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

Both younger sisters were incredibly excited when it came time to choose a dog.

On their way home after choosing the dog, the two of them started to have a problem.

There's no other reason than that even the landlords didn't have any surplus grain!

Let alone the Xu family?

Xu Fang's face scrunched up.

She secretly glanced at Xu Ping'an's expression and saw that he seemed quite happy.

Only then did he speak cautiously.

"Brother, we don't have much food left at home. We can only last until the autumn harvest at the latest."

Upon hearing Xu Fang's words, Xu Lian also realized what was going on.

However, in her dream, nothing was planted in their family's fields during the first half of this year.

Their mother passed away last winter, and the two little ones simply couldn't manage these few acres of land...

Winters in the north are extremely cold, and the ground is frozen solid.

In his dream, in the first year without his older brother, his family struggled to turn the soil over and loosen it, but they had long missed the planting season.

Although the villagers are relatively kind, during the busy farming season, who isn't busy?

No one has the resources to help others at this time.

This was also the beginning of the sisters' suffering.

Because the land was abandoned and not cultivated, Ma Ergou later found an opportunity to forcibly rent their land.

The government also has policies that allow people who are unable to farm for various reasons to lease out their land.

If Ma Ergou had paid the rent as agreed, she and her sister wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation.

If this land could be rented to someone else, it probably wouldn't be as shady as Ma Ergou's!

Unfortunately, no one was willing to offend such a scoundrel for the sake of two orphaned girls...

"Don't worry, since your eldest brother has decided to get a dog, the food problem will be solved."

Just kidding. If you follow me and don't talk too much, you'll live a life of luxury.

Of course, Xu Pingan is not at ease with his two younger sisters right now.

The relationship between the two parties still needs to be tested and refined over time.

As she passed by her own fields, looking at the lush green wheat, Xu Lian smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Xu Lian tugged at Xu Ping'an's sleeve and asked in a soft, sweet voice.

"Brother, when are we going to weed?"

"Well……"

Before Xu Pingan could speak, Xu Fang interrupted him.

"I'll have Er Ya do the weeding; after all, we can't be of much help with planting and harvesting..."

Xu Pingan patted Xu Fang's head!

That's so true!

Xu Ping'an is really worried!

He's a typical city bumpkin... If you ask her to remove the weeds, she might accidentally pull out the seedlings, which would ruin the vegetables!

Xu Pingan did not plan to go to the city in the short term.

After all, he grew up in the 21st century.

His language and lifestyle habits bear the deep imprint of that era.

The early years of the People's Republic of China were the most sensitive period for the Chinese people.

If he stayed in the village, no one would think about Xu Ping'an's strange behavior.

After all, we've watched this person grow up since they were little, so when they encounter problems, everyone automatically imagines some reason for it.

But once they left the village and went to the city, especially the heart of China, Beijing, they found themselves in a different place.

Any slight mishap there could easily arouse suspicion from others!

Perfect timing, it's almost time for the busy farming season.

Once he's finished with this busy period and his mind and body are more adapted to this world, bearing the marks of the times, he'll think about going to the city to find work and settle down.

That means it will happen by the end of this year or the first half of next year!

That's the thought, but the next morning, Xu Ping'an still obediently helped his two younger sisters weed the fields.

After all, he's a man who cares about his reputation.

How could I just stay home and let my two tiny little sisters weed?

As for not knowing how? Can't you learn?

Xu Ping'an's mental attributes are about to explode!

After watching his two younger sisters do farm work for a while, he was able to basically distinguish between wheat seedlings and weeds.

How can you draw something wrong just by copying it exactly?

"Brother, be careful! Why did you cut the wheat?"

Xu Fang looked at the wheat seedlings in her brother's hand with a pained expression, tears welling up in her eyes!

Xu Lian also pouted, hunched her nose, and looked at him with a face full of disapproval.

Xu Pingan was truly embarrassed now; he had actually made a mistake while trying to copy the model!

He touched his nose and laughed awkwardly twice!

"Mistake! Mistake! I'll be extra careful next time."

The two sisters didn't think much of it.

He looked at his younger sister, who had seemed very strange before, but today she was no different from the sister he remembered.

I don't know if it's because the other person is too young, or for some other reason?

For Xu Lian, that dream was like a gentle breeze that left a few traces.

After the wind blew, everything seemed to return to normal.

The three of them worked all day on the two-acre plot of land, and they had only managed to finish less than half of it...

Xu Pingan suspected that there might be something wrong with his system panel.

The system clearly stated that Xu Ping'an's physique had reached 14, which was close to the human limit!

But after only one day of weeding, he was already unable to straighten his back!

The problem is that the land is more than two acres in size, and even after three people have been working all day, they haven't even finished half of it!

On the ridge of the field, Tian Laowang was smoking his pipe, watching the three siblings work with a smile.

Xu Pingan complained.

"Uncle Wang, you just watch without offering to lend a hand."

"Give a hand? What hand? You'll be doing this yourself from now on, won't you? You should be grateful that your old man is as attentive as I am, guiding you on what to do and when to do it!"

As he spoke, Tian Laowang couldn't resist making a few sarcastic remarks about Xu Ping'an.

"And besides, you're so slow! Normally, one of us can hoe an acre of land a day with ease. But you, a grown man, aren't even as efficient as your two younger sisters!"

Hey, how can that be the same?

I used to be a keyboard warrior!

Even the most terrifying nightmare I've ever had didn't involve farming in the past!

"You'll have to suffer a bit. Remember this: you must clear away the weeds before winter and in early spring!"

"Look at it now, these weeds that are taller than wheat, it's because they weren't cleared properly back then."

Xu Pingan sighed.

"With so many things to do at home back then, how could I have the time or energy to weed?"

Tian Laowang had obviously thought of the changes in their family as well. The two sisters' mother had been sick since the beginning of winter and passed away just after the New Year.

Thinking about it carefully, the system really does have immense power, it even took this into consideration!

Xu Ping'an suffered a lot because he didn't remove all the weeds.

"You all need to prepare your farm tools for the summer harvest at home recently. The wheat harvest will begin in June, so don't rush things!"

"Also, have you prepared the seeds for summer planting? Prepare seeds for late-season corn, buckwheat, and mung beans..."

Xu Pingan was completely bewildered.

The two sisters listened attentively to Tian Laowang's teachings, wishing they could take out a notebook and pen to write them down.

Thinking of notebooks and pens, Xu Ping'an thought of Xu Fang's schooling problem.

Looking back, it seems that none of the three siblings had ever received an education!

Xu Pingan was now at a loss again.

How can I make the best use of my knowledge in the future?

Surely we can't be born with knowledge?

Xu Pingan wasn't in a hurry about his two younger sisters going to school.

With this cheat code in hand, he's destined to have no worries about food and drink.

According to the information he found when he was writing novels in his previous life, although nine-year compulsory education was not yet implemented, the country still attached great importance to education.

After all, literacy classes will be offered again in a few years and will continue for many years...

Once the school is built in town, we can just take Xu Fang and Xu Lian to register!
