He smiled and reminded: "Didn't you notice that your brother Lan's white hair is gone, and the fine lines around his eyes have also disappeared?"

Amuti fixed his eyes on Xie Lanzhi's smooth, tight face and his shiny black hair, and his breathing paused for a moment.

Qin Hairui squatted beside Qin Shu: "Give him to me."

Amuti also came back to his senses, his face twisted in surprise and joy, as if he didn't know how to react.

He moved mechanically, and together with Qin Hairui, he carefully carried Xie Lanzhi to the bamboo house.

Qin's mother Li Rong held Qin Shu's hand and said reluctantly, "Ah Shu, the medicinal herbs in the back mountain have matured again. Your father and I can't get away. When you give birth, we will go to the city to see you."

Qin Shu: "I will probably stay in Yunzhen for the next one or two years. We have plenty of time to meet each other. There is no need to rush."

Qin Jianguo, Qin's father, said: "Our family is not idle anymore. One or two years is too short. When the mess at home is settled, your mother and I will go to Beijing to settle down.

Your mother and I are both under fifty years old, which is the right age for us to make our own way. We can also help you take care of the business and so on."

Qin Shu's charming face showed helplessness, she said with a smile: "It is indeed the right age. When grandpa and my parents were this age, they were not married yet. He traveled all over China and lived a carefree life.

When you are done with your work, take some time to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of China. When you have had enough fun, it will be in time for you to come and help."

Qin Jianguo was moved by what he heard and looked thoughtful.

Qin's mother Li Rong said, "China is so big, it will take several years to see everything. I also want to help you take care of the children. You can't take care of four children."

Qin Shu smiled and comforted him: "Leave the child to the servants to take care of him. Just give him food and drink. According to my mother-in-law, we can't endure hardships. We live in this world to enjoy life, not to spend our best time taking care of children from generation to generation."

This sounds fresh.

But if you listen carefully, you can appreciate some of the truth.

“Beep beep—”

A car horn sounded and Qin Shu let go of her mother's hand.

"Mom and Dad, I have to go. Lanzhi has an important meeting tomorrow."

*

Xie Lanzhi woke up slowly and found himself lying on the bed in the district committee staff quarters.

It was bright outside, and the morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains, shining on the thin quilt and guardrail at the end of the bed.

Just as he opened his eyes, he heard a soft, gentle voice with a hint of laziness from his side.

"You are finally awake. If you don't wake up, I will wake you up."

Because Xie Lanzhi is a soldier, he has a biological clock and almost missed the time today.

Xie Lanzhi, who had just woken up, had gentle facial features and lazy, deep eyes full of affection.

He stared at Qin Shu leaning against the bed and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Was I struck by lightning yesterday?"

Xie Lanzhi still remembered the moment he was struck by lightning in the courtyard of the Qin Family Ancestral Hall last night.

It’s not the feeling of being on the verge of death, but an indescribable feeling, as if the meridians in the body have been opened up.

Qin Shu looked at Xie Lanzhi's radiant, angular and delicate face, and said with a sad face: "Yes, you were struck by lightning and your face was disfigured. Now you are so ugly that people can't bear to look at you."

"..." Xie Lanzhi's face was blank.

She doesn't look like she cares that much and doesn't seem to have any burden on her appearance.

The next moment, Xie Lanzhi roughly pulled back the quilt at the fastest speed in his life, took a long step, and ran straight to the bathroom in the bedroom.

Qin Shu was stunned at first, then she burst into laughter: "Hahahaha——!"

“Bang!”

There was a sound of something colliding in the bathroom.

Qin Shu could imagine that Xie Lanzhi must be surprised and happy to see her face restored.

"Ah Shu!"

Xie Lanzhi's voice came from the bathroom, trying hard to suppress his excitement.
