Qin introduced them to Qin Jin'an one by one.

The desk was small; it was custom-made by Qin Tianhai and was very suitable for Qin Jin'an's current use. The writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were all neatly arranged to one side.

Qin Jin'an sighed helplessly; he still couldn't escape the need to learn to read.

The white-spotted creature wagged its tail frantically, whimpering softly.

Master, master, I'll teach you, I'll teach you.

It's the smartest; it can even teach its owner.

"Sweetie, we can learn to read slowly, there's no rush."

Qin Shi could easily see Qin Jin'an's worries. As she looked at him, she couldn't help but smile. Her darling was just too adorable.

Her little eyebrows were furrowed, and she would purse her lips and sigh, as if she were thinking of some idea.

Qin felt her heart soften, and she gently embraced Qin Jin'an, placing a kiss on her hair.

"Um."

Qin Jin'an smiled sweetly again, "It's just recognizing characters, how difficult can it be? You can learn one character every three days, you'll definitely be able to learn it."

Qin took Qin Jin'an to see their workshop, a spacious workshop that occupied several acres of land, where almost all the women in the village worked.

Young girls were also there.

Qin Jin'an saw several familiar faces.

To ensure cleanliness, people wore masks and leather gloves, and looked very neat.

The pay for a full day's work is forty coins, and for half a day it's twenty coins.

"Sweetie, how about some freshly made pork jerky?"

Qin asked Qin Jin'an.

Qin Jin'an nodded repeatedly: "I want to eat, I want to eat."

During the time she was trapped, gray rats brought her food every day, but the rats were small, so she didn't get that much jerky.

It's freshly made, baked at a low temperature, steaming hot and glistening with oil—it smells amazing!

The Qin family has improved the recipe several times to ensure that the taste is optimal.

"tasty."

Qin Jin'an's eyes lit up after taking a bite.

Madam Qin said with a smile, "Mother has been researching something new recently. Once it's made, the first thing I'll give to my darling is to eat."

With her daughter back by her side, Qin felt full of energy. She already had a lot of money, but she felt it wasn't enough. She wanted to work hard to earn more so that her daughter would never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of her life.

Upon hearing that there was delicious food, Qin Jin'an nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

Her mother's cooking was always delicious, and she was already looking forward to it.

Pork jerky, noodle rolls, and fish jerky all come in several flavors, and are well-established, highly refined varieties.

Back home, Qin Jin'an yawned.

Qin carried her back to the room to sleep, gently patting her and humming a tune, her gaze incredibly tender.

After Qin Jin'an fell asleep, Qin Shi quietly closed the door and came out.

Qin Yulin was making a cradle for the baby, while Zhao was sewing clothes. Qin felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched this scene.

"Is Yu Bao asleep? Then by the time she wakes up, I'll have finished making this little gadget."

Qin Yulin continued speaking, but his hands didn't stop moving.

Qin walked over and couldn't help but laugh: "Big brother, what made you think of making a bamboo dragonfly for Yu Bao?"

Qin Yulin is making bamboo dragonflies, which are very common children's toys. They are not complicated but require a lot of thought.

Qin Yulin's work may seem rough and careless, but he put a lot of effort into it, carving beautiful dragonflies into the bamboo strips.

"It's getting cold, and Yu Bao can't find any ants to watch. She's always squatting down watching the ants, which makes her susceptible to getting cold. I don't know what she likes to play with, so I just made some things. There's even a spinning top here."

Qin Yulin smiled and said that the child's health had improved a lot, which was obvious. Based on his observation and understanding, he could tell that the child did not like to move around. If a child does not like to move around, it must be because there is nothing that interests her.

He, as the uncle, didn't have any great skills; all he knew how to do were the kinds of things that ordinary children liked to play with.

"Thank you, brother."

Madam Qin was deeply moved; she, as the mother, hadn't even considered this.

When Qin held the spinning top, she realized that it was not so simple; it had several smiley faces on it.

When Qin Yulin saw that she had discovered it, he was extremely pleased with himself.

"How was it? My cooking skills are pretty good, right, brother?"

Qin Yulin proudly took credit.

Madam Qin smiled and nodded, saying that it was not just good, but absolutely the best.

Zhao chuckled, "Little sister, what do you think of this sandbag I made?"

When Qin turned around, she found that Zhao was not making children's clothes; she was sewing sandbags.

There are butterfly shapes, flower shapes, and chubby puppy shapes.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know what to say."

Qin was filled with gratitude, her emotions beyond words.

"There's no need to say anything. I'm Yu Bao's aunt. We're family."

Zhao placed the sandbag into Qin's hands, her smile gentle.

Madam Qin nodded. Yes, she didn't need to say anything. They were family, and family members should care for each other like this.

In the afternoon, when Qin Jin'an woke up, she found Bai Diandian sitting on top of her on her bed.

Qin Jin'an immediately sat up and said seriously, "Bai Diandian, we're already home. This is our own bed. You're out running around every day, your feet are dirty..."

Bai Diandian drooped her ears and made a "woof woof" sound, then raised her little feet to show Qin Jin'an.

Master, look, it's clean.

It was a black dog, but its paws were a light black with a pinkish tinge. Its paws were very clean; it had been washed and dried before coming to bed.

It just wants to be close to its owner.

If the green snake can sleep in its owner's arms, why can't it get on the bed?

Qin Jin'an sighed: "Alright, then you have to wash yourself clean every day before you come up here."

The white-dotted ears perked up; it was overjoyed.

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Qin Jin'an went outside and discovered the gift her uncle had given her.

"Come and have some soup, have some meat, and then go out and play for a while."

Qin peeked out and waved to her.

Qin Jin'an ran over happily; it was chicken soup.

It tasted just as good as ever. She drank the soup and ate the meat, and also secretly fed Bai Dian Dian.

She went out with a sandbag and a bamboo dragonfly, and soon started playing with several children.

"Yu Bao, the toys your uncle made are so beautiful."

Wang Cui held Qin Jin'an's bamboo dragonfly, a look of envy on her face.

Qin Jin'an proudly raised his head: "Of course, my uncle is the best uncle, my uncle is amazing."

Qin Jin'an imitated everyone else playing with bamboo dragonflies. He spun the bamboo dragonfly in his palm and sent it flying very high. Everyone laughed and ran to pick it up.

While playing with the sandbag, Qin Jin'an was hit but remained dazed.

But soon she gritted her teeth and began to dodge left and right, running with everyone from one end to the other.

More and more children joined, and the whole village was filled with children's laughter.

Outside the village, a horse-drawn carriage was returning.

The horse suddenly sped up.

Zhang couldn't help but mutter, "Why is this horse suddenly going so fast? It's never been like this before."

Qin Tianhai was quite familiar with horses. He said in a deep voice, "It looks very happy. We're almost home. Hold on tight."

Qin Tianhai heard the children's laughter. One of the sounds was very familiar to him. Qin Tianhai laughed and said, "I was wondering why this guy suddenly started running. It turns out his owner has returned."
