Xiaoguo drove the carriage and just entered the village, he saw the villagers walking towards a place in groups.

Xiaoguo frowned and avoided them. What happened again? Could it be Li Zhaodi again?

The villagers didn't notice Xiaoguo at first, as they were all walking anxiously to watch the show. Then, no one knew who saw Xiaoguo first, but then everyone saw her.

Everyone stopped to make way for Xiaoguo's donkey cart to go first.

Xiaoguo looked at their strange expressions, somewhat confused, but when he saw them making way for him, he did not hesitate and continued to move forward.

A group of people were pointing fingers at Xiao Guo and whispering to each other. Xiao Guo did hear them, but because the voices were so soft, he couldn't hear them even if he tried hard, so he gave up. He didn't do anything, so he wasn't afraid of being criticized.

But gradually, Xiao Guo started to feel uneasy. Why were those people still following the donkey cart at a leisurely pace? Xiao Guo took a quick look and wondered if the chicken and duck meat on his cart was too conspicuous.

But Xiaoguo immediately denied it. If it was because of this, they would not just point at herself and Zhuangzhuang and talk about them.

Xiaoguo felt a little uncomfortable and silently quickened his pace.

But when the people behind saw Xiaoguo speeding up, they also sped up, as if they were afraid of falling behind.

Xiaoguo was even more confused. This was the direction of his home, so why were these people following him? He couldn't help but feel uneasy.

So, they held Zhuangzhuang tightly and continued to speed up. After all, two legs are no match for four legs, and Xiaoguo had some distance between them.

But soon, the frown that had just relaxed was wrinkled again. Why were there a bunch of people waiting at the door?

Xiao Guo squinted her eyes and looked hard. There were horses among them. She thought to herself, could it be that Su Changsheng came to transport the goods? But that shouldn't be the case. He said he would come the day after tomorrow.

Who could that be?

Xiaoguo was confused and could only continue walking towards that place. He didn't care about anything. He would not cause trouble, but he was not afraid of trouble either. He would just make the best of it and wait and see.

"Here I am, here I am."

A small voice was heard in the crowd, and then some of the people who had just gathered at the door immediately dispersed.

Xiaoguo frowned and stopped the donkey cart while watching the villagers watching the show.

A tall figure in the crowd stood with his back to Xiaoguo, and his hands were still fiddling with the door lock. Xiaoguo got angry when he saw it. It turned out that a group of people were watching a thief prying open the door lock of their own house. These boring people didn't even help him chase away the thief, but watched the show from the side. The whole village was watching together.

The dog in the yard was barking. At this moment, people were looking at Xiaoguo and the man curiously, and were whispering something.

Xiao Guo got out of the car and asked Zhuang Zhuang to look at the things in the car. Then she walked to three meters behind the man with great momentum. The closer she got, the more familiar the figure looked. However, she didn't think about it carefully. At this moment, she just felt extremely angry, so she mobilized her Qi in Dantian, "Hey!"

The man was startled by the sudden loud noise. The person he had been thinking about day and night was behind him, so he slowly turned around and said aggrievedly, "Guo, the door is locked, I can't get in."

!!!

"Why are you back?!"

Xiaoguo's eyes widened, and the anger just now disappeared in an instant, leaving only joy. She said why the figure just now was so familiar, it turned out to be Jiang Shanhe.

Zhuangzhuang, who was riding on the donkey cart, heard the sound, stood up, looked ahead across the crowd, and saw a familiar person at a glance, "Dad!"

"Hey, strong!"

Xiaoguo went to open the door, Jiang Shanhe went to drive the car, and the three of them ignored the curious villagers gathered around them.

The three of them were very happy at the moment, but they didn't want to be treated like monkeys, so they went home first and talked behind closed doors.

Jiang Danhe parked the donkey cart and finally had time to look around the yard which had undergone tremendous changes.

If the house hadn't changed, he would really wonder if this was his previous home.

