Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Some of the older men in the village were filled with remorse.

Why weren't widow Xia allowed to participate in winter fishing back then? How many fish would have been lost if she hadn't been allowed to participate!

At this time, there are no restrictions on fishing in the area. The mountains and lakes are rich in resources, and their mining methods are relatively primitive, allowing most of the time for nature to recover and thrive.

Therefore, fishing often requires a lot of effort, but the harvest is barely enough.

It relied on brute force and the exhaustion of strong men.

Now that the fishing season is over, the villagers all look to Xia's small team. They have a clear division of labor, hitting the target wherever they are directed, and leaving no net untouched.

The teams carrying the nets and transporting the goods also worked in relay mode, and the seemingly petite girls were all quick and efficient.

What about all those times they fell down?

Every year after the winter fishing season ends, several strong men suffer from frostbite. But what are the health problems they develop? (They're good at enduring pain.)

Some quick-witted people immediately connected the dots and figured out the reason.

"Hey! Have you forgotten? Comrade Xia is an eagle-eyed man!" Someone who had taken care of the experimental field slapped his thigh, sending a trail of ice shards flying.

"Yes, I remember now!"

"That's amazing," someone murmured to themselves.

"Why don't you say Xia Zhiqing is amazing? He was a key player too, wasn't he?" Several of Xia Pu's fans couldn't help but take credit for him.

"That's because he's following his sister's orders."

"What's the big deal? It just means you have better eyesight."

"If you're so eager to show off, why don't you do it yourself!"

"I......"

To avoid further arguing and wasting time, Xia Youmi and the team leader rearranged things, confirming that their team would get a larger share of the fish if they won.

He immediately took Xia Pu and Chen Yong to another designated fishing spot and taught them how to fish.

She didn't rely solely on her eyesight; there were quite a few unconventional techniques involved.

With piles of results right in front of them, who could disobey?

then,

The team has never had such an efficient and successful winter fishing operation.

Praises came from all directions, and Xia Youyu accepted them all with a smile.

It keeps popping into my mind every year. I don't know why it also wants to taste the flavor of fish, wondering if it will be even more beautiful than the data.

When the winter fishing season ended, the people around the pile of small fish grinned from ear to ear.

"Sister, you're my sister!!!" Chen Yong let go, and the group of them were dividing up their spoils.

"She's my sister!"

"Get out of my way, I'll admit it too!"

"!"

"Haha, don't be stingy, Xiao Pu."

"Yeah! Don't look so sullen. Your sister's here today, we're not afraid of your fists." Some team members chimed in, daring to tease Xia Pu. The boy's expression tightened again and again, but he finally couldn't help but break down and started laughing and joking with everyone.

The intense battle we just fought was no less exhilarating than a snowball fight.

It's absolutely addictive.

Sure enough, Chen Yong, who was still being coy this morning, was immediately able to hug the fish and call her "sister."

The group was all smiles. It's no exaggeration to say that the fish distributed to the team couldn't fit in their own buckets, and they had to make several trips back and forth to transport them.

Other villagers and educated youth also benefited, experiencing a winter with abundant fish, unlike any they had ever had before.

The chefs each displayed their unique skills.

I tried all sorts of local and other ways of eating that hadn't been invented yet.

Pickled, smoked, roasted, fried, air-dried, meatballs, fish cakes, fish pies, fish powder.

Everyone in the village who was related to the villagers received fish of various shapes as New Year's gifts.

To avoid overfishing, Xia Youmi directly announced that he would not participate in winter fishing next year.

Xia Pu did not participate either.

After this peaceful year, the two of them will have to face the most important thing—the resumption of the college entrance examination.

In terms of procedures, Xia Youmi is no longer an issue.

She has already decided on her target universities and subjects.

However, she still needs to prepare well for the exam. She had studied humanities and economics, but had never dabbled in science.

Even if the questions are less difficult than in later generations, given that the acceptance rate for this exam is less than 5%, success cannot be guaranteed.

As for Xia Pu, she didn't care.

If they could pass the exam on their own under such difficult conditions and in such a learning environment as in the original story, there's no reason why they can't now.

The courtyard has entered a learning mode.

In fact, Xia Pu's basic knowledge was already very solid, but seeing Xia Youmi's enthusiastic way of doing the problems, he couldn't help but continue to consolidate and expand his knowledge.

Mingming could get quick and accurate answers from his sister whenever he asked her about the contents of any book.

Even though she's so talented, my sister is still working hard.

He's still a long way off.

......

Half a year has passed.

Xia Pu kept some chaotic things out of the house, but in fact, things at their educated youth settlement were never peaceful. Some people who came to their house under the guise of official business saw their textbooks and knew that the two of them were studying, so they couldn't help but cause trouble.

One minute they want to join, the next they want to report it.

Xia Pu was quite efficient; he would handle things outside and then tell Xia Youmi about them as a way to spice things up.

It was both a source of amusement and a reminder to her who had ill intentions.

Don't easily believe what the other person says.

In Xia Pu's mind, her older sister was a genius, but she was bad at handling troublesome and trivial matters and was easily framed.

You need to take good care of yourself.

Occasionally, when he's not around.

Matchmakers will secretly approach Xia Youmi, partly because of Xia Pu, and partly because of her being over thirty.

This is not surprising.

Xiao Pu is now seventeen years old, which is three years below the legal marriage age.

The other party didn't seem like someone who could stay in a small place peacefully. They thought he had a lot of potential and that their daughter couldn't handle him, so they never even considered marriage. They thought it would be better to build a good relationship so they could help each other in the future.

Other families are just trying their luck, hoping that if things work out, they can also move to the big city.

The female lead, supporting female characters, and other outsiders are simply captivated by his personal charm. As long as it's this person, what difference does it make whether they stay or leave?

These events significantly disrupted Xia Pu's peaceful life.

Xia Youmi was thoroughly enjoying the play.

With the system's reminders, she avoided going to any place where the male and female protagonists appeared.

Even if it's unavoidable, there will be no eye contact or private conversations.

Several times, when the plot reached a certain point, she almost bumped into Xia Pu, who happened to be there as well. Then Xia Youmi would slip away and leave the role to Pu, who had matured many times over and transformed into the beloved male supporting character.

He felt both self-conscious and helpless, so he studied even harder, determined to stay far away from these oddballs.

As summer arrived, Xia Youmi and Xia Pu went to see Grandma Ruan off.

When I received the letter, things were about to go wrong.

Coincidentally, the publishing house picked her up for a business trip to the provincial capital, and they packed their bags on the spot, wrote a report, and set off.

I met Grandma Ruan, who was still somewhat conscious.

Xia Pu stayed with her during her final days, and Xia Youmi was treated like her eldest daughter whom she hadn't seen for many years. Everyone was only allowed to be happy, not sad.

Lixing arrived a step late, but that didn't diminish the final beauty of the moment.

The accompanying assistant told the two that Teacher Li Xing herself was also hospitalized, and upon hearing that her grandmother was not well, she insisted on returning to the provincial capital.

Xia Youmi was powerless to help them with their illnesses, but the atmosphere was by no means hopeless.

Instead, it was surprisingly peaceful and warm.

With people who care about you and appreciate you, you have created value in your life and have no regrets.
