"Honey, what are you doing bringing all this wood back?"
That evening, Liu Hai looked at the yard full of wood and asked with some confusion.
"Make furniture!"
"I plan to divide the west wing into two rooms. One of them will be connected to the living room, and the inner room will be our daughter's bedroom!"
"The door to that room remains unchanged. Our children are all grown up now, and it's time for them to have their own rooms!"
Lin Xue took out the old bamboo basket from home that afternoon and mended it. If it wasn't repaired, she wouldn't be able to use it to catch fish tomorrow morning.
"By the way, our boss praised your fish dumplings this afternoon. He even asked me to ask you if you plan to sell them?"
"He said your fish dumplings are even more delicious than those in restaurants, and you'd definitely make money if you sold them!"
Liu Hai took a warm bath in the yard. Both children were asleep tonight, probably because they were too tired during the day. Even little Zhu Zi couldn't stay awake and went to bed early.
"Not for sale!"
"I have my own plans. Selling fish dumplings requires ensuring a stable supply of fish, but the fishponds we catch will probably be emptied in a few more times!"
"I'd rather just sell fish directly. Making fish dumplings isn't easy; if the fish bones aren't removed properly, it's a risk!"
Selling snacks is out of the question; that would be even more tiring than farming, requiring working from dawn till dusk.
In the past two days, Lin Xue has already figured out her plan. She intends to save some money from this era, open her own shop, and hire people to work for her.
Since she started doing missions, which world hasn't she been an absolute gem?
Apart from the time she helped 629, when has she ever worked herself to the bone?
"You decide what to do; I was just offering a suggestion!"
As long as his wife doesn't go out gambling, Liu Hai is already thankful; he wouldn't dare ask for anything more from this little devil.
The two chatted about some everyday things before going to bed.
Although the two always slept in the same bed, unfortunately, due to the immense work pressure and Liu Hai's excessive fatigue during the day, they were both quite well-behaved at night.
Before dawn the next day, Zhu Zi got up early.
When Lin Xue got up, she noticed a light coming from her kitchen. When she went in, she saw that Zhu Zi was cooking millet porridge!
"Was the water just boiled?"
Lin Xue lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. She found that the millet was not yet cooked, but the water had already started to bubble.
"Yes, it's just boiled!"
After confirming that the water had just boiled, Lin Xue took a few eggs from the jar next to her, washed them, and threw them in.
"When you cook porridge in the mornings, remember to add a few eggs. We'll be very busy for the next few days, so we need to eat something good to nourish ourselves!"
After finishing all that, Lin Xue went out to wash up.
"I understand, but we don't have many eggs left. Why don't we go buy some chicks to raise? That way, it'll be easier to get eggs later!"
Eggs weren't cheap these days. Although his mother no longer went to the casino, she demanded more from her mother in terms of food and drink.
Zhu Zi is heartbroken to have to eat one or two eggs every day!
He was also worried that if he didn't let Lin Xue eat, she would go to the casino again and squander her money.
The little boy was torn between two options. Luckily, Lin Xue didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would definitely have called him a "stingy bastard"!
There's not much to say about the morning; it's just about catching fish in the small pond in the woods and then selling them near the factory.
On her way home, Lin Xue bought some household items and tools needed for woodworking.
"bite!"
"If the host wants to do woodworking, how about we choose the cheat code of being proficient in woodworking in this world?"
Seeing that Lin Xue had bought a lot of things needed for woodworking, 629 immediately came out to express his opinion.
"No way, you're underestimating me by saying I should waste a golden finger spot just for doing a little carpentry?"
After hearing 629's suggestion, Lin Xue couldn't help but purse her lips.
Don't forget what era this is. War is coming soon. Why would you learn carpentry now?
"But host, this woodworking skill is also very useful! Not only can it be used to make exquisite furniture, but it can also help you advance your puppetry skills!"
629 doesn't understand why Lin Xue always excludes this carpentry expert.
“Tongzi, I never said that my carpentry skills were useless, but they can’t help me live a better life in this world.”
"It might seem good now, but when war comes, will carpentry skills be enough to save your life? Will you be able to take your family away from the war?"
"Perhaps one day in the future, we will have to move our whole family and embark on a journey of escape."
"Rather than becoming a carpenter, what I need is the ability to protect myself! And this ability must be something I can use openly and honestly!"
Lin Xue sighed. Of course she knew that any ability that could be recorded as a cheat code was definitely not simple.
But things have priorities, and the golden finger also has its time to appear.
"So, does the host wish to choose the cheat system now?"
The system took a look and asked Lin Xue about the several cheat codes that the God System had provided this time.
"Tell me about it. It's good to select the best ones sooner rather than later!"
Since the system didn't ask her to choose a cheat code later this time, it must mean that there are some good cheat codes available this time, so there's no need to try to change it.
"bite!"
"The cheat codes for this mission are as follows, please choose carefully!"
[Golden Finger 1: Proficiency in woodworking allows you to become an excellent carpenter, crafting countless exquisite pieces of furniture. But a carpenter does much more than just make furniture…]
Second cheat ability: Godlike marksmanship. Having excellent marksmanship can help the host survive better during times of war! This cheat ability has the function of hitting the bullseye every time and permanently provides a pistol with unlimited ammo.
Golden Finger Three: Martial Arts Master. Choosing this golden finger will instantly transform the host into a martial arts master. Flying over rooftops and appearing and disappearing unpredictably will be a piece of cake.
Cheat Code Four: Gun Expert. Choosing this cheat code instantly transforms the host into a gun expert. Not only can they assemble and master various firearms, but they will also inherit the ability to manufacture firearms. A free bonus is an instant-fire pistol with unlimited ammo!
Golden Finger Five: Basic Skills. By selecting this golden finger, the host can pass on the basic skills gained from it to others. Learners will receive a system boost, increasing their success rate by 50% based on their talent!
"As the host said, we will be going through a period of war. We hope that you will choose your cheat system carefully!"
After the system finished speaking, Lin Xue considered it carefully and finally chose the Golden Finger Four: Gun Expert.
Although this cheat doesn't have the ability to hit the target every time, it can make it easy to manufacture guns and modify them later.
Moreover, marksmanship requires a lot of time to practice for others, but for Lin Xue, who has strong mental power, it's just a matter of raising her hand.
