A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 33 Penny
Obviously Willy was immune to Leon's personal attacks, because the fact that he was an old bachelor was true, so this statement was not very offensive. Moreover, Willy liked Leon very much and regarded him as a friend. When his friend said this, he felt that it was a frustrated ridicule rather than a real humiliation or attack on himself.

Faced with Willy's smile, Leon felt embarrassed to continue complaining about Willy. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.

Then Leon began to wonder if he had missed something. He was not someone who had never been in love before, and he knew that girls' emotional expressions were mostly hidden in some details. He recalled Emily's previous attitude.

In the end, Leon was sure that Emily seemed to have a good impression of him. Although it was not strong, if he took advantage of the situation and pursued A, he should be able to achieve good results.

But this was exactly what Leon didn't want to see. At the same time, Leon also remembered the conversation he had with Emily when he gave her the daffodils.

Because of some social habits and bad tastes, his conversations and small interactions at that time were all the means of picking up girls in the past.

It can be used to deal with those well-informed modern girls who have been baptized by various short videos and Xiaohongshu, and it can be used to deal with small-town girls like Emily, which can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack.

But he was really just flirting out of habit. After all, giving gifts to farmers when they meet is something that is ingrained in their DNA, not to mention that the gifts are worthless daffodils.

But this might have some implications that go against Lyon's wishes.

Thinking of this, Leon was a little unsure about how to deal with this matter, but when he saw that Willy had already started enjoying the sea dishes.

Lyon also let it go and let everything develop naturally. The world is big, but the most important thing is to eat.

Sea dishes are a high-calorie food made with sardines and hash browns as the main ingredients. The hash browns are cut into cubes and are crispy and delicious. And because they are made of potatoes, the sweet taste of the hash browns is easily reminiscent of potato chips.

The sardines are also cleaned, wrapped in breadcrumbs and fried. The pepper, salt and sardines' own fresh aroma are evaporated to the maximum extent under high-temperature frying. Coupled with the chili sauce, every bite is a strong stimulation.

This is a high-calorie, high-protein, and extremely filling dish. Gus's cooking skills are trustworthy, so Lyon was very satisfied with this meal.

When it came time to pay for the meal, Lyon didn't feel good. These two sea dishes cost 40 each, which was more expensive than the fish rolls. But at least there was an unexpected income today, so Lyon didn't feel too bad.

What made him feel helpless was that Willy had actually paid for his beer in advance.

This made Leon speechless as he faced Willy who was waiting for him at the door: "Didn't we agree that I would treat you?"

"Yeah, you treat me to dinner and I pay for the drinks, that's reasonable." Willy answered confidently.

"Key, thanks."

After returning Willy's garage key and motorcycle key to Willy, Leon planned to go home directly, but Willy stopped him.

"How about I give it to you?"

Listening to Willy's question, Leon declined: "No, I plan to walk back to digest the food."

Willy didn't try to persuade him much after hearing this. He got on his motorcycle and left. Leon watched Willy leave and turned around to go back to the farm.

However, just as he walked out of the door, Leon heard a very faint sigh. Curiosity made Leon subconsciously look towards the source of the sound. He saw a brown-haired girl wearing a hand-knitted sweater squatting on the ground with great effort, and her slender hands were trying to pull up a short and fat woman lying on the ground.

But the size difference between the two was too big, and the girl's thin body could not compare with the aunt who was several times fatter than her, so all Leon saw was the girl pulling the wrinkles out of the aunt's clothes, but the aunt lay on the ground motionless.

"Do you need help?"

After watching for a while and not seeing the girl make any further progress, Leon stepped forward and asked.

"Ah, no, thank you." The girl was startled by Leon's question, and then when she saw Leon, she answered timidly, stuttering a little, and seemed to be very nervous.

"But it seems difficult for you to provide her with help. Although it is spring, the temperature at night is not very warm. If you keep letting her lie on the ground like this, she might get sick." Leon realized that he seemed to have met a girl with some social anxiety, so he had to remind the girl with reason.

"Yes, I know, but..." The girl looked hesitant when she heard this. She stammered for a long time and couldn't explain it clearly.

And Leon didn't want to see the girl struggling, so he stepped forward and pulled up the woman who had been trying to pull up for a long time but failed. While supporting the woman's shoulders with both hands, Leon also smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

I originally thought it was an accident, but it turned out to be just him being too drunk.

"You're so strong!"

The girl was a little surprised to see this scene. After all, she knew the old lady's weight, but Leon was able to pull her up so easily.

"I don't think you can take her away. Are you her family?" Leon asked the girl while holding up the old lady and preventing her from falling again.

"She is my mother." After saying this, the girl couldn't help but lower her head.

"Where do you live? Let me help you send her back." Leon continued.

The girl was about to refuse, but considering that she really couldn't shake her mother's physique, if she continued to be in a stalemate, she would eventually have to seek help from others. Finally, she nodded and said, "Well, thank you, stranger."

"A stranger? Hahaha, so that's what you're worried about. My name is Leon, the new farmer. I've been living in the old farm for a long time. Don't worry, I'm a good person. If you're still scared, you can go to the bar and ask Gus or Emily. They both know me."

Leon smiled and introduced himself to the girl.

"Oh, you are the new farmer. Although I know you have come to Pelican Town, I have never had the chance to say hello to you. Hello, my name is Penny, and I am a teacher in this town." Upon hearing this, the girl immediately politely called Leon by his name and occupation, which was considered to be in compliance with social etiquette.

Leon nodded: "Then Teacher Penny, please lead the way. I will help you send your mother back."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Penny did not resist Leon's help this time. She didn't know whether it was because she knew Leon's identity or because Leon had become a resident of Pelican Town, so she felt much more at ease. After thanking Leon, she walked ahead.
