When a person who has lived a hard life of lack of food and clothing since childhood, works hard but does not have enough to eat, is bullied and exploited by the people above him, and suddenly one day he has food, clothes to wear, a stable place to sleep, and serious things to do, can get a decent payment, and no longer suffer insults and beatings, how will they feel?

That's right, it's belonging.

Their previous lives were muddy, they were not educated since they were young, they didn't understand anything, they simply sold their labor and bodies, and they had nothing but the basic instincts of living things, and if you want to sum up their lives, it is best to use a story that Lu En knows.

Herding sheep, marrying a daughter-in-law, giving birth to a baby, what do you do when you give birth to a baby? Let the baby herd the sheep, let the baby marry a daughter-in-law, and let the baby give birth to a baby......

Endless reincarnation.

But now, with such a place as the Federation, there is a person who used to be a clerk Kesto personally teach, they are very excited, they are very serious in their studies, at that time when the proportion of illiterate workers at the grassroots level accounted for more than 90%, on the basis of being able to eat enough to have a book to read, it is really an unimaginable life.

Kesto divided the study class into three groups, those who knew less than 100 words, those who knew 100-300 words, and those who could read and write more than 300 words, so that they could be taught in different categories, and he himself was responsible for educating those who were the most literate, and those who were more literate would help those who were less literate.

Another great motivation for them to take the initiative to study is that if they read a lot, read quickly, and learn well, they don't have to go to work in the mines, but go to help Kesto, be a leader, and manage other people! I heard that the salary will go up!

Where have the workers seen such a thing as an upward channel, and the life that has been gray all their lives is like a sudden rush and hope.

Are they bitter?

Of course, hard work, mining this kind of thing, it is impossible not to be bitter, after a day of work, the whole person is tired into mud, fingers can not move, the food is better than before, but it is only better than before, how can they really have money to let them eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas? It's just a little more meat and eggs, not a lot of them, and some fresh vegetables that I grow myself, and then I replace the black bread with fresher, unmixed with sawdust.

That's all.

Of course, the suffering is not good, although it is much better than before, but they still have not gotten rid of the suffering.

But they are still contented, because the old days were painful and hopeless, and now, although the pain has not disappeared, the despair has disappeared.

For the first time, they feel that they are fully respected in personality, satisfied in their spiritual pursuits, able to enjoy the opportunity to learn and grow, and although they are still working hard, they are able to work hard with others for a bright and brilliant goal, rather than sinking in despair forever.

For generations, thousands of years, until now, they finally realized the solemnity of life.

It turned out that they were alive.

It turns out that being alive is not just about numbing work, eating, dying.

Compared to the other workers, the workers here in Kesto have a heartfelt smile on their faces because they are truly equal.

There was a strict hierarchy between the nobility and the plebeians, and even if the ruling class bought people's hearts, they only gave a small amount of material charity, yes, only charity, or reward.

In addition, it is impossible for them to pass on the idea of equality, because it means the loss of their sacred status, and this idea of equality is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to these workers who have never experienced equality, and they cannot refuse it at all, especially young people, after experiencing the Federation, they will not be able to return to the old world of slavery.

And they are also the most self-respecting, self-confident, and energetic workers in the whole city.

At the end of the day's lessons, they talked and laughed and walked out, it was not too late, they needed to rush home while it was daylight, and the beds here were reserved for the wounded to sleep.

Kesto wiped his sweat and drank some water, feeling tired after a day's lessons.

As the only human in the original workshop, when Miss Bai said that she wanted to establish the Aurang Branch, he took the initiative to invite Ying over, after all, the monster hybrid is really not suitable for expansion, and Bai, who looks like a human, has to rely on Livia to open the situation, not to mention other strange shapes.

It was already dusk outside, and the golden sunset was sprinkled with the roar of the blast furnace outside, and Kesto rubbed his temples.

Working with him in this federation, there is also a monster hybrid, named Angie, I heard that her parents once saw a celestial apostle named Angie with their own eyes, so they named her after Angie.

