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

When Xu Pingan got home that night, he felt like his hands didn't belong to him anymore.

Opening the system panel, his physique is still 14.

Xu Pingan originally had complete faith in the values ​​displayed on the system panel.

Now, however, I have a big question mark in my mind about him!

The system says this is a physique close to the human limit. Do you think Xu Ping'an believes it?

The two sisters were, after all, country girls born and raised in this era.

Although it was a full day of work, I didn't complain at all; I was incredibly happy.

Xu Pingan had no idea what was so exciting about spending a whole day weeding!

As soon as he got into bed, he became completely drowsy.

Before going to sleep, Xu Pingan was still thinking about his plan to go to the city; he still needed to implement it as soon as possible.

He didn't want to farm this land for even a day longer.

What a pity... but we had no choice but to plant them!

He not only had to cultivate his own land, but he also had to cultivate the land in the space!

"Da Ya, have any chickens in the village started brooding lately?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fang asked excitedly.

"Are we going to raise chickens?"

They used to keep a few old hens.

Later, when the sisters' mother fell ill, all these old hens were stewed to provide her with nutrition.

The bank was completely wiped out, but unfortunately, the people involved didn't survive.

After their mother passed away, in their memories, Xu Ping'an was always busy farming.

In Xu Fang's memory, all she could do was try her best to do a good job in logistics, taking on all the tasks of cooking, washing clothes, and even going up the mountain to collect firewood.

I've only had some free time in the last few days!

Even if Xu Pingan hadn't brought it up today, she would have wanted to ask about raising chickens at home.

The current atmosphere isn't as tense as it will be a few years from now.

At that time, the number of chickens raised by each household was fixed.

For now, it's up to everyone to raise as many as they want!

As long as you can keep them alive.

Xu Ping'an had already thought it through; he had four or five old hens at home.

This way it won't be too conspicuous, and you can keep several in the space. When they lay eggs, you can take them out and pretend they were laid at home...

"Brother, how much should we exchange? I'm afraid we won't have enough food if we exchange too much!"

Xu Pingan thought for a moment.

"Alright, you two continue clearing the weeds, I'll go catch some fish in the river!"

"Okay, bro, then be careful!"

Xu Pingan nodded.

There's no way Xu Ping'an would slack off while swimming. Although he's a good swimmer, he's never practiced slacking off.

No problem if you can't fish by hand! His "Mortal Fishing" method guarantees a fish every 10 minutes!

Fishing for three or four hours allows you to perfectly avoid weeding and still catch dozens of fish!

His food supply for his two dogs, Dahuang and Xiaohei, was secured, as were the materials for trading chicks. He might even be able to trade the extra fish for some grain.

Xu Lian's attitude is still unclear, but Xu Fang has absolute trust in her elder brother.

In his memory, his older brother was the one who tilled and planted those three acres of land.

How could such a man possibly shirk his work?

Xu Pingan had no intention of fishing around the village.

Although there are many rivers and lakes here.

But the problem is, there's no way to process the fish we catch!

I can't just bring it home to eat myself!

I've heard that these days there's not much oil in the fish, so the fish dishes don't taste very good.

Xu Pingan's favorite food is grilled fish from a barbecue stall.

But that stuff is practically just soaked in oil and seasonings.

Xu Ping'an still had a bottle of oil weighing one jin in his backpack.

But there's no reason right now, so it's not easy to bring it up!

After thinking about it, I decided to walk about half an hour to the town.

Find a spot near town to fish, catch a dozen or twenty fish, then go to town to exchange them for some things, and while you're at it, legitimately take some of the supplies out of your backpack.

Xu Pingan found a tin box under his bed.

Upon opening it, I found over 17000 yuan neatly arranged inside.

Don't think it's a lot; when the second version of the currency is issued, these will only be worth a little over one dollar and seventy cents.

The mother's illness had depleted the family's savings.

All that was left for the two sisters was a scene of utter chaos!

Don't think their mother is heartless. She knows very well that if she can pull through, the two sisters can live...

If there's no adult left in the family, the more money you leave behind, the more miserable your death will be!

……

Xu Pingan closed the box and put it, along with the tin box, into his backpack.

After saying goodbye to the two sisters, Xu Pingan went out and left.

Xu Fang had to clean the pots and pans thoroughly.

Xu Lian wanted to go to work in the fields first, but her sister was worried about leaving her alone.

That dream did have some impact on Xu Lian.

At least when it comes to weeding, although she is only 6 years old, she is much more skilled than her older brothers and sisters.

It seems like they learned it without a teacher, as if they could do it without learning!

"Is Ping An going out?"

"Hello, Brother Jianguo! Are you back to visit Uncle Changshan?"

The only map in Xu Ping'an's mind was from Dongying Village to Xiaoqi Town.

The system can only help him this far; he'll have to explore the rest himself.

Lost in thought, he was greeted by someone walking towards him.

Xu Pingan looked up and saw Zhao Jianguo, the youngest son of village party secretary Zhao Changshan.

The name Zhao Jianguo must have been changed later.

As far as I can remember, he was always called Gou Dan (Dog Egg) when we were kids!

Speaking of Zhao Jianguo, he is currently the most successful person in Dongying Village.

The village party secretary, Zhao Changshan, originally had three sons, all of whom secretly joined the army.

After all, in those days, when the Chinese people saw no hope, they had no choice but to risk their lives to make a revolution.

Of the three sons who went, only Zhao Jianguo returned alive.

But once they returned alive, things immediately changed in the Zhao family!

On the earthen wall of Zhao Changshan's house, there are several plaques proclaiming him a martyr's family and a meritorious family!

I heard that Zhao Jianguo was also a minor official in the city.

Why is it just hearsay?

Because Zhao Changshan was a down-to-earth person, he never boasted about this place in the village.

Everyone knows Zhao Jianguo is in the city, but no one knows exactly what he's doing.

Xu Ping'an had no intention of getting close to him, so he nodded and greeted him before continuing on his way to town.

Zhao Jianguo didn't take it seriously.

In his memory, when he left the village, Xu Ping'an was still wearing open-crotch pants and running around with a snotty nose.

We really are just nodding acquaintances!

……

This journey out of the village was destined to be anything but smooth for Xu Ping'an.

Approaching them was a lean young man.

Her hair was parted in the middle, smeared with wood shaving water, and shone with an oily sheen!

He was wearing a gray cloth jacket and black trousers, but they looked much newer than the clothes the system had given Xu Ping'an.

The cuffs of his sleeves were rolled up, revealing a twisted blue snake tattoo on his left forearm.

If this tattoo were in the 21st century, it would be considered a complete disaster.

But in modern times, it is a symbol of status!

Xu Pingan felt that just based on this tattoo, when the winds of change blow, this guy would be in for a world of trouble.

Wait, isn't that Ma Ergou?

The memories compiled by the system can only be recalled by Xu Ping'an digging them out.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I think about it, isn't this Ma San, who wanted to exploit the family's wealth and bully two orphaned girls?

It was precisely because Xu Ping'an transmigrated that his two younger sisters would have had to endure so much hardship if he hadn't!

Therefore, he naturally disliked Ma San!

Ma San lost his father at a young age and lived with his widowed mother, Granny Ma.

Back in the village, everyone called him Xiao Sanzi.

Later, after a trip to the city, I heard that he had become a scoundrel there.

So everyone called him Ma Er Gou!

Of course, if you were to call him "Ma Er Gou" to his face, you'd definitely have to put on a show...

"Hey, isn't this Er Gou? I heard... you want to rent my land?"

Ma Ergou was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage!

Who dares to call me Er Gou?

He looked closer... Xu Pingan?
