After returning home, I happened to run into Yang Jia who was standing at the door and preparing to leave.

"Brother Jia!"

Zhuangzhuang saw him first and waved at him from a distance.

Yang Jia also stopped, recognized Zhuangzhuang's voice, and waved to him.

"sister in law."

Yang Jia saw Xiao Guo and greeted her.

Xiaoguo smiled and nodded, looking at the book he was holding in his arms as if it were precious, and probably guessed why he came.

"Have you finished reading?"

Xiaoguo handed the key to Zhuangzhuang and asked him to open the door while she spoke to Yang Jia.

"Yeah, I've finished reading it, and I'm thinking of borrowing a few more..."

Yang Jia nodded awkwardly, and then spoke in a lower and lower voice, as if he had made an unreasonable request.

Xiaoguo smiled when she saw his expression, "Zhuangzhuang can't finish reading it anyway, so just read it without worry."

Yang Jia was touched by Xiaoguo's words. He didn't know what to say and could only keep saying thank you.

Xiao Guo stopped him from thanking her and said, "It's nothing. No need to thank me."

Zhuangzhuang also ran over at this time, handed the key to Xiaoguo, then took out the new book that Xiaoguo bought for him from the donkey cart, and said to Yang Jia, "Brother Jia, just read it with confidence. This is the new book my mother bought for you today, and I chose it myself. Come on, go in and see if there is anything you want to read!"

Zhuangzhuang said this and took Yang Jia inside.

Yang Jiadi was overwhelmed by Zhuangzhuang's enthusiasm. He nodded politely at Xiaoguo and followed Zhuangzhuang into the house.

Xiaoguo drove the car into the yard and tried to move the barrel by himself.

After trying for a long time, Xiaoguo only moved one step and had no choice but to rest.

Xiaoguo stood up straight and leaned against the wooden barrel. This barrel was heavier than he had imagined, and his slender waist was almost bent over.

At this time, Yang Jia came out of the house and said to Xiao Guo, "Let me carry it with you."

In fact, he had just seen it and guessed that Xiaoguo could not move the books by himself, so he went into the house, put the books down and came out.

Xiaoguo nodded. Fortunately, Yang Jia was there, otherwise it would be really difficult for her.

Yang Jia rolled up his sleeves and followed Xiao Guo, each lifting one side and counting down from three, two, one, they both lifted it up with a little effort.

Although Xiaoguo was not stable in lifting the chair, she saved a lot of energy with Yang Jia supporting her on the other side.

With Yang Jia's help, Xiao Guo successfully moved the wooden barrel into the newly built bathroom. After finding the right spot to put it down, Xiao Guo looked at it from beginning to end. It was just the right size, and he had estimated it correctly. It was simply perfect.

Xiaoguo took out the gifted small footstool from the car, went to the bathroom and placed it next to the bathtub. Xiaoguo took off his shoes and stepped on it to test the height.

Xiaoguo came down and put on his shoes, feeling very happy. The footstool was of just the right height, and he could step on it to get into the bathtub, and even Zhuangzhuang could step in easily.

It seems like I should bring Zhuangzhuang with me more often when I go out in the future, hahahaha~

Yang Jia helped Xiaoguo put down the bathtub and went back to the room. He was very anxious at the moment and wanted to read the book that Zhuangzhuang had just asked him to read. He just came out in a hurry and took a look at it.

Xiaoguo unloaded the donkey cart, picked up a handful of food and gave it to the donkey before returning to the house.

Xiaoguo did not disturb the two of them. She returned to her room alone and swept the dust and grass clippings off her body with a small homemade broom for bed use.

When he went out again after a while, Zhuangzhuang was just seeing Yang Jia off. As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhuangzhuang bumped into his own leg and almost fell on his butt.

"Ouch baby, slow down."

Xiaoguo caught the urgent Zhuangzhuang. How could this child be so reckless?

