Soon, there was no more work for the two to do in the house. After all, the space in the house was limited, not to mention that they had been in the house all morning, so they just rushed out to feed the chickens, ducks, dogs, cows and donkeys. They easily completed the simple day's labor goal.

Xiao Guo was still stuck on the five ticks. At this moment, she was lying paralyzed on the bed and couldn't help thinking, if getting up and breathing could also be considered labor...

Zhuangzhuang came back from washing his hands and said to Xiaoguo who was still lying on the bed, "Mom, you haven't been visiting your uncle recently."

"Hmm..." Xiao Guo closed his eyes and answered lazily, "It's too cold."

Xiaoguo suddenly remembered that her mother said that she must have been reincarnated as a bear in her previous life, otherwise why would she hibernate in winter?

At first, she said she would send medicated food to Qin Anming, but after insisting a few times, she stopped doing so when the weather got cold. It has been almost a month since she last went to see them. Fortunately, Xiaoguo told them in advance when she went last time, otherwise Qin Anming would definitely be worried if he didn't see her for a long time. She even didn't go on payday at the end of each month. She could only let Ruyi hold the food or give it to Qin Anming.

When the weather gets cold, the small fruits wilt. This has never changed, either before or now.

"Mom, someone's knocking on the door."

Zhuangzhuang was standing by the window and opened the curtain when he heard the noise.

Xiaoguo sat up quickly, put on his clothes, and went to open the door carefully.

"Who?"

Xiaoguo asked while knocking on the door.

"Is this Mrs. Jiang's house?"

As soon as the door opened, a man dressed as an official stepped back. After Xiao Guo's confirmation, he introduced himself, "I was sent by County Magistrate Liu to deliver something to you."

As he said this, he pointed to the charcoal on the carriage behind him.

When Xiaoguo saw the truckload of charcoal, his eyes widened. Was it sent by County Magistrate Liu?!

"There is another package that I have to give to you."

After checking the charcoal, the official handed another bundle to Xiao Guo, "Look, where should I unload it for you?"

"Did Magistrate Liu say anything?"

After hearing this, Xiaoguo did not let him rush to unload the truck, but asked doubtfully, saying that he could not accept anything that was not clear, not even charcoal.

"County Magistrate Liu didn't say anything. He just told his subordinates to tell you to keep it with confidence. If you don't understand anything, just open the bag and you will understand."

The officer spoke responsibly, and Xiaoguo couldn't bear to delay them any longer in the middle of winter, so he quickly made way for them and pointed to the kitchen, telling them to unload the goods there.

Several people pulled the carriage into the yard, and then several people worked to unload the carriage full of charcoal at the place Xiaoguo pointed.

After completing the mission, several people took their leave.

After Xiaoguo sent the guests away, she closed the door and ran back into the house. She was very curious about what was in the bundle. It was inconvenient for her to open it just now, but now that he had left, she couldn't wait.

He had been looking at Zhuangzhuang outside the window. As soon as he saw Xiaoguo come in, he hurried over. He was also very curious.

As the bundle was opened, the first thing that came into view was two leather cloaks, one large and one small.

For some reason, Xiaoguo suddenly had a familiar feeling. He tried hard to suppress his excitement and continued to flip through the pages. Next he found a banknote.

This was the first time she had seen a banknote since she came here.

Xiaoguo opened the banknote and found that the face value was one hundred taels. He took a deep breath and continued to search underneath. Following the banknote was a letter.

Xiaoguo nervously opened the envelope. Suddenly, she had an idea that she seemed to know who the letter was from.

As soon as it was opened, the strong and powerful handwriting revealed who the owner was. Xiaoguo couldn't help but smile. It was really him.

"My wife has received the letter..."

Seeing the beginning, Xiaoguo pursed her lips in disdain, wondering why it was so pretentious.

"It should be December when you see this letter. I arrived in Beijing safely on the 18th of last month. How have you been recently? Although I was away for a short time, I miss you already..."

