"How good-looking?" Xiaoguo was very curious about what he looked like in Zhuangzhuang's eyes.
Zhuangzhuang thought for a while, "Well... she is pretty, with big round eyes and fair skin, unlike other people. And she has dimples when she smiles, just like Zhuangzhuang." Zhuangzhuang didn't know what dimples were called, he only knew that his mother had the same dimples when she smiled, just like him.
Xiaoguo listened to Zhuangzhuang's innocent words and leaned over to look into the river with amusement. He could see his face reflected on the river surface. To be honest, he was shocked when he first saw his current appearance.
Because he looks exactly like me, with the same height and weight. I didn't notice it some time ago, because I didn't eat enough for a long time and my body was a little thin. After my period came, I ate for a few days in a row and gained some weight. He looks very much like me.
Even when taking a shower, Xiao Guo specifically looked at the mole under her chest and found that it was there too, in the same location!
Zhuangzhuang didn't stay for a while before going back to look for the cows. Xiaoguo stood up to chop grass when he had stayed long enough. When he came out, he was carrying a big basket on his back. This time he chopped more grass because even though these two little cows are small, they eat a lot.
After picking a full basket of small fruits, we estimated that it would be enough for today and tomorrow morning. It was getting late, so I called Zhuangzhuang to go back for lunch.
Zhuangzhuang happily put the rope on the calf, singing a nursery rhyme. When he passed by the village entrance, everyone had already gone home.
As Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang walked to the entrance of the village, a fat auntie called Xiaoguo from a distance. Looking at the panting woman, Xiaoguo asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
The visitor was the village chief's wife. She seldom contacted Xiaoguo and didn't know what the matter was.
The village head's wife came to Xiao Guo and said, "It's a good thing I ran into you, so I didn't have to go to your house. I mean, your house is too far away, so it would take a long trip..."
As she was talking further and further away, Xiao Guo couldn't help but interrupt her, "Auntie, what do you want to talk to me about?"
The village chief's wife exclaimed, "Isn't it? When your father-in-law was alive, he bought a piece of land from the village, but there was no vacant land, so now they have vacated a piece of land."
It turned out that when Chiang's father was alive, one piece of land was not enough for the family of three, so he used his little remaining savings to buy a piece of land. However, since there was no spare land, he kept putting it off, and now there is an empty piece of land.
Xiaoguo took the deed and looked at it. It was a piece of land not far from the current land. Xiaoguo said goodbye to her and took Zhuangzhuang home. She happily put away the deed on the way. This piece of land came at the right time. She was worried about having no land to plant corn, so Xiaowu planted it.
I hurried home with Zhuangzhuang and made lunch. After eating, Xiaoguo started to change her clothes, putting on dirty clothes that she hadn't had time to wash. I wanted to let Zhuangzhuang wait at home, but when I saw the pitiful look in his eyes, I changed my mind and said, "Let's go together."
The cheerful schoolgirl changed her clothes, took a hoe and went out. Before leaving, she brought a handful of grass for the cows so that they would not be hungry if she came back late.
We arrived at the land according to the title deed, and it was just as we had imagined, two acres of land with fertile and moist soil, perfect for growing crops.
Just like before, Xiaoguo was digging the hole in front and Zhuangzhuang was sowing the seeds in the back. They worked from noon to dusk. The sun slowly set when they finished planting the last seed. Xiaoguo buried the seed in the soil and stood up straight, and his waist made a crackling sound.
Fortunately, the sun was not so strong now, so the two of them sat on the ground and did not rush to leave. Zhuangzhuang was too tired to walk, so Xiaoguo recovered her strength and carried Zhuangzhuang on her back towards home.
They didn't see anyone else along the way. When they reached another field, Xiaoguo looked inside in the light of the setting sun. The wheat had begun to sprout and would be mature in about a hundred days. The corn would be about the same time. Thinking of the good news, Xiaoguo happily walked home carrying Zhuangzhuang on his back.
