Learning

Continuation...

Waking up so early at 4 am is not something unusual that happened because of the new environment, But it has always been my routine not because I wanted it, But my situation in the past had put me in a place where I had to start my day early.

Lucy, "I have to go now, I will be back by 7". I had no idea where she wanted to go... It was still dark outside, "Mom, if you don't mind, can I tag along? ". Lucy, 'I have to milk the cow and go to the nearest dairy station. You can stay inside... You might get bored if you come with me! ". These are all new to me, But I was willing to learn so that I could be of some help in the future, "I want to learn, you consider me as your daughter so teach me! I want to help you in the future", I asked with puppy eyes. Lucy couldn't help but agree.

I wore thick clothes and went out with my mom... we reached the backside of the house where I could see the cowshed, "Mom do you milk all these cows by yourself every day? ". There were almost 20-25 cows, How can a single person do all the work, I couldn't help but worry. Lucy, "Yes, I might be old, but I am super strong. You will be shocked to see how good is your mother at this! ". She never misses an opportunity where she can brag about herself, I couldn't help but sigh. I wanted to learn so that I could be of some help, "Mom, teach me! ". Lucy, "You won't listen to me. But be careful! ".

My mom, taught me how to milk them. At first, I was scared, but I slowly got a hang of it. I have always been a person who could learn new things in just a few tries... I am not bragging, but it was always that insecure feeling, A strong feeling of survival! That made me learn things at a faster pace. Lucy, "I guess I got a talented daughter. I am surprised with how fast you learned it, I took almost a year to perfect my skills". No one had ever praised me for the things I did in the past, getting a compliment made me shy all of a sudden. I just laughed at her remarks.

I now had mastered the skills, but not perfectly. I guess another few days and I will be able to do it at a much faster pace.

It was 5:30 am, We had completed milking them. Lucy, "I can't believe we finished this so early. To be honest, I was scared at the beginning, I thought we would end up being late. I guess I was wrong. My daughter sure gave me a surprise today". I just laughed, "I am happy to satisfy my boss! ". Lucy gave out a loud laugh, "I am blessed with a good worker".
