Chapter 185: Frightened



A few pieces of clothing are easy to wash. All the clothes and sheets can be washed by just putting them on a rope.

After washing, Xiaoguo also went out to herd cattle, cut grass, feed donkeys, and pick up eggs. In short, he was busy all the time.

I don’t know why, but when I get home I don’t feel tired no matter how much work I do.

There was no work to do around, so Xiaoguo had to go back to the house.

When returning to the house, Xiaoguo went to see Qin Anming first. Because Xiaoguo was at home, Qin Anming slept particularly soundly, and faint snoring sounds could be heard.

Xiaoguo went to look at Zhuangzhuang again. The little guy was sleeping with the quilt between his legs and his saliva was almost flowing out.

Xiao Guo tiptoed over and gently closed his mouth.

It’s getting late now, and Mrs. Yang and her family should have finished their nap. I won’t disturb them if I go there now.

When Xiaoguo thinks of something, he wants to do it, otherwise he will feel uneasy and afraid that he will forget it again when he is busy, so he might as well take it now.

After checking to see if there was anything left behind, he carried them out.

When I got to the gate, I hesitated whether to lock the door. In the end, I didn't lock it. After a while, I came back by myself. It was too troublesome to lock it.

Xiao Guo decided not to stay any longer, so he did not lock the door but just closed it gently.

When Xiaoguo arrived at Yang Dasao's house, she happened to see Yang Jia going out.

"sister in law."

As soon as Yang Jia opened the door, he saw Xiaoguo about to knock on the door.

"Hey, is my sister-in-law home?"

Xiaoguo took a step back and asked.

“Yes, yes.”

Yang Jia opened the door and invited Xiaoguo in.

Xiao Guo followed Yang Jia into the house, thinking about how he was about to go out, so she asked, "Were you about to go out?"

Yang Jia heard this and nodded a little embarrassedly, "Zhuangzhuang told me this morning that he brought back a lot of new books, so I want to go and take a look..."

Yang Jia's face turned red as he spoke and he rubbed his ears. It was too embarrassing to just go into someone else's house and borrow books. But after hearing Zhuangzhuang say that many of those books could not be found on the market, he had the audacity to borrow them.

Xiaoguo smiled after hearing this. Yang Jia loves books so much, and most of the time when he goes out, he talks about books. "Let's go together later. Zhuangzhuang and the others are still asleep now."

After hearing this, Yang Jia nodded, responded, raised his hand and opened the curtain to let Xiaoguo in first.

"My brother told me that you were the one who helped him during his illness. I haven't thanked you properly yet." Xiao Guo leaned in slightly, saying, "Zhuangzhuang brought back a lot of books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstone this time. Go and see if there are any books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstone you need. If there are, just take them yourself."

When he was about to return, Jiang Shanhe specially prepared a lot of books for Zhuangzhuang. Books of all types, including those out of print on the market, were all obtained by Jiang Shanhe from the emperor. In other words, most of the books Jiang Shanhe gave to Zhuangzhuang were obtained from the emperor, including many new pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

What Jiang Shanhe meant was that it was a good thing for his son to love reading, and as a father he should fully cooperate.

Thanks to Jiang Shanhe's cooperation, Xiaoguo came back with a much heavier burden this time...

Yang Jia was stunned after hearing this, his face turned even redder, and he said incoherently, "Okay, thank you, thank you."

Xiao Guo shook her head in amusement, she had said something similar before, but Yang Jia was still very polite and knew his limits. It was really possible to get along with this kind of person.

When they entered the inner room, Mrs. Yang was sitting on the bed threading a needle. When she saw Xiaoguo, she hurriedly asked her to come over and sit down.

After seeing Xiaoguo enter the house, Yang Jia went out first.

Xiaoguo saw that Brother Yang was not in the room so she asked politely.

"Alas, he has not been home since this morning. A family in our village is building a new house, and he has been asked to help."

Mrs. Yang continued to thread the needle in her hand, but she couldn't get it threaded after a long time. "Oh! This thread is really no good."

