There are hills of straw piled on the fields under the setting sun. Broken wheat straw sections still remain on the ground after the wheat harvest. Stepping on them one by one is not as smooth as before before harvesting.
Feng Nai sat on a stone pillar under the tree, watching the afterglow of the sunset spread across the world, casting long shadows on the hills made of wheat straw.
The harvest is finally finished.
This was her first time participating in field work. Although she wanted to give up halfway, she persisted because of her meager self-esteem.
I must take a good bath when I go back today. Feng Na starts to miss the shower in the student dormitory, but Servais also has a bathtub at home, but it will take more time to boil the water.
The residents of the town put the wheat straw on carts and sent it to the nearby barn for storage. The next step was to thresh it.
Penny came over with a bunch of ears of wheat.
"Miss, how do you feel about today's work?" She leaned down, put her hands on her knees, and looked at this young lady who was different from the past.
"The only thing I feel now is that I don't want to do anything, so I just take a shower, eat something and lie on the bed."
"It's nice to still remember to eat." Penny smiled.
"Has Feng Na ever eaten wheat grains?"
"Of course I have eaten wheat."
"It's either bread made from flour, or ears of wheat." Penny shook the ears of wheat in her hand. This bunch was different from the golden ears of wheat in the field. It was still green, and seemed not to be fully mature.
"Follow me." Penny pulled Feng Nao to a windy place, then picked up a few wheat straws left on the ground, put them together and lit them, a burst of green smoke rose along with the smell of smoke, and then
A weak flame ignited.
As the personal maid of the eldest lady of the Anemii family, although she is not at the top level, she still has Sequence 2. She can easily heat up things and better serve her master.
"Is this going to happen?" Feng Nai looked at Penny with some confusion.
"It's just roasted wheat ears."
Penny took the green bunch of wheat ears and put them on the open fire to smoke. Soon the green smoke started to rise, and occasionally there was a burst of crackling explosions. As the flames burned, Penny turned the wheat ears in her hands.
, let it heat evenly, and then a faint fragrance floats out.
"alright."
Penny took off the bunch of wheat ears. The originally green outer shell of the ears was covered with a layer of charred black. The smoky smell spread in the air, and a little white ash floated and fell in the air.
"Do you want to try it? It's actually pretty good."
After it cooled down slightly, Penny put the wheat ears into the palm of her hand and started rubbing them. The dust and soft skin also fell off. Then Penny opened her palm and let Feng Na pick out the wheat kernels and eat them.
Feng Nai tried one out of curiosity, and a glutinous and sweet feeling spread on the tip of his tongue. Although the weight was not large, the taste was very novel.
"Can wheat still be eaten like this?" She reached out and took the roasted wheat ears from Penny's hand, and ate the small ones.
"Yes, but it can only be unripe green wheat ears. The mature wheat kernels are relatively hard, so it is not good to eat them like this. Besides, there will be a lot of black ash when roasted, so those noble people will not try it."
“However, the taste is really novel.”
When Feng Nai was eating, her fingers were stained with some black ash. Now the eldest lady is less innocent and unconcerned with the world, and more sunny and beautiful.
"As long as you like it, there are actually many novel and interesting things in the world." Penny stood next to Feng Nai and said, as the sun gradually set, dragonflies flew in the fields under the afterglow of the sunset.
"Thanks."
Feng Nai knew that Penny was enlightening her. After these two years of traveling and living outside, she had gradually come out of the sadness of the past.
Although everything in the family has dissipated, at least she is still alive, right? Just like this field, even if it gets dark, the sunset is still beautiful, and until tomorrow, the sun will still rise, and new life will be born on the earth.
.
"After graduation, I will travel around the world, and then return to Hopeland, say hello to Melu, and tell her about my experiences over the years."
"After that, we will go to other places and run the Anemii family again."
She took off her hat, stood up, and looked into the distance side by side with Penny, letting her light red hair sway in the evening breeze.

Temple College, Singing Church.
The afternoon sun shone through the stained glass windows, and men and women dressed in white stood on the steps practicing singing as they prepared for the upcoming winter festival party.
There are a few students and teachers sitting on the rows of chairs below. They listen to the performance above and occasionally point out areas that can be improved.
In the last row of the church, two girls sat side by side.
"Does Luo Xier usually have classes and sing here?" Frocia sat next to the silver-haired girl and turned around and asked.
"Yeah, but I don't usually sing." Although she is known as a legendary singer, Lorraine Hill is shy and usually does not take the initiative to perform.
"You don't have to sing too well, just pass the standard. Your voice is very dominant." Frocia thought Lorraine Hill was afraid that she could not sing well.
"Well... although I don't sing in public much, I can still hum." In fact, she does hum a short tune when she is alone.
Ever since the Melody Crown Luvici performed last year, she has fallen into an abnormal state due to the influence of the power of the Chaos Phantom. Her performance has declined significantly, and in this year's Melody Crown competition, she also lost to other members of the new generation.
Diva.
And this new generation of singer has now come to invite Luo Xier to join this year's winter festival party.
Faced with such an invitation, Lorraine Hill, who had an appointment with Frosia, of course readily agreed, and almost a few people began to participate in the rehearsal.
As the finale of this winter party, not only Lorraine Hill, this new generation of melody crown also invited several celebrities and powerful people in the academy, including herself, a total of seven people will take the stage.
"We're almost there."
While the choir was taking a break, a girl in the front row walked over. She had slightly dark skin, short white hair, and a small earring on one ear. Her dressing style was also very neutral.
And there are metal corners and decorations on the clothes. This is the current owner of Emenas Melody Crown, Jan Di, known as "The Sound of Explosion".
"Lu Shuang said she would be here later." A girl with the same light brown skin stood up, it was Ling Xin.
"Oh, since Sister Ling Xin said that, it shouldn't be a big problem." Jian Di is shorter than Ling Xin and not as tall as her.
"Then let me introduce it to you first. Later, when Lu Shuang comes, I will help her fill it in." This girl with a somewhat tomboy personality clapped her palms to attract everyone's attention.
"Welcome everyone to participate in this Winter Festival Gala hosted and designed by me. I feel very honored to see everyone preparing so seriously. You must have watched all the programs this year, and the finale that many people are most concerned about is
Performance, I will briefly introduce it here.”
"The last one to take the stage will be a performance by seven singers. The seven singers are me, Frocia, Lu Shuang, Ling Xin, Wei Miya, Luo Xier, and Igri."
"I believe that just by looking at the members of this team, you will know what an unprecedented performance this is, and this time our goal is not only to hold the Winter Festival Gala, but also to make it a historic event in the history of Hermenes
monument!"
The new crown of melody changed his tone from low to high, which immediately aroused the emotions of the students in the church. There were also waves of expectant and excited cheers in the venue.
