The proficiency system is not limited to a single skill, but can be fully deployed.

Even sweeping the floor can improve your proficiency.

The same can be done with chopping wood.

Moreover, chopping wood improves your proficiency in carpentry, which is also a practical skill.

Hearing Chen Yuxuan's words, he stopped and stroked her hair lovingly, "We'll be eating soon, just wait a moment."

"Brother, where did the old hen come from? I remember that we don't have any old hen at home."

Chen Yu'an squatted down and looked at Chen Yuxuan's cute little face.

"Xuanxuan, do you believe that I can do magic?"

"What is magic?"

"Magic is the ability to make non-existent things appear. The old hen was created by me using magic."

Chen Yuxuan's eyes were wide open, sparkling with surprise.

"so amazing!"

"Then can we get an old hen every day?"

"this..."

Chen Yu'an replied: "It depends on luck. Maybe it's better than an old hen."

"Brother, can you teach me?"

"teach you?"

"What do you think you should do?"

"I want to be able to conjure up a mom and a dad, because other children have parents, right?"

Looking at Chen Yuxuan's little eyes full of expectation.

Chen Yu'an was silent.

He found no memories of his parents.

Or rather.

He had deliberately forgotten these memories in the past, and they became increasingly faint as time went by.

He can't remember.

in memory.

Only he and his sister were left to rely on each other.

"Xuanxuan, Dad and Mom went to a very far place."

"Brother will protect you. Do you believe me?"

Chen Yuxuan nodded.

"I believe my brother. I don't need dad and mom anymore."

The people in the yard finished their day's work one after another.

Smelling the aroma of chicken soup in the air, they couldn't help but drool.

Jia Zhang came out of the house, looked around, and muttered, "Who is the unlucky guy who made such delicious chicken soup, deliberately making people drool!"

Next to her, Qin Huairu was also swallowing her saliva, hoping that Sha Zhu would return home quickly as her house was almost empty.

"Qin Huairu, go see them and see if you can borrow something to eat." A voice suggested.

"Mom, I've already checked. It seems that they just moved in recently. We're not familiar with each other, and I don't want to appear too rude." Qin Huairu explained while hiding her embarrassment.

"As long as you go, they will become your friends. Are you going to watch your eldest son and grandson go hungry? They are your blood too!" The tone of his voice made me feel unable to refuse.

Qin Huairu was unhappy, she knew that no one in the world could kill her, but at the same time she didn't want to see the one she loved suffer. Jia Zhangshi's frankness and sincerity made Qin Huairu fight back.

Jia Zhang's face was filled with anger. She had lost her mind, as if she wanted her strong wings to be bound forever. She was no longer the Jia Zhang she once knew.

Qin Huairu decided not to say anything more. She turned her attention to Sha Zhu, and when he swaggered in with something in his hand, she quickly went forward to greet him.

"Why did you come back so late?" Qin Huairu tried to hide her inner anxiety.

Sha Zhu smiled as he watched Qin Huairu busying around him. Although she took his lunch box away, he was willing in his heart. He liked being warmly received by her every time he went home, as if she was a woman waiting for her husband to return.

The lunch box exuded the aroma of chicken. Sha Zhu sniffed in surprise: "Who is cooking chicken?"

Qin Huairu took out the lunch box and did not respond to him.

"Mom, it's time for dinner." Qin Huairu gave the signal to call the family to eat.

The voice gradually sounded: "Everyone is ready to eat."

When the door was about to close, Qin Huairu replied to Sha Zhu: "We don't know the new neighbor."

"New here?" Sha Zhu scratched his head. He didn't think seriously.

"Let them break the ice themselves," Sha Zhu said nonchalantly.

In the evening, Chen Yu'an and his sister enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, their mouths were full of oil. Although no other seasonings were added, in this era, a little oil is enough to satisfy people. This is not only Chen Yu'an's subjective feeling, but also the objective need of their bodies. The dryness and thirst on their bodies imply the preciousness of oil and water.

Chen Yu'an is 18 years old this year. He is strong, but his skin is dark and lacks nourishment. His six-year-old sister Chen Yuxuan is like a cracked piece of land, but has bright eyes. With the nourishment of chicken, their skin seems to be revived.