Doroth has a quarter of the Silver-faced Fierce Owl blood, the fingers are not the same as humans, there are three bone joints, and sharp claws, but the skin color is quite fair, the hair is silver and black, the outermost circle of the head is inherited from the silver-faced Fierce Owl metallic silver hair, and the inside is the black hair belonging to humans.

In addition, the shape of the pupils is not the same as that of humans, the pupils are very large, the whites of the eyes are almost invisible, the eyesight is very good, and there is dark vision.

Looks the same as most monster girls.,Although it's very ...... Ethnic, but mostly pretty for the most part.

This is a very smart girl, and the only monster hybrid who can help Kesto, a native of Aurang Iron Mountain, in just a few months, she has become proficient enough to work as a clerk in a bookstore, she can write well, and can read and write most books normally!

"Then Mr. Casto, I'm gone!" Angie waved her hand, gathered up the last bit of things, and waved at Caesto.

"Good night, go back and have a good rest, is your sister okay? I still have two pieces of candy here, which I brought back from people's pre-dinner desserts when I went to those parties before, you can take them! Kesto took out two pieces of candy wrapped in a napkin from his pocket, which he had taken when he went out to socialize and talk to the merchants.

"Thank you, Mr. Casto!" Anji was a little embarrassed, but when she thought of her sister, she would definitely be very happy, and she was reluctant to refuse, so she could only keep thanking her and keep this heart in her heart.

She trotted home with candy in her hand.

Before she got home, the smell of fresh bread came from the street, and there was a knocking sound, and Angie knew that it was the bakery reminding everyone that the freshest bread of the night was baked.

Angie heard the clamour, but she couldn't afford it, it was fresh bread at dusk, and only the "middle class" of Mr. Caesto could afford it.

The poor don't buy food at this time, because most of the workers are still working at this time, and the managers, secretaries, bookkeepers, doctors, lawyers, and professional adults will buy a freshly baked bread for dinner at this time, and they won't eat the usual brown bread or bread, which is baked with fresh flour, and some even have added sugar!

As for the rich, the rich have their own bakeries and bakers at home, and they don't need to buy them at all, and they only need to be instructed when to eat.

Angie didn't want to buy it, but the smell was too fragrant, the fragrant white bread baked from the white flour, the hot bakery, she swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and then she couldn't help it, and ran towards her house without looking back.

Even now, when Mr. Caesto had given her much more wages than before, white bread was not something she could think of, and she had to save at least a month to be able to afford to eat once, and she had some savings, but she could not use it to eat, but to heal her illness.

Her family lived in the outer part of Iron Mountain City, not in the slums, because she was not a miner, but a cook, and she and her sister were cooking for the old boss and other managers in the chamber of commerce before Mr. Kesto came.

The salary is not much, but you can eat leftovers and eat every day, and you can save a lot of money.

The reason why I spent a lot of money to move here, because it is very close to a doctor, my sister is weak, coughing all day long, other doctors can't cure it, only Dr. Agrev can relieve his sister's symptoms, I heard him say that he used to be a nobleman's personal doctor in the imperial capital, but I don't know why he came to such a small place as Aulang, and he didn't say anything when he asked him, but fortunately, his medical skills were very good, and Angie moved next door to Dr. Agref in order to take care of his sister, this is a good person, he always helps take care of his sister when Angie goes out, So Angie has always been grateful to him.

Finally got home, my sister didn't seem to be there, but she wasn't worried, my sister should be cooking for Dr. Agref, the doctor was very kind, his sister helped him cook, he allowed his sister to take some of it home to eat after it was done, and it was not leftovers, it was just after it was done, and he could take part of it after it was ready.

Because the doctor said that he couldn't eat so much, and his sister couldn't eat much, so he just took it.

While eating the leftovers of the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, she received help from doctors, and sometimes even treated her sister for free, so that the two sisters can survive until now, instead of dying early in the coal mine like their parents.

