"How could Xiaoguo mind this?"
Qin Anming tied up the carriage, came up to the two of them and spoke softly.
"That's right." Xiaoguo held Ruyi's hand and clapped it happily a few times, "Of course I understand. I'm so happy that you can come."
Ruyi's arrival really gave Xiaoguo many unexpected surprises. After all, more people means more fun, and Zhuangzhuang is also happier.
"Stop talking and come inside." Xiaoguo held Ruyidong's icy hand and urged her to go inside to warm up.
Qin Anming was walking behind, and when he saw Xiaoguo was about to enter the house, he immediately stopped her.
"What are you doing?" Xiaoguo put down the curtain and looked at the strange Qin Anming.
Qin Anming said nothing. He just shook his cloak and looked at her with a cocky look on his face, half smiling.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Guo stared at him, speechless. What on earth was he trying to do?
"Stained." Qin Anming took two steps back and showed her something.
Seeing that she still didn't understand, Qin Anming sighed. How could Xiaoguo, who was usually very sensible, be so dull now?
Seeing that he was still unhappy, Xiaoguo was even more confused. Could it be that he was changing his attitude in such a cold weather just to please her?
Qin Anming stood a little further away, put his hands on his hips, and signaled her with his eyes, "Look at me, look at me."
"Oh~" Qin Anming has already hinted at this point, it would be too much for Xiaoguo to not understand it, "Brother, you look more energetic in this outfit!"
"Isn't it?" Qin Anming shook his cloak happily, "I think so too."
He was covered in new clothes given by Xiaoguo, but he was reluctant to wear them. Today was the first time he wore them.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiaoguo pulled the silly Qin Anming into the house. She didn't want to chat with him outside.
Ruyi, who came in first, was struck by the decorations at first sight. Although they were not very gorgeous, they were novel. She had never seen such lovely birthday decorations before.
After the tour, I saw Xiaoguo and his friend who had just come in. When I saw Qin Anming following behind them, I guessed what had delayed them outside.
"Brother An Ming is asking about his clothes again."
Ruyi said with a determined look on her face.
"That's right." Xiao Guo raised his eyebrows and nodded. He understood what she meant, "Did he ask in the store as well?"
Ruyi nodded silently, looking helpless, "I asked everyone once."
Xiaoguo felt ashamed after hearing this. Qin Anming was too naive. It was true that men remain naive until death.
While the two were talking, Qin Anming had already gone to the inner room to find Zhuangzhuang, so he didn't know that the two women outside were discussing him.
During lunch, Xiaoguo brought out the cake and lit the candles. After Zhuangzhuang made a wish and blew out the candles, everyone handed over gifts to Zhuangzhuang. Even Xiaohua and Xiaohu prepared gifts for Zhuangzhuang.
Zhuangzhuang happily put away the gift, thanked politely, and then looked at Xiaoguo, "Mom, where is your gift?"
After hearing this, everyone looked at Xiaoguo.
"I'll give you my mother's gift tonight."
I won’t take out the small fruit now, but will give it to him in the evening.
It sounds very mysterious and Zhuangzhuang is very happy. He likes mysteries the most.
The food on the table was hot and fragrant. The few people ate everything up, leaving only some noodles. They took some small fruits out of the pot and put them in the bowl. There was not much, so they gave them to the puppies.
After dinner, Xiaohua and Xiaohu played for a while before going home. Zhuangzhuang went to see them off, while Xiaoguo, Ruyi and Qin Anming stayed by the stove and chatted.
Ruyi looked at the uniquely shaped stove on the corner with curiosity. She had never seen this object before. After asking, she found out what it was and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Sister Xiaoguo, your stove is really convenient, and it makes the room warm. I almost sweated when I came in."
Ruyi's hands and feet also become cold in winter, and she can't leave the hand warmer in her hands. Moreover, the brazier she puts in the room is not very hot, and she has to open the window for ventilation, but the heat is not strong enough to go out. She is worried when winter comes.
"That's easy." Xiao Guo went to the closet and rummaged around, and soon handed over a piece of paper. "This is a diagram of the stove. Just take it to the iron shop and make one."
Ruyi took it with emotion and said happily, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoguo!"
Qin Anming took it curiously and looked at it carefully. This thing called a stove was the first time he had seen it. He didn't expect such a small thing could have such a high temperature.
"It's no big deal, no thanks."
Xiaoguo waved her hand nonchalantly. In fact, she was a little worried about Qin Anming's health when his temperature dropped. She didn't know if he was cold or not, and she was afraid that the root of his illness would recur. If Ruyi lit the stove now, Qin Anming could also light one at the same time, thus achieving the best of both worlds.
After Zhuangzhuang came back, the few of them sat and played for a while before the two of them prepared to go back. There was still a lot of work to do in the store, and Xiaoguo didn't want to keep them. Besides, when the sun went down and the road froze again, the carriage would slip and become even more difficult to drive. It would be better for them to go back early so that she could feel at ease.
Zhuangzhuang was in a good mood the whole day because his happy face was rosy, which contrasted with his pale body and made him look very funny and cute. When he saw the two people were about to leave, he followed them to the door and waved goodbye vigorously.
"Uncle, goodbye Sister Ruyi! Be careful on the road!"
"Okay, bye~"
Ruyi opened the curtain and waved to Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoguo.
Qin Anming got out of the car and kissed the chubby little face. He really couldn't bear to leave the little fat ball, but he had to go no matter how reluctant he was. "Be good and listen to your mother. Your uncle will come to see you in a few days."
"Yeah! Okay!" Zhuangzhuang squinted his eyes, looking happy.
Qin Anming nodded, stood up and looked at Xiaoguo, with a gentle face, "Let's go."
"Let's go, go back slowly."
Xiaoguo smiled and nodded.
After watching the carriage disappear from sight, the mother and son returned home.
On the way, Ruyi nestled comfortably in the carriage, wrapped tightly in her robe, and said to Qin Anming outside, "Zhuangzhuang is really sensible. The little guy even remembers to let us be careful on the road."
Qin Anming smiled when he heard this, and said lovingly, "Zhuangzhuang has always been sensible, but now he is even more sensible."
"That's right." Ruyi lifted the curtain and looked at his foolish appearance, saying with disdain, "Zhuangzhuang will always be sensible, no matter before, now or in the future, okay?"
Qin Anming didn't even turn his head, but shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just the facts."
"Haha, come on, you're really unbearable."
Ruyi laughed out loud, Brother Anming was really perverted.
Qin Anming also smiled happily.
The carriage drove out of the village normally, but happened to pass by a team of horse-drawn carriages at the entrance.
Ruyi happened to see him, and after the carriages were far away, she asked him, "Brother Anming, do you look familiar with those carriages?"
Qin Anming looked in the direction she pointed, but only saw the rear of the carriage, not the entire body, so he could only shake his head and said, "I don't know."
"If I'm not mistaken, all the carriages that came to our restaurant for dinner this morning were of this type."
"The streets are full of carriages like this, it's not surprising." Qin Anming disagreed. After all, all the carriages were decorated like this, so how could you tell the difference?
"They are different." Ruyi was very sure, "The carriages that the people who came to eat this morning had a special symbol on them. Ordinary carriages didn't have it, but the carriage that just passed by had it."
"Am I seeing things?" Qin Anming was somewhat puzzled. After all, he only took a quick glance. Was it possible that his eyes were blurry?
"Of course it is! It is the same carriage!"
