Humping

1678 Words
"Huuu... Mummy... Huuu... Daddy..." tears of joys and cries of the children could be heard and suddenly the social welfare department appeared and thought that the children were being abused and tortured by us. When they learnt about the happy tidings, they were happy for them and for us as well since we were able to take on responsibility at a young age. Spon the children were ushered to their respective rooms and they were overjoyed after seeing that they have their own rooms and they were also overjoyed seeing their stuff inside the wooden chest that had been brought over from the orphanage. All the four children were flitting around the rooms to discover that each room was equally sized and all had their individual queen-sized beds to lie on. Every single room was similarly furnished and the decorations would be left to their own choices thereafter. "Mummy, Daddy... Is this truly our bedroom and we are staying here for good?" asked Kayla as she was bounding on and off the bed like a little Jackrabbit. "Wow... I can see the whole town from here..." said Ingles as she opened up a window and she could see the half part of town from there. "This is cool, we can decorate our room as we like..." said Jane as she took out some of her things in the wooden chest and rearranges inside the wardrobe. "Could we throw some of our old clothes and we can go shopping after dinner?" asked Adam K. Macleod as he rummaged through the wooden chest and removed some of his old, worn, tattered and patched clothes. "Ahh... No problem, children. We can go right after this. Furthermore, your old clothes could be turned to rags once they are stacked and cut into square pieces and seen together. All of you could pick up 4 pairs of new clothes later at the atelier and also your gear for the role of Rangers." I told the children as they wanted to be Rangers like me to learn the Class and handle a crossbow as effectively as me. Soon their stacks of old clothes were compiled and then were cut into squares and sewn together to serve as rags. I told them to keep their rooms clean and no eating is allowed on the beds to prevent those pesky ants from biting them. The children nodded in agreement as we settled downstairs for dinner and then heads out to the marketplace and to the store to serve our customers. .... At the atelier, the 4 children picked up a camouflage set of clothes as Rangers and after putting the embroidery of Keating in the middle of their tunic and on some parts of their gear, I decided to infuse them with level 8 iron pieces which mean that 2 pieces of iron ingots would be hammered for up to 350 times to attain that level. It is a small thing for me, as long as the children get to follow the footsteps. Furthermore, 4 more ladies would take up their places at work and the children themselves would be working from 10 am to 10 pm to supervise the production plants. Hearing that the employee's children would be putting up at the new Keating Day Care Centre in the old orphanage, they vowed to hunt for wild boar and present it to Silas Brown Of Strongbow Tavern to make sumptuous meals for them. This way, they said its a form of giving back to the community. 3 brand new composite crossbows were purchased and Kayla had trouble handling it at first since the weight was a bit too much for her. Bruce decided to fashion one composite small crossbow light enough for her to handle with speeds of only 120-180km/h within a week and promised to deliver it to Kayla once it is ready. That too would be fused with Level 4 iron to make it par with the rest of her sisters and brother. After settling these two tasks, we head back to the store where Prius and Rebecca had opened up the store and were entertaining the customers. Since the store is open after 7 pm, it somehow created a buying frenzy from the customers as they grabbed all colours from the lipsticks and eyeshadow since they only managed to buy one a piece on their last purchase. "Haiyoo... Ladies. There's always tomorrow you know. Hahahaha... It is like as if there are limited stocks." I chuckled at a customer and she smiled as she said that these pieces that come in porcelain ware is exquisite and also the price is right. Unlike the porcelain pieces that were sold at Paul's, the pieces and products were considered much lower. They would be killing two birds at one time. Some asked for a demonstration on how to put on the eye shadows and eyeliner while Patricia and Rebecca handled the requests after the customers had paid for their purchase. There was a rapport build with the customers as they were happy with the sales and after-sales services provided by the store. Sales were brisk and we finally settled the last customer around 11 pm and closes up for the day. As we head back to the Great Hall we had received 9 thick envelopes from our travelling merchants and when we opened it up, we discovered that the response from the neighbouring towns was quite overwhelming. "Prius, could you assign the delivery guys to come and do the sorting tonight? I know, it's past their time but if we don't act now it would be hell in the next few days." I reasoned with Prius and when he gathered the delivery guys, they were anticipating when the day would come. "Alright, listen up carefully. Each if you would take on one town at a time. Each purchase would be placed inside this wicker basket and into this paper bag. Label the bag according to their name and price and insert the order form inside the bag as well. Since the customer had the white copy, we had the blue one and the pink is for you guys." "Once a town had been settled, store them up in carton boxes and label the name of the town at the sides and place it according to their distance, the nearest would be close to the entrance of the caravan and the farthest would be deep inside. I will show you a few sets in how it's done and the children here would arrange the goods in this table here according to product and type." "They will check against the order list and hand it to you once it is verified. Once you had reached the town to deliver the goods to them, all monies collected would automatically enter Patricia's account so you would not worry about mishandling the credits. Remember that you would be handling each of the zones like as if they were your own babies, alright?" "Perform your work slowly but surely. Thank you for coming in at this late hour, we will help you out until we had covered the whole 9 towns. Now, let's all start by doing one town until we had completed it. Many hands make light work, gentlemen." I had completed the set of instructions and we only settled one envelope at a time so we would not mix the orders. After each order had been completed it was placed into a paper bag, properly labelled and into the carton boxes set available for transportation and distribution. It was fun having a lot of people working together and everything seemed clockwork. Each one took an order form each, went to the line of tables where the exact order of goods was placed according to the order form and pick up the appropriate goods that were labelled. This way no one got the wrong item and the stock were replenished on the table once it is depleted. One town is completed with 10 minutes and by close 2 hours, we had completed packing and sorting the boxes according to their distribution. Rebecca made supper and once the delivery guys had their breakfast, they were raring to go at first light. Looking at how orderly and synchronised the way we had done for the packing, we decided to leave the goods on the tables and had space just nice for the 8 of us to squeeze and have our meals. "I'm going to get another two long tables tomorrow for the goods. You want to come along?" I asked Patricia and she nodded sleepily. The children were tired but happy at what they had accomplished tonight and can't wait to spend their first night in their new bedrooms in the House of Keating. And as for Patricia and me? There is just rest and sleep afterwards... My foot... Hah hah hah... ...... The children had finally settled in their own rooms, and we cleared a bit of the mess in the Great Hall while Prius and Rebecca had settled back in their room as well. Patricia and I sat down in the Great Hall and were having a cup of hot cocoa and we looked at each other longingly and looked back at where I first had woken up right till today, having 4 instant children and being wedded couple and all. We drew a laugh together when we discussed and were thinking of the same things together and after finishing up our cocoa, the first day awaits at the Keating Day Care Centre where the children of the employees would be placed there under the care of the matron. Patricia and ai both retired in my room where we snuggled up and rested for a few hours before the first light... My foot... Rest. Put a woman and a man on my bed and they'd sleep meh? Or playing checkers until daybreak? Hahahahaha... Of course, I won't go into detail except for the sounds of "Piak! Piak! Piak! Piak! Piak!"
