I froze and said in a troubled tone, "But I'm not familiar with this part of the road."
Theo raised his eyebrows and looked at me with a faint smile. "I think Mr. Fredericks mentioned that you’ll have to do your best t o assist us."
It might not sound much but he was implying that if I did not go, then I was not doing my job in assisting him.
Therefore, I had no choice but to agree. I put down the work at hand and got up, saying, “Sure, please wait for a moment."
Later, I found a few plastic bags at the test site and left for the orchard.
When I got to the orchard, I stood outside the fence and was a little troubled.
There was a fence around the orchard. On the one hand, it was to avoid livestock from coming in and messing up the place. On the other hand, it was easier for the fruit farmers here to make a distinction between the lands.
The fences were made of barbed wire. If I could not find the entrance, it was impossible for me to climb over.
I went around the orchard but could not find the entrance. When I saw Krayden walking over, I quickly rushed over to ask for his help, "Do you know the entrance to this orchard?"
Krayden nodded with a smile. "At the opposite. Are you going in to pick some fruits?"
I nodded. "Mr. Grant asked me to do so." "It rained last night, so it'll be muddy inside and the ground will be slippery. Be careful when you go in."
"Thanks.”
After thanking him, I went around to the other side of the orchard and found the entrance.
In this season, some fruits were starting to turn ripe but some had not. If the fruits were for the elderly, then I would have to pick ripe ones so they would not be so hard to chew on and would also taste sweet.
