When they arrived at the county town, Xiao Guo could no longer bear it and suddenly pulled open the curtain, which startled Zhuang Zhuang, who was brewing emotions inside and was about to scream with his neck stretched out, and his scream was instantly stuck in his throat.

"Shut up."

“…”

Zhuangzhuang closed his mouth reluctantly.

Xiao Guo looked around with satisfaction, and only felt relieved when he found that there were no officials.

There would be officials there when he got to the county. If he attracted the officials, he would not be able to explain himself even if he had eight mouths.

They arrived safely at Confucius' house. Xiao Guo couldn't wait to throw him in, said hello and went back without staying.

Zhuangzhuang was left at the door, looking at the ruthless Xiaoguo with tears in his eyes until he disappeared from sight, and then he was taken back by Mrs. Kong.

On the way home, Xiaoguo was in a very good mood. Without the loud noise, her ears were filled with the gentle sound of the wind and the chirping of birds. The breeze gently brushed across her cheeks and blew up her hair. She couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fresh air and exclaimed, "It's great."

The weather at this time is the best, less cold than winter, more energetic than spring, and not as hot as summer.

It would be nice if the weather was like this all year round.

Today was a rare day when she had some free time. She didn't have to rush back home, and no one was waiting for her to eat, so Xiaoguo let go of the donkey leash, leaned against the car frame, and leisurely enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

She hadn't noticed before why Taohua Village was called Taohua Village, but now she really understood.

When spring comes, Taohua Village seems to be surrounded by peach blossoms, giving a feeling of a peach garden wonderland. Peach trees are everywhere in the mountains. I don’t know when, but the peach trees have quietly sprouted green buds. After the warm wind blows, pink peach blossoms bloom overnight, with light pink and dark pink overlapping and intertwining together.

Xiao Guo really hated her poor painting skills, otherwise she would have captured this beautiful scene on paper.

It was noon when Xiaoguo got home. While cooking, he was lost in thought, unable to help thinking about the beautiful scenery he had just seen. Then he looked at the bare yard at home with disappointment, and slowly an idea came to his mind.

Who says you can’t grow anything other than vegetables at home? It would be great to grow some flowers. Not only do they smell nice, but they are also a joy to look at.

The yard at home is big. In addition to the space for the livestock, there is also a lot of open space for growing things.

Xiaoguo quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice without even washing the dishes, then went out to figure out a place to plant flowers.

The vegetable garden is not suitable. I have to plant vegetables in the near future. Xiaoguo left the vegetable garden and came to the chicken and duck pen. He looked around, looked up at the sun, and finally nodded, "Let's do it here!"

There is plenty of sunshine, but it's not too sunny. It's next to the vegetable field and a certain distance away from the chickens and ducks. The geographical location is very good!

Xiaoguo picked up the hoe and began to loosen the ground. Since she had never worked with this kind of thing before, the soil was very hard. It took her a lot of effort to hoe it well. Planting flowers does not require a large area, only a small area will be enough. It is pleasing to the eye and can also add color to the yard.

Usually when she went to the county, she seemed to notice that there were seeds for sale, but she didn't know whether they were flower seeds or vegetable seeds. There happened to be a market tomorrow, so she got up early to take a look.

The next day, before dawn, Xiaoguo had already gotten up and had breakfast.

After packing everything, we drove there.

In addition to flower seeds, she also planned to buy some vegetables and meat, as well as rice, oil, salt and other items. There were not many left at home, so she would buy them in bulk today.

When Xiaoguo approached the county market, he kept the silver close to him, because there were many people here and they were busy, so he had to be careful.

As soon as I entered the market, I saw people selling seeds. I got off the car and asked, and then I found out that these were vegetable seeds.

Xiao Guo looked around but couldn't quite tell what the seeds were, so she asked, "Master, do you have any flower seeds here?"

"What?"

The stall owner was old and had poor hearing, so he couldn't hear clearly. He pricked up his ears and asked again.

