After Xiao Bao'er left, Shi Qiu didn't come out of his grief for a long time, and half of his three souls and seven spirits were lost all day, and his body became more and more thin and weak.

In the autumn harvest season, the Beidi soldiers made a comeback after a few years of cultivation, and Su Zhi took the soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the battle, and this time he went for a long time.

Shi Qiu waited at the gate of the city every day, inquired about the news from the front line all the time, knelt down in the fairy temple and didn't know how many times he begged, thank God about half a month later, Su Zhi returned safely.

After coming back this time, Su Zhi took a child to the house, the child looked a few years older than Xiao Bao'er, knelt on the ground obediently and sensibly, and called Shi Qiu's mother.

This mother made Shi Qiu's originally wandering mind suddenly pull back to reality, looking at the child on the ground, he always felt a trace of familiarity between his eyebrows.

Su Zhi told Shi Qiu that this child's name was Zhiwen, who was originally the son of one of his subordinate lieutenants, and this time he killed Beidi, Zhiwen's father failed to come back from the battlefield, and his mother had already remarried with someone else many years ago, and the deputy general desperately repelled the enemy, but he was seriously injured and left the world forever.

Shi Qiu felt clear after hearing this, and sure enough, looking at the child's appearance, it was clear that he was also like his biological father, and now he had no support, and Shi Qiu knew that the child's psychology was suffering an incomparably huge blow.

Su Zhi has a close friendship with the deputy general, and they have been fighting together for so many years, and they have long been regarded as brothers who intersect with life and death. Su Zhi couldn't watch his brother's child live on the streets, knowing that this child was the last thought of looking at him before he died, leaving him in the world, although his throat was cut, and the deputy general couldn't say a word, but he was also a parent, Su Zhi understood what he meant.

Zhiwen stayed at Shi Qiu's house, recognized Shi Qiu as his mother, and was obedient and cautious every day, for fear that if he did something wrong with a word or action, he would be disliked by others.

Zhiwen took the place of Xiao Bao'er on the way to the private school, and before leaving, Shi Qiu would always remind him not to go to the pond to play. Zhiwen nodded, he was more obedient than any child, and he had been with him for a long time, although he couldn't replace Xiao Bao'er in Shi Qiu's heart, but there would be pity.

Knowing that Shi Qiu was afraid of insects, Zhiwen would also kick away for Shi Qiu after seeing insects on the road, but he would not laugh, and at the same time Qiu asked for a few words of praise.

There are more people in the family, and things seem to be more, when the winter is about to end, Su Zhi may be afraid that she will be cranky after she is idle, so she begged Shi Qiu to make a few sets of cotton clothes for him, Shi Qiu sewed and mended and washed and washed, trying not to let himself think too much in his mind, Xiao Bao'er is gone, and the living people have to continue to live.

Although Zhiwen came to this house, slept in Xiao Bao'er's room, and used Xiao Bao'er's things, the two of them can't be compared, even if Shi Qiu misses her children anymore, she also knows that Xiao Bao'er is Xiao Bao'er, and Zhiwen is Zhiwen, if she mixes them in a blur, this is not good for Xiao Bao'er, and it is not fair to Zhiwen.

Shi Qiu is a sensible person, knowing that Zhiwen is a good child, he has a lot of things in his heart at a young age, sometimes he encounters happy things, smiles and smiles, and seems to remember the situation under the fence of his own people, and he will suddenly restrain his smile and make a polite appearance.

He respects Su Zhi and Shi Qiu, he always waits for others to pick up chopsticks at the dinner table, and if he has delicious food, he has to wait for others to hand it before he dares to come over.

I have to say that such a sensible child can indeed occupy a certain position in Shi Qiu's heart, thinking back to when she just recognized her godfather and godmother, it was the same, and even in many aspects she was not as good as Zhiwen.

Shi Qiu had never seen Zhiwen get angry or cry, only after coming home from school one day, Zhiwen smiled at her, but Shi Qiu could see that his eyes were red, as if he had cried, but he tried his best to show his best side.

didn't ask what was going on directly, Shi Qiu just pretended that she hadn't found anything, but she looked at it clearly, and Zhiwen saw that she didn't ask, so she was silently relieved, but the disappointment in her eyes couldn't be concealed when she was relaxed.

The next day, Shi Qiu went to the door of the private school to wait for him, and saw that after Mr. finished class, a child who was about the same age as Zhiwen criticized Zhiwen harshly, and Shi Qiu listened to the accusatory words in his ears, and he also felt a pain in his heart.

The child said that it was Zhiwenke who killed Xiao Bao'er, and now he occupies Xiao Bao'er's position and occupies Xiao Bao'er's parents, if it weren't for him, maybe Xiao Bao'er wouldn't have died.

Shi Qiu's eyes couldn't control her tears, she understood what kind of harm this sentence was to Zhiwen, for so long, Zhiwen was careful at home, and she was very scared when she thought about it, Su Zhi and she would also have this thought.

