Part four:
The next day Connor convinced Angel to stop with the worrying and leave to San Myshuno. When he finally left Connor decided to hit the local market. Just when it started raining!

Even though it wasn't the season yet, Connor bought some tomatoes to plant on their patch.

Then he also bought some berries, desperately trying not to pick any rotten ones... there was plenty of rotten ones because once again, it wasn't the season just yet.

Spoiler
After those stupid decisions mine, to be fair, because i didn't know they get seed packs for free on the gardening career! Could've saved lots of money..., Connor realised that they are broke. Brilliant.

"Hey! You're new around here, aren't you?"
Connor turned and saw a middle-aged Swedish-looking guy.
Or maybe not Swedish-looking. thought Connor on second glance. "Me and my finance just moved in here a couple of days ago. But I'm not "new", i lived here for ten years and-"
"Ten years and i haven't seen you around? In what kind of a hole did you live?" before Connor answered, he continued. "So i s'pose you're the ones who bought the old Apple farm? Your into farming, aren't you?"
"Yeah... How'd you know?"
"Got that farm-boy look written all over you. I once wanted to be a farmer... now i've got a whole farming corporation! The whole country feeds off my fields. I could get you and your wife a job if you want!"
"That'd be nice." Connor smiled.
"Good! We'll discuss the details tomorrow."
"My address is-"
"Why would i need your address? Everyone knows when the Apple farm is. A name would be nice though! I'm Bjorn, by the way. Bjorn Bjergsen."
"Connor. Connor Smith. Apparently becoming Connor Appleton after the marriage."
"The Appletons on the Apple farm... i like the sound of that!" Bjorn smirked. "Well, see you tomorrow then, Connor Smith-Appleton!"

Later that day Connor told Susan about the good news. Susan was delighted!

The next day Bjorn appeared. And not alone! He brought his wife Clara and daughter Elsa with him!
https://c.radikal.ru/c05/1806/e2/0da4f6985f16.png
"This is just half of our family." he said, grinning. "Not counting the animals, of course."
https://a.radikal.ru/a34/1806/73/ea21ae334a64.png
Susan immediately began chatting with Clara and Elsa as if they were good friends. Connor and Bjorn went inside to talk business. The idea was that Connor and Susan will take turns working out on the main fields and also, if they need extra money, Bjorn would buy products off their patch.
"Of course, you could sell them at the market, but that requires something you young kids don't have yet. Skill."
"Hey, i've done it as a kid-"
"Things changed in ten years, son. So, you taking the job? We'll start at 20 per hour. Gonna do a good job - i'll raise you up to 25."
"That'd be great!"
"Good. Say," Bjorn suddenly smiled, "you need told me you're marrying Susan."
"Is there something wrong with that?" said Connor defensively.
"No, no, good choice! I bet you'll live a happy happy life together. I just can't picture myself living with someone so... bossy."
"Yeah, well, Susan is a brilliant person and you- you shouldn't call her bossy!"
"Wow, kid, calm down. I've known her since she was an itty-bitty child who came to visit her aunt mrs Munch every summer. And what a pain it was for the whole town! I've never seen such a perfectionist in my life. Every single person on this land knew about her "epic life plan"! Im not surprised if it hasn't changed a bit since she drew it for the first time.
"You know, i'm getting the impression you don't like her too much-"
"I never said that. And i'll gladly have her at work. Tomorrow, 7 PM! Now, i'd love to stay and chat a bit more, but really gotta go. See ya tomorrow!"

Connor never told Susan about that little talk they had.

Meanwhile, their patch grew bigger and bigger...
