Chapter 299 Qingming



On the day of Qingming Festival, after Qin Anming came back, Xiaoguo began to pack things and put them on the donkey cart.

In addition to burning paper, there were also prepared dumpling fillings and kneaded dough, a knife and a rolling pin. In short, all the tools for making dumplings were brought.

When I go back to bury my old man, according to custom, I have to make rice and dumplings at home. However, no one has lived there for such a long time, so I have to bring all the tools with me and go there to make dumplings.

After packing up, the three of them set out together. Along the way, they met many people who were rushing on the road carrying burnt paper.

When we arrived at Qinzhuang, we first pulled the donkey cart back into the yard and put Zhuangzhuang down as well. It is better for children to move less during this season.

Soon, Xiaoguo and Qin Anming arrived at the grave of the Qin family's two elders. The surrounding graves all had traces of burning, only theirs had no black marks.

The sunflowers in front of the tomb are still fulfilling their spring promise, and now they are sprouting tender green buds to protect the Qin family's two elders.

The moment Xiaoguo saw the sunflower, he paused, then followed with a look of doubt on his face.

It's a miracle that it can still grow without anyone planting it.

As the eldest son, Qin Anming must have talked to his parents. Xiaoguo didn't know why and didn't open her mouth. Qin Anming thought she was too sad to open her mouth, so he considerately said a few words for her.

After burning the paper they brought, the two went back.

Xiaoguo was walking behind and couldn't help but look back. She happened to see a sunflower facing her, which was particularly eye-catching. She didn't know if it was a psychological reason, but she always felt that the sunflower looked familiar, just like the one she planted herself.

The idea was too bizarre, Xiaoguo didn't dare to think about it carefully, and could only interrupt his guess randomly.

Zhuangzhuang, who stayed at home, was sweeping the floor with a broom he found from somewhere. His uncle and mother had gone to pay homage to his grandma and grandpa, so he couldn't sit around idle, so he had to clean the house and come back to cook.

After sweeping the floor, I originally wanted to wet the rag and wipe the table, but I found the rag but couldn't find the water.

Zhuangzhuang stood helplessly in the yard, holding a rag made of dust and spider webs, looking left and right. He couldn't wipe it dry without water, so why not just wipe it directly?

Thinking of this, Zhuangzhuang silently shook the rag, and dust flew up instantly. He couldn't dodge in time and started coughing.

Just then Xiaoguo and his friend came back.

"Zhuangzhuang, what are you doing?"

Qin Anming was walking in front and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhuangzhuang standing stupidly in the yard and coughing.

Xiaoguo heard the sound, turned around and looked into the yard, and was amused at what he saw.

"Haha, Zhuangzhuang is drilling in the stove?"

"No." Zhuangzhuang calmly felt like coughing, and tilted his head to look at Xiaoguo for some reason. However, such a silly and cute look made Xiaoguo laugh again.

Qin Anming walked over with a smile, wiped his face gently, and showed him the dust on his hands, "Look, it's all dust."

"Wow!"

Zhuangzhuang was shocked, "Uncle, you are so mean, you actually smeared ashes on my face!"

He didn't do anything, he just swept the floor, how could his face be so black? It must be his uncle and mother teaming up to tease him, he won't be fooled, hum~

"I didn't." Qin Anming didn't expect that he would be implicated, and hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands to clear himself of suspicion.

That's good, now there is only one suspect left, Zhuangzhuang pouted his little mouth, his eyes were full of bad thoughts, he approached Xiaoguo quietly with his hands behind his back, and before she could react, he rushed towards her quickly, he wanted to make his mother's body black!

Xiaoguo felt something was not right from the beginning, so she quietly took a step back. The moment he approached her, she quickly reached out and pushed him back. With his physique, if he had approached her, she was sure he would have fallen on his butt.

Unexpectedly, Zhuangzhuang's strength has increased even more, and Xiaoguo really can't control him. He really deserves the nickname she privately gave him, 'little calf'.

As the name suggests, this piglet has the strength of a bull.

Watching the game between mother and son, Qin Anming was quite idle and started to enjoy the fun from the side. He cheered for Zhuangzhuang one moment and Xiaoguo the next, looking like he was enjoying the fun.

"Brother, who are you cheering for?"

"Here you go, here you go. Come on Xiaoguo, come on Xiaoguo!" When Qin Anming heard Xiaoguo's rebuke, he immediately changed the target of his cheering from Zhuangzhuang to Xiaoguo.

Zhuangzhuang was already very strong, and he tried his best to rub against her, so he was even more unstoppable.

At first, Xiao Guo almost laughed out of strength, and now she couldn't stand it any longer. Looking at the man watching the excitement next to her, she felt like playing a prank, so she bent down with great effort and whispered something in Zhuangzhuang's ear. The child, who was trying hard, was stunned, then turned the gun around and rushed towards Qin Anming with all his strength.

"Little Fruit Plus~"

Xiaoguo's arm felt light and free, and he immediately looked at the battle situation on the other side.

Qin Anming was unable to react in time to this sudden disaster. With his mouth wide open, he was knocked to the ground by Zhuangzhuang and sat under him. Before he could react, Zhuangzhuang's little black face rubbed against his face and body with all his strength.

“Hahahahahahaha…”

Xiaoguo was so happy and smiling that tears came out. This scene was too funny. It was a pity that he didn't have a camera, otherwise he would have taken a picture of them.

After playing and making enough noise, my stomach started to growl and I remembered to cook.

Qin Anming went to fetch water, and when he came back, three people started to clean the table, clean the stove, and pack the dough, each doing their own job.

To make dumplings, Xiaoguo was in charge of rolling the dough, Qin Anming was in charge of making the dumplings, and Zhuangzhuang was ordered to light the fire.

With the combined efforts of the three, the dumplings stuffed with celery and pork were quickly put into the pot.

When I was rummaging through the refrigerator last night, I accidentally found a bag of celery in the back. I was afraid that it would go bad if I couldn’t finish it, so I blanched the celery and froze it.

It’s not good to freeze it for too long. I originally planned to have dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions, but I had celery, so I decided to make them with pork and celery.

Xiaoguo took out vinegar and garlic from the basket she brought and just put them on the table when Qin Anming came over with dumplings, followed closely by Zhuangzhuang.

There was a large basket full of dumplings, and the three of them ate all of them without leaving any.

"Xiaoguo's cooking is still delicious."

Qin Anming said this while cleaning the table.

After hearing this, Zhuangzhuang also nodded in agreement.

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Xiaoguo said with a smile, this is probably the happiest thing.

"That's right. I plan to eat it until I'm old."

Qin Anming said this out of the blue, and Xiaoguo exclaimed that it was unnecessary. He continued to eat until old age, which meant he was planning to never get married.

"Me too! Eat till you're old!"

When Zhuangzhuang heard Qin Anming say this, he thought about it and followed suit.

“Wow!”

After hearing this, Xiaoguo quickly begged for mercy. Was this an old bachelor bringing a young bachelor to torture her, an old woman?

Joking aside, the three of them quickly finished their meal and prepared to go back home. After all, there was no place to rest here.

It was lunch time when they came back. Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang were sitting in the donkey cart, while Qin Anming was outside driving the car.

"The weather has been getting warmer recently." Xiao Guo wiped the sweat from Zhuangzhuang's neck with a handkerchief and said to Qin Anming outside.

"Yes, fortunately there is wind today, which can blow away some of the heat."

Qin Anming tried his best to drive in the shade, away from direct sunlight.

Zhuangzhuang, who was peeking outside, was suddenly attracted by something and called out to the two of them excitedly.

"Look what that is?!"