Zhuangzhuang stood up straight and stuck out his tongue at Xiaoguo embarrassedly, "I'm sorry~"

"It's okay. You must be more cautious next time. Got it?"

Xiaoguo rubbed Zhuangzhuang's hair. Zhuangzhuang has reached the age where he can act naughty and playful. It seems that she should pay more attention to him.

"Yeah, I got it, mom."

Zhuangzhuang was not unhappy at all. After hearing Xiaoguo's teachings, he gladly accepted them and expressed his agreement, saying that he would never do it again next time.

Xiaoguo was very happy that Zhuangzhuang thought so, so he took him to the kitchen to cook.

"Mom, you know what! Jia Ge has the same hobby as me. He even said that he was planning to go to school."

"Really?"

Xiaoguo was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Yang Jia was also preparing to go to school.

Zhuangzhuang nodded, and then kept talking to Xiaoguo about Yang Jia. It was a rare opportunity to meet someone who loved reading as much as he did, so he was very happy and wanted to drag him to read together.

Although Xiaoguo was cooking, she also listened to Zhuangzhuang carefully. She also knew why Zhuangzhuang was so excited.

None of the kids of the same age around him like reading, and Zhuangzhuang himself said that he felt he couldn't play with them. It's not rare to meet someone who is interested in all books like him. Even though there is a big age gap between them, Zhuangzhuang still likes talking to Yang Jia very much.

Xiaoguo was talking to Zhuangzhuang seriously and didn't just give him a perfunctory response because of cooking.

Fortunately, I have learned to multitask in the apocalypse, otherwise I would not be able to listen to Zhuangzhuang's endless chatter.

At the end of the world, although Xiaoguo was in a safe camp, there were zombies surrounding the camp all the time. No matter how safe he was, he could not relax. He had to stay focused and listen carefully to the sounds around him.

Otherwise, if you are cooking here and zombies attack from the other side, and you can't hear anything, you will be bitten to death.

"Okay, let's go eat."

Xiaoguo grabbed Zhuangzhuang who had been talking, handed the bowl and chopsticks to him, and went back to the house with the meal, with Zhuangzhuang following closely behind.

The next afternoon.

Xiaoguo placed the two pairs of shoes she had sewn on the table. The smaller one was sturdy and the bigger one was hers.

She called Zhuangzhuang and asked him to try them on to see if they fit her feet, and she also tried them on herself. After all, it was her first time making shoes, and this style of cloth shoes at that, so Xiaoguo was unsure.

Zhuangzhuang took the shoes, sat next to Xiaoguo, took off his shoes and put on new ones.

"Mom, how is it?"

Zhuangzhuang put on his shoes, stood on the ground, stamped his feet, and let Xiaoguo watch.

Xiaoguo bent down and pressed her strong thumb with her fingers to see if her foot was squeezed anywhere.

"Good! Good!"

Xiaoguo is relieved this time. I never thought that I could even make shoes! Genius, genius, genius!

"Mother? Mother!"

Zhuangzhuang continued to turn around and let Xiaoguo admire his little feet, but she just laughed and didn't say anything, so Zhuangzhuang called Xiaoguo louder.

“It looks good!”

Xiaoguo was startled back to his senses by Zhuangzhuang's voice and kept praising Zhuangzhuang. He wondered if it was an illusion, why was the one he made better looking than the one he bought? Hehe.

Xiaoguo also put on her own shoes and stepped on the ground. She didn't feel any discomfort, so she felt at ease making shoes for Qin Anming.

After all, Qin Anming is busy every day and his feet are always on the ground. If he doesn't do it well, the shoes will either be too big or too small, which will be a big problem for him.

But now it seems that with these two pairs of experience, it will be easy for me to do it myself next time.

Xiaoguo, whose confidence had increased greatly, took off her new shoes and began to look for cloth in the sewing basket. She did what she said and tried to give it to Qin Anming the day after tomorrow.
