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

After dinner, Xu Pingan began to think about the tomb sweeping.

Xu Ping'an is a genuine member of the Xu family.

However, his hometown is a small county town in the far south.

They share the same surname as the Xu family in Beijing, but belong to a different lineage...

But who knows, the fact that the system assigned me here must be a bit of fate!

However, the relationship was still superficial, so he hadn't really thought about this issue before.

In 52, before the full-scale anti-feudal movement had even begun...

Visiting graves and burning paper money are still not prohibited.

If the policy doesn't allow it in the future, then so be it. But since it's allowed now, Xu Ping'an still plans to go back to Dongying Village to burn some paper money and sweep the graves!

As I said before, ever since he transmigrated, he has worshipped all sorts of powerful figures, not to mention the adoptive parents arranged by the system.

If we're going to pay New Year's visits on the first day of the Lunar New Year, then let's go on the second

Thinking about these trivial matters, I couldn't fall asleep.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and according to custom, we should stay up all night to welcome the new year.

Even Xu Fang and Xu Nian were yawning as they sat at the table reading comic books.

Xu Pingan, feeling bored, picked up a comic book of "Journey to the West" and started reading it.

I must say, it's quite good-looking; the more you look at it, the more addictive it becomes.

A series of firecrackers startled Xu Ping'an, who was engrossed in his comics.

Looking up at the small alarm clock on the cabinet, I realized it was almost midnight.

Xu Pingan took out the firecrackers he had prepared beforehand, intending to set them off in the courtyard.

Before I even stepped out of the house, a continuous series of firecrackers began to sound from the front, middle, and back yards.

It must be said that celebrating the Lunar New Year in this era is still quite lively.

He stood in the yard, holding a small alarm clock and firecrackers, feeling the cold winter wind.

Xu Pingan prepared to ignite the fire precisely at midnight...

Suddenly, an electronic notification sounded in my mind.

[Ding! The new year has arrived! You're getting one free spin on the deluxe lucky draw. Would you like to spin now?]

Xu Pingan glanced at the small alarm clock in his hand. Great, it was a minute slow!

He immediately lit the firecrackers, took a few steps into the house, and closed the door.

They kept the explosions and fires out, but they couldn't shut out the smell of gunpowder!

"Alright, go to sleep now!"

After hurriedly seeing off his two yawning sisters, Xu Ping'an began to examine the luxurious spinning wheel he had just seen.

Back in his room, he closed the door, snuggled into bed, and quickly opened the system panel.

On the screen in my mind, a large turntable stands quietly.

I checked the lottery time; there were only two and a half minutes left.

So, if you do the math, it means that starting from midnight on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you were given 5 minutes to draw a prize, and if you didn't draw, you were automatically forfeiting?

Setting aside distractions, I began to carefully study the turntable.

The All-Heavens Fishing System offers various rewards, including fishing spot draws.

There is a 50% area on the panel that displays two Iron-level fishing spots.

In the remaining area, which occupies 50%, there are three spots marked as "Iron-grade Fishing Spots".

Of the remaining area, 50% is occupied by a bronze-level fishing spot.

And so on, in even smaller areas there are two bronze-level fishing spots, one or two silver-level fishing spots, one gold-level fishing spot, and one dark gold-level fishing spot...

Are there any smaller areas? Xu Pingan couldn't see them anymore...

The so-called "dark gold level fishing spot" was barely audible; the words were so small they were almost invisible.

Xu Pingan's eyes ached from looking at it before he could make out the details.

There's no point in studying it further; if you can't even see it clearly, what's the point of looking at it?

I checked the time; there wasn't much left.

After searching for a long time without finding the start button, Xu Ping'an became anxious and directly moved the pointer in his mind.

The pointer's speed started slowly and increased rapidly, then spun around several times before gradually decreasing.

Xu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the pointer slowly move across the largest area.

Thankfully, at least it's not a guaranteed minimum.

Having surpassed three more Iron-level opponents, Xu Ping'an began to look forward to it.

Finally, after crossing the Bronze level, I couldn't run anymore...

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained two Silver-level fishing spots.]

"What a pity!"

Looking at the prime fishing spot so close at hand, Xu Pingan couldn't help but feel a sense of insatiable greed.

If I just wait a little longer, that prime fishing spot, which requires accumulating over a decade of fishing opportunities, will fall right into my lap.

Silver-level fishing has already started giving out things that are beyond reality. Will gold-level fishing just give out another cheat code?

If there were a sign-in system, it would save me from having to go fishing every day...

But that's impossible. A fishing system that gives you a sign-in system so you don't have to go fishing?

Isn't this like picking up a stone and smashing your own bowl?

Xu Pingan's thoughts wandered aimlessly.

My brain, which was already quite tired, felt much more energetic after this lottery draw.

The next morning, Xu Ping'an, along with his two younger sisters, visited each of the older households in the courtyard to offer New Year's greetings.

Surprisingly, I also received a few red envelopes.

Don't even mention it, otherwise Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong wouldn't have been able to survive in the mud for so many years!

They gave the biggest red envelopes and congratulated us with smiles.

Without having a third eye, it's really hard to categorize Yi Zhonghai as a bad person.

Xu Pingan had also prepared red envelopes, planning to give one to each of the children in the courtyard if they came to wish him a Happy New Year.

Unfortunately, because of their lower seniority, the children in the courtyard were basically considered their peers.

After all, Xu Pingan's legal age is only 16, while Yan Jiedi, although very young, has an older brother who is a year older than Xu Pingan...

Therefore, although Xu Ping'an has already established himself as the head of the family, it is generally accepted that he is of the same generation as the younger generation.

It seems that Xu Ping'an won't need to give out New Year's money until the younger generation is born in the original drama.

Wait a moment……

Thinking about the younger generation in the original series, it seems that apart from the three siblings of Bang-geng, there is no one else?

Although Yan Jiecheng was in the yard the whole time, he and Yu Li didn't seem to have any children until several years later when they had a daughter.

But by then, Yan Jiecheng and his wife had already moved out, and their daughter rarely came back to the courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng's two younger brothers happened to be sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution... and they stayed away for many years before returning.

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu are a pair of unfortunate brothers, not to mention each other.

Although Sha Zhu had a son, he had never seen him or even known of his existence until he came of age.

Although Liu Guangqi got married relatively early, his name was only a legend in the drama, and it seems that his face never even appeared.

Thinking about this, Xu Pingan secretly wondered if this courtyard had been cursed.

If I weren't cheating, I would really want to escape right now and find another place.

The thought of moving to a different place reminds me of reading novels in my past life.

Looking at the comments, many readers went to the novels about courtyard houses and asked, why live in a courtyard house? Can't they just move out?

Xu Pingan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this kind of question.

For time travelers and those with cheat codes, moving out is easy, but is it still a traditional courtyard house?

Wouldn't it be a waste of your time searching, only to find yourself reading a period novel that's a sham?

Why not just search for historical fiction directly?

Besides, is moving or changing houses such an easy thing?

Leaving aside the current situation in Beijing, everything is coordinated by the government and arranged by individual work units.

Even in the past life, in the era of market economy.

Can you just change houses whenever you want? Can you just move homes whenever you want?

Those who bought unfinished buildings have no choice but to live in unfinished houses that are not yet topped out. Is that what they want?

The bitterness of life is something only those who have experienced it truly understand.
