Putting on his clothes quickly, Mu Yan couldn’t wait to go to his field in the forest.
“Ah Chen, Ah Chen, let’s go to the forest quickly.” Mu Yan said happily.
“Okay, let’s go after breakfast.” Mu Chen said with a smile as he stroked Mu Yan’s head and placed the prepared buns and soup in front of him.
Mu Yan ate quickly, the speed of eating was obviously faster than usual, making Mu Chen feel helpless.
“Don’t worry, the ground won’t run on its own, be careful of choking.” Mu Chen’s attention had been on Mu Yan, watching him all the time, afraid that he might choke, and even handing him a glass of water at the appropriate time.
“I’m full.” Mu Yan wiped his mouth and said to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen knew he was in a hurry, so he only packed the dishes and put them in the sink to soak. He planned to clean them after returning, and then walked excitedly hand by hand towards the land owned by Mu Yan at the edge of the forest.
This land was simply enclosed by Mu Yan after he got the ownership. Unfortunately, there were no seeds or tools for cultivation, so it had been abandoned and could now be used.
Mu Yan looked around and found no one else, so he asked 005 to take out all the farming tools from the system space.
Mu Yan picked up the long hoe and planned to plow the land first. After all, the land in the forest was relatively hard, and without plowing, it was impossible to plant seeds.
In the previous world, the wealthy families all used cattle to plow the land. But most of the people in his village were poor. Therefore, everyone chose to cultivate their land manually, using a long hoe and plowing the land bit by bit.
Mu Yan raised the long hoe and slammed into the ground, but unexpectedly, as he went down, the ground became even harder than he had imagined, leaving only a shallow trace, but not even a trace of soil overturned.
Mu Yan was dumbfounded.
Mu Chen hurriedly snatched the long hoe from Mu Yan’s hand, frowning tightly. God knew that the shock just now almost made his heart stop beating.
At the moment the long hoe was lifted over Mu Yan’s head, Mu Chen thought that Mu Yan would be knocked down by the long hoe. He thought that if it went on, it was very likely for Mu Yan to be injured. However, it was rare for him to be too shocked and not react at the moment, which made Mu Yan have his first move.
“Mumu, you tell me what to do, I’ll do it. Such a dangerous thing, what if you get hurt?” Mu Chen looked at Mu Yan disapprovingly.
Mu Yan sticked out his tongue playfully in his heart, being pampered by Mu Chen like this, his personality seemed to become more and more lively.
“This is called a long hoe, and it’s used to turn the ground. Just like I did just now…” Mu Yan said while gesticulating with his hands, but he didn’t reject Mu Chen’s kindness.
He knew that Chen was worried about him, and at the same time he also realized that he might not be able to complete the work of plowing the soil with his own strength, so he could only ‘let’ Ah Chen do it.
Sure enough, there was a natural difference in physical constitution between a ger and a man, and there were always many things that were inconvenient to do in a ger’s family without a man.
It wasn’t until this moment that Mu Yan realized why the life of those gers in the village without men was so difficult.
Following Mu Yan’s instructions, Mu Chen began to dig the ground with the long hoe. As he went down, half of the head of the hoe went deep into the ground. With a hard pull, the soil that was hard for Mu Yan was easily turned over under Mu Chen’s action.

This was probably another difference between traditional men and modern men. Although interstellar men could also get married now, because they were both men of the same nature, they all hoped to become superiors. Even the receivers would never allow themselves to always be attached to another man, and in any aspect, they would have a desire to compete.
However, Mu Yan was different. What he couldn’t do, Mu Chen did it. He not only didn’t feel useless, but also felt proud of his own man. If a man ‘dominated’ his ger in some way, he wouldn’t feel his dignity was damaged, but instead would be very obedient to his own man.
It took less than an hour for Mu Chen to turn over all the soil. It had to be said that the men in this world were stronger than the men in Mu Yan’s world, and their work efficiency was also higher.
Mu Yan looked at the land that had been turned over, but for a moment, he didn’t react.
According to his plan, just flipping over the ground would probably take a day, but to his surprise, Mu Chen only used one hour, which couldn’t be better.
“Ah Chen, you really did a great job!” Mu Yan hugged Mu Chen excitedly and kissed him as a reward.
As for Mu Chen, he happily accepted the reward.
Since Mu Chen was very good at plowing the land, the part of sowing that was originally scheduled for the next day could be brought forward to today.
Fortunately, the seeds that were previously sun dried were all placed in the system space. Otherwise they would have to go back and get them now, Mu Yan thought happily in his heart.
Turning the soil once was not enough, Mu Chen went to turn it again after a while. Because it was turned over before, this time it was more time-saving and labor-saving to turn it over, and it only took half an hour to finish it.
Mu Yan asked 005 to take out the seeds, and then thought hard about the precautions that everyone needed to pay attention to when planting wheat in his previous world. Together with Mu Chen, they scattered all the wheat seeds into the soil.
Looking at his achievements today, Mu Yan felt very proud.
“Ah Chen, do you think we should fence this field?” Mu Yan looked at the land that almost merged with the forest, and suggested. He was worried that others would accidentally step on his field when entering the forest.
“Yeah.” Mu Chen nodded in response, he would unconditionally support whatever Mu Yan wanted to do.
