"You're never tired when you're out fishing or fighting, but you're tired when you do some housework? Hurry up, I'm waiting for you at home, bring a mop over." After saying that, Ye Cheng rode his bicycle back home.
The two wooden doors in the yard are still creaking and groaning; it's unclear how long they can hold on.
Ye Cheng found a broom, tied a bamboo pole to it, and swept the bedroom walls first.
Damn it, it's still those whitewashed walls, without any paint or anything, and it's covered in dust when you sweep it.
And those spider webs on the ceiling, they'd been woven countless times, old and new webs intertwined, were all pulled down by Ye Cheng in one go, and a few little spiders ran away angrily.
There's also something under the bed; you won't believe it until you see it, and then you'll be shocked.
He swept out several smelly socks that could be used as sticks, and a rat ran out, scaring Ye Cheng so much that he beat it wildly. But the rat was quick enough that it disappeared in no time.
Damn, I haven't seen such a deadly weapon in years.
When Xiaohu arrived, the entire bedroom was full of trash.
"Brother, what are you doing? Are you getting all cleaned up because you're planning to get married?"
"Get out! Is this a place for people to live? How can we live here if it's not cleaned up?"
"But you used to live like this."
Ye Cheng was speechless. That was the original owner of the body; I was reborn.
"Hey, take this and clean the cobwebs off my living room ceiling." Ye Cheng handed the long broom to Xiao Hu.
"Oh, my mom said, do you want her to come over and help you with this?" Xiao Hu said as he worked on it.
"Your mother is so old, I can't bear to make her clean for me."
"Damn, clean it up! The spider webs are still there."
Xiao Hu was clearly trying to dodge the question, but Ye Cheng caught him red-handed.
After setting up the bedroom, Ye Cheng first laid out the newly bought quilt and pillows. Looking at the brand-new quilt, he felt incredibly comfortable.
"Brother, what should we do with this old quilt?"
"Throw it away, it's all moldy."
"Why have you become so particular?" Little Tiger muttered.
It took the two of them almost two hours to clean the bedroom and living room.
Although it couldn't achieve the bright and clean appearance of later generations, at least everything was clean, and the ground was clean too.
Ye Cheng was satisfied. He looked at the yard outside. The yard was not small and there was still soil. Next time, he would clear it out to plant some vegetables and flowers, and raise a dog. This pastoral life couldn't be better.
Seeing Ye Cheng's gaze fixed on the yard again, Xiao Hu jumped in fright; he really didn't want to clean anymore.
"Brother, my mom said she's coming to my house for dinner tonight. She's almost recovered, and she's also prepared those sandworms."
Ye Cheng was tired and didn't want to cook anymore.
At dinner, Xiao Hu's parents were very hospitable and drank some wine with Ye Cheng. They stir-fried sea cucumbers with chives, and the taste was simply amazing.
After a few rounds of drinks, Xiao Hu's father suddenly said, "Acheng, his second uncle said he's going out to sea tomorrow. Are you still going?"
Xiao Hu's second uncle is named Wang Haisheng. He owns a boat and usually goes out to sea to fish and collect fish traps. He always comes back within a day and doesn't stay overnight.
When Wang Haisheng went out to sea, he would call Ye Cheng and Wang Xiaohu to help with the work, and he would give them twenty yuan, which was their main source of income.
Now, Xiao Hu's father couldn't figure out whether Ye Cheng still cared about those twenty yuan, so he asked.
Ye Cheng thought about it. It seemed that Xiao Hu's second uncle was taking care of his nephew and giving them some work to do, but the main reason was that he wanted to take advantage of him. After all, no one would go out to sea for a day for twenty yuan.
Only his nephew and Ye Cheng, two good-for-nothings, went there for fun.
There wasn't much to do at sea; his main task was helping to retrieve the fish traps, which his second uncle had set down in advance.
As things stand, I have my own system now, and I can make money by beachcombing. Going out for a whole day with someone else would be too wasteful.
only...
“Let’s go, we’ll go. We’ll have his second uncle drop us off on the island over there, and we can catch the sea in two hours,” Ye Cheng said.
"Going to the island to go beachcombing?" Little Tiger's dad muttered. "Is that even possible?"
The island Ye Cheng mentioned was an unnamed island, a tiny place where fishermen could stop and rest when they came by. It also had fresh water where they could replenish their water supply.
Working alongside them was boring, but Ye Cheng remembered that there was a beach on that island where they could go beachcombing, which should be interesting.
“Dad, with my brother here, you’re not afraid of not getting anything. This bottle of wine today was earned from beachcombing,” Xiao Hu said.
Xiao Hu's father stopped talking and poured himself a glass of water first.
It's settled then. After having dinner at Xiao Hu's house, Ye Cheng went back alone. Since he had to get up early to go to sea, he planned to go to bed early as well.
Before going to sleep, Ye Cheng checked the system and saw that he had reached 64 points. He had had a good day.
Wait, something's lit up in the system shop. Ye Cheng took a closer look:
[Lucky Aura]: Requires 50 points. Once activated, it allows you to share your luck with others who also possess the system tools. Currently, it is at a low level and can only enjoy a relatively low amount of luck.
Holy crap!
That's great.
What Ye Cheng is most troubled about right now is Xiao Hu's problem. Without the system's bonus, Xiao Hu's harvest from beachcombing is too low every time.
This kind of cooperation model is definitely not sustainable in the long run.
The main problem is, damn it, he's always doing all the work by himself, it's exhausting.
Okay, now that we have this halo, Little Tiger can also enjoy the system's bonus. Although he won't have the same bug-like advantage as me, it will greatly increase his gains.
Ye Cheng clicked the exchange button without hesitation, and an invisible halo appeared around him, which disappeared after a flash.
There's also an extra toggle button on the system, which can be used to turn the aura on or off at will. It's even an active skill! Good, not bad.
To enable Xiaohu to create more value, Ye Cheng exchanged for another shovel. Now, the two swords are combined.
Tomorrow will surely be a day of great harvest.
......
Ye Cheng woke up at 6 a.m.
I glanced at the system first:
Luck value: 80
Points: 4
Okay, his luck is even higher today than yesterday, he's starting to look forward to it.
I called Xiaohu when I went out, and the guy was still half asleep. "Here, you take this shovel. You'll use this from now on."
Xiao Hu yawned, looked at the shovel in his hand, which was exactly the same as Ye Cheng's. He asked curiously, "Brother, when did you buy another one? I didn't see it."
"What do you know besides eating and drinking? Hurry up and get on with it," Ye Cheng said dismissively.
Wang Haisheng's boat was at the dock, and the two of them rode their bikes toward the dock. The sun hadn't risen yet, but there were already quite a few people at the dock.
Fishing at sea has never been an easy job.
"Little Tiger, hurry up!" Little Tiger's second uncle shouted from the boat as soon as they arrived at the dock.
