Zhuangzhuang studied it carefully and found that except for a small piece that was not bulging, the rest was the same. It looked pretty good, but...

“Flowers don’t have a fixed shape, but because each flower is different, it has a unique beauty.”

Seeing Zhuangzhuang's half-understanding, Xiaoguo asked again, "You played outside for a long time when making a snowman. Did you notice anything different about the snow?"

"Snow?" Zhuangzhuang racked his brains and finally shook his head. "What's different about snow? Isn't it all cold and white?"

"Of course not." Xiao Guo shook her head, then stood up and walked to the closet, opened it and took out a piece of pure black cloth, "Come over here."

Zhuangzhuang walked towards her in confusion, took the black cloth handed to him, and looked up at Xiaoguo in confusion.

"Take it out, stretch the cloth and catch the snowflakes, and study carefully to see what the difference is."

Zhuangzhuang obeyed Xiaoguo's words. After listening, he immediately came to the yard with the cloth and stretched it out.

Xiaoguo opened the curtain and looked at him through the gap.

At first, Zhuangzhuang didn't think there was anything different about the snow. When the snowflakes fell on the black cloth, he did as Xiaoguo said and looked closely. It was not a big deal to take a closer look, but he actually found the difference in the snow. He ran to Xiaoguo anxiously to let her see. However, as soon as he entered the house, the snowflakes were melted by the room temperature and turned into just a small piece of wet.

"Mom, they are really different."

Zhuangzhuang felt as if a new world had been opened up to him. Before this, he really didn't know that all snowflakes were actually different. When he saw them with his own eyes, his desire to explore was instantly aroused.

"There are no two snowflakes alike in the world. Each snowflake is unique, but look how beautiful they are when they blend together and become a vast expanse of white."

"Yes! Very beautiful!" Zhuangzhuang agreed with Xiaoguo. In fact, they don't have to be exactly the same. On the contrary, it is the differences that are often unique.

Xiaoguo touched his head and praised him as a good boy.

When stacking the flowers later, Zhuangzhuang does not have to require them to be exactly the same. Instead, he lets it be natural and does not care too much even if there is a little dent.

Xiaoguo was quite satisfied with the result. Some time ago, she noticed that Zhuangzhuang was a bit of a perfectionist. This was a good opportunity for her to have a good talk with him. After all, a flower with one petal missing is still called a flower.

The colored paper Xiaoguo bought was not pre-cut, but was specially cut from a large sheet of paper into the size she wanted, because she needed a larger sheet of paper so that the stacked flowers would be larger. When all the flowers were connected together, it would look like lace, and it would be beautiful and eye-catching when hung in the room.

Xiaoguo took inventory and stopped when she found that it was almost enough.

"Mom, aren't you going to continue stacking?"

Zhuangzhuang pointed at the few remaining sheets of red paper and asked.

"Don't stack that one. Save it for mom to write."

Xiaoguo looked at the red papers on the table and asked Zhuangzhuang to count how many sheets were left.

"There are eight left."

Xiaoguo nodded. Eight sheets, six for writing, and two left...

"Mom, what are we going to do next?"

Zhuangzhuang's hands were itching and he wanted to do something.

"Hmm..." Xiao Guo thought about it and didn't want to do anything else. "Why don't we have dinner? We have more to do in the afternoon."

Zhuangzhuang nodded and said, "Enjoy the meal!"

"Let's go and cook!" Xiaoguo called Zhuangzhuang to go to the kitchen together, and did not forget to watch him wash his hands.

After dinner, Xiaoguo wanted Zhuangzhuang to take a nap. It is said that naps help people grow taller. She wanted Zhuangzhuang to grow taller. But Zhuangzhuang refused to sleep no matter what, which left Xiaoguo with no choice.

"Zhuangzhuang, take a nap."

"No, I won't sleep. As soon as I fall asleep, mom will have to work alone." Zhuangzhuang put his hands on his waist and straightened his back.

"Mom doesn't work." Xiaoguo smiled, trying to fool Zhuangzhuang.

