Chapter.16 Brothers and Cold

Two people decided to work harder.

After lunch, the brothers were given the task of washing the dirty buffaloes.

Linte and Mate didn’t even bother washing the body of the large buffalo. Hold a brush in both hands and scrub away the mud. The two men’s hands were very delicate because they had heard that the water buffalo’s body should not be injured.

Would you say that you are more careful than when washing your own body?

However, like all animals, the buffalo hated the feeling of washing itself. Moreover, he is a stranger and different from usual.

Perhaps that’s why the water buffalo that Mate was washing turned its body around due to the movement of the loose brush, and when it saw an opportunity, it suddenly started running away.

Mate, who was startled, grabbed the buffalo’s back, thinking that it would be a disaster if he missed it, and ended up dragging it around the ranch.

“Aaaah!”

Ment and Miltein rushed over and skillfully calmed the buffalo, and as soon as Mate stepped onto the ground, he lowered his head and repeatedly apologized.

Mate was completely out of his mind. This is because the speed of the water buffalo was faster than expected.

“sorry!”

“no. Things like that happen, too.”

The comment shook his head as if it was no big deal. Ment and Miltein looked at each other and smiled. In the beginning, even Ment and Miltein often hung around the buffalo, so they just grumbled and avoided the topic.

Mate, who didn’t know that, just drooped.

A very hectic day passed in this way. The biggest challenge was getting the buffalo back into the pen. Rinte and Mate had to go through a harsh hazing ceremony, rolling around and over.

The most amazing thing was milking the water buffalo that I visited the next day.

But the order of novelty changed immediately that afternoon.

The process of making cheese using water buffalo milk was 100 times more amazing than milking the milk. Linte and Mate just watched the scene in fascination.

“This is what makes such delicious cheese.”

The main thing we do in the afternoon at the ranch is actually making cheese. Serrell shrugged his shoulders and held out the finished mozzarella cheese.

Linte and Mate fell in love with the savory taste without even knowing what it was or how it was used.

The two brothers fell in love with ranch work and continued to do it over and over again.

Little by little, I started to get used to the job, cleaning and washing us, eating lunch, and helping make cheese.

And lunch on the 7th day.

“Gurl.”

Because it was Serel’s day off that day, there was no lunch provided. Miltein and Ment seemed to have brought a packed lunch, and the brothers came out of the ranch, saying they would buy something to eat because they were worried that eating would be inconvenient because of them.

But what comes out is a rumbling sound in the stomach.

“Gurl.”

The couple’s recent meals were very simple. In the morning, I go around the restaurant and pick up the discarded food. For lunch, I ate rice cooked by Serel. There is nothing for dinner. I just went to bed early. Eating is a luxury.

That’s why, whenever it’s lunchtime, my stomach becomes a battlefield and screams.

Linte came out of the ranch and led his younger brother as if he had no choice.

I had something in mind. The place Linte led his younger brother to was a restaurant on a hill. Of course, there is no money to go to a restaurant and buy a meal. As always, Linte went to the back of the restaurant and looked for the discarded food.

“oh! Here it is. “I think this is thrown away food?”

“Are you sure you threw it away? “I think it’s still steamy.”

“It’s a complete mess, so of course it was thrown away… .”

Saying that, Linte opened his mouth and inserted a piece of meat.

“Ugh huh huh.”

“What’s wrong?”

Watching Rinte spit out the meat he had picked up, Mate also picked up his food and ate it. And spit it out the same way.

It’s steaming. This means that it is food that has just been thrown away. That means it wasn’t spoiled, but it tasted worse than spoiled food.

“I guess this restaurant was also tasteless.”

“Iknow, right. older brother… . “It’s so bad.”

“Thanks to you, it looks like someone threw it away without even eating a single bite. It’s not delicious, but let’s eat it anyway. I have to eat at least this to survive. “It still looks fresh.”

“Ugh… “Your brother.”

Mate even started holding his nose and chewing his food.

Quang!

At that moment, the back door of the restaurant opens with a loud noise. No, rather than opening, it felt like the door was being torn off. Along with him, an incredibly beautiful woman appeared.

Linte and Mate stopped in place. This was the first time I’ve ever been caught eating discarded food.

Although the woman who appeared in front of them was clearly a beauty, she exuded a strange sense of intimidation, and strangely enough, fear took hold in the hearts of the two people.

Moreover, I started to kneel down and pray because I thought that no matter how much food waste was thrown away, I had eaten it without permission.

“sorry! sorry!”

“What are you guys? Are you a guest? There is no business today. But do you know who I am? “Why are you lying down?”

“Aren’t you the owner of the city restaurant? sorry! I need to eat this with permission, but I’m so hungry… . “Is it okay to throw away food?”

“Yes, I am a restaurant owner! Since L is the owner, I am also the owner. And that’s right, I threw it away. Did you eat that? “They are unusual people!”

“If I throw it away, can I keep eating it?”

“Okay. Look after me. “I’m busy right now!”

The woman said that and went back into the restaurant.

Linte and Mate felt something strange. When the woman disappeared, the fear disappeared again.

