Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

Although Zhang Jialiang has rich experience in fishing and is very skilled in the techniques, no matter what the matter is, if too many people do it and the competition is too fierce, the results will not be so good.

Looking at the many people fishing around him, Zhang Jialiang felt helpless. It seemed that he could not expect to have any catch today. Fortunately, he was not counting on these things. With someone accompanying him fishing, he was not lonely. This was the only way he could comfort himself.

However, when he found an opportunity to leave the river and wanted to enter the hunting space behind a bush, he suddenly discovered that the system had some changes.

Originally, the screen showed the avatars of Zhang Jialiang's female relatives. The avatars of the female relatives with income were clearly visible, while the avatars of the female relatives without income were a little blurry.

The people whose portraits are clear are mother Wang Shujuan, eldest sister Zhang Jiazhen, second sister Zhang Jiani, fourth sister Zhang Jiaxiu, and fifth sister Zhang Jiamei.

The ones with blurred heads are the sixth sister Zhang Jiahui, the seventh sister Zhang Jiating, the eighth sister Zhang Jiali, and finally Zhang Jialiang’s grandmother.

Ever since Zhang Jialiang came into this world and had the system, the avatars on the screen were Zhang Jialiang's mother, second sister Zhang Jiani, and fourth sister Zhang Jiaxiu.

Later, the eldest sister got a job, and Zhang Jiamei also had work and some income, and their profile pictures became clearer. This is normal. The system is a place where those who eat gigolos win without doing anything, so it is logical that the female relatives will be highlighted only when they have income.

What surprised Zhang Jialiang today was that another person's avatar appeared on the system screen, and that avatar turned out to be his own.

This made Zhang Jialiang very confused. Was there something wrong with the system?

I am a man, so can I only live off my female relatives?

Can men do it too?

The system is too cruel. The one who is living off you actually ends up living off you. Is this still called living off you?

This change only started today. He knew very well that there was no change in the system yesterday. As for the reason, he would find out by checking.

Zhang Jialiang clicked on his blurry profile picture, and some information immediately appeared on the screen.

After reading it carefully, Zhang Jialiang finally understood the reason. It turned out that today was the first anniversary of his arrival in this world, and the system was updated and patched at 12:00 last night.

In order to better adapt to the environment of this world, the system quietly added a patch. This patch is specifically aimed at the original strict restrictions on Zhang Jialiang's work and job hunting. The purpose is to allow Zhang Jialiang to survive better in this world.

This patch cancels the severe punishment for Zhang Jialiang to find a job and work, which means that now Zhang Jialiang can have a job and go to work.

Now he was very happy. In that era, being unemployed was a concern for him and his family.

For Zhang Jialiang himself, it is not that he cannot find a job, but the strict constraints of the system. It is too much of a loss to be fined for finding a job.

Originally, if you find a job and work, you will be fined 100 yuan per month. What kind of job can earn 100 yuan these days?

Zhang Jialiang cannot find such a job, and he would not go even if he did. After working hard for a month, all the money he earned would be confiscated by the system as a fine. Even a fool would not do that.

Even if he just lost his job and lost some people, Zhang Jialiang would accept it. After all, he has been through this for so many years.

Now the system has finally been kind to him and allows him to go back to work without being fined. This is of course a great thing.

Nowadays, work does not just mean making money, but also involves personal identity, status, reputation, etc. Now this problem has finally been solved.

However, due to the characteristics of the system, even if it is now open and gives him the opportunity to find a job, the system still has strict requirements for work.

The system requires that, first of all, you cannot be too tired at work, and you cannot do too much physical labor. The system disdains this kind of work. It is too embarrassing to do this kind of work when you have the system.

This is also in line with Zhang Jialiang's own thinking. He himself is unwilling to do heavy physical work.

Another requirement is that it cannot be a very mentally demanding job. Zhang Jialiang agreed with this because he could not find such a job and he could not do it himself.

The final requirement is that one can only be a temporary worker and cannot become a regular worker. Originally, the host's going to work does not conform to the characteristics of the system. Now the system has made a patch and opened a hole in order for the host to adapt to the social environment. However, this hole cannot be too big, otherwise it will conflict too much with the purpose of the system and cause system disorder.

After seeing the detailed information of this patch, Zhang Jialiang was not satisfied with the system's hesitant and unsatisfactory approach. Since it was already open, it might as well be completely open. It was really unsatisfactory to be so hesitant and secretive.

But no matter what, it has opened a small gap for Zhang Jialiang. Even if he is a temporary worker, he will have a job in the future.

In the future, he can shut up those who talk about him behind his back, and his family members will no longer worry about him. It will also be easier for him to find a wife in the future. He has gained a lot of benefits, which is much better than nothing.

After Zhang Jialiang finished dealing with various matters in the hunting space, he came back to the river and continued fishing.

There were quite a lot of people living by the river. There was someone every certain distance, and you could even hear people talking clearly.

About 10 meters to the right of Zhang Jialiang, there were two people chatting. They were both in their thirties. Judging from their expressions and the tone of their voices, they were very anxious.

"Da Zhuang, the price of grain has increased a lot now. Your family must be having a hard time now."

“Who says it’s not true? My wife has a rural hukou, and my two children also have rural hukou. The three of them have no food rations.

I am the only one working and earning a salary. Every month, I spend all my money on food. Normally, I can barely afford to eat. Now that food prices have risen, I won’t be able to eat enough this month.”

"Ugh!

Although our family is better off with a city hukou, there are many people in the family, including parents and brothers and sisters.

And those little bastards of mine are really eating me to death. They are all big eaters.

I used to have to buy some food every month, and now that food prices have gone up I feel really bad, but I can't just watch my wife and children starve, so I thought of going outside to fish.

But, look at how many people there are, it seems like we won’t gain anything today.

Oh! I really don’t want to go home. It’s so painful to see my wife and children hungry! ”

"Well, that's true, we are all the same, you are better than me.

I heard from my relatives in my hometown that the drought this year is very serious and the grain harvest is expected to be poor. If this is true, it will be fatal.

You are better off, as you have food rations at least. But our family is in a very difficult situation.

Today I came to fish, and the kid's mother took the kids to dig wild vegetables. If I don't think of a way, I'll have nothing to eat. It's so uncomfortable to be hungry!"

"Really?

Is the drought that severe?

If the harvest is really bad, our life will be even more difficult. Although my family has food rations, it is not enough to eat. Who made me give birth to several boys?

They are like wolf cubs, eating without caring about their lives. It seems that I have to let my wife and the children dig some wild vegetables to save some food, otherwise it will be more difficult in the future. "

"The drought is indeed serious. It's almost time to harvest wheat, so grain production will definitely decrease, but we don't know exactly how much it will decrease.

But food prices will definitely go up again. I don’t know what to do. I hope I can get through these few months and things will be better in the fall.”

The two grown men sighed while fishing and worried about their future.