The two of them went to the forest to find some thick branches, and then Mu Chen made them into short stakes. Then, they found some vines and wrapped them around the stakes. From a distance, it looked like a fence full of vines, which happened to surround all the land that Mu Yan had planted.
There was also a door in the middle of the tall fence that allowed people to go in and out. In this way, if someone saw it later, they should not step on the wheat by mistake.
Mu Yan was very satisfied with this fence, and the smile on his face never disappeared.
“Yanyan, quickly fertilize the wheat, so that the wheat can germinate faster.” 005 also said excitedly.
“Fertilize? But we don’t have fertilizer.” said Mu Yan. There was no fertilizer in this world, and he didn’t know how to make it either.
“Have you forgotten the prize from the last lucky draw?” 005 reminded.
It was only then that Mu Yan remembered that he seemed to have drawn some kind of fertilizer last time, so he immediately opened the system panel and clicked the backpack icon. There was indeed a bag of fertilizer lying there alone.
Mu Yan lightly took out the fertilizer, it was only a small bag the size of a palm, and his face immediately furrowed. It was so small for his field, not enough at all.
005 could see what Mu Yan was thinking, and explained, “Don’t look at this small bag alone, but it can make the plants in a hundred acre field grow rapidly.”
“Ah? That’s powerful?” Mu Yan maintained a stunned expression on his face.
“This is a growth fertilizer produced by the system, and only a small amount is enough for each acre of land.” 005 said proudly.
Mu Yan obeyed and poured out only a small amount, carefully holding it, afraid that even one would be wasted.
The growth fertilizer produced by the system was small red particles, which look very crystal clear, not like fertilizers, but more like red crystals.
“How do I use this?” Mu Yan asked 005 while holding the fertilizer.
“You just need to scatter these fertilizers in the center of the land, and it will take effect by itself.” 005 said, and then Mu Yan went to the center of the field obediently.
After finishing these, the whole morning had also passed.
Originally, Mu Yan thought it would take several days to finish planting wheat, but he didn’t expect it to take only half a day. This efficiency was definitely beyond his expectations.
Suddenly everything was done, and Mu Yan was a bit unsure what to do.
“Yanyan, didn’t you get two new recipes? Let’s take a look.” 005 said eagerly.
Because Mu Yan was busy with farming, he temporarily forgot the recipes. Now that the farming had been preliminarily completed, 005 reminded him about it again.
Mu Yan quickly clicked on the new recipes. Looking at the completely unfamiliar words, Mu Yan remembered one thing he should do.
Mu Yan handed the recipe to Mu Chen, and asked, “Ah Chen, can you understand it?”
Mu Chen looked at the words written on the screen, he knew every word, but when combined together, he could not understand it. After all, he had never had any knowledge related to ingredients and recipes before.
Just as Mu Chen was about to shake his head, he heard 005 say, “Oh, Yanyan, if you want to learn how to read, I’ll teach you. You have such a ready-made teacher here, why do you ask him? Well, he must not understand anything.”
“You want to learn how to read?” Mu Chen asked Mu Yan seriously, ignoring 005 who was chattering.
“Well, I can’t read.” Mu Yan lowered his head and said embarrassedly.
“I’ll teach you.” Mu Chen touched Mu Yan’s drooping head distressedly, and the tenderness in his eyes grew stronger.
Although this planet was very backward, even teaching was done using the most primitive methods, every eligible child would be sent to school to study, even rural children could attend for free. This was a federal regulation. No matter how poor people were, no one could be poor in education.
Therefore, there were very few illiterate people in this world. But Mu Chen knew about Mu Yan’s background and knew that he came from another world, where many people were illiterate and had been farming for a lifetime.
It was precisely because of this that he felt more pity and heartache for Mu Yan. What kind of backward place should it be, so that children couldn’t even afford to go to school.
“Okay.” Mu Yan raised his head in surprise and looked at Mu Chen with sparkling eyes.
005 curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and said, “Yanyan, obviously I can teach you too.”
Unfortunately, at this time, no one paid any attention to it, again.
005: Life is really lonely like falling snow…
“Ah Chen, what is written on these two recipes?” Mu Yan asked.
“Tofu, ingredients: soybeans, gypsum, water… soak the soybeans in water first…”
“Bean curd jelly, ingredients: soybeans, soy sauce, pepper, fat…the first step is to soak soybeans…”
Mu Chen recited the words on the recipes in a deep and pleasant voice, reading them to Mu Yan without missing a word.
“We need to use soybeans, but we haven’t found them yet.” Mu Yan sighed after hearing this.
[Ding, triggering a third-level task: ‘Five thousand tofu.’ Make five thousand pieces of bean curd jelly and five thousand catties of tofu.]
The system sound sounded at the right time, as if responding to Mu Yan’s words.
“Five thousand copies? Damn, the system tasks are getting more and more difficult.” even 005 couldn’t help but curse.
Although 005 was still a part of the system, the task release was not managed by him. 005 main task was to accompany the host to complete the system tasks, and of course, it also had the meaning of supervision.

I just realized now that this novel is not just fluff but TOO much fluff. Or maybe it’s just me feeling strange of it after reading a bunch of angst stuffs. Still a good way to relax my nerves, ig.
