"...I guess not."

Xiaoguo didn't know what to say, and Ruyi and he didn't know whether there was any hope, so they could only say this for now.

"Alas~"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Guo looked at the suddenly confused woman with a face full of doubts.

"What a shame, if only I were a few years younger..."

As soon as Sister Yang said this, Xiao Guo looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and even stuttered when he spoke, "Sister-in-law, put away this dangerous idea of ​​yours!"

If she didn't stop it quickly, she was afraid that Sister Yang would say something "upside down human ethics".

"It's really rare to find a man with this kind of temper~"

Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Yang continued to praise him with an appreciative and cheesy tone. Xiao Guo's scalp went numb when she heard it. She said in horror, "Sister-in-law, if Brother Yang knew what you were thinking, he would kick you out of the house."

“Hahahahahaha~”

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang was so happy that she almost lay down. Then she snorted heavily, "He doesn't dare!"

Xiaoguo thought so too. Even though Brother Yang looks like a man, he is still afraid of his wife.

"But then again, your brother is not young anymore, and other people his age are already fathers."

Xiao Guo nodded and said jokingly, "Why, do you also want to be a matchmaker like Aunt Lin?"

"Go ahead, I don't have the material." Sister Yang smiled and touched Xiao Guo. She actually said this to tease her. How bad!

At this time, Qin Anming, who was far away, was bumped by the children again. He pretended nothing happened, sat up with a smile, patted his body, and continued to play with them. One of the children tripped and was about to fall. He was quick to grab the child and patiently comforted the frightened child until he smiled again. Then he continued to play with the children.

"Ah~ I just mean that your brother's temper is really enviable. I wish I had half of his patience."

A grown man being so patient really made her, a woman, feel ashamed. If she encountered such a situation, she would have been furious a long time ago. How could he comfort her so gently? It would be a miracle that she didn't become disabled.

"Yeah, I have to learn from my brother." Xiao Guo looked at Qin Anming who was laughing happily in the distance. In her memory, he seemed to have a gentle temperament since he was a child and rarely looked angry.

"This kind of personality is probably innate, and it's impossible to change it later on, so I gave up." Mrs. Yang was just thinking about trying to change herself, but she found that she really couldn't do it, so she just announced that she gave up.

Xiaoguo just smiled without saying anything and continued to look at the group of little people playing in the distance, just a group of children and a little adult.

The temperature is very unstable now. Sometimes it is very warm during the day and sometimes it is very cold. Sometimes it is very warm during the day but suddenly becomes cold in the afternoon.

We played for a while until we felt a little cold and then went home.

–

Capital city.

Jiang Shanhe returned home from the palace late at night, and Li Shouji considerately prepared hot dishes and meals for him.

"How is it? It's heartwarming to have me here."

Li Shouji said with a smug look on his face, "You still despise me. If it weren't for me, you would have just starved."

“…”

Even though Jiang Danhe was very hungry, he ate very politely, but still ignored each other.

Li Shouji curled his lips, pushed the side dish closer to him, and closed his mouth knowingly.

Today is Qingming Festival. Except for one hour for him to worship his ancestors, the rest of the time he was either with Shao Zhan or going to Shao Zhan's side. He also ate with Shao Zhan, but there were too many things to prepare in the evening, so he had no time to eat.

After eating, he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief beside him, folded the food neatly and put it aside. Only after doing all this did he have time to look at Li Shouji.

"I have something to do tomorrow and will be out for a while. Please keep an eye on the barracks. If you have anything, send me a message."

After saying that, he stood up and walked into the house.

"Where are you going?"

Li Shouji asked subconsciously.

"I won't tell you."

"..." Li Shouji followed closely behind him with a puzzled look on his face, "How can I find you if you don't tell me?"

Jiang Danhe paused and glanced at him vaguely. He was not stupid and his mind had changed.

In the end, Li Shouji didn't find out where he was going and returned to his room in frustration. What did it mean to ask him to find him if he had anything to do but not give him the address?

After thinking for a long time, an idea suddenly occurred to me, "Doesn't that mean that I can't go to him no matter what?!"

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems. This sounds very much like something Jiang Shanhe would say.

Li Shouji couldn't swallow this anger, and was determined to ask him early the next morning. However, when he woke up the next day, he went to find him first, but still found nothing.

The news I got was that he had already left in the middle of the night. I had no choice but to go back to my room to catch up on some sleep, feeling angry, and wait for him to come back before settling the score.

On the other side, Jiang Shanhe, after rushing on the road in the middle of the night, was now sitting at a wonton stall eating breakfast.

The destination of this trip is Taohua Village.

Ever since he last wrote to Xiaoguo to ask whether he should stay in the capital, he has not received a reply. Now some time has passed and he is gradually feeling uneasy.

On the days when he didn't receive the letter, he suffered from insomnia. He had many guesses in his mind. Could it be that Xiaoguo didn't agree with him staying in the capital, so she stopped contacting him in anger? Or was she sick...

In short, he was offline every day and couldn't sleep every night, so he asked Shao Zhan for a vacation, but he would definitely not let him go easily.

With this hard-earned vacation, Jiang Shanhe started to rush again.

–

After the Qingming Festival holiday, Zhuangzhuang was sent back to Confucius' home.

"Mother~"

"Can't."

"I didn't say anything, but you said no. Aren't you too cruel?" Zhuangzhuang pouted and looked at Xiaoguo seriously.

"No matter what you say, at this moment, you only have one choice, and that is to get in the car and go back to Confucius." Xiao Guo pointed at the carriage with a smile, then opened the curtain for him and made a gesture of invitation.

"No discussion?"

The strong little hands were still holding the door tightly, and he was accusing her of being heartless with a look on his face.

Xiaoguo shook her head calmly, then gave him a look, letting him slowly understand it.

Zhuangzhuang pretended to be pitiful and swallowed his saliva. He looked at her with his big watery eyes and said in a baby voice, "I know."

If he had met someone else, he would have softened his heart long ago, but the person he met was Xiaoguo, a woman who had already developed an immune system towards him.

Zhuangzhuang reluctantly got on the donkey cart, dragging his bag with him, and poked his head out unwillingly, saying, "Mom, can you go to school with me?"

He likes reading, and he would like it even more if Xiaoguo could follow him.

Xiaoguo didn't want to talk anymore, so she just slapped his head and pushed it back gently.

"Mom, let's go together~"

Zhuangzhuang suddenly thought that his idea was good. He could study and stay with his mother at the same time. It was like killing two birds with one stone. It was really great!

"well……"

Xiaoguo let out a long sigh, feeling extremely tired after listening to the requests coming from the carriage from time to time.

Things were apparently going well some time ago, and she thought Zhuangzhuang had successfully gotten rid of his addiction to Mamabao. Unexpectedly, after just a few days of vacation, he shrank back again.

"Mother~mother~mother~mother~"

Xiaoguo blocked her ears, but couldn't block out the sound of slaughtering chickens coming from the carriage. It was not a roar, but a mournful sound.

People who heard this thought she was kidnapping a child and looked at her with tinted glasses. Some parents even held their children tightly in their arms. She almost got blisters at the mouth from explaining this along the way.
