After the system ran, I took off with my family

It was just dawn on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Except for Wu Yuanan and Qin Song who had stayed up late in the night, everyone in the Lin family and He Yujiao had already gotten up.

It was rare for Li to dress up formally today. Mother Luo combed her long black hair into a bun, pinned a cloud-patterned gold-thread beaded flower in her hair, and inserted a gold hairpin on the other side.

After changing into a brocade pleated skirt with Xiang-colored embroidered auspicious cloud patterns, Li stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Then she nodded with satisfaction, "Mother Luo, I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

"Ma'am, that's because you have a good foundation."

Mother Luo smiled and took a cloak and spread it out for Li to put on. She kept praising her, "I am not exaggerating. Other ladies of your age are as young as you. There is not a single wrinkle on your face. Your face is as smooth as an egg. If you go out, people will think you are an unmarried girl."

"Mother Luo, stop teasing me. Let's go. It's time for A Yue and the others to get up." Li walked out of the house with a red face and went to the front yard.

When they arrived at the front yard, Lin Shuyue was holding Xuebao and talking to Lin Shuyan, with Weifeng lying lazily at her feet. As for Xiao Huihui, he was sitting on the table and chewing on a walnut.

Hearing the footsteps, the brother and sister and the three little ones all looked up, "Mom! Happy New Year, you look so beautiful in this outfit."

The brother and sister came forward, each holding one of Li's arms, and praised her. Xue Bao and Xiao Huihui even took the initiative to jump into Li's arms and rubbed her neck affectionately.

So the brother and sister received the first New Year's money, and the three little ones received clothes that Li had sewn for them personally.

Afterwards, Lin An, who had changed into new clothes after practicing martial arts, and He Yujiao, who had dressed neatly, also came to the flower hall. After Lin Shuyue and his sister wished them a happy new year, each of them received two gifts of New Year's money.

After breakfast, Li asked Mother Luo to prepare some candies, peanuts and melon seeds and put them in the flower hall. These were for the children from the village who came to visit her at home during the New Year.

Xuebao, Xiao Huihui and Weifeng went into the mountains as usual, and Lin An also led the siblings Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuyan out.

After paying New Year's greetings at Zhao Xiuyin's home, Lin An returned home first. In Lanshan Village, the only elder he needed to pay New Year's greetings to was Zhao Xiuyin.

After brother and sister Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuyan received a handful of candies and two gifts of New Year's money at Zhao Xiuyin's house, they went to Erlangzi's house again.

The new bride, Wang Manxiu, was very enthusiastic about the arrival of the brother and sister. She ran to the kitchen to serve them brown sugar water, and kept stuffing candies and melon seeds into their hands. She seemed to have completely forgotten the rift with Lin Shuyue on their wedding night.

After leaving Erlangzi's house, the two went back to the village. The village was very lively at this time, and from time to time they could run into groups of children going out to pay New Year's greetings.

The children seemed to be a little afraid of them. Except for a few brave ones who would take the initiative to say hello, most of the children ran away as soon as they saw them, leaving the brother and sister in a state of confusion.

The only families in the village who were familiar with the Lin family were the village chief's family, Liu Cuiping's family, and the family of Da Niu, whom Lin Shuyue had saved before. The two first went to Liu Cuiping's family and Da Niu's family to pay New Year's greetings, and finally went to the village chief's family.

However, just as the brother and sister arrived at the door of the village chief's house, they heard a quarrel coming from inside. After looking at each other, the brother and sister turned around and left at the same time.

In the yard, Wang Youzhi's cold gaze swept back and forth between Wang Dewen, whose nose and face were swollen and there were several blood marks on his neck, and his young daughter-in-law Gao Meilin, whose face also had a swollen face. His face was extremely dark and ugly.

"If you two keep arguing, get the hell back to town! You two disgraceful bastards! Don't you realize what day it is? You are ignorant!"

Wang Dequan and Zhao Xiaolan, who were standing aside, looked at each other. Normally, no matter how angry the old man was, he would only scold his son and never scold his daughter-in-law directly. But today he actually scolded Gao Meilin as well.

However, it is no wonder that the old man is angry. This pair of enemies have been quarreling since last night and started quarreling again early this morning. When asked the reason for their quarrel, they both kept silent. They even started fighting just now, and scared away a group of villagers who had just stepped into the courtyard to pay New Year's greetings.

After all, everyone hopes that the new year will be smooth and safe, but if you encounter a fight on the first day of the new year, isn't that unlucky?

Wang Dewen and Gao Meilian, who were scolded, saw that the old man was angry and did not dare to argue anymore. They glared at each other hatefully and one went back to the wing room and the other went back to the main hall.

On the other side, when Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuyan returned home, Li and Lin An were staring at the table which was still full of candies.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?" Lin Shuyan poured the candies he got from New Year's greetings onto the table and asked with concern.

"Are you back?"

Li came back to her senses, stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for the brother and sister, then explained: "I'm fine, it's just that today, apart from your uncle Erlangzi and uncle Gangzi who brought Huzi and others to celebrate the New Year, no one else in the village came to our house to celebrate the New Year. Your father and I are a little uncomfortable for a while."

In the past, when celebrating the New Year in Yunhua Village, because the family had not yet divided up, the fruits for the family were all prepared by the Luo family.

At that time, Lin Dahai had a very good reputation in the village. Every New Year's Day, many people came to the Lin family to pay New Year's greetings. It was lively and joyful to look at.

"Dad, Mom, our family has only been settled in Lanshan Village for less than a year. Considering what happened with Yunniang before, it's normal for them not to come."

Lin Shuyue sat down next to Li and gently persuaded her, "Mom, we are outsiders after all, we can't force ourselves to get along with them like we do in Yunhua Village.

I think the distance between our home and the village is just right now. We can live a peaceful life without interfering with each other."

"Yes, Ah Yue is right." Lin Shuyan nodded vigorously in agreement, "Our family was so kind to the villagers before, but in the end we got a bunch of ungrateful people in return.

People are greedy. There is a big gap between our family and the village. Some people will definitely feel unbalanced. Continuing to associate with them will only cause more trouble."

"It's good to be close to each other like now. Besides, we have some familiar families in the village. Aunt Cuiping's family and Daniu's family are very good. My sister and I went to their house to pay New Year's greetings just now and got lucky money."

"Your mother and I understand what you are talking about. It's just that the New Year was so lively in the past, but it's so quiet this year. We are a little uncomfortable with it for a while. Don't worry."

Lin An waved his hands. He thought the same as the children. The current situation was fine. The Lin family didn't need to rely on the village anyway.

If there is really no room for them here in the future, they can just move to the county town or the provincial capital.

"Master, Madam, Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhao are here to pay New Year's greetings."

Qingyuan came in happily wearing new clothes to report.

"Invite them in quickly."

Soon, Qingyuan led the two families into the flower hall. Liu Cuiping led the way, holding Xiao Lizi, followed by Uncle Wang and his son Wang Dougen, and finally Aunt Zhao's family.
