The land reclamation area located on the west side of the camp.

Derek raised his hoe and pressed his force against the grass in front of him. The hoe was deeply embedded in the inside of the grass. He was turned up again as soon as he tried hard.

Derek is not unfamiliar with this way of farming land. When there was no dead-fighting competition during the Scarrey period, he would go back to his adoptive father's house to help farm the fields.

But he thought that farming was a boring thing, because only a small part of the food he could eat in the fields, and most of it had to be handed over to the local nobles.

Derek had never experienced the joy of harvest, because he had only worked and had no harvest in the past.

It seems the same today. The land he reclaimed does not belong to him, but to everyone.

But Derek was full of energy because he ate six meat buns in the morning and added a large bowl of black rice porridge to work.

These foods are much better than the vegetables he grew before! As long as he could eat those meat buns, he was too lazy to care about who would give the vegetables he grew in the end.

"The morning work has ended here. Thank you for your hard work. Put the utensils over and line up for lunch."

There was a somewhat unstandard common word in Derek's ear, a middle-aged man wearing a green coat, holding a hoe in his hand.

If Derek remembers correctly, he should be the person in charge of this reclamation plan, his name is Niushan.

When Derek listened to the other party's introduction, he thought this was a very powerful name, which meant a cow as huge as a mountain?

But this character, who seemed to Derek, did not supervise their work next to the field, but went down to the field to supervise their work with a hoe.

Not only did the supervisor keep pointing out what they need to pay attention to when plowing the fields, but occasionally a lot of strange things would be pulled out from the tumbling soil. Sometimes there were some soil-drilling insects, and sometimes some plant seeds.

These things that were not valuable in Derek's eyes, but in his eyes it seemed like gold was found.

Derek didn't care much, either, because he had lunch.

He put down his hoe at the designated location, received a large bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, and then found a piece of field to sit down.

As soon as Derek stuffed half of the steamed bun into his mouth, the person in charge named Niushan suddenly sat next to him.

Derek was so scared that he quickly swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, and then stood up immediately.

This is a habit that Derek developed when working for those nobles. Those nobles would not go to the fields at all. If they had been working in the fields for a day and touched the dirty things on the other party, the most serious consequence would be a whip!

"What's wrong with the young man?" The researcher named Niushan didn't realize why Derek stood up.

"Sir, I don't mean to offend you." Derek immediately took a step back and said.

"What? What offense... I'll sit next to you and have a meal, there's nothing offense or not." Niu Shan said.

Derek hesitated for a while when he heard the other party's answer, but he found that the other party's hands were also covered with mud and had many deep wrinkles on his face, a look that had experienced weather and frost, which looked far from the nobles he knew.

"I understand, do you think I am the stingy landlord on your side? In your words, you are a noble?" Niu Shan instantly figured out why Derek was so scared.

"Aren't you?" Derek didn't understand the meaning of stinginess and landlords, but Niushan's voice was full of disdain when he mentioned the nobles.

"I'm not the case. We have been rid of this thing for eighty years. I just started researching the land." Niu Shan said.

"Don't...get it? Then you are..." Derek still held a vigilant attitude.

"Like you, I also plowed the fields in the mountains when I was a child."

Niu Shan raised his hand, his palms covered with calluses of long-term use of labor tools. Of course, Derek knew these hands, and his adoptive father's palms were the same.

"Are you a serf in the past?" Derek was convinced that the other party's past experience might be similar to his, but now the other party is the person in charge of this reclamation plan.

"What serf? Oh! I understand. The translation of this word seems to be similar to the system of the Russians. I used to be a farmer! Do farmers understand? They just plant their own fields and collect their own land, and no one can rob them."

Not long after Niushan had just learned the common language in the world, he still mixed some Chinese when communicating with Derek.

"I can read here by myself. In our world, it is important to be equal to everyone. If you study, you can be as good as me." Niu Shan said this and patted his thighs, "You can also sit in this position!"

Derek glanced at the place where Niushan was sitting. It was a pile of mud covered with mud, but Derek still understood what the other party meant.

"Everyone is equal, how is that possible?" Derek was unwilling to believe the other party's words "and our nobles don't let us read."

"Why can't you be equal? ​​You and those nobles have the same brain, two eyes, two pairs of arms and two legs? Isn't the intelligence much different? If they don't let you read it, you won't read it?" Niu Shan said with wide eyes.

"I... don't know, if we know about literacy, we will be punished."

Derek didn't understand why he couldn't learn, but he still wanted to learn something, including reading and writing, so he asked his sister Tata to go to school.

He himself came to participate in the reclamation plan to get food coupons.

"Oh, it's not easy to explain to you, but you can wait! I'll get this book."

Niushan did not do this research, but this time the reclamation plan also brought experts in this field. He stood up with the iron bowl in his hand and walked quickly towards the tent temporarily established next to the reclamation field.

Derek stood there before he could see Niu Shan walking out with a book. At this time, Derek just finished eating the two steamed buns in his hand.

Niu Shan stuffed the book directly into his hands.

"I can't read." Derek glanced at the book that was not very thick. Of course, the book was written in Chinese. He couldn't even understand the words in the common language, let alone read Chinese.

"If you don't understand, I can teach you. The reclamation plan will last for one or two months, provided that you are interested, young man." Niu Shan said.
Chapter completed!
