A courtyard house, equipped with a fishing system, living in an era.

Xu Pingan spent a total of five days away from his departure to his return to the village.

In other words, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth...

I didn't quite understand when I heard Boss Tian say that to hunt large game, you had to go to the West Mountain and there was no future in the North Mountain.

I finally understood after going there myself this time!

Xu Pingan's original plan was quite good: to detour through the mountains to the west...

Once you get into the mountains, you realize you want everything and there's simply no time to change locations.

When Xu Pingan returned to the village, his basket was full of things.

Two hares and a wolverine were covered with various wild fruits they had picked.

As for whether it's worth the trip, that's a matter of opinion!

After all, if you only get this little bit of reward after four or five days in the mountains, it's not worth it at all.

Fortunately, when Xu Ping'an dealt with Chen Zhu a few days ago, he also made an example of him to warn the villagers.

Although many people were envious, no one dared to be sarcastic in front of him.

Everyone greeted each other warmly when they met.

"Dog Egg, why aren't my Daya and the others playing with you guys?"

Gou Dan looked up and glanced at Xu Ping'an with a displeased expression.

"They're watering the fields... Also, don't call me Gou Dan, my name is Zhang Jiefang!"

"Okay, Dog Egg!"

Dog Egg charged at Xu Ping'an with a rocket-shaped headbutt, but Xu Ping'an grabbed his head and pressed it down.

He casually took some sour dates out of the basket.

Several children playing at the village entrance each received one; everyone got one!

As I passed by my family's field, I saw my two younger sisters diligently watering the plants.

The water in the puddle next to his field was almost gone.

"I'm back!"

The two sisters looked up in surprise when they heard the sound.

"elder brother!"

The two sisters never expected that what was supposed to be a one- or two-day trip would turn into a five-day trip.

After her initial surprise, Xu Fang looked at Xu Ping'an with accusatory eyes.

Xu Pingan knew what she was thinking and rubbed her head.

"Stop glaring, or your eyes will pop out... Come on, I'll make you braised rabbit for dinner tonight."

The two sisters forgot about watering the plants, packed up their things, and followed Xu Ping'an around happily.

"By the way, did you buy all the seasonings I asked you to?"

Xu Pingan suddenly asked.

"I bought it! I bought it a few days ago!"

Xu Lian held Xu Ping'an's hand in one hand and her sister's hand in the other, walking with a bouncy and skipping gait.

That evening, the Xu family had a really good meal.

"Brother, do Big Yellow and Little Black really hunt?"

Xu Pingan considered their behavior.

"Not bad, but I still need to train harder..."

"Brother, your expectations for them are too high!"

……

After the meal, the three siblings sat together and chatted.

"Has anything happened in the village these past few days? Has anyone mentioned anything about the school?"

Believe it or not, some things actually happened that involved the school.

A few days ago, Zhang Laoshuan announced a new policy in the village.

A primary school is about to be built in the village.

The so-called primary school only teaches grades 1 to 4.

The town will build a complete primary school.

According to Zhang Laoshuan, there is not much difference between the two.

How could it not be big?

The quality of education in the village is, to put it mildly, as anyone who knows, knows.

Xu Pingan had never considered sending his two younger sisters to primary school in the village.

This thing is only good for basic literacy; it works quite well.

"Brother, we want to go to school in the village!"

Xu Pingan put down the porcelain bowl of water and sighed.

When will you learn to be obedient?

"Didn't we agree that you'd go to school in town? It's not far, only a 20 or 30-minute walk. Why go to the village school?"

Xu Ping'an genuinely looked down on this village school.

But if the two sisters really insist, then he can only let them have their way.

After all, Xu Ping'an couldn't keep making decisions for them and paying for their future.

If good intentions are repeatedly rejected, then let it go.

As soon as Xu Fang said that, Xu Lian's heart skipped a beat.

"Sister, I want to go to elementary school in town!"

What's so good about the primary school in the village?

In her dream, many people who came out after reading it could only say that they knew a few words and could write their own names.

It's difficult for a golden phoenix to fly out of a mountain valley.

It's illogical that someone from the same school, who can't even read properly, could get into junior high and university.

Since her older brother can earn money to support the family, Xu Lian only wants to study hard and find a good job after graduation before the storm hits...

In her dream, her body collapsed as soon as the storm passed, and she never saw the future world.

In this lifetime, she wants to see it all!

But the moment this woman opened her mouth, it seemed like things were about to go wrong...

Xu Fang stared at her sister's eyes for a moment, stunned, after hearing her sister's words.

Xu Fang silently cleared away the dishes and went to wash them.

Xu Lian: "Brother, I want to go to elementary school in town..."

"Okay, no problem, it's settled then, we won't listen to Da Ya."

"Yes, we won't listen to her, our brother is the best!"

It was rare for someone in the family to agree with Xu Ping'an, and he seemed very happy.

The system arranged two cheap sisters for him, since they were not related by blood.

If you repeatedly refuse his kindness, he will have no choice but to put away his good intentions.

Do whatever you want!

Raise her to adulthood, give her a dowry, and then she'll get married. It's not like he can't afford that amount of money.

If they are willing to grow under his protection and obey his commands, then Xu Ping'an should also make a good plan for their future life path.

Of course, the premise is that you have to be obedient.

He doesn't need Xu Fang's self-righteous "it's for your own good" attitude.

Xu Pingan has a modern stomach; you insist on saving money here and there...

It's not fair to say Xu Fang is wrong; the two simply have a conflict in their views and ideas!

Fortunately, Xu Lian was obedient and did not disappoint Xu Ping'an's expectations.

So far, Xu Pingan is also somewhat confused about the future.

The general trend for the future is definitely towards moving into the city.

When will we enter the city? Under what identity will we enter? These are all questions that need careful consideration.

……

Two days later, Xu Pingan took the two sisters to register at the school in town.

Because it was the first year, there were only four classes in the first grade.

Tuition is 2,000 yuan per person per semester, plus two textbooks for Chinese and arithmetic, each costing 1000 yuan.

Other stationery such as pens, ink, and paper need to be purchased separately.

If you do the math, the two sisters will spend a maximum of 12000 yuan per semester!

Converting the currency to the second edition, it's only 1.2 yuan...

Xu Pingan has always had a bad habit: when calculating the value of something, he always likes to assume its future price.

For Xu Ping'an, the tuition fee of one yuan and two mao was indeed incredibly cheap.

Xu Fang originally planned to share a set of textbooks with her younger sister.

But thinking about what my younger sister had advised me a few days ago, I decided to let my older brother decide these matters.

……

"Have a holiday?"

Xu Pingan stared blankly at his two younger sisters.

"They're already on holiday after only a few days of school? Is it really 20 days?"

"Brother, the school said we're having a harvest break..."

Xu Pingan didn't know what to say for a moment.

Autumn harvest holiday? I have to say, this holiday is great!

If he were to do all the farm work during the autumn harvest by himself, he would grumble for days on end…

"How many days?"

"Ten days!"

Goodness, not only are there winter and summer vacations, but there are also spring and autumn vacations!

Even with so many falsehoods, Xu Pingan couldn't bring himself to say that kids these days are truly blessed!

By the time the autumn break was over, most of the farm work at home had been finished.
