The mother and son are safe, everyone is happy, and when Qin Zhi went to deliver chicken soup, he heard the news.

"Congratulations." She congratulated Zhang Dasheng and ran to the side to see the newborn child.

It's also a boy, who looks thin and small, with a wrinkled face and a red face, no different from when Xiaobao was born.

Qin Zhi was a little speechless for a moment, thinking that he was so unlucky to give birth to a red monkey, but it turned out that the newborn children all looked like this.

"Mother! Mother! There was an intermittent sound behind him, and Qin Zhi looked back to see that it was Xiaobao, who was struggling to get out of Xue Shen's arms, reaching out for Qin Zhi to hug him.

It may be that Xue Shen's face is too serious, and the adults are scared when they see him calmly, let alone a child.

In short, Xiaobao didn't like to let Xue Shen hold him very much, especially when his father didn't laugh, Xiaobao suddenly looked for Qin Zhi smartly.

Qin Zhi turned around and smiled, hugged Xiaobao into his arms, and pointed to the little baby in Aunt Zhang's arms.

"Brother."

"Tsk." Xiao Bao repeated inarticulately, not looking at the child, but raising his hand to grab the two strands of hair hanging down from Qin Zhi and playing with a little fun.

"Xiaobao, it's my younger brother." Qin Zhi repeated, she is not a patient person, probably because this is her own flesh and blood, she always has a different kind of patience for Xiaobao.

Patient enough to take the trouble to teach Xiaobao to repeat a word.

"Brother...... Junior. Xiaobao made it clear this time, a pair of big watery eyes blinked, these eyes were like Xue Shen's black eyes, but they were not as deep as him, but they were clear and translucent.

"That's smart." Qin Zhi suddenly smiled happily, and kissed Xiaobao's face.

"Hey, hey." Xiaobao didn't quite understand what his younger brother was, anyway, he was happy when he saw Qin Zhi smiling, and put down the hair in his hand without saying a word to continue drilling into Qin Zhi's arms.

“……”

Xue Shen looked at the kid smiling happily and couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips.

Obviously he was his own child, why was he still a little unhappy when he watched Xiaobao drill into Qin Zhi's arms?

I'm about to cry in my arms, I can't laugh when I run to Qin Zhi's side, I will be treated differently if I am so big, is this worth it?

No, we still have to educate it, Xue Shen thought deeply.

There is a saying that education should be done as soon as possible.

……

On this day, Qin Zhi sat on a rattan chair and lazily read a book, there was no air conditioner or anything here, so she held a big fan in her hand and kept fanning it.

Xue Shen was afraid that she would be bored, so he bought her a bunch of books and came back, from serious books to scripts, Qin Zhi could be regarded as having some fun.

Xiaobao fell asleep in the house, Xue Shen went to the county seat, Zhang Xianling said that something was not good, and he wanted to ask Xue Shen to help, he agreed without saying a word, and he would come back in a while.

The sky gradually darkened, and she had some difficulty looking at the book, trying to light the candle, but in the end she put it down again.

Accustomed to electric lights, the light of the candle flame is still too dim, Qin Zhi likes to be bright, and there are a lot of candlesticks at home, and he feels better when he lights four or five lamps every night.

After looking at it all afternoon, her eyes were a little tired, so she still went out for a walk, it was already evening, and it was not as heavy as the heat at noon.

Qin Zhi looked at the time, scooped it up and hugged Xiaobao, the child opened his eyes in a daze and saw that it was Qin Zhi, turned over in her arms and fell asleep.

Qin Zhi didn't care about him, locked the door and went to the village for a walk.

After the weather was hot, she rarely went out, and now there is no shortage of silver, she is back to being a housemaid, and occasionally goes to see the fields, and on a whim she wants to try to make a few new dishes and go to the county town for a walk.

Heyuan Town is pitiful, and there is no activity, and she is too lazy to go out.

Today is lucky, the weather is a little dull, it should rain tomorrow, there is no such heat, the sky is a little hazy, when she goes out, many people have cooked, and wisps of cooking smoke come out of the chimney intermittently.

Looking quite harmonious, Qin Zhi thought, holding Xiaobao and walking carelessly, the village is not big, and there are only a few families, and she has lived for a year.

Two men walked in front of him, both carrying hoes, as if they had just come back from the ground, Qin Zhi was wearing dark purple clothes, which were not obvious in the night, and they did not notice.

"Looks like it's going to rain tomorrow?" The tall one on the left sighed.

"No, it's finally a little rainy, otherwise it won't be done!" The short one on the right answered, complaining.

"By the way, have you heard?" The two chatted for a while, and the tall one suddenly said mysteriously.

"What?" The short one replied.

"The Xue family? I heard that Xue Lao's third daughter-in-law is sick, and she is very pitiful! The tall man said with a sigh.

Xue Laosan's daughter-in-law, isn't it Xue Wang's family?

Qin Zhi's footsteps stopped, and he slowed down quietly, wanting to hear what they had to say.

"I've heard about this, but they really deserve it, kick Shiro out, this is not retribution!"

"That's what I said, Shiro is also promising, I heard that people are making a lot of money now, not to mention anything else, that dish is sold to Piaoxianglou every day, but it's all money!"

