After she said this, the fourth aunt no longer looked at the female dolls with the same disgust as before, and the previous anger had completely disappeared.

She stood up and took the sweet egg soup back from Jin Wa's hand, and handed it to Huandi: "You drink it, be quick with your movements."

Jin Wa cried out again and was directly dragged out by the receptionist.

The fourth aunt took a look and then said: "What a blessing, what a blessing. I heard that there is a war in the far west, and there is a drought in the middle. We never know when disaster will come to us."

She sighed, the sadness on her face was not fake.

Qin Zhiyi also knew this.

The Central Plains is vast and sparsely populated, and Yunyang County is located between the Central Plains and the western border.

Although it's not far away, it's not close either. In ancient times, we relied on the sky for food. If there was really a disaster, no one could escape.

She also discovered that although this year's harvest was good, there was no shortage of rain, and everyone had some surplus food, she had never seen it rain since she came to this world.

After careful calculation, she found that in late autumn, when there were still leaves on the mountain, there were only bare tree trunks left on the mountain.

Thinking about it again, it has actually been almost two months since she came here.

If it doesn't rain for two whole months, it will definitely have an impact.

When the two people said this, they fell silent again.

After the four girls finished eating the sugar-watered eggs, they didn't even dare to speak loudly. They carefully collected the bowls and took them to the kitchen to wash them.

Cousin-in-law Guizhi slowly came to her side, looked at her belly and sighed: "It's not that the baby girl doesn't feel distressed, it's really useless. Why do you think my belly is so unsatisfactory? I gave birth to three babies in a row.

They are all girls, but you are so awesome, you gave birth to a pair of children in one go, and you have everything."

As she spoke, she gently stroked her belly with her hands, her eyes full of envy.

Only then did Qin Zhiyi notice her cousin's sister-in-law's slightly bulging belly.

"Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"

Guizhi nodded: "I'm afraid. If another daughter comes, how do you think the family can support her?"

The fourth aunt was still beside her, and she couldn't say anything. She could only comfort her and said: "It doesn't matter whether the boy or the girl is already in the belly. What else can you do? Just put your mind back and take good care of your body. Wait until he comes out."

become."

Guizhi wiped away her tears, feeling that her life was miserable.

Because she gave birth to three daughters in succession, she was laughed at behind the back by many people in the village.

As time passed, even her husband had an opinion, saying that he had broken the roots when he came to her.

Every time she thought of these words, she wanted to take off her belt and hang herself.

Qin Zhiyi didn't stay at her fourth aunt's place, nor did she say much to Sister-in-law Guizhi. She only sat there for a while and then went to Grandma's house again.

The light in Ah Nai's house was much darker. She held Grandma's hand and felt sad for a while: "Nai, why don't you go back to my father's house to live? Although my father has done stupid things, now I am back."

Auntie had a smile on her face: "I'm not going back. I'm comfortable living here. Don't look at this house. I asked your fourth uncle to build it for me. I'm not used to living with any of them."

, it’s better for the two of us to live together when we’re old, it’s enough for me to be with my wife when we’re old together.”

"Don't look at this house, it doesn't look good. It's warm in winter and cool in summer."

The house is warm, the walls are made of wheat husks and mud, and your hands are not that cold when you touch them.

"You just need to live comfortably."

In addition to white rice and flour, she also shared some dried vegetables with Ah Nai and the others. She also kept 20 kilograms of cornmeal and corn each. Whether the two old people ate it themselves or gave it away, it was their own business to give it to them.

In addition to these, she also brought them a small jar of lard and meat.

"Grandma, don't be reluctant to eat this lard. Eat more oil and water in winter to prevent frostbite. And these meats. If you can't finish them, put a layer of salt on them and hang them up. Cut a little when eating and put more in the pot.

Stew them until they are well-cooked for digestion. The same goes for dry vegetables, which need to be boiled before eating."

Grandma listened and nodded repeatedly.

Because of my age, my teeth are not in good condition. I have lost a lot of teeth in my mouth, and my mouth shrinks when I speak.

He would stare at her for a moment, as if he was afraid that if he missed a second, she would disappear.

Qin Zhiyi looked sad and had red circles under his eyes several times. He couldn't help lowering his head and pretending to talk casually. He looked up again when his mood stabilized a bit.

"Grandma, I know it's convenient for you to live here, but no matter what, you have to promise me that you will come to live with me for a while in the spring. I have two little kids to work in the fields, and there is no one at home to take care of me.

No, just go over and show me two little dolls, okay?"

When she said this, grandma nodded repeatedly: "Yes, of course, I will show you two little babies when spring begins."

If she hadn't been worried about getting too late, she wouldn't have wanted to go back.

By the time she and her eldest brother rushed back, the sun was almost setting.

When she got on the bullock cart, she kept looking back. She didn't look back until the thatched houses were no longer visible.

The eldest brother drove the car in front and comforted her: "Little sister, don't worry about it. Grandpa and grandma are in good health now. The two old people have company. No matter where they live, just feel happy."

She responded, feeling a little better.

By the time they both returned, it was completely dark.

Dabao and Erni had dinner at grandma's house, and some food was left for them.

Qin Zhiyi finished eating hastily and took his two children home.

She held the two little guys one by one with one hand, and Erni was still talking like before, with her little mouth talking non-stop.

"Aniang, when will grandma arrive at our house?"

"Aniang, my great-grandma is very kind to me. I like my great-grandma. Next time you go to see her, can you take me with you?"

Qin Zhiyi patiently replied to Erni's words. When she passed by the door of Mrs. Qin's house, the door of Mrs. Qin's house opened with a creak.

"Hey, it's Ayi. You just came back when it was so dark. Where did you go so late at night? I haven't seen you all day."

Qin Zhiyi replied casually: "I'm going to my mother's house."

After hearing this, Mrs. Qin frowned.

Of course she knew that she was going to her parents' house, and she also knew that she went to town.

But the bad thing is, the little widow followed her brother to the town, and the man with a foreign surname also followed.

It was obvious that the two of them had moved to another place to get along.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.

In the end, he just hummed twice and turned around and went back to the house.

Qin Zhiyi didn't care so much and hurried back home with his two children.

The oil lamp was lit, and the dark room gave people a sense of safety.

After telling the two children to go to bed, she went to the chicken coop and took a look. She saw that the two chickens had already gotten into the chicken coop, and blocked the door of the chicken coop with a board.

There were weasels on the mountain, so the chicken coop had to be closed at night. Her mother said that someone in the village forgot to close the chicken coop at night, and more than a dozen chickens were dragged clean by weasels in one night, and all of them were bitten to death.

In the dead of night, the two little guys gradually fell into sleep.

She knew that living in Qinjiazhuang with two little ones was not a long-term solution.

What she wants most now is to settle down first and wait until the situation is better in the coming year before she can think of other ways to make money.

In the future, we will have to move to towns and larger places. After all, the environment for nurturing children is also very important.
