Chapter 4: Field Work When the old woman lost her husband two years ago, she left only the fields she could somehow cultivate alone, and rented out the rest to neighboring houses. Therefore, the remaining fields were small, and the fieldwork didn't take much time for me. In the midst of all that, I started thinking and implementing ways to increase the harvest in my own way. "Since I'm entrusting the fields to you, I won't say anything," Ilse responded when I told her my ideas about the crops to…-

Chapter 4: Mu Chuang Curses Lin Xi's expression froze, but his heart was pounding like a drum. How was he supposed to answer such a crucial question? "No... didn't laugh at anything," he hurriedly blurted out, grasping for an excuse. "Just suddenly thought of a joke and couldn't help it." Even after saying it, he was still anxious, afraid that the other person wouldn't let the matter drop. "Is that so?" Mu Chuang smiled slyly, throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, as if he wouldn't give up…-

Chapter 39: Krim and Salomé "Who is that woman?" I asked my companions involuntarily. I had been busy creating plans for the desert cultivation area and village roads, and had only been to this establishment twice. "Her name is Salomé, and she's said to have come from the capital," Kent explained. Certainly, the woman's face had a sophisticated air, different from the local village girls. "Kent, you seem to know a lot," Jim said teasingly. "This guy has already been here eight…

Chapter 39: Mu Chuang Won't Let Him Go Since his department still belonged to Mu Chuang, Zhao Yuming had to inform Mu Chuang every time he asked for leave. Giving Zhao Yuming face, Mu Chuang couldn't refuse and signed it directly. Lin Xi unknowingly worked for almost another month like this. During this time, he never submitted his resignation to Mu Chuang again. Because he had adapted, and most importantly, because he had Zhao Yuming's support, no one dared to gossip about him at work. Even in private,…

Chapter 38: The Village Tavern "Hey, Toma. Come with me for a bit." I was blankly at home when someone suddenly slid the door open. It was Jim. When I went outside, Krim, Sulke, and Kent were also waiting. "You'll rot if you just stay at home. We're going to the Mulan Inn." "No, I'm not in the mood for that." "No, you're coming," Jim forcibly dragged me out. Reluctantly, I was taken to the Mulan Inn almost against my will. The Mulan Inn was an tavern that had opened about three months…

Chapter 38: The Appearance of Male Supporting Character Number Two "Next time is next time, we'll talk about it if you do it again," Zhao Yuming said with a stern face, seemingly not intending to let these gossiping workers off the hook. "Today it's a fine of fifty for the first offense, double that for the next. Don't think you can get away with it." After he finished speaking, he turned and entered the workshop, going to his desk. Before long, the names of the several workers who had been gossiping…

Chapter 37: A Sad Farewell A year had passed since the tunnel was completed, and the aqueduct construction was three-quarters finished, while the reservoir was half done. The dam at the water source was over 90% complete, and water would likely flow through the tunnel in less than six months. I was observing the aqueduct construction while contemplating the intake for the branch canals to the desert. "Toma!" A voice called out to me from afar. It was Tom. He was supposed to be building several…

Chapter 37: Mu Chuang Asks Lin Xi to Be a General Laborer Mu Chuang was silent. In his memory, Lin Xi had never spoken to him in such a tone, nor had he ever been so fierce with anyone. Today's reaction was probably because he was truly feeling very wronged. For some reason, seeing this beautiful face of his displaying a fierce expression, he felt a sudden flutter in his heart. That inexplicable feeling from before resurfaced. This was the first time he had seen him since that night without feeling…

"I'd like to ask Mr. Roy to do the final thrust." Roy, receiving a pickaxe from a thick-armed laborer, vigorously gouged the rock face. A hole opened up there. "We did it! It's through!" Toma was peering in from beyond the hole. Toma, crawling out, and Roy, who awaited him, both had faces smeared with mud and crumpled with tears. The two embraced in the narrow hole, still crouching. Roy was the general manager of the desert greening project, and Toma the designer of the plan. Now, the two…

Chapter 36: Xi Xi Wants to Resign "You also know I haven't done anything wrong, so why are you treating me like this?" Lin Xi seized on one of his questions, boldly retorting, "I can't stay here anymore, can't you see that?" "Since you dislike me so much, why do you care if I ruin myself? Does it affect you? Or are you deliberately punishing me, I'm unhappy every day, so you're happy every day, is that it?" If it were any other time, Mu Chuang would have surely said that he was especially good at…
