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

"Going into the city?"

The two sisters gasped in surprise.

The difference is that Xu Fang's confusion was tinged with disbelief.

Xu Lian felt a sense of joy, as if a windfall had fallen from the sky.

In my dream of the future, life in the village was too hard.

She was still thinking about studying hard, trying to gain more say in the family, and eventually bringing her whole family to the city.

Unexpectedly, this man actually made two trips into the city, intending to take them with him.

How come there's an older brother now? This world is completely different from the one in my dream?

"Big brother, what are you thinking?"

"I found a job as a cook at a steel rolling mill in the city... and I've already found a house in the city."

"Once I've finished the paperwork here, secured a stable job over there, and rented a place, I'll come back to pick you both up. For the next few days, just focus on your studies and don't worry about anything else..."

The two sisters looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Xu Fang hesitated for a moment.

"We're all leaving, what will happen to the house and land? Will we sell them?"

Before Xu Pingan could speak, Xu Lian immediately stepped in to refuse.

"No, that won't work... How about we donate it to the village instead?"

Xu Pingan gave the little girl a strange look.

To be honest, he hadn't figured out how to solve it yet, but Xu Lian's suggestion was undoubtedly the best solution at the moment.

Selling is out of the question!

Selling it now doesn't matter, but it will be a source of trouble in the future.

Going to the city to work and settle down is perfectly acceptable. But if you resell the land that the government allocated to you during the land reform, that will be a big problem in the future...

"Okay, let's do it this way! You two take care of yourselves at home. I'll come back to pick you up after I've taken care of all the formalities!"

The two sisters never considered that their older brother might run away and never come back.

After all, Beijing is not that far from here.

Even Ping An never imagined that Xiaoqi Town was not within the boundaries of the capital city!

"Brother, can you cook?"

Xu Pingan was annoyed.

"Who almost ate the whole bowl when I made that sauerkraut fish?"

Thinking of the pickled fish, Xu Lian swallowed hard.

In her dream, she lived a lonely and miserable life. Although she lived more than 20 years longer, she was never able to leave the countryside and never ate anything good.

Including the life I lived in my dreams, the best thing I've ever eaten in my life is that dish of pickled fish.

Thinking of pickled fish, she felt that her older brother would definitely be able to do it!

The two sisters lay in bed chattering away, dreaming about the future, and didn't manage to fall asleep until midnight.

Going to bed late meant that when I woke up the next morning, my older brother had already left.

During this period, the leaders of most functional departments were demobilized military personnel, and most of the staff were the original staff who were retained.

Therefore, when doing many things, you may feel a sense of disconnect.

Some people may have a bad attitude, but they often manage to get things done smoothly.

In order to save time, Xu Ping'an rode his bicycle until it was smoking.

If there is an official inspection, simply show your identification; it is absolutely authentic and verifiable.

If any acquaintances ask, just say you borrowed it from the factory and that you're going to work there as a factory worker.

Within a day, Xu Pingan had basically completed the formalities in the county town.

In the evening, I took some food from my spatial storage and brought it home.

"While I'm away from home, make sure you eat eggs and grains as usual. Don't try to save money just for the sake of saving, understand?"

"Understood!"

Xu Lian answered decisively, deeply understanding the meaning of "health is the foundation of everything."

"Don't stay silent, I'm talking to you, Xu Daya!"

"knew!"

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Xu Pingan finally showed a satisfied expression.

"I'll be back to pick you up as early as this Sunday, or at the latest next Sunday."

"While I'm away, you all should behave yourselves and go to and from school with the other villagers. Don't walk alone, understand?"

"knew!"

"besides……"

He went on and on for a long time before finally letting his two younger sisters off the hook.

The next morning, Xu Fang got up early again to prepare dry food for Xu Ping'an.

He ruffled the other person's hair, which was noticeably shinier, and left home amidst the accusatory look in the other person's eyes.

Back at the street office, Xu Ping'an didn't know who to look for, so he simply went to see the future Director Wang.

"It's done so quickly?"

Xu Pingan smiled wryly: "Sister Wang, it's not that far."

Wang Xia was looking at the documents, and the more she looked, the more something felt wrong.

He looked up and carefully examined Xu Ping'an.

"You're only 15?"

"Oh! Is there a problem?"

Wang Xia slammed the documents on the table with a loud bang, attracting the curious glances of several people nearby.

"Who are you calling 'sister'? My son is eight years older than you."

Despite saying that, Wang Xia still curiously circled around Xu Ping'an several times.

"Seriously, Xu, how did you grow up to look like that?"

"Without looking at your profile, you wouldn't guess you're only 15. You just seem to have delicate, fair skin."

"Sister Wang...!"

"Alright, stop calling me 'Sister Wang,' call me 'Aunt Wang'! What are you, a 15-year-old brat, calling me 'Sister'?"

"Aunt Wang... Aunt Wang!"

Wang Xia sighed and sat there for a while to recover.

After carefully reviewing the documents Xu Pingan handed over, he could only sigh upon seeing that both his parents had passed away.

"Does the steel rolling mill know you're 15?"

"They didn't ask, so I didn't tell!"

Wang Xia felt a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat; she couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

Suddenly, my impression of the steel rolling mill worsened!

The relevant regulations have all been sent out, but almost none of them are being followed diligently...

According to the latest "Interim Measures for the Unified Allocation of Labor (Draft)", neither the age nor the recruitment procedure meets the requirements.

But these days, you can only say that regulations are regulations, and facts are facts.

The fact is that too many people died in the war, and many families lost both parents, leaving only children.

What if you decide not to let people work at this point? How are they supposed to survive?

Therefore, when it comes to handling matters on the front lines, we often have no choice but to turn a blind eye.

He just saw in Xu Ping'an's file that his two younger sisters are 11 and 6 years old respectively...

How can you expect her to refuse?

Wang Xia sighed and could only turn a blind eye... and do it with the other blind eye!

He reached out and handed the filled-out and stamped documents to Xu Pingan.

Just as he reached out to take it, Wang Xia pulled the documents back.

Xu Pingan looked at her in confusion, and the other person didn't seem to have changed her mind.

"Don't reveal your age in public! If someone asks, just say you're eighteen!"

"Understood, thank you for your guidance, Aunt Wang!"

"In addition, you should give this information to your finance department. Your rent will be deducted from your salary every month, and the steel mill's finance department will handle the rent payment on your behalf."

"Okay!"

"Don't forget, don't even think about taking advantage of the government. If we don't receive your rent for three months, you'll lose not only your house, but also your job!"

"Don't worry, Aunt Wang, how could I dare? I'm an extremely honest person!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xia's lips twitched.

Judging from his opportunistic manner, he doesn't seem like an honest person at all.

After giving her some instructions, Wang Xia handed the house keys directly to Xu Ping'an.

I already took him there once before, and the women there already know Xu Ping'an, so going again shouldn't be a big problem.

Of course, this isn't a big problem, or perhaps it's just that she thinks it's not a big problem.
