With gallons of sweat dripping down on his face, jeno took a deep breath first as he continues to dig on the dirt with the old shovel.
"Jeno, let's go inside mom prepared some snacks for us..." his older brother minhyung said putting the shovel down carefully on the ground
The younger nodded his head with a small smile plastered on his face "Go ahead hyung, I'll just finished this work for a bit." he answered continuing to lift dig on to the dirt deeper
Minhyung sighed and hold the shovel halting jeno on what he's doing "Come on jeno, you've been working hard since you woke up and you haven't even given yourself a break since you started working here!" the older scolded leaving an annoyed look on jeno's face "Don't give me that look jen, I'm going to tell mom you're overworking yourself again!"
Jeno sighed at the nagging before he nods in defeat "Fine, but I'll come back here later!" he said unhanding the shovel unwillingly
"Taking a break isn't that bad jen!" minhyung said putting his arms around the younger brother's shoulder
Life isn't easy for jeno and his family. Ever since he was born they never had their own property aside from the old tools and furniture and their house were situated on the land that his grandparents were asked to be taken care of.
Up until now, him, minhyung, and their parents were still taking care of the strawberry farm that the zhong family owns.
That is why the samoyed like male promised to work hard to give his family a comfortable life they deserve.
Aside from farming, jeno is taking different jobs whenever he's not present on the strawberry field.
Selling different stuffs, part time delivery guy, waiter, etc.
Every job you can think of really just for him to have source of income.
He even get the point where he got hospitalized due to overworking himself.
When they got inside their humble home, they were welcomed at the view of their friends one who looks like a baby chick and the other one who looks like a bunny sitting on their long wooden chair while munching on the toasted bread with strawberry jam on top.
Oh well, it's just jisung since jaemin hated strawberry flavored foods despite working on the strawberry farm.
"You two are here again!" jeno looked at his two friends with a disbelief expression
"We don't have any food stucks in our house! Being poor sucks!" jaemin said as he took a sip on the water
"And you think we're rich?" jeno answered back
"You're too grumpy jeno hyung!" the youngest of them suddenly speak softly glaring at the said male who watches him snake his one arm around jaemin's waist
Minhyung's lips curved upwards as that action didn't go unnoticed by him as well.
"These two..." the oldest muttered under his breath
"Just be boyfriends already." jeno blurted out making the two choke on their toast
"What the heck jeno!" the bunny like male clicked his tongue while glaring at the older
"Kidding." jeno chuckled taking a bite on the toast
"Y'all I was wondering what if we are rich..."
The three young males looked at the minhyung who had a tiny grin on his face.
"You know, we can go to different places and whenever we want also date whoever we want without worrying about spending too much money." the oldest stated
Jeno glance at his older brother then diver his attention back to his toast again, sometimes he's wondering as well on what if they're rich
Like your food is less of your worry because you have a lot in the fridge and pantry, you don't have to think about your future because there's a lot of opportunities waiting for you, you're comfortable and peaceful in your sleep and many more.
He also doesn't have to worry about his future person's parents because he have a money to brag with them.
"Speaking of the rich... Y'all know about the grandson of the owner of this land?" jisung said with his lips pouted
"How about that guy?" jaemin responded
"I heard he's his parent's ultimate source of headache because of his bratty nature... People said he just do whatever pleases him like escaping in the middle of the night or at dawn while people are all asleep just to party with his friends whom I heard were brats as well because he's bored at their house."
The samoyed like male rolled his eyes at what jisung is gossiping. Even though he wanted to have comfortable life, he has an irritation and annoyance towards people who have that kind of mindset and attitude.
Jeno shakes his head in displeased, he definitely feel bad about that guys' future person.
"People like that should be thrown in the middle of nowhere..." he commented making all of them crack up
The four of them continues to talk about random simple things in life with the siblings scratching their head as they felt so single while watching jisung and jaemin act like boyfriends in front of them.
That's just how the everyday life goes for them, it's hard but what can they do?
~~
While the family is having their simple dinner, mrs. lee's phone ring taking the attention of the three males.
"It's mrs. zhong..." she said looking at the trio
Mr. Lee's brows furrowed at what his wife said "What does she need though?"
The woman shrug before taking her phone and goes outside answer the call.
"I hope the zhongs won't kick us out here..." mr. lee said jokingly
"Why would they kick the people who is taking care of their land dad?" minhyung sarcastically asked
"Oh my gosh minhyung, you cannot take simple jokes!"
Jeno remained silent as he is busy munching his food, maybe the phone call was to check if the land is doing okay.
After a couple of minutes, mrs. lee came back with a surprised expression on her face.
"What with that face sweetheart? Are we really going to get kicked out of this land?!"
Mrs. Lee shakes her head before sitting down on the chair "Mrs. Zhong told me that her son is coming here tommorow." she said making her husband's eyes grow in size
The siblings stare at their mom for a few seconds before going back to munching their meal.
"What is he going to do here? Vacation?" mr. lee asked putting the mouthful of rice in his mouth
"No... Mrs. Zhong said her son will be going to work with us."
Jeno raised his brows on the words, he's wondering what how in the world a rich spoiled brat could survive a farm work.
"Why?"
Mrs. Lee pursed her lips "I don't know... To teach him a lesson I guess." she said shrugging her shoulders
The family resume their dinner with only chewing sounds could be heard not really bothered about what tommorow can bring.
To be continue...
