After dinner, everyone went their separate ways. Sister Guo Ninghuan washed the dishes and wiped the table. After they were done, they went to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden. They didn't pick much, just enough for tonight and tomorrow.

Guo Youxing took his brother Guo Haochen to the sweet potato field to cut sweet potato vines, and then they chopped the sweet potato vines together and cooked them for pigs and chickens.

Before leaving, Guo Youxing took the key and went to find Uncle Guo.

Ask Uncle Guo to help feed the chickens and pigs at home in the evening. He will be back as early as possible tomorrow. If he hasn't come back yet, please ask Uncle Guo to feed them again.

Afterwards, several people carried their things to the town.

Tomorrow is market day, and the village will need to use ox carts. The bicycles at home can't seat so many people, so they just walk.

After arriving, they started cleaning. Even if the store is not open for business, it must be kept clean and tidy.

Guo Ningwan put the rag on the table and sat on the stool. "I'm tired. Let me take a break. Let my brothers and sisters do these things."

She was exhausted after walking such a long distance.

Guo Ninghuan looked at Guo Ningwan and smiled, "You are the only one who knows how to be lazy."

Guo Ningwan pouted and said to Guo Ninghuan coquettishly: "Hehe, I'm still young."

"You're already in first grade and you're still young? If you don't want to work, just say it. You're a big lazy bum." Guo Haoxi complained.

Hearing this, Guo Ningwan felt extremely aggrieved. It wasn't like she was lazy and didn't work every day. Her second brother was being too serious.

She looked at Guo Haochen with grievance, and raised her hand to point a finger at Guo Haoxi, "Brother, please take care of my second brother. I just did a little less work, but he actually called me a lazy bum. That's too much."

"Wanwan in our family is the most diligent, how can she be called a lazy bum?" After saying that, Guo Haochen turned to Guo Haoxi and said, "Guo Haoxi, are you itching to say that to your little sister?"

Seeing the dangerous look in his elder brother's eyes, Guo Haoxi became timid under the suppression of his blood.

He said reluctantly: "Yes, yes, Wanwan is the most diligent, and I am the lazy one."

Hearing this, Guo Ningwan smiled and said, "My eldest brother and sister are still the best." Unlike her second brother, who always likes to find fault with her.

"I'm cleaning." Deng Qingling's voice came from not far from the door.

Guo Haochen and his siblings were extremely surprised. Guo Ningwan ran out first, and Guo Ninghuan and the others threw away the rag and ran out too.

"Mom, you're back. Where's my dad?" Guo Ningwan asked as soon as she saw Deng Qingling.

Deng Qingling looked at Guo Ningwan and said with a smile, "Your father has returned to the steel mill. He still has to go to work tomorrow."

"Mom." Guo Haochen took the luggage from Deng Qingling.

After the twins greeted Deng Qingling, she asked, "Did you come to the store early?"

"We just arrived not long ago and thought you would be back tomorrow, but grandpa brought us to the town." Guo Haochen said.

"Where is your grandpa?" Deng Qingling asked.

"Grandpa is resting in my room." Guo Haoxi's eyes fell on the luggage. "Mom, can we share the gifts now?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Deng Qingling opened the luggage and distributed clothes to them.

"Wow, it looks so beautiful." Guo Ningwan looked at the clothes and liked them very much.

This is the dress that Guo Yu picked for Guo Ningwan, it is pink.

The top has a stand-up collar and a lace printed edge on the outside of the collar. There is also a lace printed edge on both sides from the shoulders to the abdomen.

The middle area of ​​the lace is goose yellow, the buttons are red, there are three peach-pink maple leaves slanting down from the upper right corner of the clothes, and three goose yellow maple leaves are also embroidered on the left hem.

The pants are also pink, and the two front pockets also have a lace print.

Guo Ninghuan's clothes are also of this style, but the pattern is different. There are butterflies embroidered on her clothes.

Guo Ninghuan and Guo Ningwan, who got the new clothes first, couldn't wait to put them on.

Guo Ningwan stretched out her hands, turned around, and said with a chuckle, "Mom, do I look good?"

"It looks good." Deng Qingling saw that the pink dress really suited Guo Ningwan.

She had fair skin to begin with, and the peach-colored dress made her look even whiter.

Yes, as a little girl, how can she not look good in these pink clothes.

Guo Ninghuan next to him looked at Deng Qingling with expectant eyes.

Looking like he's asking for praise.

Deng Qingling smiled, reached out and touched Guo Ninghuan's hair, and said, "Our Huanhuan and Wanwan are the most beautiful girls in the world. Everyone loves them, flowers bloom when they see them, and cars get flat tires when they see them."

After hearing Deng Qingling's praise, Guo Ninghuan's ears turned red and he felt extremely embarrassed.

"Mom, what do you think of our clothes? Don't they look handsome?"

Deng Qingling turned around when she heard Guo Haoxi's voice behind her.

The blue sportswear makes the Guo Haochen brothers look particularly energetic and full of vitality.

"It looks very nice and energetic." Deng Qingling praised.

Seeing her eldest son's tall appearance, Deng Qingling felt very emotional.

Before I knew it, my son had grown up and would be leaving home in a few years.

... ...

The mother and son kissed each other for a while, and then Deng Qingling sent Guo Haochen to boil water for her bath.

Deng Qingling washed herself from head to toe. While she was drying her hair, Guo Haochen and his siblings were washing clothes by the well in the backyard.

Usually, clothes are washed by Guo Ninghuan and her sister. Today they wash their own clothes, and Deng Qingling's clothes will be washed by Guo Ninghuan.

They had just finished washing the clothes when Guo Youxing woke up.

Seeing his daughter-in-law coming back, Guo Youxing said he was going back to the village.

Deng Qingling and the children tried to persuade him to stay, but he refused and went back with the gift Guo Yu gave him.
