Chapter 391: 391: The farmhouse

"Mhmm, this meat is so good. As expected of sister, she's a genius at anything she puts her hand on," Liz said as she bit on the piece of chicken meat. 

"Your brother prepared fresh chicken meat today since you guys were coming. That's why it's so tasty. I merely added a bit of flair," Helen said. 

"I have tried cooking, but I can never get it to your level. Tell me, where did you learn it from? Were you learning culinary art before you met my brother?" Liz asked.

"Of course not. I learned it all from the cookbooks that the people gave us from those restaurants your brother sells to. You just have to follow the recipe, and you can easily make the chicken this perfect too," Helen said. 

The other 4 people in the dining room ate without making any sounds, but they too couldn't deny how good the food was.

"I'm sometimes surprised how both Alex and big brother managed to stay in shape when they got to eat this delicious a meal all the time," Liz said. 

"Haha, I wonder that too. I think their metabolism is just too high," Helen said. 

"So, how're your classes going?" Alex's father spoke, trying to change the topic from food to something else.

"Yeah, it's good. Our assignments are coming up soon for this semester," Alex said. 

"Oh, so quick. I guess that makes sense," Helen said. "What about you Hannah?" 

"My classes ended 2 weeks ago. I'm just waiting for the exams and I'm done with university," Hannah said. 

"Oh wow, look at you. You're not even 22 and you're already finishing University. I remember when you were here last time. You were so excited about going to the University," Helen said. 

"Well, I doubt she will even need the university degree though," Alex's father said from the side. 

"What's that supposed to mean?" Helen got a little angry. 

"What?" he made an innocent face. "Don't you know how much these kids make nowadays? It's highly unlikely they will ever need an actual job. At least not one where they have to spill blood and sweat," he said. 

Helen still made an angry face. "What? I'm saying that as a good thing," he said. Then he turned towards Alex and Hannah, and said, "Be frugal, learn to save your money, invest it somewhere. If you do all those things correctly, you won't ever need to worry about money with how much you guys are making."

Hannah and Alex nodded. Alex had already done everything he could and had also made his cousin do the same thing. So, now they had most of their money in savings and only a little in use.

Hannah however had a regular supply of Spirit stones as opposed to Alex however, so she constantly had excess money in her bank account.

They talked for a little longer and took the conversation to the living room.

"I honestly don't understand the appeal of that video game. Why would so many people play it?" Helen asked. 

"Have you tried it, sister? It's so fun," Liz said from the side. 

"You play it too?" Helen asked in surprise. "Honestly, I wanted to make Alex stop from it long ago after learning about our neighbor's son's problems. Listen to this, they forgot how to work in the fields after playing those games for so long."

"I was afraid the same thing would happen to Alex too, but the money he was bringing in was too many, and I couldn't stop. Oh god, I hope I don't regret it soon," Helen said. 

"It should be fine, sister. I play those and look at me, I'm quite fine. It's just a day or two of discomfort that goes away very soon once your body gets used to the sleeping state. Maybe the new capsules are even better," Liz said. 

"Hmm… maybe we should get one too," Helen thought. 

"NO!" Alex exclaimed in front of everyone. 

"What's wrong with you? Don't you want your parents to have fun?" Helen said with a scrutinizing face. 

"Uhh… no, I mean yes. Of course, I want you guys to have fun, but maybe it's too early. Maybe you guys are right and it's bad. I don't want you guys to have problems if that's true. Besides, our internet connection isn't the greatest for you guys to play," Alex said. 

"Hm… I guess you are right," Helen said after thinking for a bit. "Alright, we will wait for a bit," she said. 

The family talked for a little longer until it was late afternoon. 

"Alright, I will go to the town for a bit. Need to make today's shipment. Come help me load up, and see the tractor that you basically bought by yourself," Alex's father said as he stood up. 

"Let me help you too brother-in-law," Hannah's father stood up and walked outside, leaving the girls alone. 

Alex's father walked through the farm crossing the chickens, sheep, goats, cows, followed by a large fertile land that had many different things growing in it. 

"Aren't you old by now, brother-in-law? Why don't you hire a few people to take care of this and just sit back and enjoy? With more people, the production might also increase and your profit would also go up," Hannah's father said.

"Honestly, I've thought of doing that. But nobody really wants to come out to the corner of nowhere where even the closest town is an hour away. Besides, I still have a lot of energy in me to do this all by myself," Alex's father said as he showed his body. 

There was a stack of vegetables that were already packaged and just needed to be put onto the back of the delivery truck. 

"There she is, the beauty," Alex's father proudly showed off a large tractor that he used on a daily basis in the land to harvest or prepare it for cropping various other things. 

He seemed to be really proud of it.
