Mckenzie’s face was full of joy as she saw this.
Compared to her son, Grace was so clumsy!
Charlie began to stir the ingredients. He didn't need to stir them quickly, but it was heavy work.
Charlie felt relaxed until noon.
It was hot in July. The sun was baking the road. Chalie was next to the fire.
He wore a T-shirt but was still sweating.
His T-shirt was wet through with sweat, clinging to his body.
He wiped the sweat off his hot face, which was lit by fire.
Mckenzie told him not to leave the iron pot, or the ingredients would be burnt. He had to constantly and evenly stir them.
Finally, Charlie finished stirring the ingredients. He began to mash them. The mortar was small, while Charlie's hands were big, so they inevitably rubbed against the mortar and became red and swollen.
He had to mash a large pot of ingredients and did it bit by bit.
Charlie sat for too long, feeling his waist painful. He could only stand up. However, standing for too long made his legs numb.
Thus, he sat, stood, sat, and stood...
When he finished work, it was already six o’clock in the evening.
Mckenzie asked him to send the ingredients to the branch store and then come back to check the accounts.
After all the work was done, it was already 9.00 p.m. After having dinner at the restaurant, Charlie drove back to the villa.
The servant had run him a bath in advance. He lay in the bathtub, feeling exhausted. His arms started to be sore, and his palms were chafed.
As soon as he lay in bed, the manager of his company called him, saying that Charlie needed to read several documents and make final decisions.
