father - home

I have been to Yu's vegetable field, but in three weeks, the appearance here is completely different.At that time, there was no green shadow in the plowed and leveled field, and the old housekeeper was worried about whether the seedlings would emerge.Now, white and yellow flowers are dotted among the tall and low, deep and shallow green plants.It's just that the heavy rain yesterday caused many young vegetable seedlings to fall to the ground, and a lot of flowers were knocked down, embedded in the soil and ruined.The old housekeeper, Mr. Reininger, was working on the tree stand, tying the seedlings that needed support to the wooden poles with strings; Yu, wearing the wide-brimmed straw hat with a red ribbon, squatted on the ground, helping the fallen vegetable seedlings up, Cultivate new soil.But what about Zhao?Where is Joseph?Except for the old man and the girl, there was no one else in the vegetable field.

I want to ask, but when I think of the dissatisfaction in my mother's words just now; and the feelings that should be taken into consideration; although Mr. Reininger has never shown expressions or emotions, he is also a victim, so how could he have no thoughts?So I abruptly swallowed the words that came to my lips. "Good afternoon, everyone! My mother said that there was a heavy rain last night, and it seems that the disaster is quite serious."

"Oh, the young master is back. No, it rained heavily yesterday, and it continued to fall until the early hours of this morning...Master, you don't need to be busy, we'll be fine."

Seeing me rolling up my shirt sleeves, the old housekeeper hurriedly spoke to dissuade me.

I froze for a moment and couldn't help laughing secretly.I don't want to help them work, I just run all the way to get hot, this is good, I can't do it anymore. "It's okay. I'm idle anyway. In such a hot day, I need one more person to work faster."

I strode into the vegetable field.After a night of heavy rain, the water in the vegetable field had just been drained, and the soil was still quite wet. As soon as I stepped on the leather boots, it was stained with mud.I looked down, a little regretful.Why are you in such a hurry, you don't change your clothes, you come here in such a hurry, no one sees you, and you don't dare to ask.

After my father passed away, there was no ban on changing to the SS uniform immediately after returning to the manor, so I was lazy, usually just took off my military cap and coat, no, I still wore shiny leather boots and breeches, and With a snow-white shirt, it can be seen that he is not here to work.

"Oh, master, how good this is, the boots are all dirty."

"Work always needs to be dirty, just brush it clean."

"Yes, yes, it's all right now, Joseph is back, you don't have to brush it yourself."

What's going on here?You have to think before and after what you say, is it so unpleasant to listen to what others say?But who can blame this?The old housekeeper must not have meant it, he is not the mother.

The weather was sweltering, and I was a little irritable. I accidentally glanced at Yu, and she happened to look up at me.As soon as the eyes met, Yu hurriedly lowered her head, but I could see clearly that there was obvious resentment in that gaze.Did she know about Joseph?Are you complaining about Zhao?who told herBut if she really knew, she should be happy.Zhao is hers after all.Why should she still resent?Oh, what a mess!I shook my head, pulled myself together, and helped with the work.

I have almost never done farm work, but it is not difficult. According to the old housekeeper, I can learn it soon.However, the simple and boring movements were repeated again and again, and I was exposed to the scorching sun. Soon, I felt my cheeks were hot, and beads of sweat dripped down my temples.I peeked at them both.Yu's face was hidden under the big straw hat, so she couldn't see clearly.As for the old butler, his face was ruddy, his expression was serene, his eyes were closed, and he was still humming a little song, very relaxed, comfortable and contented.The old man wore a straw hat, a plaid shirt, blue overalls, and a pair of muddy rubber boots.He was dressed like a naughty boy in the black Sunday communion suit.Although he doesn't have any restrained or awkward expression, I always feel a little funny when I look at him.In my memory, it seems that the old butler has never worn such clothes.In the past, there were several gardeners in the family, and there were special people responsible for the work in the manor, the vineyard, the wine cellar, and the stables. Mr. Reininger never did these heavy and rough jobs, but he was the manor of the manor. One of the busiest people here.Dozens of people from top to bottom of the manor greeted and sent them off non-stop, and held various celebrations and dances. The old butler was the commander in chief.He is strict in doing things, and he is also meticulous in his clothes.For a while, I even wondered if he couldn't bend over, bend his legs, or move the muscles on his face.I told my mother about this doubt, but it caused her to burst into laughter.I suddenly came up with a childish prank idea: I really want to take off the old man's straw hat and see if his hair is still shiny and uncluttered.

At this moment, as if someone had told the old housekeeper what I was thinking, the old man took off his straw hat, put it on for me without any explanation, and muttered: "Oh, master, you will be sunburned if you don't wear a hat." Bad. Look at me, I'm so old-fashioned."

"No! No! I'm fine." After I put back the straw hat already on the old man's head, I regretfully remembered that I hadn't seized the opportunity to pay attention to the old housekeeper's hair just now.

I was a little dumbfounded, a little flustered, and a little moved.The old butler still treats me like a child!how so?He was rarely so emotionally charged.I suddenly found that the old butler had changed a lot, because I felt something, something I had always longed for.It can be said that I was brought up by the old housekeeper, but in the past years, no matter from him or from my father, I only realized the strictness of father's love, but rarely felt the kindness of father's love .But at this moment, my heart was warmed by the fatherly love naturally revealed by the old man.

Joseph and Akira are on my mind.After waiting for a while, the old housekeeper and Yu seemed to be focused on the work at hand, and no one was going to tell me where Joseph had gone.Indeed, looking at these seedlings, the leaves are shining emerald green in the sun, and the straight stems are striving to grow, from the seeds into the soil, to the germination, planting and fertilization; saving them from natural disasters is a kind of life vigorous and tenacious.Watching them cleanses our souls...but I...

"Mr. Reininger, the grapes are about to be harvested. Did the rain yesterday affect the grapes?"

"Oh, yes, sir, it rained too much yesterday, and Madam was worried, but fortunately Joseph came back. This morning they drained all the water in the east and south gardens, and dug through The drainage ditch, no matter how heavy the rain will be in the future, I won’t be afraid.”

"What about them?"

"Oh, they went to the North Garden. Although there is a steep slope and there is usually no water accumulation, Joseph said that he should go and have a look and dig the drainage ditch."

There are three vineyards in the manor, east garden, south garden and north garden. The north garden is located in the north of the manor, and there is a long way in the past.Joseph should have gone on horseback.I was just about to ask: Is Zhao with Joseph?Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper went on to say: "It's really time for Joseph to come back. Without him, this year's grapes and these vegetables would all suffer."

Joseph and I grew up together, and he has always been much more important to the family than I am.I am used to hearing people praise him, father, mother, Mr. and Mrs. Reininger, even if they know about our relationship, people will only feel sorry for him, but they have never had disgust or hatred, and no one has ever slandered him. Taste.Although I always feel a lot of negative things, I am still very happy to hear people praise Joseph. This is a habit and a matter of course.Joseph should be praised and respected, so let all the abuse and slander come at me. I am the chief culprit of moral corruption. I should bear all the responsibilities. Let me taste the loneliness and bitterness alone. I deserve it.

I want to ask: How is Joseph?He's not hurt, is he?how does he lookThin?old?He should be 32 years old.
