Lin Qing looked at him encouragingly, but she was surprised by her second son's next words.

"Mom, our family's foreign debts have been mostly paid off, and there's no point in me staying in the village any longer.

"Besides, you asked me to get some information, so I thought I might as well find a chance to stay in town. After all, there are many people there and they know everything better than we do in the village."

Lin Qing looked at his second son silently, feeling mixed emotions, unable to describe what he was feeling.

She was pleased with Gu Ermiao's rapid growth, but she was reluctant to let such a young child make a living alone in the town.

Although Sanmu was considered "independent" by learning farming from Song Youzu, he was still in the village, under his own nose. Anping Town, where Ermiao was going, was nearly ten miles away from Songsi Village.

In the era she lived in, this short distance was nothing to be afraid of;

But here, ten miles is a distance that some people cannot cross in their entire life.

Lin Qing looked at his tall little poplar tree, and unconsciously began to imagine him being hacked off by bad guys and having his branches and leaves pulled out. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He was about to say no, but when he looked up, he met Gu Ermiao's smug expression, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Forget it. As a parent, isn’t the first lesson we need to learn to be supportive?

"Then tell me about your specific plan, and I'll consider whether to agree to it."

Gu Ermiao seemed to have not expected his mother to support him so much. After a moment of silence, he said, "I plan to take advantage of your business opportunity to ask Shopkeeper Qian or Shopkeeper Yu who is willing to take me in as an apprentice."

Lin Qing nodded and said, "That's right. Most of the people who come to the preserves shop are wealthy people. Maybe we can get to know some secrets that we can't normally get to know. The noodle stall is across from the Shuangxi Restaurant, so it's a perfect observation vantage point."

Gu Ermiao clearly shared Lin Qing's thoughts. "More importantly, I feel like there's something else behind Boss Yu's words. His daughter also died after marrying into the Jia family..."

Having said that, he carefully glanced at Lin Yuanxin, and after finding that there was nothing wrong with his expression, he continued, "If we can find out, it might be helpful to us."

Lin Qing was very pleased that he had thought of this and reminded him: "Mom believes in your ability to adapt to changing circumstances, but this is the first time you go out to do things on your own, so remember:

"Nothing is more important than yourself. Don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but don't be afraid of it either. No matter what happens, Mom will always stand by you."

Gu Ermiao nodded vigorously, holding back the tears in her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will never embarrass you."

Lin Qing's heart was filled with the reluctance to send the child to school. After a moment of calming down, he said:

"Okay, I'll give you the key to the house in town later. If it gets late, you don't have to go home. Just stay in town. Remember to lock the door. Safety is important."

Gu Ermiao listened to his mother's detailed instructions, took the keys with great trepidation, and felt a lot of emotion.

Just a few days ago, he thought his mother wanted to divide the family property by giving him the house, and he was frightened and cried; but now he could actually take the key calmly.

He has grown up.

He can definitely help my mother more!

After Gu Damao encouraged his brother for a few words, he suddenly said with some concern: "Changqing has gone to the academy, and Ermiao is also going to the town. What if there is really an emergency?"

Lin Qing was also thinking about this troublesome matter just now.

She can't just buy a few mobile phones from the system...

Even if I buy it, there is no signal.

She had a puzzled expression on her face, but her brain had already sunk into the universal system, searching for a replacement phone.

Carrier pigeon?

No, it’s a famine season, what if someone catches us and eats us?

Drone?

Regardless of whether its buzzing sound would scare people, she had no idea how to explain to the children what a remote control was, let alone how to operate it.

After choosing for a long time, she finally set her eyes on a handsome and ferocious falcon.

[Swift as thunder, swift as wind, and full of agility. No one misses anything a hundred miles away. Superior home-guarding falcon]

only……

200 Wen.

This, she just has some money and can't do this...

[Ding! Purchase this product within three days and receive a free gift of a designated summoning item—8 bone flutes. With the bone flute, you can summon falcons anytime, anywhere. Your call will be fulfilled!]

[Friendly reminder: If you don't buy the bone flute, you'll need to train the falcon yourself!]

【It's very fierce! 】

This hint still carries a threatening tone as always.

Eh, that's not right.

Lin Qing suddenly came to his senses.

Give away 8 bone flutes?

But their family, including Gu Changqing, only has seven people...

In an instant, she had an epiphany and understood the system's subtext.

Another mission!

Her team is about to expand again!

Just Lin Yuanxin makes her feel like a tiger with wings, so if there is another one, won’t she be able to take off immediately?

Then this eagle is equivalent to being given to her for free!

Lin Qing, who had settled the bill in an instant, was full of fighting spirit. He clicked the settlement button without hesitation, patted his chest and said confidently: "I already have a solution to this problem. I hope you won't be scared when the time comes!"

Although the children didn't understand what was going on, they believed that since Lin Qing said there was a way to solve it, there would definitely be no problem.

Gu Sihe, who had just vented his excitement, returned to the house, threw himself beside Lin Qing, and boasted, "Mom, I just watered all the things that Third Brother planted, and even turned over the sour jujube cakes. Am I amazing?"

Lin Qing pinched his chubby little face and said with a smile, "Great, great!"

"Mom, I have some good news. My eldest brother said he wants to teach me how to write!"

Lin Qing was busy drawing embroidery patterns and didn't hear Gu Damao say he wanted to teach him how to write.

Turning to look at Gu Damao, he said, "Wouldn't that be too hard for Damao? Why don't you memorize the calligraphy for him, and let him practice calligraphy on his own while you're busy reading or writing. Leave the recitation to me, and I'll check it for you."

Gu Damao said: "Thank you for your concern, mother. I was just about to teach my enlightenment book to Sihe."

My mother and elder brother taught me together!

The more Gu Sihe thought about it, the more excited he became. He jumped three feet high and said, "Okay, okay, then I won't go anywhere tomorrow. I'll just stay at home with Sister Xiaoxin. I'll practice calligraphy while she embroiders!"

Several people marveled at his diligence, and Gu Ermiao couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Keep going, Shihe! With big brother's strict guidance, second brother has faith in you! Maybe before he even graduates from high school, you'll be the new top scorer!"

Gu Sihe thought he was envious of him and said, "Hmph, just wait and see!"

That night, Gu Sihe knew why his second brother said that.

It was very late when Gu Sanmu returned home. He thought that everyone in the family had gone to bed, but when he opened the door, he saw that the light in the main room was on. Gu Sihe was sobbing and he didn't know what he was doing. When he saw Gu Sihe come back, he felt like he had seen a savior and greeted him with tears.

Gu Sanmu was startled: "What happened? Sihe, who bullied you?"

Lin Yuanxin hurriedly put down the embroidery stand, walked out of the room, grabbed him, and whispered, "Shh, Big Brother is teaching Sihe how to write. Anyone who helps him will be scolded..."

After saying this, he shook his shoulders as if he was still frightened. "Auntie Lin was just told by my eldest brother. Third brother, just pretend you didn't see it. Hurry up and wash up and go to bed."
