After the system ran, I took off with my family

"Okay, I won't hide it from you in the future." Lin An was relieved when he saw that his daughter was not angry.

"Xiao Ya, don't worry about this matter. Your mother and I will handle it. Just mind your own business."

Lin An still didn't want his daughter to be involved in such a dirty matter.

Lin Shuyue did not respond to this and just looked at the darkness outside the window.

The next day, at daybreak, Lin Shuyue went up the back mountain alone. After staying there for an incense stick of time, she quietly returned to the Lin residence.

In the early morning above Lanshan Village, smoke from cooking and white mist intertwined. In the village, the sounds of dogs barking, chickens crowing... and babies crying awakened the village at the foot of the mountain.

"Huh? Why is there a cuckoo in this tree today?"

Zhao Xiaolan, who had just finished feeding the chickens, looked up at the jujube tree in the corner of the yard. There were clusters of golden flowers blooming on the tree. On the branch, a cuckoo was sticking its head out to look around the yard.

"My dear! Where did you feed the chickens? Come and cook breakfast!"

Liu Meihua's sharp voice rang out, and Zhao Xiaolan hurriedly turned around to look. She was so scared that her heart almost jumped out.

She saw her mother-in-law half hidden in the darkness, with a long face and a pair of eyes staring at her dimly.

At the same time, many families in the village found cuckoos staying in their yards, on trees, or on walls.

The naughty child saw the birds on the tree in the yard as soon as he got up. He was so excited that he wanted to run back to the house to get a slingshot, but was stopped by his father or mother.

In the countryside, the cuckoo is often affectionately called the harbinger of spring. Every spring plowing season, people are always accustomed to going to the fields to farm to the sound of the cuckoo's "cuckoo".

Therefore, unless there is a famine, people usually do not catch them, and they also warn their children not to catch them.

The next day, at the Lin residence, on the martial arts field.

Lin An jumped into the air and slashed the knife in his hand towards Lin Shuyue on the ground. Lin Shuyue quickly turned sideways to avoid the attack, then turned quickly and went behind Lin An. Just as Lin An was about to turn around, he saw a wooden stick on his neck.

"Dad, if you reacted faster you could hold on a little longer."

Lin Shuyue put away the stick and pointed out his father's shortcomings without any hesitation.

Lin An took the handkerchief handed to him by Qingyuan and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Well, I haven't practiced much recently. I guess I can't be lazy anymore. Otherwise, I will be left far behind by you three brothers and sisters."

"Okay, that's all for today. I'm going back first."

After Lin An left, Lin Shuyue walked to the right side of the martial arts training ground, where Qinghe and Qingzhi were practicing the second move of the Phantom Flowing Light Technique.

After a cup of tea, the two put away their swords. Qingzhi quickly ran forward, looking at Lin Shuyue with sparkling eyes, "Miss, you are so powerful! Even the master can't beat you!"

"You are not concentrating on sword practice." Lin Shuyue tapped Qingzhi's forehead with amusement, then looked at Qinghe and encouraged: "You should practice diligently every day, and then I will take you out to travel."

When Qing He and Qing Zhi heard this, they nodded excitedly, "Miss, we must practice martial arts well."

In fact, Qinghe and Qingzhi are nourished by the spiritual spring water every day. Although they have only practiced martial arts for two months, they have no problem dealing with a few ordinary warriors.

After breakfast, Lin Shuyue walked slowly towards the river.

On the open space by the river, two small courtyards stand side by side, and there are several vegetable plots in front of the courtyards.

In the vegetable garden, Zhao Xiuyin was squatting on the ground pulling weeds. In the open space next to the vegetable garden, Niu Niu, who was four or five months old, was lying on a patched rag, holding one of her feet and chewing it happily.

"Grandma Xiuyin!"

Lin Shuyue shouted towards the vegetable garden, then quickly walked forward, squatted in front of the rag, and reached out to take the little feet out of Niu Niu's mouth.

Zhao Xiuyin heard the voice, stood up, and saw Lin Shuyue, and said happily: "Hey, it's Xiaoya!"

Lin Shuyue picked up Niu Niu from the ground and walked into the vegetable garden.

There is a row of racks in the vegetable garden, covered with cucumber vines. Many tender green cucumbers are hanging on the vines. The small yellow flowers on the top of the cucumbers have not fallen yet, attracting bees to stay on them.

In addition to cucumbers, there were rows of eggplants, cabbages, and radishes. She also saw a large winter melon hidden under a vine.

"Grandma Xiuyin, you've taken really good care of your vegetable garden." Lin Shuyue couldn't help but admire it as she looked at the greenery all around.

Grandma Xiuyin's eyes smiled into a crescent shape, and she said cheerfully, "That's right. My hands can't do other things, but they are good at growing vegetables. When I was in Yunhua Village, many young wives came to ask me for advice."

After saying that, she put away her smile, looked at the houses in Lanshan Village, and said with some regret: "It is much quieter now..."

Lin Shuyue was teasing Niuniu in her arms. She inadvertently noticed that she looked a little depressed, so she quickly changed the subject, "Grandma Xiuyin, where is Aunt Lianhua? Why aren't Brother Leizi and Brother Huzi here?"

Zhao Xiuyin came back to her senses, wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve, and replied with a smile: "Your Aunt Lianhua and your Uncle Gangzi went to Xunweilou in the county town to deliver vegetables early in the morning, and Leizi and Huzi went to the rice field in the east to weed."

"Xiao Ya, thank you so much, these days, the money from selling vegetables at home can buy another acre of good farmland."

When Xunweilou was still under renovation, Lin Shuyue signaled Lin An to inform Lin Gang and Erlangzi of the news, telling them that they could grow more vegetables, and Xunweilou would charge them at the market price. Although they would not make a lot of money, it would still be enough to supplement their household expenses.

Since Erlangzi is alone and he really doesn't know how to grow vegetables, the only family that grows vegetables is Lin Gang's family.

At Lin An's suggestion, Erlangzi became a village peddler, carrying a load on his shoulder and wandering around the slightly remote villages in Sishui County every day, specializing in selling needles, thread and children's toys. Although he went out early and came back late every day, he enjoyed it.

"Grandma Xiuyin, why are you being polite? Our restaurant needs to buy vegetables anyway. This is called mutual benefit." Lin Shuyue pinched Niuniu's little fleshy hand and replied casually.

Zhao Xiuyin wanted to say something, but saw a cuckoo with brown feathers mixed with white feathers flying straight towards Lin Shuyue and landed on her right shoulder.

"Little girl..." Zhao Xiuyin stared at the cuckoo intently and called Lin Shuyue in a low voice with excitement in her tone.

Lin Shuyue moved Niu Niu to the other side, and then tilted her head to look. The cuckoo immediately tilted its little head to look at her and began to call softly, as if it was talking.

Niu Niu in my arms heard the call and stopped sucking her fingers with her little mouth. She stared at the cuckoo curiously with her big watery eyes.

After a moment, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Shuyue's face, then she nodded and said softly, "Okay, got it. You continue to follow me and be careful."

"Cuckoo cuckoo..."

After she finished speaking, the cuckoo flew up, its melodious call filled with joy, and soon disappeared from Lin Shuyue and Zhao Xiuyin's sight.