As he said this, he threw the thread in his hand into the sewing basket.

"Ha ha."

Xiaoguo couldn't help but laugh, as the things he bought were being used.

"You're still laughing!"

Mrs. Yang was angry, and when she heard Xiaoguo laughing, she sighed loudly.

"Okay, okay, sister-in-law." Xiao Guo stopped laughing, took out the bag he brought with him, opened it, found it, and handed it to her, "Here, sister-in-law, this is for you. I'm laughing at this."

Mrs. Yang looked at what Xiaoguo was fiddling with and curiously leaned over to take a look. Unexpectedly, she was handed a large wooden box.

"Wow, this box is really exquisite, but it's too big. I can't fill it with jewelry in my lifetime."

After taking it, Mrs. Yang carefully touched the pattern on it. She only knew that jewelry boxes were so exquisite, so she guessed that it was a jewelry box.

The main reason was that apart from the girls in brothels, she had never seen anyone else use it. Generally, the girls in brothels used it to store silver jewellery.

Xiao Guo suppressed her smile and nodded at her, "Sister-in-law, take another look inside."

Mrs. Yang was confused. What was so good about the inside? It wasn't as exquisite as the outside. There were carved patterns on the outside, but what else could there be inside?

Mrs. Yang opened the box half-doubtfully. The moment she opened it, her eyes moved quickly, wanting to see everything inside. After a while, Mrs. Yang's face turned red with excitement, and she said in a high voice, "For me, the things in this box are more attractive than a box of gold, silver and jewelry!"

Xiaoguo covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She knew that Mrs. Yang liked this, and she had made the right purchase.

"You like it?"

Xiaoguo raised an eyebrow at Mrs. Yang, as if asking for compliments.

Mrs. Yang did not disappoint Xiaoguo. She hugged the box like a baby, touching it here and there lovingly, and said to Xiaoguo excitedly, "If I didn't have to hold this baby, I would kiss you!"

Xiao Guo found it funny to hear her say that, and said jokingly, "If you kiss me, will big brother be happy?"

"Go away, you are so unruly~"

When Mrs. Yang heard this, her face instantly turned red. She glanced at Xiaoguo and said, "How dare you tease me?"

Xiaoguo found it very amusing to see her like this. She was usually such a generous woman, but when she heard this, she instantly turned into a shy little woman.

Then, Xiaoguo took out the gifts for Xiaohua and Xiaohu and asked her sister-in-law to give them to them on her behalf.

Because the two children went together to the family who was building a new house, and today they were handing out candies on the beams, so the two children rushed to grab the candies.

Mrs. Yang took it and nodded, and thanked the two children, Xiaohua and Xiaohu.

Because she was worried about home, Xiaoguo quickly said goodbye to Mrs. Yang and planned to talk about it later. As for the fact that Jiang Shanhe was still alive, Xiaoguo had not told anyone yet. On the way back, she even reminded Zhuangzhuang not to say anything nonsense in case he scared someone again.

Mrs. Yang wanted to send Xiaoguo off, but Xiaoguo waved her hand and said it was just a matter of two steps, so why bother?

Mrs. Yang didn't pretend to be polite with Xiaoguo. When she heard what Xiaoguo said, she went back to the room and continued to study her new baby.

Xiaoguo smiled again when she saw her like that. She really liked this way of getting along with others. No one was polite and it was comfortable to be around them.

As soon as I went out, I saw Yang Jia standing in the yard. When he saw Xiaoguo appear, his eyes lit up.

Xiao Guo smiled. He must be impatient. "Let's go!"

When Yang Jia heard this, he immediately followed Xiao Guo out.

Mrs. Yang glanced out the window and saw their backs. She couldn't help but smile. These two people looked like siblings.

I had just come out and walked for a while when I saw a sneaky figure lying on my door from a distance.

Yang Jia had seen this kind of scene many times, and he couldn't help but feel scared when he saw it again. He subconsciously thought about turning around and running, but Xiaoguo was still here, and it would be too bad for him to run away, so he could only force himself to stand behind her.