"Then why doesn't mom sleep together?" Zhuangzhuang wouldn't be fooled.

"How long does mother have left to live..." Xiaoguo spoke the truth subconsciously, but it was too late to shut up.

Zhuangzhuang looked at Xiaoguo with an I-know-what look.

Knowing that he was wrong, Xiao Guo sighed, "If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep."

Anyway, since he has Jiang Shanhe's genes, Zhuangzhuang won't be that short. Besides, his height is fine. So according to his genes, Zhuangzhuang's tentative height is stable. So if he doesn't want to sleep, then he won't sleep. He'll make up for it tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Xiao Guo felt relieved. "Okay, take a rest. After dinner, follow mom to the kitchen to prepare food."

"Okay~"

What bad intentions could Xiao Zhuangzhuang have? He just wanted to follow his mother closely.

–

"Mom, what should we do first?"

Zhuangzhuang stood beside Xiaoguo, wearing a specially made apron, looking very serious, as if he was going to show off his skills.

“…………”

"You want to come?" Xiaoguo glanced up and down at Zhuangzhuang. If someone didn't know, they would think that Zhuangzhuang wanted some side dishes.

"Hehe." After hearing this, Zhuangzhuang got down embarrassedly and moved his small stool further away to make room for her, "You come."

Xiaoguo shook his head. This silly boy looked more and more like Jiang Danhe. After identification, it was definitely their biological child.

"Then let's cut the vegetables first."

Xiaoguo looked at the neatly arranged vegetables. Not only did they look good, but they also made her happy when cooking. Although she lived in ancient times, she always followed the mood of life. This was not abandoned in the end times, and even more so in ancient times.

"Then I'll wash the vegetables!"

Zhuangzhuang volunteered, saying that the woman would not be able to hold the knife accurately when cutting vegetables, and he did not know how to cut vegetables, so he would take care of washing the vegetables. He was very good at washing and rinsing.

Xiaoguo took a large basin and put all the vegetables in it. Then he poured hot water and mixed it with cold water. He tested the water temperature and let him wash it after he felt it was okay. "Go ahead and wash it."

Zhuangzhuang stood obediently aside, watching Xiaoguo busying around, and only started washing the vegetables after getting Xiaoguo's consent.

He is still young now, and his mother is right, there are many things that he cannot accomplish by being brave. If it were before, he would definitely try to be brave, but now he understands that now he can only do small things within his ability to help his mother, and when he grows up quickly, he can take on everything and not let his mother work hard anymore.

The little Zhuangzhuang has such lofty aspirations. If Xiaoguo knew about this, he would definitely be moved to tears.

While Zhuangzhuang was washing the vegetables, Xiaoguo sharpened her knife to prepare for cutting meat. She cut a large piece of pork according to the amount of meat required for the menu in her mind.

According to the invitation, Qin Anming should be back at noon. I don't know whether Ruyi and the others will come with him. After all, the business in the store is very busy and they probably can't all come.

Xiaoguo hesitated for a while and decided to prepare meals for them as well. If they couldn't make it, it wouldn't hurt to make a little more.

For lunch, I had noodles, stir-fried leeks and egg salsa, and shredded cabbage and pork salsa. I also had four-happiness meatballs, braised pork, stir-fried mushrooms and rapeseed, and spicy stewed chicken.

After counting, six dishes are just right.

Xiaoguo put down the kitchen knife, put all the cut side dishes into a plate, covered it with gauze, and left it standing in this weather overnight so that they wouldn't go bad. She could just fry them in the pan tomorrow. How convenient.

"Mom, what else are we going to do?"

Zhuangzhuang was helping Xiaoguo massage her back. Just then, when her mother straightened up, her waist cracked. She must have been tired.

"That's all the food, but I still have one more thing I haven't prepared."

Zhuangzhuang stopped and hugged Xiaoguo, blinking his big eyes and asking curiously, "What is it?"

Xiaoguo smiled mysteriously and touched Zhuangzhuang's little face. It was still as chewy as before. But how could she tell Zhuangzhuang about such a small surprise?

"I won't tell you."