"Alas, I don't know what kind of luck he had, if I had so much silver, I would have gone away a long time ago!"

"Who says it isn't!" The two laughed and crooked the topic, and gradually walked away.

Although the two of them were joking, Qin Zhi could still hear the little envy hidden in them.

She has heard a lot of this kind of words, since Xue Shen and the others made a fortune, the people in the village have talked about them a lot, most of them say that the two of them have taken some shit luck, and they are envious and jealous that the silver is not their own.

Of course, this also has something to do with Qin Zhi's temperament, she is different from other women in this village, others are careful when they do something, Qin Zhi is the best, she repaired the previous bluestone slab house not long ago, and made the yard a little bigger.

She used to be afraid of the last days, she lacked a sense of security, and the house should be big, comfortable, and safe.

I don't like the dark, so I put a bunch of candlesticks in the house, and they all light them at night, compared to the faint light of other people's houses, she is almost catching up with a hundred watt light bulbs, which is very bright.

The degree of food and clothing is according to your own preferences, how comfortable and how to come.

There are many things one by one, and there are many rumors in the village, on the surface, they praise the two of them for their ability and earn so much silver, but secretly they are jealous and arrange Qin Zhi's vanity, and they always love to show off.

Qin Zhi knew all this, but she didn't take it to heart, but felt a little like laughing.

She wanted to live more comfortably, so she built a big house. I wanted to wear it more comfortably, so I bought a good fabric, which was all her own business, and she didn't feel that she was showing off.

Even if she doesn't do this, she still lives in a grass hut and wears sackcloth with silver, and the rumors of those people will not stop, only that she has a problem with her brain, and she doesn't spend the money she earns, and she pretends to be high.

It is difficult to reconcile everyone, Qin Zhi understands this truth very well. After all, to put it bluntly, they are jealous that Qin Zhi has them.

She hooked the corners of her lips at will, and casually walked around twice, Xiaobao slept very deeply, and drilled into her arms vigorously, he gained a lot of weight, and kept holding his arms and was a little sore.

Thinking that Xue Shen should also come back, she was going to go home along the way to cook.

When I went back, I ran into a neighbor, it was the family behind them, just an old man Aunt Wang and her daughter-in-law, and her son went out to do work, and only came back at the end of each year.

"Yo, isn't this Shiro's family?" Aunt Wang is a big mouth, her personality is too cheerful, not as disgusting as Xue Wang's, but she is also not likable.

She knew something today, and within a day, the news spread throughout the village.

Qin Zhi doesn't like to talk to noisy people very much, and prefers to be quiet in comparison.

nodded indifferently, "Aunt Wang, Sister Wang." ”

The voice was also a little cold, and there was no enthusiasm.

"Is this going home? Why don't you go to your aunt's house and sit down? Kill pigs at home today, come and eat? Aunt Wang was enthusiastic, and her eyebrows fluttered and she sent an invitation to Qin Zhi.

"I understand my aunt's kindness, Brother Shen is coming back, I'd better go home and cook." Qin Zhi smiled lightly and politely declined her request.

"That's right, Shiro is so powerful, I'm afraid you can't even look down on this mouthful of pork, okay, then let's go back first." Aunt Wang is a straightforward and fast-talking, and when she said this, she was really a bit sarcastic.

She didn't think it herself, before leaving, she also looked at the hairpin on Qin Zhi's head, which Xue Shen bought in the town a few days ago, the style was simple but not simple, it was inserted obliquely on Qin Zhi's bun, there were two strings of tassels hanging down, and the bell was ringing.

"Yo, this is a new model from the town, and it looks like a valuable product, we can't afford it!"

"Mother!" Her daughter-in-law Wang was a little unbearable, she was two years older than Qin Zhi, I heard that she was not a local, and she didn't know how to be the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, her voice was soft, and she was a little submissive.

"What are you dragging me for!" Aunt Wang was dragged by her, and she forgot what she was going to say before, and scolded Wang and went home.

Qin Zhi looked at the figures of the two and frowned, when she was close to the room, Wang Shi glanced at this side apologetically, she smiled casually, and didn't take it seriously.

It's just a few words of ridicule, and it doesn't hurt or itch.

She took Xiaobao home, Xue Shen hadn't come back yet, she put Xiaobao on the bed, washed her hands and cooked.

In fact, she has no feelings for this small mountain village, it was only an expedient measure to live like this before, if she can, she wants to wait for the child to grow up and take him around to take a walk, and finally escape the end of the world, now she is in her youth, although she accidentally has a husband and child, but there are infinite possibilities.

But...... What Qin Zhi didn't expect was that she didn't care about the jealousy and ridicule of these people, but some people had to follow her and couldn't get by, so they came to find death in the middle of the night.

At night, the whole village was quiet, and from a distance, there was no light, only the moonlight quietly shining on the ground, which looked a little dark, perhaps because it was going to rain.

A figure stumbled into Qin Zhi's field, looking at the vegetables that were growing well, a sneer rose at the corner of his lips, and he was a little resentful, and he picked up the hoe is a mess.

The house was far away in the field, and there was no one around it, and he was destroying it alone, and no one saw it.