Anji pushed open the tattered wooden door and sat on the bed, saying that it was a bed, but in fact it was a few planks on the ground, on which a layer of straw was spread, and a cloth was covered with the straw, and then there was a mattress on the cloth.

The mattress was very new, and it was evident that it had just been bought, and they could not afford it before, and they were all covered with straw, but after Mr. Caesto came, they could afford it, and it was very warm to cover, and as long as they slept here, my sister would not cough at night.

The whole house, only three cramped rooms, no toilet, needed to be solved out, only one bed, she slept with her sister.

In fact, this is also the norm, cotton and cloth are very expensive things, and most poor people sleep in a bed as a family, which not only warms up, but also saves fabric.

The warmest thing in winter is not the stove, but the body temperature of a person, and the possibility of freezing to death is very rare when a family is huddled together.

The rich feel that the poor are so shameless, and it is an insult to ethics for a mother and a son, or a father and a daughter to be naked and huddled in the same bed, but it is the best way to survive in the cold winter.

Sitting on the bed, Angie carefully counted her few dollars: "One, two...... Seventeen ...... Twenty-two ....... ”

Twenty-two silver coins of Aurang, a lifetime of savings, a huge sum of money.

Angie looked at the money bag with satisfaction, so much money, enough for tomorrow to be a little extravagant, take out one and buy some softer, sweet, and even a little creamy bread, she can't always eat those black bread with teeth, recently the black-hearted baker also mixed bran with bran to the flour of the bread he bought for the poor in the morning, and claimed that it was to increase the flavor, it was really disgusting.

She had saved the money so far that she could save up a gold coin, and then she went to Dr. Agreve, who said that he could use it to buy herbs and minerals and make a potion.

The doctor said that she could not be charged for labor, and last time, my sister couldn't hold it anymore, so he helped Anji make this potion for free, and after my sister drank it, it made my sister feel a lot better, and if she could keep taking it, she could even be cured! But the rest will need her to pay for the materials herself.

It's a pity that it takes 60 silver Aurang coins to buy raw materials, not to mention the cost of dispensing, under normal circumstances, pharmacists or doctors are willing to dispense potions only after charging half the price of the materials, even if Dr. Agrev is willing to help her for free every time, she can't afford the expensive materials, and the potions are very expensive.

In the inner city, I heard that there is a very large potion store, which is the headquarters of Iron Mountain City in the Hall of Radiance, and the powerful healing potions sold in it even require six thousand emperor gold coins, I heard that as long as people don't die, drinking it can give you a new life, and all the diseases and toxins will be removed, but it's a pity that that kind of luxury can only be thought about, six thousand emperor gold coins!

It's a small mountain of gold!

After counting the money, she carefully stuck the coins in the cracks in the wall, and at this rate, she saved for another three months, and even if she spent one tomorrow, she would be able to call up the second dose of medicine, but it could not be stolen.

“… Sister...... I'm back, I'm back with soup! Outside, her sister's voice came and woke Angie from her musings, and Angie stood up and walked outside.

"Fili, what did you do today?" Anji's voice seemed very pleasant, because her sister had been coughing less recently, and her body had become much stronger, and she planned to put the troublesome things behind her, after all, even if it happened, there was nothing she could do.

"I cooked the soup and added corn~~, and there is salt in it!" Fili smiled sweetly, since she drank the medicine, although she still had some cough, her body was much better than before, and the little girl had never felt that life was so good.

She is Angie's sister, Fili, and similar to Angie, she also has silver and black hair, and her eyes are large and bright, but she is much more haggard and petite.

"Well, come, Mr. Caesto gave me two pieces of candy today!" She took out the candy and shared it with her sister.

Sweet, fragrant.

The soup was warm, with corn and wild herbs in it, and there was also salt.

If only this kind of life could go on forever.

Mr. Kestor said that there was a better king, who was the one who built the workshop, and that we might need our strength to build more workshops in the future.

If more people could become like us...... Angie is willing.
