The birds flew away in a hurry.

The silent mountains are suddenly bustling with activity. The sounds of carving with knives, chisels and axes and the calls of people working together interweave to compose a unique concerto.

The village head led the people along the mountain road twice, and finally chose the ditch extending from the south of the chestnut forest. There were many stones on this line, so it was much easier to walk here.

Before starting construction, the village head led the villagers to solemnly burn incense to the God of Land.

The men worked hard on the mountain, while the women carried the dirty clothes from home and climbed up the mountain with smiles on their faces.

The clean water was stained by the clothes, so it was poured out and replaced with a basin of cool, clear water.

The naked children were making a mess. When no one was there to fetch water, they all swarmed under the stream, their mouths wide open like baby birds waiting for food.

Lin led the children down the mountain.

Xiaoliu was still wrestling with the bird with his slingshot when he saw people running up the mountain. After asking around, he found out that a water source had been found there.

Mother and my third and second sisters found it! My fourth and fifth brothers are also here!

"You did something good behind my back without even calling me. My fourth and fifth brothers went, but I didn't." Xiaoliu felt more and more aggrieved, and his mouth pouted as he was about to cry.

Lin carried him into the house and stuffed a piece of oily fruit into his mouth.

"I called you when I left this morning. Think about it carefully."

Xiaoliu's cheeks puffed up. "Mom called him?" How could he not remember?

Lin was at ease: "Did you remember?"

Xiaoliu shook his head dejectedly.

Seeing him swallow the oily fruit in his mouth and about to speak, Lin quickly stuffed another piece into his mouth.

"You were the one who slept so soundly. You can't blame us. You were talking to us in the morning."

Xiaoliu's eyes widened: "What did I say?"

Cui Zhaozhao teased his hair: "You said you wanted to sleep and didn't want to go with us."

Xiaoliu couldn't believe that he actually refused!

He slept through something that he could have boasted about for a long time.

Sleeping is such a waste of time.

Lin and Cui Zhaozhao looked at each other secretly. Children are so easy to fool.

Xiaoliu blamed himself so much that he didn't even want to eat his favorite snack, so Lin changed the subject.

"It's not like Xiaoliu didn't contribute. We were busy all morning and were already hungry. Fortunately, Xiaoliu went hunting so we didn't starve."

Yes! He shot the bird with a slingshot.

The depressed mood was swept away in an instant, and he proudly took out the results of his hard work for the whole morning from his arms.

Two sparrow flowers.

He was not as good as Uncle He. Uncle He shot more than 20 of them, but he couldn't hit them accurately. One of them was injured and couldn't fly, so he encountered it.

However, Uncle He said that when he first learned, he couldn't hit any of them. Now he hit two, which is already very impressive.

Lin looked at the stiff bird, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Just sit still and let me roast the bird for you." Xiaoliu prepared diligently, "...I'll need a branch."

"Wait." Lin called him.

The bird on the ground is larger than a sparrow, and its belly is covered with yellow feathers, which is very beautiful.

"Is this the bird you were talking about yesterday?"

"It's a bird of prey." Xiaoliu explained to his mother, "Don't be fooled by its pretty appearance. Uncle He said it's a bad bird that eats crops."

Although my mother doesn’t know him, it doesn’t matter because I have him.

Killing all the bad birds is considered a good thing for the village.

Lin picked up the bird and sighed, "It's not a bad bird."

This is the Java sparrow, which is almost extinct in later generations and is almost as precious as the giant panda.

The reasons for the sudden decline in its population are, firstly, that it is generally considered a pest bird, and secondly, that it is too delicious.

Not only is it beautiful, it’s also delicious.

"Mom, although it is indeed beautiful, you have to be rational." Xiaoliu frowned and took the bird away.

Lin wanted to hit him, but when she thought about how he was only five years old, she knew that even if she explained it clearly, it wouldn't change anything.

After research by scientists in later generations, the Java sparrow has been rehabilitated and no longer labeled a pest bird.

In this season, Java sparrows mainly eat insects, even locusts and locust eggs. They will only eat crops if there are no insects.

It has been dry for several months and there is no food to grow in the fields.

Moreover, droughts are often accompanied by locust plagues. We have just found a water source. If we kill all the Java sparrows and the locusts form, all our efforts will be in vain.

This matter needs to be told to the village head as soon as possible.

Old Mrs. Cui opened her mouth wide.

Lin took the child and quietly did another big thing.

This is water!

Even the county lawyer couldn't solve the problem, but Lin and her children solved it so easily?!

"Old man, why don't you go to our ancestral grave and see which grave is the one that's producing the smoke?"

Cui Chengliang returned home and still felt his blood boiling.

Ever since he traveled through time, he was afraid that others would find out his true identity, so apart from farming, he dared not show off in any other way.

The only thing I planted were hydroponic vegetables, but I had no choice but to take the risk.

And only the two elders of the Cui family knew about this.

Ever since Lin moved in, he has been talking about chestnuts and water, like a god saving the world, rescuing people from fire and water, and then turning around and disappearing into the crowd.

This feeling is really pleasant and refreshing.

Old man Cui smoked his pipe fiercely, trying hard to maintain his composure.

"What a fuss! I've long said Jingwen is a promising kid."

"Even if all the Cui family's ancestral tombs were burned down, they wouldn't have produced such a good child." Old Man Cui was very confident in his ancestors. "It was the Lin family who raised him well."

Old Lady Cui clasped her hands together and said, "I've noticed from the beginning that Lin is extraordinary. Her appearance and temperament are different from those young wives in the village. She is definitely a sign of prosperity for the family."

Old man Cui was too disdainful to expose her. He didn't know who she was in the past, and he kept muttering about the Lin family's squandering.

"The children are all grown up. You should be more restrained in your words from now on. It will be embarrassing if others see you."

"We are old now. We just need to guard the land and have enough food and drink. Especially you, don't interfere in the affairs of the younger generation."

Old Mrs. Cui nodded, and after thinking about it, she felt that there was something else that Old Man Cui said.

"What do you mean, old man? Do you think I'm meddling in your business?" She snatched his pipe away.

Stop smoking. It makes me so choked up that I can't even say a single nice word.

She was not wrong. The third brother had been married to Lin for several years and had indeed not come back many times.

A few years ago, the third brother and Lin opened a breakfast shop in the county town. During the holidays, the third brother would come back alone and said that the shop could not do without people.

Later, the third brother was injured and lost his memory. Lin came to look for him, and the two of them talked about something in the house. He did not appear for three years.

Who wouldn't think too much? If Lin hadn't brought the child back, she would have thought that Lin had run away with someone.

Then she has figured it out now!

Old man Cui was helpless: "That's not what I meant..."

Old Mrs. Cui didn't bother to pay attention to him and looked at her third son with her eyes rolling.

Lin can't control it, but she can control the third child.

"You should move back home tonight. It's not common for a couple to sleep in separate rooms."

Cui Chengliang was already a little restless, and when he thought of the bustling scene on the mountain, his blood boiled. He jumped up from the stool when he heard this.

Again.

"Mom, let's not repay kindness with hatred."

Lin found a water source for the village, but got nothing in return. Why is his mother still sending him there?

What do you take him for!
