Chapter 132: It Was Time to Sow the Spring Wheat

It was time to sow the spring wheat, so the farmers were hunched over as they worked their way back and forth across their fields of tilled soil. Though the grain would fall a bit short of the recent yield in terms of flavor, this crop would be ready for harvest come autumn, which made it an indispensable resource to help the villagers survive the winter.

The wheat seeds were planted in furrows in the soil made with sticks. The seeds would scatter if dropped from too high up, so they had to be spread from close to the ground—hence why everyone was crossing the field hunched over.

Staple foods like wheat were grown as a collaborative effort among the villagers. Belgrieve would often go to help at one field or another; today, he was tasked with sowing wheat.

The fields on the western side of the village, which had been devastated by the invasion of the living forest a year ago, had finally been renewed. Half of those fields were now filled with young wheat seedlings swaying in the breeze, fresh and green. Half of the land had been set aside for today, when the villagers would work from the crack of dawn to sow the spring wheat. It was quiet out, the silence only broken by the distant braying of a donkey.

After he had sown the last of the seeds in his hand, Belgrieve stood up to stretch out his back. He leaned his weight onto his left leg while he bent his torso backward. He could feel his back loosening up with every cracking sound it made.

“Phew...” He took a moment to catch his breath before taking another handful of wheat from the pouch on his hip. It was when he was doing farmwork like this that it truly came home to him that he had returned to Turnera.

A little over a week had passed since Angeline and her friends had left for Orphen. The strange sense of isolation he had felt after the exuberance of their presence was gone had since faded somewhat. As he pushed onward with his daily work, his mind steadily returned to its regular rhythm.

The critical difference was the presence of his comrades. Their memory had once been a thorn wedged into his heart, but now they were here with him, residing under the same roof and eating at his table. It was quite a strange and peculiar change for him, considering the long years he’d spent living alone ever since Angeline had first left home for the big city.

He turned to see Percival lugging a basket on his back while the twins dangled from his arms. They were no burden to him; it could just as easily have been five children without breaking a sweat. Even having two hanging off of each arm wouldn’t have slowed him down much. The kids would clamber all over him for their own amusement, climbing onto his shoulders and enjoying the ride.
