Setting a New Goal

Zhang Chunhua hurried in, and when she saw the large bowl of fish, her whole body stiffened on the spot.

"Mommy!"

"Guoguo made something delicious!"

Seeing Zhang Chunhua walk in, Xiao Shitou spoke with a happy voice.

Looking at her youngest son's heartfelt smile, Zhang Chunhua opened her mouth wanting to say something, but for a moment, she didn't know how to speak.

"Mommy, you're back!"

"I was going to save some for Mommy."

At this moment, Chen Xuan also walked out of the kitchen and happened to see Zhang Chunhua with a complicated expression, so he quickly spoke.

"Er Gou!"

Zhang Chunhua subconsciously called out, but her body still unconsciously sat down on the stool.

"Mommy, eat quickly, or it will get cold later!"

Chen Xuan said with a smile, while his body was gulping down the fish, even the bones he tried his best to chew and swallow.

Looking at her son's appearance, the words Zhang Chunhua was about to say were ultimately not spoken.

"You eat, Mommy is not hungry!"

Speaking softly, Zhang Chunhua touched her son's head with some tenderness.

"Mommy, it's okay, we still have food."

Hearing Zhang Chunhua's words, Chen Xuan naturally understood what she meant and couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Still have food?"

Zhang Chunhua was a little confused.

"Mommy, come with me!"

Chen Xuan said softly, then put down the pottery bowl and pulled Zhang Chunhua towards the kitchen.

Zhang Chunhua was a little confused, but she still let Chen Xuan pull her forward.

But when she walked into the kitchen, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but freeze.

"This is?"

Zhang Chunhua's eyes widened, her expression filled with disbelief as she looked at the extra pheasant hanging where the fish was.

"Mommy, I picked this up by the river today. It should be enough for tomorrow. As long as we get through these few days, Daddy will be back, and we won't be hungry anymore."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

His bright smile almost brought tears to Zhang Chunhua's eyes.

"Okay, okay, when Er Gou's daddy comes back, we won't be hungry anymore."

Zhang Chunhua's eyes were misty, and she nodded heavily.

"That's right, so Mommy needs to eat well, that way Daddy will be happy when he comes back."

Chen Xuan said with a smile, pulling Zhang Chunhua back into the room.

This time, with Chen Xuan's eyes on her, Zhang Chunhua still gently put the fish into her mouth.

The fish melted in her mouth, making Zhang Chunhua's taste buds twitch and her saliva flow. As she ate, tears unknowingly fell.

Chen Xuan didn't look or disturb her.

He, as a transmigrator, naturally understood the hardship of a mother raising two children alone, especially in this damned world.

The family of three lowered their heads, with only the sound of swallowing food.

After the meal, Zhang Chunhua once again shouldered her bamboo basket and headed towards the back mountain.

Chen Xuan didn't stop her, but watched her leave.

Their lives were still difficult now, and Chen Xuan knew that what he had just said was impossible.

His predecessor's father hadn't gone on a long journey; he had been conscripted and taken away. The chances of him returning were truly slim.

Just like his predecessor's eldest brother, who had been gone for seven or eight years without any news, it was likely that his predecessor's father would meet a similar fate.

Shaking his head, Chen Xuan immediately began to clean up.

Just as he was cleaning, a voice quickly sounded from outside the door.

"Er Gou, Er Gou!"

"Open the door quickly!"

"It's Er Zhuang and Guoguo!"

Xiao Shitou said excitedly, running off happily to open the door.

The main door opened.

Chen Er Zhuang walked in with a small bag of items.

"Er Zhuang Ge!"

Chen Xuan stood up, looking at his cousin with some surprise.

"Er Gou, look what I brought you."

Chen Er Zhuang said with a grin, gesturing with the small bag in his right hand.

Following Chen Er Zhuang's gesture, Chen Xuan's gaze couldn't help but follow.

"This is?"

He asked subconsciously, his expression a little puzzled.

"Yesterday, didn't you send fish to our house? My dad told me to bring you some millet. Quick, take a look."

Chen Er Zhuang was a little reluctant, but he quickly handed the millet in his hand to Chen Xuan.

"Millet!"

Chen Xuan was startled and subconsciously took it. When the small bag opened, husked millet grains appeared before him, weighing about two catties.

Chen Xuan was a little surprised and subconsciously wanted to hand it back.

Chen Er Zhuang immediately took a step back.

"Er Gou, don't give it back. If you make me take it back, my dad will definitely break my legs."

Chen Er Zhuang said in a hurry.

"Then, thank you!"

"Also, thank my second uncle and second aunt for me."

After a moment of silence, Chen Xuan still nodded.

That's how family is. In his memory, after his father disappeared, his second uncle's family had always been helping them.

Without his second uncle's family, perhaps his mother and they would have been unable to hold on long ago.

"Hehe, then I'll go first. My dad is still calling me to Uncle Zhang's house."

Chen Er Zhuang said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang!"

Hearing Chen Er Zhuang's words, Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he subconsciously asked.

"Yeah, the one to our east. My dad seems to want me to learn how to hunt. When I learn how to hunt, my dad, my mom, and Er Gou, and Third Aunt won't go hungry anymore."

Chen Er Zhuang nodded excitedly.

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, not shattering the other party's fantasy.

Hunting is not that easy.

Zhang Shan, as a famous hunter in the village, indeed had better conditions than most people in the village, but to say he didn't go hungry, it didn't seem so. After all, there weren't prey every day, and hunting was also extremely dangerous.

Shaking his head, Chen Xuan prepared to continue sorting. He still had a pheasant to deal with.

But at this moment, his figure couldn't help but pause.

His eyes immediately lit up.

"Hunting!"

With a soft murmur, Chen Xuan's gaze involuntarily turned to his golden finger.

Hunting was extremely difficult for others, but for him, it might not be.

With the golden finger, he could complete it as long as he set a goal.

Through this period of trying, he knew that the better his conditions, the more likely the set goal was to be completed, and the simpler the path to completion.

If he mastered hunting skills, could he then guarantee that he would have prey every day?

In this way, wouldn't this be much more reliable than relying on the system's ability to wait for rabbits every day?

After all, waiting for rabbits, no one knew which day it would become impossible.

The system's ability seemed invincible, but it only seemed so; it wasn't truly invincible.

It was true that setting a goal would theoretically produce a path, but it didn't mean he could complete any path.

For example, becoming a god before, he couldn't complete that.

Similarly, waiting for rabbits, perhaps he could directly fix the target, but the path to completion would eventually reach a point where he couldn't complete it.