"Are there any flower seeds?"

Xiaoguo asked again in a louder voice.

"No." The master heard it this time and waved his hand to indicate.

Xiaoguo nodded and prepared to take another look inside.

There were not many people at the market today, and it was easy to walk even with a donkey cart, so Xiao Guo did not stop. He walked and looked along the way, and came to a familiar stall and bought some pork. Now the weather is getting warmer, and the meat can no longer be kept, so there is not much pork on the stall.

"Boss, give me some pork."

The boss saw that Xiaoguo was also familiar with him, so he immediately came over, sharpened his knife, and asked, "How much do you want?"

"Five pounds of pork belly, three pounds of tenderloin, and spareribs. Do you have pork elbows?"

Xiaoguo looked at the meat on the stall and methodically said the weight he wanted.

"We have pork elbows, a whole one with the trotter." The boss answered as he cut the meat for Xiaoguo.

"How many?"

"Well... there's only one pair left." The boss looked into the basket behind him uncertainly, then confirmed again before speaking.

"Then we need a pair."

"Okay~" The boss was happy when he saw Xiaoguo, because she didn't come here often, but when she did, she bought a lot.

"Big sister, does your family own a restaurant?"

Because I am also a regular customer, the boss has never asked me before and I just guessed. After all, apart from restaurants or cooks in large families, who would buy so much and they can't be kept in hot weather.

"It's either a restaurant or a home with many people."

Xiaoguo smiled and made up a reason.

When the boss heard this, he nodded in understanding. He had guessed correctly, it was either a restaurant or a cook.

"By the way, big sister, I have some pig offal here, do you want some?"

After loading the meat into the donkey cart for her, I suddenly remembered that this girl must like to eat that, so I asked her about it.

"want!"

Xiaoguo nodded impatiently, got off the donkey cart happily, and walked back. It’s good for pigs to go into the water!

"Here, that's all." The boss handed the basket to Xiaoguo and let her look at it.

Xiao Guo looked carefully, trying not to let go of the foul smell of feces. Inside was a large intestine, two pieces of pig liver, a pair of pig lungs, and a pig head.

"Brother, are you selling these?"

Xiaoguo took a fancy to these things, the cold pork lungs and livers, and the pork head meat, which smelled delicious at the thought of them. They are rare to come across.

"Pig head, you want some too?" The boss looked at Xiaoguo strangely. The Qingming Festival had already passed, why did he want this? He wasn't going to offer sacrifices or worship the gods.

"I want both."

Xiaoguo nodded. She was drooling. It was pork head. She hadn’t eaten it for a long time.

The boss strangely loaded all of her items into the car and charged Xiaoguo a very low price.

After Xiaoguo gave the money, she continued to collect the money with her purse in her pocket.

If I came across vendors selling other kinds of meat on the road, I didn't even look at them. It wasn't for any other reason, but mainly because I spent over budget today. I hadn't planned to buy so much meat, but as soon as I saw it, my mouth was watering faster than my heart, so I accidentally spent over budget.

Sure enough, the woman couldn't stop her car when she started shopping.

I bought some more vegetables, but not too many because I will have to plant them again after a while, and then I will have some at home.

On the way, I didn't meet anyone selling flower seeds, but I saw quite a few selling vegetable seeds. There was no rush to buy vegetable seeds now, so Xiaoguo didn't buy any and continued strolling along the road.

He bought a lot of things, big and small, and the donkey cart was filled to the brim. When he left the market, the donkey cart could hardly move.

At this time, the old man who was selling vegetable seeds at the market entrance saw Xiaoguo and asked him something.

"Did you buy the flower seeds?"

"no."

Xiaoguo shook his head and spoke loudly.

Unexpectedly, the boss smiled and said, "It's not for sale now! You'll find it at the market!"

After kindly reminding Xiaoguo, he packed up his stall and prepared to go home.