The 18th of last month? Arrived later than expected, and seeing from behind, Xiaoguo avoided Zhuangzhuang who was approaching, got up and sat on the bed, blushing, shyly thinking, I miss you too...

"This time, I have asked someone to bring back most of the charcoal that was allocated to the mansion for the winter to you. Don't worry, because there are not so many people in the mansion. The court allocated it according to the official position. I have kept the necessary ones in the mansion, and there is even more than enough..."

Silly, but he still knows how to explain, Xiaoguo thought sweetly, he must know that I am afraid of the cold...

"Among them is the money that should have been distributed to my family during my exile and the period when I faked my death. Due to the reasons of some individual officials, the money had problems in the middle of the delivery, so it was not sent to my family in time. Now that the facts have been found out, I have exchanged all the money into banknotes for your convenience..."

So the reason why the money was not delivered on time was because of a traitor? Xiao Guo thought in shock, so that was the case, and then pushed away Zhuang Zhuang who kept approaching, sat down at the table, and continued to read the letter...

"There are also two leather capes that I carefully selected. The capital has released new winter styles. Li Shouji told me about this, so I went to take a look and carefully selected three pieces. One for you, one for me, and one for Zhuangzhuang. The colors and styles of these three pieces are the same. Is this what you call parent-child wear?"

When Xiaoguo saw this, she suddenly thought of the days in Beijing. At that time, the three of them went out for fun together. On the way, they met a family wearing the same colors. She just casually mentioned parent-child outfits. She didn't expect that he still remembered it after so long. Xiaoguo chuckled and continued watching.

"The most important thing is the letter you are reading. It carries my thoughts for you, my fatherly love for you, and my true love for you. I think of you every day, every night, and every moment..."

Xiaoguo smiled shyly, it was so cheesy, this wimpy kid, he didn't say it when we met, but his letter was so cheesy...

"When the spring breeze blows for ten miles, it will be the time for you and me to be reunited."

Xiaoguo silently read the last sentence several times, "Spring, please come soon, I can't wait..."

Zhuangzhuang had been pushed away by Xiaoguo countless times. He was still unhappy the last time. He snorted and sat down on the stool. "If my mother doesn't let me watch, I won't watch it. I won't watch it even if you beg me!"

She turned her head away, looking angry. It was hard for Xiaoguo not to see it. She was not in a hurry. She slowly folded the letter and said with regret, "It's Jiang Shanhe's letter..."

"From Dad?!" Zhuangzhuang perked up when he heard it. It turned out to be a letter from his father. "Mom, I want to see it, I want to see it!"

Xiaoguo was in a good mood and actually imitated Zhuangzhuang Ganggang's behavior. He turned his head and hummed. He also deliberately imitated Zhuangzhuang Ganggang's behavior, breathing heavily, as if he was very angry and couldn't be appeased.

"Um~ Mom~" After all this operation, Zhuangzhuang's face turned red and he kept saying that he was embarrassed and shy.

"Okay, okay, I'll show you."

Xiaoguo handed the letter to Zhuangzhuang. Although the letter contained many words from Jiang Shanhe expressing his love for her, it didn't matter if Zhuangzhuang saw it.

Sure enough, when Zhuangzhuang saw the sour words in the letter, he looked at Xiaoguo embarrassedly and said, "Dad is really..."

The rest of the words were not spoken because Zhuangzhuang suddenly felt that his mother seemed to like the tone of his father.

If you don't like it, then why do you look like you're going to faint from laughing, with the corners of your mouth almost reaching your cheekbones...

Xiao Zhuangzhuang said that the adult world is too complicated and he doesn’t understand it.

After reading the letter, Zhuangzhuang was really unhappy. Why did his father mention him so little, and every ten sentences had to include a sentence to express his love for his mother. So this was not a family letter, but a love letter from his father to his mother? ?
