At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

As soon as he sat down, Lin Zhizhou asked: "I found out that there is not much snow on the roads in your village. Why?"

The continuous snowfall in the past few days has affected traffic. I'm afraid I won't be able to go out tomorrow. This village is an exception.

Speaking of Houyan Village, Father Zheng was a little proud.

He looked at the village chief and said: "This is our village chief's idea. We arrange for people in the village to clean it every day to prevent the snow from being too thick and making it impossible for neighbors to take care of each other."

Other villages took no action and were just waiting to see what happened. In comparison, their village became a model.

"Hahaha~"

"Okay, great idea! Your village is very lucky to have such a responsible village chief!" Lin Zhizhou laughed and patted the chair excitedly.

If the roads in the village are kept clear, then whatever happens in the village can take care of each other. After all, there are more people and more power, which can reduce a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty, the prefect is very grateful. This is what ordinary people should do." The village chief was overjoyed when he was suddenly praised by the prefect. He stood up and showed humility.

"Sit down, sit down, you should be rewarded. Whatever you say today, don't be formal." Lin Zhizhou was very excited.

"Yes!" Everyone responded together.

Seeing that everyone was still polite, Lin Zhizhou ordered: "Magistrate Huang, please spread this method in Houyan Village and see if we can reduce the casualties caused by this snow disaster."

If it really works, then he must report it to ask for a reward for this village.

"Yes! I will inform you when I get back!" County Magistrate Huang responded respectfully.

Lin Zhizhou nodded. Seeing everyone's restrained look, he turned to look at Father Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng is really full of children and grandchildren!"

Although there were only Jinbao and Xiaolin in the room, he saw many other children outside just now, and they were all very good-looking.

Father Zheng was caught off guard by what he said.

He smiled sheepishly and said, "To be honest with you, our Zheng family just has more sons. Cao Min now has five sons, seven grandsons and a little granddaughter. In this life, I am contented."

The village chief glanced at him and felt that he was showing off. It was really shameless to mention the birth of a son.

Lin Zhizhou was jealous after hearing this. Although he got married relatively late, he and his wife also struggled day by day. After giving birth to their daughter, there was no news.

There really is no harm without comparison!

Jin Bao suddenly asked: "Why doesn't Sister Yuyan have a brother?"

She has many brothers, but Sister Yuyan only has herself. How pitiful!

Boss Zheng hugged her and had no time to stop her.

Upon seeing this, Father Zheng said quickly: "The children are rude, adults, please don't be offended."

Lin Zhizhou waved his hand nonchalantly.

He replied with some embarrassment: "Xinyi and I only gave birth to one child, Yuyan. Xinyi also had a fundamental injury due to that birth, so she has had nothing to produce these years."

He and Xinyi are loving husband and wife, and they have never imitated other people to take in a house or concubine. It is naturally good to have more children. If you can't have children, you can't force them. Anyway, you already have a precious daughter.

Lin Zhizhou thought very clearly.

Father Zheng frowned and asked, "Didn't your Excellency seek medical advice?"

If you suffer a loss after giving birth to a child, it stands to reason that it should be curable.

"I've hired a lot of doctors over the years, and they all take care of me slowly. It's been years since I've been recuperating, and it's still the same." Lin Zhizhou replied nonchalantly.

What he cared about was not whether she could still have children, but her physical condition. As long as they were well, that was better than anything else.

Lin Zhizhou looked at Xinyi and Yuyan with satisfied faces.

Magistrate Huang next to him sighed after hearing this. He didn't expect that the magistrate was so clean and self-sufficient that he didn't take any concubines. This was quite similar to him.

He completely forgot how the tigress at home threatened him in the first place.

Jinbao lowered her head thoughtfully. She seemed to understand that sister Yuyan's mother was in poor health, so she couldn't have a baby.

Maybe she can help!

Thinking of this, Jin Bao's eyes were bright and he looked at Yu Yan happily, with two small dimples looming on his fair face.

Yu Yan didn't notice Jin Bao's little move. In the past, when she clamored for a younger sister, her father and mother were vague about it.

Only then did she realize that her mother was in poor health just to give birth to her.

As she thought about it, Yuyan's eyes were filled with tears, and she got into Xinyi's arms and secretly sobbed.

Xinyi noticed her daughter's little actions and was a little relieved. Her good daughter has grown up and knows that she feels sorry for her mother.

She patted Yuyan's back gently, comforting her silently.

Yu Yan wiped away her tears and raised her head, looked at Xinyi with red eyes and said, "Mother, I don't want any younger brothers or sisters in the future."

She just wants her mother to be well.

"Good~"

Xinyi held Yuyan in her arms, feeling indescribably satisfied.

After a while, Mrs. Zhou and the others came in with cakes.

"My lord, please try it. This is a skill that Cao Min's wife has just learned." Father Zheng pointed at the pastry and said.

Lin Zhizhou raised his head and saw Mrs. Zhou walking towards him with pastries. He was stunned when he looked at the familiar face.

Unconsciously she called out: "Sister Qin Wan?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's hand holding the plate trembled. She lowered her head and pretended not to hear. She placed the plate and said, "Your Excellency, eat first, while the woman prepares lunch."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Lin Zhizhou couldn't come to his senses for a long time. He was sure that he saw it right. That was Sister Qin Wan, but wasn't she dead back then?

Although Mrs. Zhou was exposed to the wind and sun all day long and her skin was a little darker, she didn't have many wrinkles. In addition, Jin Bao had been adding spring water to the water tank during this period.

Not only are there no wrinkles visible now, but her skin has also become whiter and tenderer. It has not changed much from when she was young, but has become more mature and vicissitudes of life.

No one can believe that this is a woman who has given birth to five sons. That's why Lin Zhizhou recognized him at a glance.

Lin Zhizhou sat there a little distracted, with a lot of thoughts in his heart. He had originally planned not to stay for dinner, but now he was not planning to leave early.

He had to find out what was going on.

Father Zheng frowned. He had been paying attention to Lin Zhizhou's changes, and he also heard the words 'Sister Qin Wan'.

He was the prefect, how could he know his wife's name? He couldn't remember when he revealed it.

The more Father Zheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He was no longer afraid of offending others and kept staring at Lin Zhizhou.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Zhou clutched her chest and gasped for air. No one had called her name for many years, and she never expected to meet an acquaintance here.

"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Wan Niang asked worriedly when she saw something was wrong with Mrs. Zhou.

Zhou shook her head, looked at Wan Niang and asked, "What's the name of the prefect who came to our house?"

"It seems to be called Lin Zhizhou, yes, it is Lin Zhizhou, Yu Yan's mother said it herself." Wan Niang replied.

"Lin Zhizhou, Zhizhou..." Zhou said the name repeatedly and fell into memories.
