Sean walked briskly back to his farm in the dawn light. The fresh air was mixed with the fragrance of the soil, and the mountains in the distance looked particularly peaceful and beautiful under the reflection of the morning sun.

"What a strange person, but surprisingly easy to get along with." Sean smiled and shook his head, thinking back to his previous encounter with Sebastian.

Although the behavior of the guy who was drinking alone by the river late at night was a little difficult to understand, it was surprisingly natural and easy to get along with him.

The result of the commission for renting land and selling fertilizers will not be announced until three days later. Penny's worries have been temporarily relieved. At the same time, it is not convenient for her to intervene too much in the family affairs between her and her mother at this moment.

In the greenhouse, the neatly arranged rows of carrot seedlings are growing healthily and vigorously according to the established procedures. The production of Jinkela fertilizer has been almost completed, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan.

It seems like there is really nothing to do next?

However, once Sean had some free time after days of busy work, he suddenly found himself at a loss as to what to do.

"How about starting a vegetable garden?" he said to himself, a gleam of inspiration in his eyes. Once the idea appeared, it lingered in his mind.

Sean decided to act immediately. He pushed his cart and headed to the bamboo forest on the mountain to cut some bamboo to make a fence for the vegetable garden.

"Amber! Come!" he shouted into the distance. Soon, a vigorous big yellow dog ran over and circled around Sean.

Although the process of cutting bamboo was a bit hard, Sean enjoyed it. He held a sharp machete and shuttled through the dense bamboo forest. Every swing of the machete was accurate and powerful.

Amber was playing around, chasing fallen bamboo leaves, digging holes in the ground, or leaving its own unique scent along the way.

As the machete rose and fell, the green bamboos fell one by one. Sean tied the cut bamboos together and put them on a cart to transport them back to the farm.

Back at the farm, Sean got busy.

In order to let Amber feel some involvement in the development of the new farm, Sean asked her to stand aside with a tape measure in her mouth, providing a basis for him to measure the scope of the vegetable garden.

With Amber's "help", Sean divided out an acre of vegetable garden in front of the yard of his wooden house.

He drove the iron nail into the ground, untied the hemp rope tied to it, and pulled out a straight line as the reference line for making the bamboo fence.

Then take out two bamboos that are over one meter long and insert them into the ground on both sides of the hemp rope in the shape of a "human". Insert a pair of bamboos every ten centimeters.

Then, at the intersection above the bamboo, a bamboo beam is fixed horizontally with hemp rope to keep the whole structure firm. In this way, a simple bamboo fence is completed.

The next step was to hoe the ground and loosen the soil. After a busy day, these tasks were finally completed.

In the evening, with Pierre's smile on his face, Sean, who had bought the seeds, walked out of Pierre's grocery store.

Just as he was about to return to the farm, suddenly, a young orange-haired woman in the town square covered her forehead, her body swayed slightly, and then slowly sat down on the ground.

Sean recognized the woman as Claire, who worked at Joja Mart. She was the one who paid for Sean's first shopping trip to Joja Mart.

Startled, Sean quickly walked forward, squatted down, and asked Claire about her situation in a low voice.

Claire slowly raised her head, showing an awkward smile, and explained: "Oh, it's Sean. I'm fine, I just have a little hypoglycemia. I suddenly felt dizzy just now, and I fell down without standing steadily." She told Sean that she was fine and just needed to rest for a while, and asked Sean to go back first and not to worry about her.

However, Sean looked at Claire's pale face and thin body, and she didn't look okay at all.

"Judging from your face, you seem to be fine. Do you want me to call Dr. Harvey?" Sean asked with some concern.

"No! No need." Claire was a little excited when she heard Sean say he was going to call a doctor, but then she reacted and softened her tone, "No, no, I'll just go to the Star Bar to eat something."

Seeing Claire's somewhat excited reaction, Sean didn't insist: "Come on, can you stand up?" Sean reached out and supported her arm so that she could have leverage.

Claire struggled to stand up, but she was obviously still very weak.

The two slowly walked towards the Star Bar, and Sean talked about Claire's work on the way.

Claire sighed, "It's OK, but sometimes I have to do everything by myself, from putting the goods in the warehouse, to putting them on the shelves, and checking out. It's a bit tiring. And I've been on a diet recently, so I have low blood sugar."

Sean frowned, "You have to pay attention to your body when you diet, and don't overdo it."

Claire fell silent after hearing this.

The two of them came to the Star Bar. Since it was only evening, the bar was still deserted.

Apart from Emily and Gus at the front desk, only Penny's mother Pam was sitting in the corner drinking alone.

Sean helped Claire to the front desk, and Claire quietly ordered a healthy mixed salad from Gus.

He had already fainted, and yet he ordered this kind of food. No wonder he had low blood sugar.

Sean looked at the food Claire ordered and didn't know what to say, but since he and Claire were not that familiar with each other, and out of respect for her living habits, Sean did not say anything to stop her.

"Okay, 18G in total." Gus replied cheerfully.

"Wasn't it 14G last time we ordered it?" Claire asked with a painful frown.

"You're talking about this. The vegetable supplier has raised the price again recently. There's nothing we can do about it. We're running a small business." Gus sighed helplessly.

Claire was a little hesitant. She was poor and didn't have enough money with her. If she paid for the meal, she would have no money to take the bus home.

"What's wrong? Not enough money?" Sean noticed that something was wrong with her.

Claire nodded awkwardly and responded in a mosquito-like voice: "Well, I didn't bring enough money, so forget about this salad. I won't eat it."

Sean looked at her disappointed expression and had an idea: "Gus, give me two healthy salads. I didn't have dinner either, so let's consider this meal as a celebration of our official acquaintance."

To reassure Claire, Sean continued, "Just ask you to come back next time. It's not a gentleman's behavior to see a beautiful lady hungry."

After saying that, he took off his hat and bowed to Claire.

The dinner ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and Sean learned a lot about Claire through the conversation.

She lives in a village near Pelican Town and takes the bus to work in Joja on weekdays. She has a dream of being on the screen, so she diets to keep in shape and works hard to pursue her dream one day.

"Ah! We're almost missing the last bus." Suddenly, Claire realized something and stood up. "Sorry!" She bowed to Sean apologetically and explained to him the reason.

"Ah? No need to send me off. I'm almost recovered." She was a little flustered and declined Sean's offer to send her off again.

Then she hurried to the bus stop. When she reached the door of the pub, she turned around and shouted to Sean, "Thank you so much for today. Don't forget to treat me next time!"

When she saw Sean waving in response, she smiled, then turned around and trotted away.