But this is simply ridiculous! Zhiwen's father is a well-deserved hero in this world, what did Zhiwen say about robbing Xiao Bao'er's position, if there was no Zhiwen's father desperately repelling the Beidi soldiers, maybe the person who died on the battlefield would be Su Zhi, it was clearly Zhiwen's father who saved her home, how could it be said that Zhiwen occupied Xiao Bao'er's position for no reason?

Shi Qiu looked at Zhiwen and clenched his fists, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, he couldn't hit that child, he was afraid that he would cause trouble if he beat him, after Mr. called his parents at home, he would be disgusted by Su Zhi and Shi Qiu, the adoptive parents. But he didn't dare to refute, for fear that the more he refuted, the more this matter would be true, after all, Su Zhi and Shi Qiu's original sons were Xiaobao.

What the hell is a child? The words were so unbearable that the body couldn't bear it, a pair of eyes couldn't bear it, and gradually became red, and the lips began to tremble unconsciously.

Shi Qiu was also sad in his heart, stood at the door of the private school, and called inside, "Zhiwen." ”

As if hearing this voice in disbelief, Zhiwen turned his head to look at the door, and saw Shi Qiu holding a snack bought on the street in his hand, standing at the door waiting for him.

At this moment, a child's grievances could no longer hold back, tears fell down, and he opened his mouth and tried several times, but he couldn't fully call his mother.

Shi Qiu walked over, straightened out the wrinkled clothes he was sitting in class, handed him the snack in his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a slight reproach: "Why don't you go home after class?" ”

Zhiwen hurriedly wiped his tears, full of surprise at Shi Qiu's arrival, held the snack in his hand and said, "Mother, I'm going back." ”

was about to leave, Shi Qiu turned to the aggressive child and said, "If there is anything you don't accept in the school, you can go to Mr., in private, only I can teach my child a lesson, you are not qualified, you know?" ”

Regardless of whether the child realized his mistake or not, he didn't dare to quarrel anymore in front of Shi Qiu, squeaked and couldn't speak for a long time, and finally ran out of the door and ran away without a trace.

On the way back, the snack was always in Zhiwen's hand, and the bags of oiled paper were all wrinkled, but there was no greedy mouth, and he took out one to eat in front of Shi Qiu.

Shi Qiu looked at the execution and said in a calm tone: "Your father-in-law is a little strict with you on weekdays, but looking at all people, it is not strict, he is also for your good, and wants you to become a talent when you grow up." ”

Zhiwen nodded hurriedly, "My son knows." ”

Shi Qiu persuaded again: "Maybe I pay too little attention to you on weekdays, in fact, you don't have to be so careful, you are not much older than Xiao Bao'er, it is the age of fun, miss this time, and when you grow up, you won't have a chance to make trouble." ”

Speaking of Xiaobao, Zhiwen knew that Shi Qiufang had just heard the words of his classmate, and he was immediately a little nervous and at a loss.

"I ............"

"You are you, Xiao Bao'er is Xiao Bao'er, you can't replace him, and he can't become you. I have never confused the two of you in my heart, nor will I treat you as him, what I do to you is to you, you are not his shadow. ”

As soon as Zhiwen lowered his head, his eyes turned red again, and he whispered to Shi Qiu: "My mother disliked my father for being poor at that time, so she made a fuss with my father and divorced others, my father-in-law treated me better than my father's temper, and you treated me better than my mother-in-law." ”

Shi Qiu listened, and suddenly felt that life was like a reincarnation, so similar over and over again, when she was desperate, her godfather and godmother said that they had no children, she had no parents, so being a companion would be another family.

Now that such a thing has fallen on him, Zhiqiu also feels sad in his heart, choked in his throat, time has passed, and he has said what his godfather and godmother have said again.

"You don't have a father, I don't have a child, our mother and son are also fate, and it's over that if you put it together for a lifetime."

Although the writer is not big, he has a heart, and solemnly said to Shi Qiu: "I know what to cherish." ”

Shi Qiu sighed, patted Zhiwen's shoulder, looked at the snack he was holding in his hand and said, "I lined up to buy it for you, do you want to wait for it to cool?" ”

When Zhiwen heard this, he quickly opened the bag, knowing that it was what he loved to eat, in fact, his mouth was already greedy, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear of annoying people, and now after listening to Shi Qiu's words, he wore a toothpick in an oiled paper bag, took out one and handed it to Shi Qiu, and then he ate it one bite by bite.

As he walked, Shi Qiu asked again, "Why did that student target you?" Did you mess with him? ”

"I didn't." Zhiwen shook his head, still unconvinced at this time. "I surpassed him in every gentleman's exam, so he always looked at me unpleasantly."

"Angry what." Shi Qiu laughed. "There's no need to be angry with him, if you continue to surpass him in the next exam, wouldn't it be more angry than shouting two sentences?" ”

"That's right!" When Zhiwen heard this, there was a light in his eyes. "The next time I overtake him, I'm going to him off."

Shi Qiu said: "I have an arrogant and quarrelsome sister, and I was so angry with her when I was a child. ”

"Really? Mother. ”

"Really."
