"This space..."

After entering the space, Qin Zijin was stunned for a moment, and then he found that the area of ​​the space was much larger than before, at least increased by one third.

Even the area of ​​the fields has doubled in size.

Including the pond in front of the hut, it has twice as big as before, with more fish in it. Occasionally, you can see fish jumping out of the water, causing ripples.

Qin Zijin was filled with doubts and uncertainty.

"System, why did this space suddenly become bigger?" Qin Zijin asked in his heart as he walked towards the thatched cottage.

"When the planting amount reaches a certain level, the portable space will randomly increase its area. The host has planted more than 10,000 kilograms of grain in total, so the space has expanded autonomously." The system's answer came out quickly.

"You never told me this before." Qin Zijin complained in his heart.

The system did not give any response.

Qin Zijin pushed open the door and entered the thatched cottage.

The originally simple thatched hut has now changed its appearance.

From the outside, it still looks like an ordinary thatched hut, but when you push open the door, you will find a different world inside.

The house has everything you need including living room, kitchen, bedroom and study, and all furniture is available.

Even in the study, there are a lot of books. The bookshelves on all ten walls are filled with various books. It is estimated that there are no less than 100,000 books in the collection.

This series of changes made Qin Zijin a little confused.

If the system expands because the number of plantings reaches a certain number, then what about the changes in the huts?

Is this also what brought it about?

However, Qin Zijin didn't have time to be surprised. He walked around the room and went out again.

After harvesting the ripe crops in the fields, they planted a new batch.

After finishing the planting, I was so tired that I didn't want to move, so I just went into the house and lay on the bed. After a while, I fell into a deep sleep.

"Mother……"

A weak and hoarse voice sounded in Qin Zijin's ears.

Almost at the moment he heard the sound, Qin Zijin suddenly woke up.

Faint light shone in through the gaps in the wall and the roof, and Qin Zijin subconsciously reached out to touch Tang Simeng next door.

"Mother……"

That weak voice spoke again.

Qin Zijin couldn't contain his excitement and quickly got up and lit the candle.

When I looked at the bed again, I saw that it was Tang Ruixuan who woke up.

The little guy's face was still a little pale, and he didn't look particularly well at the moment.

Qin Zijin carefully helped the man up, reached out to touch his forehead, and frowned, "Xuanxuan, tell your mother if you feel uncomfortable."

"Mom, I saw Dad. He said he was so cold and in pain, and he was covered in blood. Mom, where is Dad?" Tang Ruixuan asked weakly with his eyes open, looking at Qin Zijin.

Qin Zijin was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so she could only hug Tang Ruixuan and gently touch his head.

After a long while, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Dad went out to make money. When he makes money, he will come back."

"Really?" Tang Ruixuan asked softly.

"Well, really, how could mom lie to you? You are still very weak now, you should have a good rest. Are you hungry? I will make you something to eat." Qin Zijin gently touched his forehead, nodded, and said seriously.

Tang Ruixuan looked at Qin Zijin for a while before nodding and closing his eyes again.

Qin Zijin put him down, took his pulse and checked him, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing serious wrong with his body.

She cooked a pot of millet porridge and carefully fed it to Tang Ruixuan.

After Tang Ruixuan had his fill, he looked much better and regained some energy.

"Mom, I'm useless. I failed to protect my sister. My uncle came in, beat my sister, and wanted to hurt mom..." After Tang Ruixuan finished his meal, he looked at Tang Simeng next door who had not woken up yet, his face full of self-blame.

"This has nothing to do with you. You are still young. It's my fault that I failed to protect you." Qin Zijin shook her head gently and hugged Tang Ruixuan in her arms with heartache.

"No, I'm not strong enough. Mom, when I get better, I want to learn kung fu, and I also want to join the army. I want to become very strong, and I want to protect you and my sister." Although Tang Ruixuan is young, he is not stupid.

Qin Zijin's reaction made him realize that something must have happened to Tang Shen.

Since his father is not at home, he will be the only man in the family from now on.

Therefore, the responsibility of protecting his mother and sister naturally falls on him.

"Xuanxuan..." Qin Zijin frowned and looked at Tang Ruixuan.

Tang Ruixuan smiled at her, "Mom, I can do it. I'm a man, cough cough cough..."

"Okay, then you have to take good care of your health. When you get better, I'll wait for you to make money to support me." Qin Zijin nodded in agreement and stretched out his hand to press several acupoints on Tang Ruixuan's body.

Tang Ruixuan only felt a wave of tiredness coming over him. He blinked his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.

Qin Zijin looked at Tang Ruixuan's sleeping face, then looked at Tang Simeng, and gave Tang Simeng a detailed examination.

Tang Simeng's injuries were lighter than Tang Ruixuan's, but he showed no signs of waking up yet. It was estimated that he would have to wait for another two days.

Qin Zijin saw that it was getting late, so she got up and made breakfast.

There was one less person at home, and without the two children chattering, Qin Zijin was not used to it at first.

After breakfast was ready and he had breakfast, Qin Zijin carried his hoe and went to the fields.

You have to plow the land in winter and then plant some things in spring.

Many people who remained knew that something had happened to Tang Shen. Seeing Qin Zijin still working in the fields, they couldn't help but look sideways and take a few more glances at him.

"Qin Zhiqing, Tang Shen is gone now. Have you ever considered remarrying? It's not easy for a woman like you to take care of two children." Qin Zijin had just gone down to the field and started working when a woman in her early fifties came over with a smile, stood on the edge of the field, waved her hand and talked to Qin Zijin.

Qin Zijin raised the hoe and slammed it to the ground. He turned and looked at the woman: "Aunt Huazhi, I don't care who paid you to say these things to me, please get out of my sight immediately, otherwise, the hoe in my hand will hit you on the head!"

"Oh, why are you so fierce? Am I not telling the truth? You are a married woman with two children. There is a man who doesn't despise you and is willing to marry you. You should just smile secretly. Why are you so ungrateful?" Aunt Huazhi immediately started to mock her in a sarcastic tone when she heard it.

Qin Zijin grabbed the hoe in his hand and wanted to hit someone.

Seeing that Qin Zijin was really angry, Aunt Huazhi was so scared that she turned around and ran away, and soon ran far away.

Even after running away, he was still muttering, "What kind of people are they? I wanted to help her out of good intentions, but she didn't appreciate it at all. She really took my kindness for granted. Ugh!"

Qin Zijin was very angry, but the appearance of Aunt Huazhi made her understand that after Tang Shen left, such things would only happen more often.
