Zhang Xifeng didn’t answer Qiqi’s question directly.

When they were far away, she explained to Qiqi, “people are like this sometimes. When other people were not doing well, they would sigh, pity, gloat, and have a sense of superiority. But they’ll be jealous and disappointed once someone else is doing well. They won’t want others to do better than them.”

“Our Taoxi village has been poor for decades. In some people’s eyes, we should continue to be poor.

Qiqi didn’t understand. Her little face was full of confusion. “Why? ”

“Because they can’t accept someone who has always been worse than them suddenly stepping on their heads.” Zhang Xifeng smiled and touched the child’s head. “You’ll understand when you grow up. This is human nature.”

Looking at the old lady who turned around to bargain with the butcher, Qiqi’s mind was still in a daze.

Those words were beyond her comprehension. She listened very carefully, but she still couldn’t understand ..

“Eggie, what is human nature?”

“Look to the right. That’s human nature.” The little egg-man responded in a casual tone.

Qiqi’s head was full of question marks. Before she could turn her head to look, she heard a heavy object fall to the ground.

It was a young man who looked like a hooligan. He was wearing a shirt and jeans. He was lying on the ground with twisted facial features and stiff fingers. The strangest thing was that his long hair had all exploded.

It was as if he had been electrocuted.

Something slipped out of his pocket as the young man fell to the ground.

There were a few bundles of money, some wrapped in rubber bands, some in transparent plastic bags, and some dressed in a half-scattered handkerchief.

There was a moment of silence, followed by exclamations and curses.

“That’s my handkerchief! There were 17 Yuan and 20 cents inside! Why did it fall out of his body?”

“Damn it. This person is a thief! He also stole my money, and the rubber band was mine!”

The crowd reacted quickly and rushed forward to catch the thief and claim their money.

Zhang Xifeng had already picked up Qiqi when she heard her falling to the ground and retreated to the side. At this time, listening to the people scolding her for being a thief, she quickly touched her pocket. The money was still there.

Only then did she heave a sigh of relief. She had brought 50 yuan with her this time, and after spending some, she still had more than 20 yuan left. It was not a small amount.

At this moment, Qiqi’s eyes were dull, and there were more question marks on her head than before.

“This man has been following you since the supply and marketing cooperative. I’ve been waiting for him to make a move.” The little egg-man crossed his arms and sneered.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This oriole had become impatient, so when it attacked, it deliberately used a bit of force.

He would probably be shaking for a few more minutes.

“Eggie, will he .. Will he die?” The child asked in a trembling voice.

The little egg-man rolled its eyes. “The system can’t kill! I just electrocuted him. Why would he die? Do I look like a murderer?”

“....”A moment later, the child’s voice suddenly rose. “Eggie, you can discharge electricity?!”

“Oh, yeah.” The little egg-man said casually. “I can release electricity once I collected enough energy”

“..” Qiqi, “???”

The crowd took back their money and sent the thief, who was still shaking, to the town police station.

Qiqi thought that things would end here. She didn’t expect that it was just the beginning.

It was unknown whether the little egg-man had found joy or his eyes were red with killing intent. After that, every once in a while, someone near Qiqi would fall to the ground.

Every time someone fell to the ground, the little egg-man would add a slogan in a cold and indifferent voice.

“I’ve seen injustice on the road.”

“Punish the evil.”

“To serve the people.”

“Fight for justice.”

Qiqi, “....”

Qiqi was tired and wanted to eat a five-cent popsicle.

Zhang Xifeng was worried that her child would be hungry, so she bought her a popsicle and a bowl of water cake.

The water cake steamed out of the small bowl was brown and translucent. It was soft and bouncy and had a light sweetness to it. It was incredibly delicious.

The food wasn’t expensive, and the child ate with a smile.

By the time Chen Jianhe had finished shopping and rushed to meet up with them, the sun was already setting.

“Here, Qiqi. This is the fried oil fried rice that is only sold on market day. It’s wrapped in white sugar. It’s delicious.” Chen Jianhe also bought some snacks for Qiqi.

Zhang Xifeng took the fried oil dumpling and smiled. “I wanted to buy it for Qiqi to try, but she thought it was expensive and didn’t let me buy it.”

“Qiqi is sensible. She doesn’t like to squander money.” Chen Jianhe patted Qiqi’s head. “If you want it, eat it. Second uncle will buy it for you!”

On the way back, the adults talked about the strange things in the market today. They were all inexplicable, and I felt that it was weird.

In just half a day, five thieves had been sent to the police station, and all five of them had been found out when they had fallen to the ground.

Qiqi sat on the front rail of the bicycle. She pursed her lips and straightened her back, not daring to make a sound.

Only she knew that this was Eggie’s work.

Yes, it was a good thing.

To serve the people!

When the three of them returned to the entrance of Taoxi village, it was already sunset.

Near the river at the village entrance, seeing that the children who went to herd cows had not returned home, they waved and greeted Qiqi from afar.

Seeing this, Chen Jianhe simply put Qiqi down and let her play with her friends for a while before returning.

Zhang Xifeng didn’t have any objections. She happily took a basket of things and went home to cook first.

“Qiqi, what did you buy in town? Did you bring any food?” As soon as Qiqi got off the car, Huazi and a few other turnips rushed over.

“Yes, there’s the deep-fried dough that the Second Uncle bought and the lard candy that Granny bought. I’ve left some for Granny. You can eat the rest.” Qiqi smiled and opened the bag of snacks for her friends to take.

In an instant, the bag of snacks was emptied.

The children sat on the grass by the road, eating and laughing, each little face shining brightly.

Qiqi also sat beside them, feeling joy, relaxed and comfortable.

She looked around and felt a little strange. “Why is brother Tiejun not here? ”

Huazi replied casually, “his parents came back today. That kid is so happy that he doesn’t even look at the cows. He’s stuck to them at home the whole day as if he hasn’t been weaned.”

Qiqi arched her eyebrows. “Brother Huazi, you are the same age as brother Doggie.”

“Doggie hasn’t weaned off milk, and neither has Huazi.” Hahaha! the other kids immediately jeered.

Huazi stuffed the last mouthful of the snack into his mouth and reached out to grab the people who laughed at him with his oily hands.

Qiqi was the first to bear the oily hands, and her little face was smeared with several oil marks.

After dinner and a bath, Qiqi changed into a beautiful floral shirt and light-colored pants. She combed her hair, and her chubby little face was delicate and beautiful. She was even more likable than the doll in the portrait.

“Qiqi! Qiqi!” A call came from outside the wattled yard.

Qiqi ran out in a hurry. With the light from the central room, she recognized that the person who called her was Doggie.

The little boy puffed out his chest and raised his head high. He was very smug. “My parents are back. They brought me some chestnut cakes that can only be found in a city far away! I’ll give you two!”
