"Strong!"

Xiaoguo looked through the crack in the door and saw the big, strong eyes. He immediately responded happily.

Mrs. Kong really didn't expect Xiaoguo to come so early. She was shocked. Looking at the mother and son looking at each other through the door, she opened the door without delay.

"Strong!"

"mother!"

The mother and son hugged each other, very affectionately, and laughed non-stop.

After the two of them calmed down, Mrs. Kong stopped laughing and said, "Let's have breakfast together."

"Let's not eat anymore. Let's go back and eat." Xiao Guo originally wanted to say goodbye to Mr. Kong, but when he heard Mrs. Kong say that he got up early, he decided to leave first.

It's still early, so we can go back and have dinner.

"Okay." Mrs. Kong nodded.

"Then we will go back first. Please tell Confucius for me."

"Me too. Madam, please tell Master about this for me too."

Zhuangzhuang heard Xiaoguo say this, so he followed closely.

"Okay." Mrs. Kong nodded kindly, "Go back."

Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang nodded with a smile, then got on the donkey cart and headed home impatiently.

Mrs. Kong watched the donkey cart go away, then she stretched her lazy back, closed the door, and said, "I'm going back to sleep."

Along the way, Zhuangzhuang kept sharing with her what had happened in the past few days. Xiaoguo listened very carefully to the interesting things he shared and occasionally asked questions. Zhuangzhuang was also very active in answering her questions.

After returning home, Zhuangzhuang ran around the house excitedly and greeted every animal. The two puppies saw him and excitedly wagged their tails around him. Zhuangzhuang happily hugged one of them in each hand, looking very happy.

The first thing Xiaoguo did when she got home was to cook. She watched Zhuangzhuang having convulsions while she cooked corn porridge.

The smile on her lips never faded. It turned out that the house was more lively with Zhuangzhuang around.

For breakfast, I had corn porridge, boiled eggs, pan-fried buns that I had made last night and some pickled vegetables.

Although it is not rich, it is nutritionally balanced. Zhuangzhuang has demonstrated Xiaoguo's cooking skills with his actions. All the food in the pots, bowls and pans is eaten up without leaving a single bite.

Xiaoguo was cleaning the empty plate, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment. She couldn't help humming a little tune while cleaning.

Zhuangzhuang originally wanted to wash the dishes, but Xiaoguo knocked him out. He didn't have to wash these few dishes and chopsticks, he finished it in one minute.

"Mom, can I go find Brother Xiaohu and Sister Xiaohua?"

After Zhuangzhuang returned to the house, he ran out after a while and stood at the kitchen door to ask Xiaoguo.

"sure."

Xiaoguo nodded, and Zhuangzhuang immediately ran out with something in his hand.

Xiaoguo suddenly thought of something and immediately called him, "Come back quickly."

"Okay!" Zhuangzhuang ran out without looking back.

Xiaoguo smiled, lowered her head and continued washing the dishes. There was nothing wrong with asking him to come back early. It was just that she missed him and wanted to have a good talk with him.

Zhuangzhuang ran to Mrs. Yang's door, knocked hard, then lowered his hands and waited for someone to open the door for him.

If you don't knock hard, the person inside won't be able to hear you. He's so small, so no matter how hard he knocks, there's a limit to how much he can do.

“I am here.”

When Zhuangzhuang heard Xiaohu's voice, he couldn't help but smile, "Brother Xiaohu!"

"Strong!"

Xiaohu, who was a little sleepy at first, immediately became alert, ran over and opened the door.

When he saw Zhuangzhuang, he hugged him and said excitedly, "Zhuangzhuang, you are finally back!"

After not seeing him for a few days, Xiaohu seemed to have become much stronger. Zhuangzhuang was held in his arms and had no strength to struggle at all.

"Yes, Brother Xiaohu..." Zhuangzhuang bared his teeth, raised his hand with great effort, and patted Xiaohu hard, "Brother Xiaohu, look what this is!"

Hearing this, Xiaohu let go of Zhuangzhuang and looked into his hand. "Sesame candy stick?"

"Yes, there are two in total, one for you and one for Sister Xiaohua."

This was the candy stick Confucius gave him, but he didn't eat it and took it back on purpose.

"Thank you, Zhuangzhuang!"

Xiaohu took the candy sticks with great care, took his own, and licked it carefully with his tongue, "So sweet~"

Because he was thinking about Xiaoguo's words asking him to go home early, he did not follow Xiaohu into the house. After giving Xiaohu the candy, he went back.

During the two days that Zhuangzhuang was at home, Xiaoguo prepared delicious food for him in various ways. As a result, in just two days, Zhuangzhuang's belly became bigger again.

Unfortunately, there is no chance for him to implement the weight loss plan that Xiaoguo prepared for him. Now he can only rely on growing taller as he grows up, so as not to become a little fat boy.

-

Capital city.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Li Shouji had walked back and forth in front of Jiang Shanhe many times, blatantly waving the things he had researched in front of him, and Jiang Shanhe did not try to stop him. He just lowered his head with a perverted smile on his lips.

Li Shouji threw down the iron block in his hand expressionlessly and walked towards Jiang Shanhe. He wanted to see what Jiang Shanhe was looking at so seriously.

With an effort, he squeezed his head in.

Jiang Shanhe was looking at the drawing paper on the table seriously, but suddenly his view was blocked by a big black head.

"Li! Shou! Ji!"

As soon as Jiang Shanhe saw him, his trigeminal nerve began to ache subconsciously.

Li Shouji didn't care about him. No matter how angry he was, he would just beat himself up. Anyway, he had experience and could handle it.

As he said this, he reached out and picked it up. The painting style was so childish, he could draw better without using his hands. Jiang Shanhe was actually so engrossed in looking at this thing, what a bad taste, if it wasn't a painting, he would have thought it was waste paper for wiping ink.

"Which little kid drew this?"

"My wife."

"..." Li Shouji put away his disgusted expression, looked at Jiang Shanhe, then lowered his head to look at the painting in his hand, and looked at Jiang Shanhe again, "?"

Jiang Shanhe folded his hands over his chest and nodded silently.

“Hahahaha…” Li Shouji’s smile froze a little. He nodded very quickly and praised, “Although it’s a bit sloppy, it’s quite in the style of Mr. Bai. Every stroke is so precise. It’s really… good… hahaha.”

Li Shouji swore that he had done his best to make such an embarrassing comment...

"..." Jiang Shanhe said nothing, but just stretched out his hand.

Li Shouji's eyes were moving the fastest at this moment. When he saw him like this, he immediately received it and respectfully presented the painting to him with both hands and placed it in his hands.

Jiang Shanhe took the letter and smoothed out the wrinkles that Li Shouji had accidentally made, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Although his painting skills were a bit crude, he could still imagine the scene at that time, and he couldn't help feeling satisfied.

I can't help but sigh that they have really grown up.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that the other party was about to leave without saying a word, Li Shouji hurriedly asked.

"Go back to the house."

"Don't forget your appointment tonight."

Jiang Shanhe paused, nodded imperceptibly, and then left.

Li Shouji was in a very good mood when he saw him leave. He rested his hands comfortably behind his head and couldn't help whistling.

He just said that Jiang Shanhe could not leave the capital.

The sound of a whistle startled the little bird on the branch, and it flew up to the sky chirping, circling around. Finally, because it was reluctant to leave the big tree, it flew back and landed in the same place.

Seeing this, Li Shouji chuckled, retracted his gaze, picked up his invention at his feet, and slowly walked back to the room.

On the way, I took a deep breath of air and felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

It looks like spring is really coming...
