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

"Brother, Uncle Tian came over this afternoon and said we need to weed the fields. We can't just finish planting and leave the land unattended!"

Xu Pingan nodded.

The Uncle Tian that Da Ya mentioned is named Tian Laowang.

He's considered a skilled farmer in the village!

After Xu Ping'an's family was allocated land, they always asked Tian Laowang for advice on how to farm.

After all, in previous years, not only did they not own their own land, but they also had to hide from the world because of war.

Farming is an instinct ingrained in the bones of every Chinese person.

But a little stimulus is needed to wake them up!

Although Xu Ping'an's face remained expressionless, he was secretly suffering in his heart!

Farming?

There's no way I'll ever be a farmer for the rest of my life!

For Xu Ping'an, farming has, after all, stood the test of time.

When needed, it's the farmers.

When not in need, they are migrant workers.

After working hard all year, if you don't get paid, you might even be accused of "maliciously demanding back wages."

So let whoever wants to farm this land do so; Xu Ping'an, for one, doesn't want to!

If you're going to honestly farm the land, you might as well farm that one acre of space.

Of course, this is just a later-stage plan. Right now, Xu Ping'an absolutely has to cultivate this land!

Do we have any crop seeds at home?

Xu Fang glanced at her older brother in surprise.

"Yes, we kept some vegetable and grain seeds, but not much!"

"Okay, I'll take these seeds first; they'll be useful!"

As Xu Fang watched everyone finish dinner, she cleaned up the dishes while nagging Xu Ping'an.

"Brother, let's go pull the weeds in the field together tomorrow morning! I can't help much with planting, but I can manage the fields, weed, and chase away the sparrows."

Xu Pingan did not object.

After all, he himself didn't want to do this job.

Sitting down on a small stool in the fenced yard, Xu Pingan began to organize the skills in his mind.

The skill "Sichuan Cuisine Beginner to Advanced" is definitely useless now!

After all, not only are there no ingredients, but eating too well in this village can easily make people hate you!

The mentality of resenting others' possessions and laughing at others' lack is not a new phenomenon.

However, if I move to the city later, I might consider becoming a cook!

As the saying goes, even in famine years, cooks won't starve!

As for someone like Xu Ping'an, who has cheat codes and a spatial ability, as long as he doesn't covet the small amount of money he makes from preparing banquets for others, he can live a very carefree life as a cook.

After moving to the city, if you find a factory not far from home, that's a typical job with little work, high pay, and close to home.

Does Xu Pingan lack money? He probably won't in the future!

In this day and age, having too much money is useless; money you can't spend is no different from paper!

With this skill in Sichuan cuisine, I could easily find a job as a chef in a large factory and have a legitimate way to sell my resources...

As for "Basic Electrical Engineering Applications," it goes without saying.

According to Xu Ping'an's own plan, he would most likely never need to use this skill in his lifetime.

Of course, all of this depends on what route they take to get into the city next.

I remember when I was researching for my novel, around 51, there was a lot of job openings in Beijing.

Basically, as long as you dare to step out of your comfort zone and go to Beijing, you'll find a job!

Although most of them are temporary workers, with Xu Ping'an's abilities, it shouldn't be a problem for him to become a permanent employee!

Of course, not all jobs are the same.

Compared to other professions, being an electrician is considered a fairly respectable job.

However, Xu Pingan also had his own concerns.

Safety in construction is currently just a slogan.

Even if Xu Ping'an values ​​his life highly and plays his game perfectly, he can't escape having terrible teammates.

Even in 2026, you might still encounter the bizarre situation where you're fixing the power on one side while someone else is turning the circuit breaker back on the other.

Not to mention 1951, when there were no standard operating procedures and the system grew wildly.

Xu Pingan once saw a document that showed that among factory jobs, electricians had the highest mortality rate!

The term "electricity tiger" is not just something to be used to scare people.

And this [Basic Hunting Mastery] is currently the skill that helps Xu Ping'an the most.

Dongying Village is located right next to Xishan Mountain.

This place is located at the junction of the Taihang Mountains and the Yanshan Mountains.

The saying goes, "Those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water!"

Having acquired basic hunting skills, Xu Ping'an quickly grasped the habits of wild animals and hunting methods.

Even if you can't catch large wild animals like wild boars or king of the forest, catching some rabbits and pheasants shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thinking about this, Xu Pingan began to take stock of the weapons he had.

Without weapons, not to mention the guns and ammunition that were so common in this era, we didn't even have a single bow and arrow. How were we supposed to get up the mountain?

Could it be relying on the "finger flicking magic" (throwing stones)?

Isn't this ridiculous?!

He doesn't know this skill either!

In addition, he did not have a reliable helper in the mountains.

For example, a well-trained hunting dog!

Hunting is something you won't get any reliable results at all unless you go deep into the mountains!

If you go deep into the mountains and get lost, you're in real trouble!

Even if Xu Ping'an has a cheat code, if he gets lost in the deep mountains and is trapped for ten days or half a month, he will be complained to death by his two lovely younger sisters when he comes out.

Thinking of well-trained hunting dogs, a sudden memory squeezed into Xu Ping'an's mind.

The old hunter in the village, Mr. Tian, ​​recently had a litter of eight puppies!

These days, many people don't even have enough to eat, let alone own a dog.

So, when Boss Tian asked around the village, he found that he couldn't even find a place to give away these dogs.

So, Mr. Tian plans to take his litter of puppies to the city after they turn one month old to see if he can sell them and find a way to make a living.

Of course, Xu Ping'an wasn't there at that time, but now that he's here, he'll definitely pick out two dogs to keep!

It is said that the dogs in Old Master Tian's family are all wolf breeds.

Xu Pingan didn't know much about dogs and didn't know if it was true or not!

But it seems to be true. Although Xu Ping'an doesn't understand, there are plenty of knowledgeable people in this village.

If he gets the dog sorted out, and then gets a bow, then his gear for going into the mountains will be complete.

As Xu Ping'an was planning for the future, he heard light footsteps slowly approaching him.

Turning my head, I saw my second sister, Xu Lian!

Xu Pingan reached out and ruffled her hair.

"What's wrong with Er Ya?"

Xu Lian felt the warmth on her head, but she didn't find this intimate behavior offensive.

When Xu Lian woke up in the afternoon, she hadn't yet shaken off that "Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly" state.

At that time, she felt as if she had experienced many hardships.

Once the immersive feeling faded, she returned to being that carefree little girl.

However, this little girl, through a twist of fate, glimpsed a corner of the future.

But it seems fate played another cruel joke on her.

In reality, an older brother who didn't exist in my memory has appeared!

Xu Lian watched her sister and brother interact, feeling as if she were the outsider.

It was as if that ambiguous dream had erased her brother from her memory.

Xu Lian is now so confused that she can't even tell whether the problem is her own or her older brother's!

However, none of that matters!

"Big brother, will you suddenly disappear?"

Xu Pingan was taken aback, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Why would Er Ya ask that? How could Big Brother possibly disappear!"

"N-nothing!"

Watching Xu Erya leave in a hurry, Xu Ping'an felt that there was something wrong with his second sister!

However, since she was only 6 years old, Xu Pingan wouldn't hold it against her too much.

He just silently prayed in his heart: System, oh system! Please don't mess with me.
