How to Save a Failed Farm

Lance didn't want his father to be slandered, and he didn't want to argue with his grandfather, so he could only be sad and silent.

Mrs. Banks gave her husband a reproachful look, and said encouragingly: "The farm now is completely different from when your father bought it. You are both very good young men, but won't this be too tiring? ?” She still said worriedly, “Although I don’t know much about business, the Banks family must be able to help you.”

Naturally, they couldn't explain anything to the two old people who had been pampered all their lives, and they weren't the only ones who complained about Lance's choice of career.

Every English-style manor probably has an omnipotent, unsmiling and loyal old butler. The butler of Westanley Manor, John, is older than his master Banks and has been serving him since childhood. The young master is the most powerful person in this manor besides the Banks couple.

Lance's mother, Miss Margaret, was the youngest and most beloved child in the manor. Lance often lived with his mother in the manor when he was young. It can be said that John grew up under his care.After Margaret passed away, Lance moved to the United States with his father on the other side of the ocean, and rarely came back, so John was especially fond of him. Although he looked very serious, he often showed a kind smile to Lance .

He quite disapproved of Lance staying on the farm and working all day like a countryman, and scolded him: "Is your manner lost in the cornfields of the United States? When you were a child, you couldn't walk with your back bent."

"Miss Margaret is very sad to see you like this. How can you go to the field yourself?"

"Your hands are full of calluses, which is really inappropriate."

Although his old-fashioned style makes Lance a little uncomfortable, he is still full of gratitude for the old man who has taken care of him for a long time.It’s just that John was not so easy-going towards Ye Qun. At first, Ye Qun didn’t care, until one day he and Mrs. Banks talked about the American diet. He embarrassed himself and said that he was not good at cooking. Mrs. Banks said with a smile John is a good crafter and you can teach him.

Of course John didn't reject the old lady's proposal, but after Ye Qun went back, he couldn't help but said to Lance: "I don't think John likes me very much."

"Why do you say that?" Lance explained carefully, "You must be thinking too much, John is like this to everyone, he cares about you, but he doesn't express it well - he even asked me about your taste Woolen cloth."

"Is that so?" Ye Qun asked suspiciously, "But today he taught me a way of dying...Looking at the Starry Sky School."

"I understand that you all have some misunderstandings about this dish. Its appearance is indeed not that good..." Lance said sincerely, "It's actually not bad, I liked it very much when I was young..."

His expression was so serious that Ye Qun had no choice but to believe that he was telling the truth.

In the next few days, John still dutifully taught him how to cook, and these dishes will be much more normal.John is a strict teacher, but Ye Qun found that there are some differences between the methods he taught and the recipes. When he asked about it, John replied: "Master Lance prefers this taste."

Well, Ye Qun understands, John really has no prejudice against him, he just wants Ye Qun to learn all the dishes that Lance likes as much as possible.He was thankful that John didn't know that Lance was cooking most of the time on the farm, otherwise he would have been secretly sad for the little master's current situation again.

Ye Qun and Lance lived in the manor for half a month. Before leaving, they told Mrs. Banks: "We plan to go back."

"I know." Mrs. Banks' voice was low and sad, "Your luggage is packed so neatly."

Lance took her thin body into his arms: "We will be back."

"It's just that my old bones don't know if I can wait for that day." She pressed her handkerchief to her eyes and choked up, "My last wish in this world is to see you happy. Neither you nor other children Same, Lancy, not with us for so many years."

Ye Qun was also heartbroken when he saw it. The early death of his parents made him long for family and affection most in his life. He hated such a scene the most. At night, he asked Lance with a little melancholy: "What can we do to make Avni Feel better? Maybe stay a few days longer? Mrs. Joseph, please send the sandwiches?"

"Probably because he saw us getting married." Lance raised his confused eyes.

"Then we'll get married." Ye Qun's voice was sure and calm.

Lance raised his head in surprise: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, you still don't want to?" Ye Qun joked.

Then he saw Lance kneel down on one knee, his expression was solemn and pious, as if he was holding not a diamond ring in a black velvet box, but his sincere and fresh heart: " Baby, will you marry me?"

His eyes were a little clear and light-colored because of the bright light, Ye Qun's head was rusted like a machine for a moment, he couldn't think about other things, his heart was beating like thunder, the whole world seemed to be a pantomime, he could only hear a voice:

"I am willing."

And when he woke up, Lance and Afni were in collusion. How could anyone carry a diamond ring with them?Still his size, it must have been changed long ago.But at this time they were already standing on the vast green grass of Westanley Manor. A wedding was held here a few days ago, and now those guests have gone and returned, but the protagonist of the wedding has been replaced by them.

Because they are two men, in order to avoid embarrassment, there is no complicated ceremony.Together, they walked from the end of the long blanket to the priest standing under the rose trellis, and listened to him read out the romantic and sacred vows.

"I do." Lance's answer was firm and clear, his face reflected in the warm amber eyes, and only him.

His heart stopped suddenly.

After being misdiagnosed with cancer, he learns not to think about tomorrow.He also never imagined that one day he would stand here with Lance.The future has always been illusory in his eyes, and it does not remind him of morning coffee or a sweet apple, but after meeting Lance, it was like having a key, and his eyes began to become clear.He thought that many years later, they would be gray-haired and help each other to water the flowers and plants.And at this moment, all imagination becomes an eternal promise.

He said that commitment equally firmly and clearly: "Yes, I do."

"God bless this ring, and that the giver and the receiver will remain faithful to each other and love each other until the end of their lives."

They exchanged rings amid blessings.The moment the shiny diamond ring slipped into the root of the finger, the oath spoken under the witness of the priest was forever concluded between them.

"The Eternal God, Creator and Guardian of all things, who gave us the noble spirit, who enjoys eternal life, will protect this couple. They will fulfill their vows, and this ring will be a witness to live forever in peace and peace. In peace, follow God's will, Amen."

The priest put their hands together: "May the two whom God has united, never be separated."

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I declare them officially married, Amen."

"The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit will bless you and give you grace and peace of mind, so that you will live your life and welcome the arrival of eternal life."

Then the priest announced that they could kiss each other, a lingering kiss, accompanied by solemn music and recitation, for a long and silent moment, but not long.They separated before everyone laughed, and then walked down hand in hand to greet the blessing.Tears welled up in Affni's eyes as she threw her arms around them both.

After the wedding, he was taken to the cemetery for the first time as the husband of Lance Hunt, where Lance's father and mother are buried.After the old Hunter died of illness, Lance followed his last wish and took his ashes across the ocean to England. The American McCarver Hunter met his lover here, married her and lived with her, so he chose Buried in this land that was neither his birthplace nor his hometown.

The tombstone is condensed with the morning dew and has been wiped clean. England always flies a few peace doves in the gray sky.Ye Qun said in a low voice: "I should also take you to meet my parents."

Lance said with a smile: "We didn't hold a wedding in China, so at least there must be a legal identity."

After spending Christmas at the manor, they set off for the United States and registered their marriage in Las Vegas.During that brief ceremony, just the two of them and the priest, Lance bowed his head and read his confession, which was also an oath:

"Loving you is like eating bread with salt

scurrying wildly in the night

Then put your lips close to the faucet,

like opening a heavy package without a label

Anxious, happy, careful. "