Chen Yu'an was happy to see his sister's plum blossom-like smile, and he secretly made up his mind to let her live a good life.

While they were having dinner, there was a knock on the door. Chen Yu'an suddenly said to her sister, "Xuanxuan, continue eating. I'll go check on you."

Chen Yu'an opened the door and saw an old man standing at the door, with a resolute face and powerful eyes. Chen Yu'an recognized him at a glance. He was an elder in the yard, Yi Zhonghai.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Chen Yu'an, he quickly glanced at the table and greeted her warmly: "Yu'an, welcome to our yard. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me at any time and I will do my best to help you solve them."

*

The kind old man Chen Yu'an was facing had a complicated expression on his face. He knew the true face of Yi Zhonghai, a man who claimed to be noble but was called an old fox behind his back. He thought highly of himself but was actually selfish. Because he liked to pretend to be a moral saint to teach others, people privately gave him a nickname: "The Lord of Morality".

Chen Yu'an would not be easily **ed by friendly faces, but he also did not want to conflict with someone who greeted him with a smile, so he nodded and called him "Uncle".

Yi Zhonghai said: "There is nothing special about this visit. I just want to tell you that you will attend our all-school meeting later and introduce you to everyone. After all, we are neighbors, so it's a good idea to get to know each other."

When Chen Yu'an heard the words "general meeting", he understood what was going on. It was just a place for the three old men to show off their power. Although he knew it might be a place of controversy, Chen Yu'an still agreed because he might need to use these neighbors in the future.

After all, since he and his sister were going to live here, they would have to deal with people around them, and he would go to work at the steel mill tomorrow, so he might need some help from his neighbors at work. As for those bad behaviors, he had his own way of dealing with them.

So he responded, "Sure, we'll be there as soon as we finish eating."

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with this attitude. He glanced at the chicken soup in the kitchen and left.

"Brother, who was that person just now?" Xiao Yuxuan asked curiously after finishing eating.

"Oh, it's a neighbor in the yard," Chen Yu'an replied with a smile, "Then do you want to get to know the other neighbors?"

"Yes!" my sister answered expectantly.

"Then let's go together after dinner."

After dinner, as everyone arrived, the air in the yard was filled with discussions.

"Didn't we just hold a college-wide meeting a few days ago? Why is it being held again?" someone asked in confusion.

"I heard there are new residents, so I want to introduce them to everyone."

"A new resident?"

"Yes, I heard that he was the one who inherited the Chen family's business."

"It should be Lao Chen's nephew."

As people were discussing, the auditorium gradually filled up. The three old men had already sat at the eight-immortal table for discussion, while Chen Yu'an and his sister stood in the crowd, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

Xiao Yuxuan was both excited and nervous, and hid behind Chen Yu'an shyly.

At this time, a bearded, rectangular-faced man waved to him, "Come here!" He was Xu Damao, a typical bad guy in the original work, and Chen Yunan knew it.

Elsewhere, Sha Zhu was also calling them. Sha Zhu was Xu Damao's mortal enemy and opposite.

Seeing Sha Zhu also calling out, Xu Damao immediately became furious: "Sha Zhu, are you sick? Why do you do whatever I do?"

Sha Zhu disagreed: "There is no rule that says I can do it but you can't."

Xu Damao was so angry that he almost started fighting.

"Do you want to compete with me?" Sha Zhu stood up. His tall body made Xu Damao look particularly small.

Xu Damao immediately stopped.

"I-I won't argue with a nobody like you."

Sha Zhu smiled, and everyone else in the yard laughed too.

This has also become a landscape in the yard.

At this time, the second uncle Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said, "Everyone, come and sit down. The meeting has begun."

Chen Yu'an chose to sit next to Sha Zhu. Although Sha Zhu was a little stupid, he had a good heart. Xu Damao was full of bad ideas. Dealing with him too much would only do harm.

When Chen Yu'an and Xiao Yuxuan walked towards Shazhu's position, Xu Damao was furious.

"Silly Zhu, just wait for me!"

Sha Zhu happily cleared space for Chen Yu'an to sit down.

"Boy, you have good taste!"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai announced: "Now that everyone is here, let's start the whole institute meeting now."

"The purpose of this meeting is just one, and that is to welcome our new neighbors. We will introduce ourselves to each other later."

