When he returned to the country in June, he went back to his ordinary occupations – husbandry, intercourse with the peasants and with his neighbours, management of his house and of his sister's and brother's affairs, which were entrusted to him, relations with his wife and relatives, cares about his baby, and a new hobby – beekeeping, which he took up with enthusiasm that spring – occupied all his time.
Junius elején visszaérkezvén falura, evvel megszokott foglalkozásához is visszatért. A gazdaság, a parasztokkal való érintkezés, a háztartás, nővérének és bátyjának az ügyei, melyek a kezében voltak, feleségének a rokonaihoz való viszonya, a gyermekével kapcsolatos gondok, új kedvtelése - a méhészet, a melyet most a tavaszszal szeretett meg, minden idejét lefoglalták.
