When Zhuangzhuang heard what Xiaoguo said, he came over and sat on Jiang Danhe's lap and watched.

"How is it?"

Jiang Shanhe went to buy it this morning. It was his first time buying this and he didn't know much about it, so he listened to the seller's introduction and bought the whole set.

Xiao Guo nodded, "Not bad, but you don't need to buy so much."

As he spoke, he took out a pile of shoe soles, as well as countless pieces of cloth and needles and threads.

"I will only wear shoes made by you from now on."

Jiang Shanhe had not originally planned to buy so much, but after listening to other people's recommendations, he did not stop and bought so much without realizing it.

Listening to Jiang Shanhe's words, Xiaoguo really thanked him. Didn't he want to let himself rest? There were so many things to sew. How long would it take him to finish sewing them without eating or drinking?

Perhaps because he saw Xiaoguo's silence, Jiang Shanhe forced himself to pull out half of the sole, looked at Xiaoguo's expression, and reluctantly pulled out a little more sole, "Why don't we just make these few pairs first."

Although it’s a little small, if I save it and wear it until next year, maybe it will be fine. “I’ll wear the rest next year.”

“That’s very thoughtful of you.”

Xiao Guopi said with a wry smile, it turned out that what he said about giving all his shoes to him was true, and it was not just a compliment!

"Nothing, as it should be."

Jiang Danhe couldn't hear the hidden meaning, and scratched his head embarrassedly. Guoer praised me, that's great.

If I let her sew a pair of shoes for me and she says I'm considerate, then will she love me even more if I let her buy all my clothes?

Xiaoguo was very grateful to Jiang Shanhe. Now she had to sew her shoes not only when she was riding in a carriage, but also when she was resting, after meals and before going to bed.

Because Xiaoguo's mind was all on sewing shoes, Zhuangzhuang's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all taken care of by his father Jiang Shanhe.

Jiang Shanhe finally understood. Xiaoguo had said before how strong Zhuangzhuang's curiosity was. He was asking how strong the curiosity was...

For example, this morning was another sunny day. The carriage had just left the inn and was rushing out of the city. On the way, it passed a brothel. Some men who stayed overnight were coming out of it with depressed looks. When Zhuangzhuang saw them, he pointed at those men with lip balm on their faces and asked Jiang Shanhe why they came out like this, what was this place, what were the red things on their faces and necks, and why were their clothes not properly dressed...

One question after another left Jiang Shanhe speechless. He could only managed to utter, "Ask your mother."

These words made Xiaoguo, who was eavesdropping, speechless. Even Zhuangzhuang stopped asking questions because Xiaoguo and his grandfather were working seriously and they didn't dare to mess with them.

Since then, whenever Zhuangzhuang asked some embarrassing questions, Jiang Shanhe would say, ask your mother.

This sentence always works. Zhuangzhuang won't continue to ask him questions, and Jiang Shanhe doesn't have to keep thinking about how to explain this problem to him tactfully.

Just like that, Jiang Danhe and Xiaoguo both thought that Zhuangzhuang had forgotten about the question after asking, so the matter was over. However, no one expected that Zhuangzhuang would give Xiaoguo a sudden blow not long after.

Zhuangzhuang is young, but has a good memory. He wrote down all the questions he asked that were not answered, and waited for Xiaoguo to be free to ask them all.

Little Zhuangzhuang looked at his father, then looked at his mother, and then looked at his tall father again. At this moment, he understood a truth even more clearly: his father was ignorant, but his mother was omniscient.

–

Time passed quickly, and after five days of bumpy ride, the group arrived in Fengcheng.

This means that Jiang Shanhe will also have to temporarily separate from the two of them.

"Dad, are you leaving soon?"

Zhuangzhuang let down the curtain and looked at Jiang Danhe who was looking at Xiaoguo.

"Yes." Jiang Shanhe retracted his gaze and said casually, "When Zhuangzhuang goes to school next year, Dad will be back."

"Really?"

When Zhuangzhuang heard the specific time, he was a little excited, but he still asked with half belief and half doubt.

"Of course!"

Jiang Shanhe rubbed his strong head with amusement, "Dad can still lie to you?"

"That won't happen." Zhuangzhuang shook his head. Jiang Shanhe really wouldn't lie to him.

"That's it."

Jiang Shanhe patted Zhuangzhuang's head, then turned around and looked at Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo hasn't said much since he learned that the next destination is Fengcheng.

"I'll be at the fork in a minute."

Jiang Shanhe pretended to be calm while speaking. Even though he was trembling with pain in his heart and didn't want to say goodbye, he couldn't show it.

Xiaoguo paused as she was wrapping his shoes, then pretended nothing had happened and nodded, "Time flies. Be careful when you get there."

Xiaoguo also tried to speak as little as possible at this moment, for she was afraid that her trembling voice would show.

She really hated separation.

"……Um."

After a while, Jiang Shanhe nodded.

He had a lot to say at this moment, but he didn't know where to start.

Although I don't want to say goodbye, time will not linger for individual emotions.

"Have you packed your things?"

Xiaoguo looked at Jiang Shanhe who was picking up the bag and couldn't help but speak.

"Yeah, I've got them all."

Jiang Shanhe carried a heavy bag on his shoulders. At this moment, the bag became a little heavier because of Xiaoguo.

During these days, Xiaoguo made six pairs of shoes by walking around, three pairs of thin and three pairs of thick.

To Jiang Shanhe, these were not just shoes, but Xiaoguo's love. How could such a burden of love not be heavy?

"Dad~"

"Good boy, do you remember the agreement between us? You must carry it out carefully when you go back. After you finish everything, Dad will go back."

Jiang Shanhe was talking to Zhuangzhuang in a mysterious code, and Xiaoguo was confused when she heard it.

"Okay! Let's go! That guy will come over soon and we'll be delayed."

Xiao Guo knew who Jiang Shanhe was talking about, and couldn't help laughing. Then he nodded and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Shanhe nodded and looked at Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang seriously, as if he wanted to remember the two of them firmly in his mind.

He climbed onto the horse and looked at the two of them again. The emotions surging in his eyes almost made Xiaoguo cry.

Jiang Shanhe took a serious look at Xiaoguo, nodded to her, and then pinched the horse's belly, "Fight!"

A team of horses galloped away, leaving only a cloud of dust.

Xiaoguo blushed slightly. It turned out that a man looks handsome only when he rides a horse.

"Oh, General General!"

County Commander Liu hurried over and almost ran into Jiang Shanhe, who was now breathing heavily.

His whole body was shaking, and Xiaoguo was afraid that he would pass out.

"Why did the general leave here? I said I would take him to the gate of Fengcheng." County Commander Liu slapped his thigh and said regretfully, "I still have a lot to say to him, ah~"

After hearing this, Xiaoguo almost laughed out loud. He had so many things to say to him? Fortunately, Jiang Shanhe had foresight and separated at the fork in the road, otherwise Jiang Shanhe would have been unable to leave easily.

Even so, Xiaoguo couldn't say that to him, so she changed the subject, "He's afraid of causing trouble to County Magistrate Liu, so that he doesn't have to go to Fengcheng and then take a detour back here. Now we can just go this way directly, which saves a lot of time."

When Xiaoguo said this, County Magistrate Liu shook his head and was deeply moved. "The general is really wise, foresighted, and very kind!"

Although they were not connected in any way, Xiaoguo still nodded, agreeing with what he said.

The two teams split up here, one heading west and the other heading east.

Xiaoguo opened the curtain and looked worriedly at the place where he had disappeared long ago. She prayed for him again in her heart, hoping that everything would go well and that he would be safe and healthy.