Then Yi Zhonghai turned to Chen Yu'an: "Chen Yu'an, let's start with you."

Chen Yu'an stood up and nodded to everyone present.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Yu'an, and this is my sister Chen Yuxuan. I hope to get your help and support in the future."

"Great, everyone is so enthusiastic."

"Yes, this child really looks like Mr. Chen."

"The Chen family has really good genes. Both children are very cute."

"If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to us. We have a strong relationship with Lao Chen."

After Chen Yu'an's greetings, it was soon the turn of other residents in the yard to introduce themselves.

Starting with the three elderly people, and then the rest of the people came on stage one by one.

Chen Yu'an is very good at dealing with these neighbors and knows everything about them.

Sha Zhu is not the kind of person who can sit still.

So all these people he met introduced themselves to him, but the boring introductions made him sleepy.

In order to avoid boredom, Sha Zhu started chatting with Chen Yu'an who was sitting next to him.

"I mean Chen Yu'an, right? Last time I saw you greeting that hideous guy, you better be careful."

"I remember that when my uncle passed away, he received a compensation. That person might be interested in your money and wants to test you by showing kindness."

But he just finished speaking.

Xu Damao, who had been paying attention to their conversation, slammed the table and stood up and said, "Shazhu, are you saying bad things about me behind my back?"

"What bad things do you have to say? Isn't it clear to everyone?"

Sha Zhu took out his pocket, looking nonchalant as if it had nothing to do with him.

Xu Damao was furious.

"Silly Zhu, just wait for me!"

"Chen Yu'an, don't listen to what Sha Zhu says, he only talks nonsense."

Sha Zhu stood up and directly retorted: "Who are you talking about?"

"Do you dare to repeat it again? I think you deserve a beating again."

Xu Damao was still tit-for-tat, "Do you dare to do this in the courtyard meeting?"

"Don't worry, just see if I can do it!" Then, Sha Zhu prepared to rush forward.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai slammed the table hard, "Silly Zhu! Sit down quickly, we are in a meeting now, is it okay for you to be so noisy?"

"Other people's self-introductions also need to be respected. You are being disrespectful!"

The third uncle Yan Bugui, who had great influence in the courtyard, also responded, "Shazhu, sit down."

After everyone in the hospital reacted in this way, Sha Zhu could only sit down reluctantly. He scolded Chen Yu'an: "See, he got angry as soon as I hit his mark."

Chen Yu'an just smiled.

In this dramatic situation, both sides are not easy to deal with.

Just like that, the sky grew darker and darker, and finally everyone finished introducing themselves, and the party in the courtyard came to an end.

Everyone took their own stool and went home.

At this time, many people took the initiative to greet Chen Yu'an.

Everyone had smelled the aroma of chicken soup from Chen Yu'an's house in the afternoon, and expressed envy for having never tasted it.

Chen Yu'an responded politely to the neighbors' kindness.

At this time, Qin Huairu twisted her waist and walked up with a friendly look.

"Yuan, you can come to see me when you have nothing to do. We live in the center of the yard, so it's very convenient to come here. Don't be so polite."

There was no way she would miss such a rare opportunity to build relationships.

Chen Yu'an has his own pension and food, he is not restricted by his parents, and he is in his youth, all of which are reasons that attract people to approach him.

The important thing is that Chen Yu'an is much more handsome than Shazhu.

People generally don't want to deal with ugly people.

Faced with this situation, Sha Zhu did not understand Qin Huairu's intention, and added for her: "That's right, Chen Yu'an, if you have any difficulties, just come to Sister Qin. Sister Qin is a well-known kind person in our courtyard, with a kind heart."

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu and said to him with a shy expression: "Stop talking nonsense all the time!"

This made Sha Zhu even more itchy, and he thought to himself that if there was no one else around, he would take action directly without having to worry about the situation.

When Chen Yu'an saw the hints between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, he just shook his head helplessly.

Sha Zhu is still the same Sha Zhu. He helps others count money even after being sold.

Facing Qin Huairu's enthusiasm, Chen Yu'an chose to decline. He kept a proper distance from Qin Huairu and said, "Thank you, Sister Qin. I will think of you first when I have something to do in the future."

Qin Huairu felt that Chen Yu'an's attitude was a bit reserved, and couldn't help but worry:
