When An Moxue saw Guo'er's pure smile, she suddenly understood that she had been thinking too much. Even if her blood relatives were gone, there were still relatives who cared about her!

If anything happened to me, I don't know how worried Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma would be. They are closer than family. Besides, don't I also have true friends like Guo'er?

Besides, things can't all be done at once, and people aren't made of iron, so how could they withstand it? That's why I got a fever and got sick.

I shouldn't get discouraged, nor should I push myself too hard. Things should be done one step at a time.

Perhaps it's a regret from a past life, but how many Chinese people feel regret that the magnificent national treasures, stolen through various illegal means and unable to return home, have been lost!

Perhaps I've been pushing myself too hard lately, but when I saw the stack of documents I took out of the safe in Nikolai's study, which contained the names of all the antique collections in my country, and that these were all in the Nikolai family's treasure room, even the best of me couldn't stay calm.

These past few days, An Moxue has been thinking about how to retrieve these things and hide them discreetly.

When the country reaches its golden age, everything must be returned to the country, not only to the Nicholas family, but also to other families.

An Moxue took Guo'er's hand and said, "I had a fever for a few days after I got back, but I was finally able to get up today. As soon as I went to my little restaurant, I heard from Duoze about how you helped. Come on, let's go to my house. I brought back some things that I brought for you. They're not very valuable, just some novelties. I also have something to tell you."

So the two of them rode side by side toward the city.

When they arrived home, An Moxue took out the things she had bought in Puda Prefecture. An Moxue took out one item, and Guo'er happily took it in her hands and examined it repeatedly, wanting to know more about it. Among them was a set of colorful dolls, each of which was adorable. Guo'er liked them very much. She asked hesitantly, "Jiduo, I really like these dolls, but my sister will like them too. Can I give her a few of the dolls?"

"Of course, it's yours now that it's given to you. You can decide for yourself. If you like it, I'll bring you another set next time I come back." An Moxue liked Guo'er, partly because Guo'er was well-educated by her parents. She grew up in the love of her family and had a kind of light that attracted An Moxue, something An Moxue never possessed. That was the confident and radiant feeling that only children who grow up surrounded by fatherly love have.

She had never experienced fatherly love in either of her lives. In her first life, her father sacrificed himself while fighting floods before she was even born, and in this life, he also sacrificed himself before she transmigrated here.

"By the way, didn't you say you had something to say? What is it?" Jiduo held the doll in her hand, not forgetting that An Moxue had said she had something to say when she picked her up.

An Moxue looked at Guo'er seriously and said, "I met a few people in Puda Prefecture and discussed a few projects, all related to cattle and sheep. Go back and ask your parents if they're interested in cooperating. If they think it's okay, I'll discuss it with them in more detail. If they don't think it's suitable, I'll find other people. Don't worry, I've already negotiated everything over there. You don't need to negotiate with them here; just deal with me directly. We'll handle the profit sharing normally. This is export business, and the quantity needed is quite large. I'll give you a document in a bit; take it back and show it to your parents, and they'll understand."

Guo'er put down the doll, stretched out her arms and hugged An Moxue, saying, "Jiduo, thank you, you're so kind."

Then, after letting go, she felt a little frustrated: "We're about the same age, so why do I feel so useless in front of you?"

An Moxue disagreed: "How could that be? You have parents and siblings ahead of you, so you don't have to worry about anything. That's such a happy thing. As for me, it's because I have no relatives or friends now. I'm all alone and have to do everything myself. That's why I've become like this. I'm supposed to be a noble lady, but I have nothing but the title."

Guo'er looked at An Moxue apologetically and said, "Jido, I'm sorry, I touched on your sad memories."

An Moxue didn't seem to care much and waved her hand. "It's okay. Go back and tell your parents as soon as possible. I should have finished this by now, but I was delayed because of my illness. Time is tight, and I have to finish it quickly before I can go back to Puda. You don't know, one of our professors is a very strict person. It was not easy for me to get this leave, and I don't have much time."

"Even if you go to university, you'll still be subject to the teachers' discipline. Sigh! It seems that going to university isn't so great after all. I'll just stay in China and get by! That kind of hard life isn't for me."

An Moxue looked at her, wanting to laugh, and said, "Come on, I'll cook you something delicious. There's some food I brought back from Russia. Take some home with you when you leave so they can try it too."

After saying that, he pulled Guo'er towards the kitchen.

"This isn't right! Why are you taking food and money at the same time?" Guo'er said, refusing, but her feet obediently followed An Moxue.

An Moxue looked at her and teased, "If you pursed your lips a little, I'd believe you a little more."

"Oh, Jido, if I take the things back, my parents will be so happy! They'll be so happy to have you as a friend, really, look at my sincere eyes." As she spoke, she pointed to her eyes.

An Moxue was in a good mood, radiating joy. "Yes, I believe you. Come on, help me out. I'm still a patient who isn't fully recovered."

Guo'er looked like she really couldn't do anything with you, and just like that, the two of them quickly prepared dinner in the kitchen.

During the meal, Guo'er was still a little hesitant to eat the fish roe. She asked again, "Jiduo, are you sure this stuff is edible? The fish roe is the size of pearls, how big must the fish be?"

An Moxue took a spoonful and scooped it out, then encouraged her, "Look, give it a try. If you don't like it, then don't eat it. You haven't even tried it yet! We don't know if it will suit your taste, and you might feel a little regretful. It's okay to take a small piece to try first."

"That's true." So Guo'er closed her eyes and ate a little bit, as if she were taking bitter medicine.

An Moxue laughed loudly, "Guo'er, you're not eating, you're eating poison."

Guo'er swallowed the fish roe and said, "It doesn't have a very strong smell, but I still don't like to eat it."

"It's alright, try this sausage again, it's prepared differently than ours."

And so, Guo'er tried one dish after another, all of which An Moxue brought back from Russia. Some of them were not to her liking, while others were her favorites.

And so, like guessing a blind box, Guo'er finished the dinner prepared by An Moxue.

Before leaving, Guo'er said very seriously, "Jiduo, thank you for bringing these things back to entertain me. I will ask my parents to carefully read the documents you gave me when I get back."

An Moxue said, "Isn't it only right that I entertain you? Aren't we friends? You even helped me out when I wasn't here!"

Guo'er said nonchalantly, "Since we're friends, there's no need to be so calculating."

An Moxue instructed, "Just give me your answer in three days. I won't be home for the next few days; I'm going out to take care of some things."

"Okay." After saying that, Guo'er picked up the gift An Moxue had given her, mounted her horse, and rode away.