The lush green vegetables in the vegetable garden, the spotted cows in the barn in the yard, the chickens, ducks, and puppies were things Jiang Shanhe had never seen at home. How should I put it? This place made him want to never leave.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

Xiao Guo closed the door at the back, blocking out those eyes that were watching the excitement, and reached out to pull Jiang Shanhe into the house. Zhuang Zhuang also jumped and followed behind, asking excitedly, "That's right, why is Dad back today?!"

Jiang Shanhe retracted his gaze, held her hand tightly, and glanced at Zhuangzhuang. "The matter in Fengcheng has been resolved. There is still time, so I came back to see you. I miss you."

The words were addressed to two people, but his eyes were looking at Xiaoguo, and it was obvious that there was another meaning behind his words.

"...Nonsense, we just broke up a few days ago."

Xiaoguo felt a little embarrassed and blushed. What was he saying in front of Zhuangzhuang? "Let go. I'll pour you some water."

Xiaoguo gestured to Jiang Shanhe's hand that was still being held, and Jiang Shanhe felt embarrassed and secretly pinched it before letting go.

Xiaoguo hurried to pour him some water, and Jiang Danhe let go of Xiaoguo. Only then did he have time to hug Zhuangzhuang, who had been begging for a hug early on.

"Oh, my dear son, you have gained a lot more weight."

Jiang Shanhe was holding her chubby, clean and fragrant son, feeling very satisfied. This baby was loved by everyone who held him.

"Haha, Dad's beard is so sticky."

Zhuangzhuang laughed and dodged Jiang Shanhe's kiss on his face, which was both itchy and prickly.

Jiang Shanhe rubbed his face when he heard this. He had neglected his image as he was hurrying back. He hesitated in his heart, thinking that he must be dark and dirty, and Xiaoguo would not dislike him.

"Drink some water."

"Okay." Jiang Shanhe picked up the water cup and drank it in big gulps. He was really thirsty. He didn't drink much water along the way and his body was already dehydrated.

Xiaoguo felt distressed when she saw his lips that were dry and chapped due to lack of water. He must have not gotten enough rest as he was in such a hurry.

Jiang Shanhe put down his water cup happily, and Xiaoguo poured him some more. "Drink a little first, we'll have dinner soon."

Jiang Shanhe nodded and touched his stomach. He was indeed hungry. If he had hurried, he would have arrived long ago. He did not expect that when he arrived, the door was locked.

"Have you been waiting at the door?"

Xiaoguo had the chance to ask after he quenched his thirst.

"I didn't wait long." Jiang Shanhe lied a little to avoid worrying Xiaoguo, "I just came back not long ago. I just waited for a while and you came back."

"Nonsense." Xiaoguo knew it was a lie at first glance.

"..." Jiang Shanhe shook his head helplessly, "Actually, I've been waiting for a while."

"Why don't you go to Sister Yang's house and ask, or take a rest?"

Xiaoguo was heartbroken. How come Jiang Shanhe's smart brain didn't work well at that time?

"..." Jiang Shanhe hesitated, as if he had done something bad, "Actually, I went, but Aunt Yang was frightened when she saw me."

...Mrs. Yang’s mother-in-law?

"I haven't told the people over there that you're still alive." Of course I'm not dizzy. I would think I saw a ghost in broad daylight.

Jiang Shanhe touched his cheek and said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't feel comfortable staying here, so I just came out and thought I could try to pry the door open myself, but..."

"You definitely can't pry it open. I asked a blacksmith to make it specially for me. There is only one of its kind in the world. It was very difficult to do." Xiaoguo was a little proud. As a woman with a child at home, she had to pay attention to safety.

"That's right, it's really amazing."

The two talked for a while, and Xiaoguo simply told Jiang Shanhe why he was not at home and what he had done.

"Guo, you are so amazing."

Jiang Shanhe couldn't help but praise him, saying that he had earned 150 taels so easily. "It seems that I will be supported by you in the future."

Jiang Shanhe said shamelessly, and Xiaoguo nodded, pretending to be a grandfather, "Just wait for me to raise you."

After saying this, the three of them burst into laughter.
