Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe were still completely unaware of what was happening at home.

When he arrived at the county town, Jiang Shanhe did not go to the noodle shop, but went to a wine shop. He told Xiaoguo to wait for him, and then he went in.

Xiaoguo nodded. Even though he didn't say it, she could guess it.

Jiang Shanhe soon brought a jar of Ernrhong. According to the local custom, giving wine to a business at the opening ceremony symbolizes a long and prosperous business.

Xiaoguo held the wine altar while Jiang Shanhe drove the donkey cart steadily to the noodle shop.

This was the first time the two had seen the newly renovated noodle shop. The store entrance was bigger, and looking inside from the outside, they discovered that the inside was more than twice as big.

The two looked at each other and were very interested, so Jiang Shanhe quickly tied the donkey cart, helped Xiaoguo get off, and walked in holding the altar in one hand and holding Xiaoguo in the other.

Ruyi was wearing new clothes and had a happy look on her face. There were calligraphy and paintings posted in the lobby, and everyone had a happy face.

Even Zhuangzhuang was wearing red clothes and following Qin Anming, holding a brush and writing something.

"Sister Xiaoguo, brother-in-law, you are here!"

Ruyi saw Xiaoguo and the other person first, put down the calligraphy and painting in her hands, and jumped over to them.

"Come on, Ruyi, the decoration in the store is very nice."

Xiaoguo raised an eyebrow at Ruyi in praise. Ruyi was indeed amazing when it came to decoration.

When Zhuangzhuang heard the voice, he immediately raised his head and looked around for the two people. His big eyes were filled with longing. As soon as he saw the two people, he immediately threw down his brush and rushed towards them.

Xiaoguo happily hugged Zhuangzhuang. They hadn't seen each other for a few days and missed him very much.

Wow!

Xiaoguo hugged Zhuangzhuang with great effort. I wonder if this boy is a little overweight recently.

"Hey, we all came up with this together."

After hearing Xiaoguo's praise, Ruyi touched her head embarrassedly and said.

As soon as Xiaoguo came in, he looked at the decoration of the shop curiously. There was a big circular partition in the wall between the two shops. One side was malatang and the other side was medicinal food. The overall decoration style was wooden and elegant. As soon as he came in, it didn't look like a noodle shop, but more like a bookstore or a teahouse.

Jiang Shanhe looked around and handed the opening gifts to Ruyi with an admiring look, "Good luck with the opening."

"Thank you, brother-in-law, Sister Xiaoguo."

Ruyi accepted the gift, and Linglong, who was standing beside her, took it from her and put it away.

At this time, Qin Anming also hung the dried poems on the wall and said to Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe, "Take a look, what do you think?"

Jiang Shanhe thought it was Qin Anming's handwriting, so he admired it carefully and took the lead in flattering him, "Brother, your handwriting is very good. Every stroke and every hook is very rhythmic. The handwriting is like the person. The handwriting is so neat, not to mention your character."

Xiao Guo glanced at him quietly. How did he manage to not show a trace of compliment on his face? She was simply in awe. But then again, "Brother, your handwriting has improved."

Xiaoguo was not lying. She had seen Qin Anming's handwriting before, but it was not as beautiful as it is now. He has made great progress.

Qin Anming was confused by what he said. What did he write? "This is not written by me."

When Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe heard this, they were stunned. Wasn't it written by him?

"Mom and Dad, I'm not your brother. I'm your son."

Zhuangzhuang was in Xiaoguo's arms, looking at the two of them with a look of horror.

Is there anything you don’t understand after hearing this? This word was actually written by Zhuangzhuang.

Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe looked at each other and sighed. It turned out that they had made a big mistake. However, Zhuangzhuang's writing has made great progress recently. Compared with his previous immaturity, he is now more at ease.

“Hahahahahahaha.”

When the others heard this, they burst into laughter.

This little episode passed quickly, and Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe realized that the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the store were all written and painted by Zhuangzhuang stroke by stroke.

At first glance, it really looked like something done by a certain calligraphy and painting master. Ruyi also thought it was very good, so she hung it on the wall of the restaurant.

When the auspicious time was approaching, the county magistrate somehow heard that Jiang Shanhe was here, so he rushed here with his master, a large carriage and soldiers.

The convoy stopped at the gate, attracting the attention of the crowd, who came over curiously to see what was going on.

Seeing such a high-profile appearance, Xiaoguo had a bad feeling for some reason. No way...

Jiang Shanhe was also a little surprised at this moment. He looked down at Xiaoguo and saw her doubt, which further confirmed his belief in his heart.

"Oh, General, Madam, how are you?"

The words arrived before the people.

Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe looked at each other and sighed. It was really him.

Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, County Magistrate Liu walked in with a big belly, and his master followed behind him with a smile on his face, holding a gift box in his hand.

"…Liu County Magistrate."

"You still remember me?!" County Commander Liu covered his heart with an expression of disbelief and excitement. "General, I am so touched. It is a great honor to be able to get to know you..."

County Magistrate Liu kept talking nonstop. Ruyi and his companions were shocked when they first saw County Magistrate Liu. They had no idea what the official had come for, but when they saw how familiar he was with Xiaoguo Jiang Shanhe, they all felt relieved.

The group's thoughts turned over and over again, and finally County Magistrate Liu finished speaking.

"Liu County Magistrate." Xiao Guo saw that he was about to start a show again, so she quickly interrupted him with a smile on her face, "Because of your arrival, our store is really prosperous."

"No, no, with you, the general and his wife, this is called honoring a humble man. How can I, a humble official, dare to accept such great praise."

County Magistrate Liu said this with a look of panic on his face.

Xiao Guo pretended to laugh a few times. She really didn't expect that after not seeing him for such a long time, County Magistrate Liu's skills had become much more profound. How did he manage not to blush or feel nervous?

Although County Magistrate Liu flattered Jiang Shanhe in every sentence, he was well prepared and had already found out the reason why Jiang Shanhe came here, so how could he come empty-handed?

"Bring the gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, the master with a smile behind him immediately handed the gift box to Ruyi. They had done their homework and he could recognize everyone here clearly.

Ruyi took the gift box carefully, feeling a little overwhelmed. She didn't know whether to take it or not. Holding the gift box was like holding a hot potato, not knowing whether to throw it away or keep it.

After handing it to Ruyi, the master looked at Jiang Shanhe with a smile on his face.

Jiang Shanhe, who had pretended to be deaf and dumb at first, was helpless now. He knew why County Magistrate Liu did this. He knew that he had come here with such a large force just to take advantage of him.

Well, all in all, it would be a good thing if this store could get the protection of the county magistrate.

"Thank you for your help. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best within my ability."

Jiang Shanhe did not say it absolutely, but emphasized the words "within the scope of one's ability", believing that County Magistrate Liu could understand it.

County Magistrate Liu was overjoyed to receive Jiang Shanhe's guarantee. He naturally understood the meaning of the words. Anyway, this was the guarantee he wanted that he would not do anything out of line.

He thanked him repeatedly and happily took the master to stay and ask for a good fortune together.

Xiaoguo didn't say anything. After hearing what Jiang Shanhe said, she turned around and looked at Ruyi who was feeling uncomfortable. Her eyes met hers, so she nodded at her, signaling her to accept it with peace of mind.

After seeing this, Ruyi finally felt relieved and was happy as long as she could get it.
