair behind Emily.

"This is the perfect spot," Leah confirmed after examining it.

Emily and Leah stepped forward and stood side by side with Sean, holding the bottom and middle of the poster with their hands.

Sean tore off the double-sided tape on the back of the poster and pasted it on.

Done, Sean clapped his hands up and down a few times and threw the torn tape into the trash can next to him.

"Xiao Mi Li, when did you meet this handsome guy? Why don't you introduce him to me? Do you want to have it all to yourself?" Two women nearby were whispering to each other.

"How could that be? You know the men in town. He's the farmer who just came back not long ago. He's from the city, just like you." Emily poked Leah's waist with a smirk. "I saw you were about to get close to him just now. Hurry up and settle this important matter."

"Ha! You slutty little girl, I think you are like this, look at my tickle." This caused a lot of laughter and the scene became a mess.

When Sean came back from throwing away the garbage, the two of them quickly returned to their normal form.

Emily acted as a middleman and introduced Leah to Sean so that they could get to know each other.

Sean learned that Leah was an artist who had just graduated from art college. Because she couldn't feel the creative atmosphere in the city, she moved to Stardew Valley a year ago, hoping to find creative motivation in a natural environment. Now she lives alone in a cabin south of Marnie Ranch.

After chatting for a while, Sean said goodbye to the two and walked towards the east of Pelican Town.

Sean came to the blacksmith shop east of Pelican Town. The date agreed a few days ago to pick up the forged items had arrived.

The blacksmith Clint first complained that the drawings Sean provided were too complicated and difficult to make.

While Sean was worried about the poor quality of the finished product, he confidently took out two finished products and placed them in front of Sean.

This wave of showing off his own skills with a pretentious tone made Sean agree and praise again and again. He is simply a master in grasping human nature.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, in order to prevent these two strange-shaped things from attracting other people's attention, Sean found an empty corner, facing the wall and put the two objects into the space.

Continuing to move southwest, across the river, Sean arrived at the post office.

Sean hadn't received a reply to the letter he sent to his parents over a week ago, so he took this opportunity to come over and ask about the situation.

This post office is run by Grandma Evelyn in the town. Grandma Evelyn went to school in the city when she was young. After returning to Stardew Valley, she would help the illiterate elderly in the village write letters to communicate with their relatives in the outside world. She has been doing this for decades.

During this period, relying on the efforts of the townspeople and themselves, Grandma Evelyn contacted the postal system of the outside world and successfully connected with it. In this way, the first post office in Stardew Valley was officially established more than 20 years ago, which is the small wooden house in front of you.

Evelyn relied on the only mechanical typewriter in the cabin, listened to the old man's dictation, and then printed it on the letter paper with the typewriter, while Evelyn's husband George worked as a postman.

Fate is a cruel thing. Years of running around left George with a leg disease and a disability. Now he has to rely on a wheelchair to travel.

Grandma Evelyn was in her seventies and her eyesight was blurry, so she couldn't hold on for much longer.

The only daughter got married and for some reason there was no news of her. If Evelyn's grandson Alex had not returned to Pelican Town two years ago, the residents of Pelican Town would have almost forgotten Evelyn's daughter.

Now Alex has taken over the post office and replaced George as the postman.

Alex's distant cousin Haji dropped out of junior high school prematurely, and had to face the burden of life before he reached adulthood. Now he works for Grandma Evelyn.

Sean learned all this from Haji the last time he came to the post office to deliver letters, after he became familiar with him.

Children are always full of yearning for the prosperous world outside. After Sean told him about life in the outside city, he kept pestering Sean, and after a while he got all the information out of him.

Sean walked into the post office and found that only Haji was there, sorting the mail.

Sensing a change in light, Haji looked up and saw Sean.

"Brother, why are you here? Tell me how you caught a group of snakes with your bare hands. That's awesome." Haji dropped the letter and rushed to Sean. He pulled up Sean's sleeve and walked towards the seat, staring at Sean with admiring eyes.

After all, he is a child and can't hide his thoughts. When he saw Sean, he couldn't wait to ask what he wanted to know most.

[Ah? When did I become so powerful? How come I didn't know it myself? ]

Sean was stunned when he heard this. On the surface, he remained calm and sat down with Haji. He thought to himself and silently made a note of Pierre. He must have contributed to the spread of the rumor.

"There weren't that many snakes. There were three of them surrounding me in a V-shaped formation. I slid and tackled them..."

As Haji clenched his hands, Sean told his own version of the story of outsmarting the snakes.

"Any news about the letter I sent last week?" After satisfying Haji's curiosity, Sean finally found an opportunity to get back to business.

"The temperature has risen recently and the snow has melted. The General Post Office in Valencia is worried about avalanches and landslides along the way, so it has suspended the postal route to Stardew Valley."

Haji said a little embarrassedly, "The route can only be restored after the snow on the mountains melts in the spring."

It turned out that the postal line was broken, and there was nothing to do here. No wonder only Haji was watching here, and Grandma Evelyn was nowhere to be seen.

After receiving the news, Sean prepared to go home and conduct reconnaissance in the coal mine forest as usual.

"Brother, do you know it's the Feast of Winter Veil? Alex went out to post posters today without taking me with him, leaving me here alone to watch over the post office." Haji said with some resentment.

“There will also be an ice fishing competition that day, on the lake south of the Coal Mine Forest,” Haji continued.

[Ice fishing competition, the lake south of the coal mine forest, isn't that right next to the Explorers Guild's blockade area?] Sean thought to himself, and he stopped himself from leaving after hearing this.
