That’s right! It started from that day…

Xiaoguo suddenly remembered that there was something wrong with Zhuangzhuang. It turned out that he was like this when he came back from the county that day.

What did they do that day?

Oh yes, Xiaoguo remembered. Could it be that he was dissatisfied because he did not let Zhuangzhuang continue to stay with Qin Anming and came back early?

That's impossible. Zhuangzhuang is definitely not that kind of child.

Xiaoguo directly denied this idea. Let alone anything else, just this one thing about Zhuangzhuang, it was definitely true that he loved her. Although he liked her uncle very much, she definitely came first. She was very sure of this.

What would that be?

Xiaoguo stopped cutting the leeks and just stared blankly at the knife. Zhuangzhuang came over at this time and said to Xiaoguo as soon as he came in, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Xiaoguo's hand trembled, which scared her and she almost cut her hand with the knife. Seeing this, Zhuangzhuang hurried over, grabbed Xiaoguo's hand to check, and felt even more regretful in his heart, wondering why he suddenly made a sound and scared his mother.

Xiaoguo comforted Zhuangzhuang, "It's okay, Zhuangzhuang, look at mother's hand, there's nothing wrong, it's okay."

Zhuangzhuang was relieved only after he carefully checked himself to make sure there was no bleeding.

Xiaoguo's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. He just wanted to cook quickly because Zhuangzhuang was hungry.

"Zhuangzhuang, beat the eggs, we'll eat leek and egg dumplings."

Xiaoguo quickened the pace of cutting the leeks and told Zhuangzhuang to beat the eggs. Zhuangzhuang looked calm and just nodded obediently.

Xiao Guo was getting ready to rest at night. She had just coaxed Zhuang Zhuang to sleep, blew out the candles, and lay down on the pillow when suddenly her mind became clear and she remembered something!

Xiaoguo turned to look at Zhuangzhuang's sleeping face and felt a little uncomfortable. Is this really the case?

When he stopped at a billboard in the county to read the notice, Zhuangzhuang recognized the words on it. From then on, Zhuangzhuang looked worried.

Xiaoguo thought about the details carefully. When the first notice was posted, Zhuangzhuang was fine and was even chatting and laughing with Xiaoguo. But when the second notice was posted, Zhuangzhuang seemed to have stopped talking.

The second letter was about ordinary civilians in the military camp being allowed to return home. Did Zhuangzhuang think of his father whom he had never met?

With this explanation, it becomes clear why he is so depressed.

But what should she do? Xiaoguo really didn't know how to solve this problem. Zhuangzhuang missed his father, so where could she find a father for him?

Looking at the rosy, fair and tender little face, Xiaoguo suffered from insomnia, which was a rare occurrence for him. He tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. It was not until dawn that Xiaoguo closed his eyes.

But she was soon awakened by the noise coming from outside. Xiaoguo sat up abruptly, her brain went blank and everything in front of her eyes went dark. She was so scared that she quickly lay down and closed her eyes to rest.

Oh my, this is terrible. She almost passed out from the dizziness. It seems that she can’t make big movements when getting up and must get up slowly.

As Xiaoguo closed her eyes and rested, the noise outside seemed to increase. Xiaoguo listened carefully, but could not hear clearly. She could only hear the faint sound of crying occasionally.

Xiaoguo got up, put on his clothes, and went out alone to see what was going on without waking up Zhuangzhuang.

After opening the door of the inner room and coming to the yard, the crying sound outside seemed to be clearer, accompanied by unclear voices. Xiaoguo walked towards the door with a frown. What happened?

I just opened the door and walked towards the source of the sound. I passed by Mrs. Yang's door and met her coming out of the house. It was obvious that she was also woken up by the sound and came out to check the situation.

"sister in law."

Mrs. Yang sighed and followed Xiaoguo towards that direction.

Along the way, the two of them were guessing the reason. When they arrived, they saw several men who had returned together standing in front of each house, and the one who was crying was the woman who opened the door and waited for them to come back.

Seeing the man she had been thinking about day and night, the woman had tears on her face, but she couldn't stop smiling. Even the child next to her happily nestled in her father's arms.

Xiaoguo knew the reason at a glance. It turned out that a man was returning home together. Xiaoguo thought they were a group of people coming back together, but it turned out that they were coming back by themselves.

Xiaoguo didn't feel anything, but when Mrs. Yang saw this scene, she was so excited that she almost cried. She looked hard into the crowd, trying to find her man.

Xiaoguo was thinking about Zhuangzhuang, and when he saw that Mrs. Yang was still standing there and had no intention of leaving, Xiaoguo could only say something to her first.

On the way back, the women in the village ran out of their homes one after another, running towards the village entrance in two or three steps. Since a man had returned, their own men must be coming soon.

Many people dressed up beautifully and ran to the village entrance to stand and wait.

Among them is Li Zhaodi, who has not appeared for a long time. Her anger has only subsided in recent days, and fortunately she recovered before her man returned home.

At this time, she was wearing her new clothes, combed her hair for a rare occasion, and put some powder on her face.

When she passed by Xiaoguo, she glared at her, but did not stop to say anything else because she was in a hurry to go to the village entrance and had no time to pay attention to Qin Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo looked at her in confusion. Why did the style of Li Zhaodi's clothes look so familiar?

I looked down at myself and saw that it was the same style as my own clothes.

There were also scholars in ancient times who were good at...

Xiaoguo shook his head helplessly and walked towards home.

When I got home, Zhuangzhuang had just woken up. His two big eyes were rolling around and he happened to meet the eyes of Xiaoguo who had just walked in.

"Mom, why is it so noisy outside?"

Zhuangzhuang stood up and leaned against the bedpost. Xiaoguo walked over, thinking about what to say.

"Some of the men who were serving in the army outside have returned."

Xiaoguo said this and Zhuangzhuang nodded, without any surprise in his eyes.

Xiaoguo's eyes sank. As expected, Zhuangzhuang recognized the words on the notice, otherwise he would not be so calm.

What happened in the morning had little impact on Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang, mother and son. They continued to eat and drink as usual.

Zhuangzhuang seemed to have forgotten about this incident and returned to his normal state, continuing to laugh and joke with Xiaoguo.

Seeing him like this, Xiaoguo looked unconcerned but was actually extremely worried.

Zhuangzhuang was definitely not as calm as he appeared on the outside, but the helpless thing was that he couldn't solve the problem.

When he is tired, she can give him a massage; when he is hungry, she can cook for him; when he misses his dad, Xiaoguo really has no other choice.

I don’t know why Zhuangzhuang is so sensitive about his father. He must be longing for father’s love in his heart, and father’s love can never be replaced by mother’s love.

Xiaoguo was really at a loss at the moment. Zhuangzhuang would definitely not tell her the answer on his own initiative, and she would not get any answer even if she asked.

But looking at Zhuangzhuang who is so small, I feel worried and really bad.

"Strong."

"Mom, I'll go see if there are any eggs."

Before Xiaoguo could say anything, Zhuangzhuang interrupted her.

After saying that, Zhuangzhuang ran out. Xiaoguo sat alone on the bed, looking at Zhuangzhuang's little figure. Sigh, this is an unsolvable problem...
