Jerry laughs at this statement because as always his daughter was impatient with everything which didn't fit with the slow life of the farmlands. " what do you mean forever? I saw you when I went to eat lunch. Maybe when I finish this Row I can take a break and be with you and mommy is that alright?" "Okay but don't take too long!"

Jerry don't do that one of these days you will scare me to death one of these days, I'm starting to get old!" She slaps him to show how much he sacred her, "Don't say that, you are plenty young and I know that you won't die from me giving you a simple scare. Anyways what are you making for supper?" He gazes at the food with one filled with hunger as he waits for her response. "It's beef vegetable soup with bread." "Oooh, I quite like that can I eat till I've had my fill?" "Yes, there's plenty to go around." They stay in their embrace until Alice walks in.

"Daddy! Are you finally done with the field?" The couple hears this and they let go while suppressing their laughing from her impatience of want things then and there.

The family sits down at the table and start discussing trivial things and other oddities. "Hey, Jerry is everything going steady at the fields?" Olivia asks this out of curiosity about her husband's job and slight hobby. "It's going quite well the section I'm working on will be done by the end of the month and planting will start as soon as that's done." "Dad? After dinner can you tell me another story?" "Sure." After putting his daughter to sleep Jerry feels something he hasn't felt since being a soldier in the army, but he waves it off since he thinks it just nothing.
