It was nearly dusk when we returned to Peach Blossom Village.

Looking at the scenery of Peach Blossom Village, Li Xingdao recalled the bustling medical clinics, lively blacksmith shops, and imposing martial arts schools of Baitou County, and his thoughts surged.

With the job panel in hand, you'll definitely need to change jobs after reaching the maximum level of the three basic jobs.

Even if he can't use these professional skills in the city when he changes jobs again, he will always be able to live a better life in this world.

Moreover, if any martial arts school in the county town possesses any extraordinary power, it would always be of great benefit to him if he came into contact with it.

After all, he was also very curious about whether the martial arts schools in this world had any particularly powerful forces. If so, he would naturally try his best to obtain them.

Therefore, he will definitely come back to Baitou County again in the future.

As thoughts raced through his mind, he saw that it was almost evening when he and Zhang Cui returned from Baitou County. He suppressed his feelings, smiled broadly, took Zhang Cui's hand, and walked home with her carrying the things they had bought.

To be honest, the journey was quite tiring. Zhang Cui's legs were weak from walking, and she was covered in sweat and dust.

However, Li Xingdao is in good condition, since his metal element is now far superior to that of ordinary people, reaching more than twice that of ordinary people.

Although I wasn't particularly tired from carrying all that stuff, I was inevitably covered in dust.

After arriving home, he put his things down and saw that Li Lai was smiling and didn't ask any questions, so he checked all the items one by one.

After putting his things away, he washed himself and then cooked dinner with Zhang Cui, eating with a smile.

It was barely dark by the time we finished dinner.

Having only eaten some steamed buns for lunch and walked so far, Li Xingdao was naturally extremely hungry, and ate much more at dinner than before.

However, seeing that it was time to harvest the grain, Li Lai obviously didn't mind that he ate a lot, and his face was full of smiles.

Seeing that he had finished eating and was doing nothing, twisting his body and moving around as usual, Li Lai didn't say anything. After watching him move around, he went back to his room to sleep.

After Li Xingdao moved around for a while, when it got dark, he saw Zhang Cui take a chicken out of the henhouse. He immediately understood that this was the chicken they had agreed upon for the next half month, which was to be cooked for him the next day.

With the busy farming season about to begin, it's clear that we need to give him some extra nourishment.

Upon seeing this, Li Xingdao smiled.

He felt satisfied and helped Zhang Cui tie up the chicken. Then he held her soft, white body and played with it for a while. Only then, with Zhang Cui's compliant expression, did he calmly return to the inner room, lay down on the bed, enjoy the fan she was fanning him, and slowly fall asleep.

The next morning, Li Xingdao woke up early, ate breakfast, and enjoyed the comfortable feeling of eating a lot of food and letting the fatigue from the previous rounds of tree cutting completely disappear.

Just as they were about to help Zhang Cui kill the chicken, they suddenly heard a series of crisp footsteps.

Looking up, I saw Li Xiaohua, smiling as she walked in with her delicate figure.

As Li Xiaohua entered the courtyard, she excitedly walked up to Li Xingdao, wearing clean floral trousers, and looked at him with a smile, saying:

"Brother Xingdao, you went to the city yesterday. Was the city fun? I've never been to the city before."

Getting into the city is not an easy thing.

It took Li Xingdao and Zhang Cui, both adults, a whole day to make a round trip to the city, which took them a while.

Moreover, Li Xiaohua is a delicate young girl. So it's normal that Li Xiaohua, who is now all grown up, has never been to the city, even though she is a normal person. Besides, she is a girl, not a boy.

Hearing that Li Xiaohua, as the daughter of a small landlord, had never been to the city, Li Xingdao was not surprised at all, and replied with a smile, "Good, the city is great."

"What's so great about it? What's different about the city?"

Hearing Li Xingdao say this, Li Xiaohua's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but speak up.

"Anywhere is fine."

Li Xingdao thought for a moment with an honest expression, then said three words seriously, leaving Li Xiaohua speechless.

But after thinking about it, what could a simpleton possibly know? So he immediately stopped thinking about it.

Turning her head, she saw that Zhang Cui had already killed the chicken and was plucking its feathers. She couldn't help but smile and go over to her.

"Second Aunt, are you killing a chicken for Brother Xingdao?"

"Yes, the busy farming season is coming soon. Your brother Xingdao needs to eat something to nourish himself so he will have the strength to do farm work during the busy season."

Zhang Cui glanced at Li Xiaohua, deftly plucking the feathers and putting them into a sack, while smiling and talking as she continued plucking chicken feathers in the hot water.

"Could you tell me about what's happening in the city?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaohua couldn't help but speak up, her pretty, delicate face filled with longing, "I heard the city is very clean, with clothing shops, schools, and even cosmetics. Second Aunt, didn't you buy any cosmetics when you went to the city this time?"

"The city is indeed clean, and it has everything. However, Second Aunt mainly came to the city this time to buy shovels, hoes, and oil and salt. She didn't pay attention to other things, but she did see a rouge shop."

Zhang Cui couldn't help but smile when she heard Li Xiaohua's words.

Recalling the scenery of the county town, I felt much more relaxed and couldn't help but chat with Li Xiaohua, making her eyes sparkle.

After she finished speaking, Li Xiaohua couldn't help but say, "I definitely want to go to the city sometime too."

After saying that, a determined look flashed in Li Xiaohua's eyes.

Then she suddenly remembered something, slapped her forehead, and couldn't help but say to Li Xingdao, "Brother Xingdao, look at me, I was so busy talking to you about going to the city that I forgot to ask you if you wanted to go fishing."

As Li Xiaohua spoke, she said with a smile, "My aunt and several uncles and aunts all want to stay home and rest; they're too lazy to move. Knowing you love fishing, they specifically asked me to come and ask you if you'd be willing to catch some fish for them to eat."

"If you're willing, each family can contribute five eggs in exchange for you fishing for them."

"I figured you love fishing so much, Brother Xingdao, you wouldn't mind, so I came to ask you."

As Xiaohua spoke, her delicate body skipped over to Li Xingdao's side and squatted down in front of him.

With a youthful fragrance emanating from her, she squatted in front of Li Xingdao, her delicate face beaming with a smile that revealed eight pearly white teeth, and began to speak.

Well said, but Li Xingdao raised an eyebrow: "Give them fish to eat, and trade them eggs? But I have to harvest the crops tomorrow, so I only have one day today."

"Just cast three lines like before. Brother Xingdao, if you want, you can catch enough fish in a day to feed those families."

"The men in their family are too tired from working at the brick kiln. They don't want to move when they come back, and they're short of fish to eat. Li Gou is too lazy to work alone, so they're all hoping for you."