It’s so strange. But more than that, I was hungry first, so I started to fill my hunger again. But it was very tasteless. really.

Then he returned to the ranch and devoted himself to work.

Time passed and evening came. Ment handed out an envelope to the two people who were about to leave work.

“Now, this is one week’s wages.”

“yes?

“It’s wages… ?”

The brothers who took the envelope without thinking asked each other with troubled faces. I felt troubled, depressed, and complicated.

Because I thought it might be a notice of rejection.

“Okay. receive. And since I will start working officially starting tomorrow, the money will be paid monthly rather than a week’s wages. “You will have to survive for a month on that wage, so try to use it sparingly.”

“yes?”

Linte and Mate asked simultaneously.

eyes are round

“Didn’t you hear? We got to work together. “I don’t know about you, but the ranch owner who was watching from behind recognized you as our comrades right away!”

As Miltein stepped aside, Linte and Mate widened their eyes in surprise and asked a question.

“Thank you! Is that true? really?”

“It’s true. It’s not easy to trust someone after going through so much trouble, tsk tsk… .”

Ment raised the brother who was down to his knees.

Judging from the comments, the two were more sincere and honest young people than anyone else. It’s true that I automatically like that look.

The brothers blinked in disbelief for a while, but only after a while did they accept reality and start running around.

Miltein and Ment looked at the young men with fatherly smiles.

On my way home from work after receiving a week’s wages. Linte and Mate were so moved that they opened the envelope with trembling hands. And I almost fell asleep in shock. Because the amount was too large.

“This is a week’s wages?”

“Brother, maybe I put something wrong?”

“is it?”

“But brother, this is also included?”

Mate took something out of the envelope. There was a piece of paper on which the amount of one month’s wages to be received and the cheap inn where the two would stay were written.

The inn was arranged by Mr. Ment, and the two shook their heads in disbelief.

“this… The wages you will receive… older brother… ? “Is there too much?”

“Is there something wrong? Something… .”

“That’s the right amount. My brothers. That’s why the line was so long during the interview.”

Miltein, who was leaving work afterward, patted the two people on the back and made a hand gesture.

“That will be enough to live on for a month. Do you want to talk more about it later? I have a date today. My new girlfriend and I are hot these days. Hahaha!”

Miltein hurriedly ran down the hill, looking very excited. Crying out my girlfriend’s name. Thanks to this, Linte and Mate, who lost even more sense of reality, blinked while holding the envelope.

“Is the amount you get paid for working at a construction site for a month equivalent to a week’s wages?”

“older brother… !”

It was a reality that was hard to believe.

But it was also a clear reality.

“Ooh, let’s buy a proper meal first, Mate!”

“Yes, brother!”

The brothers were very excited and went down the hill.

But did you say that good and bad things always come together?

As we reached the end of the hill and joined the city, a group of hoodlums blocked our path and started laughing, as if they were waiting for their brothers. This is a group of people who are even familiar with each other.

“I heard you guys work at the ranch on that hill?”

“Kikiki, that’s good.”

The gang led the rebellious brothers into a dark alley.

“What does working on the hill have to do with you?”

“I know. “It has nothing to do with you guys!”

Linte and Mate shouted in defiance at the unwelcome group, but they returned with punches.

Pow!

The gangster’s fist hit Linte’s face as he blocked his younger brother. Lin Te immediately collapsed to the ground.

“Didn’t I always tell you not to hit your little brother?”

“You’re laughing. bouncer.”

Pow!

In the end, a fist flew into Mate’s face as well. Mate, whose facial muscles were weaker than Linte’s, held Linte’s back while his nose was bleeding.

“You guys… !”

Linte, who had a strong determination, got up immediately. However, the leader of the gang kicked Linte in the stomach while he was standing upright and shouted.

“Catch that little brother!”

“Your boss!”

After his subordinates caught Mate, the leader of the gang laughed heartily and opened his mouth to Rin Te.

“Someone who hates you guys asked me a favor. So, by tomorrow, steal the secret recipe for making that cheese or something from the ranch. “They said they would buy it for a fairly high price.”

In fact, there was one thing that the brothers did not know: After the brothers started working at the ranch, Supervisor Ratanda went to Ment immediately and told them to fire them.

However, when Ment firmly said that he would not be fired, he became angry and started a scheme to extend his control even to the ranch.

Of course, Mate shouted in a crawling voice.

“There’s no way I could do something like that…” .”

“Mate!”

Another punch came to the face of Mate, who was shouting in place of the fallen Rinte.

Whoa!

And Rinte, who was standing up while gritting his teeth, was kicked again and fell down, clutching his stomach. The pain was so great that I just opened my mouth.

“Until tomorrow. I want to meet my younger brother alive. Kiki.”

“Did you understand, dude?”

The gangster, who grabbed Linte’s head and shook it while giving unilateral orders, dragged Mate out of the alley. Linte was trembling and furious. And I was frustrated.

A workplace that treated them like human beings for the first time.

Everyone is warm.

Even if he and Mate die, he can’t cause any trouble.

never.

Linte clenched his fists and began to shed tears. These were tears about this unreasonable world.
