This little girl is so pretty; if she doesn't remove the dirt from her face, she won't be pretty when she grows up.

Noticing Madam Ding approaching him, Gu Xiaoran smiled and said, "Xiaoran is very gentle and won't hurt your sister."

Madam Ding gently rocked the cradle. "Little Ran, how wonderful it would be if you could really wipe Tian Tian's face clean."

"I definitely will. Every time Xiaoran sees Xiaodingtian, she wipes it for her." Gu Xiaoran looked serious, like a little adult.

Madam Ding smiled wryly and patted Gu Xiaoran's head. "I hope so."

It was rare that Gu Xiaoran was willing to get close to her daughter.

Apart from Zhang Yuyan, all her other nieces looked at her with disdain and no one wanted to tease her.

As soon as Qiu Yan entered Madam Ding's courtyard, she heard Madam Ding talking to her adopted son, so she quickly walked forward.

"Xiao Ran, what are you doing here?"

Gu Xiaoran turned around and said, "Mother, I've come to see my little sister."

After he finished speaking, he continued to look at the baby girl in the cradle. "Her face can never be wiped clean."

"Master, you've arrived." Zhu Juan greeted Qiu Yan, her eyes constantly watching Gu Xiaoran's movements.

Children don't know their own strength, so you must not hurt them.

When Madam Ding saw Qiu Yan and Shen Yu arrive together, she approached them and said, "I was strolling around outside when I ran into Xiao Ran, so I brought him to visit my home."

After asking around, she learned that Qiu Yan was going back to the village today, and immediately decided to go with her.

Perfect timing, she had some free time too.

When Gu Xiaoran learned that Qiu Yan was going back to the village, she wanted to go back with her.

Qiu Yan did not refuse and brought Zhu Juan along.

Back in the village, Qiu Yan passed by the village chief's house and found that the village chief and his wife were busy building a house, so she went up to exchange a few pleasantries.

The village chief's original intention was to have Qiu Dafu send someone to help him build a house, since Qiu Dafu was shrewd despite his rough exterior, and he trusted him.

However, Qiu Dafu was currently busy building a house for the prefect, and he didn't want to wait, so he had to find another team of craftsmen.

Zhao Jun did not go out; he also helped with the construction of the house.

After exchanging a few words with the village chief's family, Qiu Yan led Madam Ding and Shen Yu straight to the medicinal herb field.

As she passed by her own courtyard, she didn't forget to give a brief introduction.

Madam Ding looked intently at Qiu Yan's courtyard and liked it at first sight.

Living here, the scenery is beautiful, the atmosphere is quiet and serene.

Shen Yu couldn't help but take a second look; Miss Qiu's courtyard was quite different from the farmhouses he remembered.

Gu Xiaoran, who had been thinking about her two uncles, went directly to the Li family.

Zhu Juan followed closely behind. Today was her first time returning to the village with Qiu Yan, and everything here felt unfamiliar.

However, because she was born in a mountain village, she felt more of a sense of familiarity.

Li Zheng went to the ranch, leaving only Ye Shi and their two children at home.

Gu Xiaoran excitedly ran into the room, "Honey, I'm back!"

As Mrs. Ye was washing diapers for her three children inside the house, Gu Xiaoran suddenly barged in, surprising her. "Xiaoran, why are you back at this time?"

"I came back with my mother." After Gu Xiaoran finished speaking, she clung to the cradle and looked at her two uncles. "Your uncles have grown so much in just a few days."

He wanted to tease them, but the two children were sleeping.

After looking at Xiao Dingtian, Gu Xiaoran looked at the two children of the Li family and thought that the two uncles were quite tall.

Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "How can they grow if they don't grow?" Her two children were not big when they were born, but they grew very well and changed every day.
