Xiaoguo looked at the two people going away reluctantly, sighed helplessly, and then walked back to the yard alone. Looking at the extremely quiet yard, she sighed heavily again. It seemed that she had to adapt to life alone at home again.

Just as she was about to turn around and close the door, she suddenly stopped and her eyes widened. Did she forget something very important? !

Thinking of how Jiang Shanhe suddenly turned around and patted his chest at her with an ambiguous look, with a smile on his face.

"Contract?!"

It seems that she hasn't got back the contract that Jiang Shanhe tricked her into signing that day, about coming back to give birth to a child next time!

Xiaoguo tugged at her hair impatiently. Her hair, which had just been black and smooth, had now become a tangled mess.

I was so busy with Zhuangzhuang and Jiang Danhe these past two days that I forgot about stealing the contract. I'm so pissed off! ! ! !

No matter how irritable Xiaoguo was, Jiang Shanhe was refreshed at the moment. After dropping Zhuangzhuang off at Kong Fuzi's house, he quickened his pace.

On the way, the corners of his mouth were always raised, and he gently stroked the contract in his arms, looking forward to going home next time.

Jiang Shanhe secretly made a decision in his heart that after he went back and finished his business, he would immediately apply to return home to visit his relatives!

–

The weather at this time has completely stabilized. It is no longer hot and cold. It is gradually transitioning from spring to summer.

The cuckoo outside the window kept calling. For Xiaoguo, the chirping of cicadas and the calls of cuckoos represented summer.

Taohua Village is located near the mountain and the sea, so even though the temperature is high, it is not too hot.

On this day, Xiaoguo finally took down the curtains on the door and windows. They had said they would take them down a long time ago, but they had been putting it off. Zhuangzhuang had just been brought back home, and the first thing the mother and son did when they got home was to take down the thick curtains.

"Mom, where do I put this?"

Zhuangzhuang dragged the thick curtain and tried to pick him up.

Xiao Guo took it quickly and said, "Hang it on the rope first, let it dry for a while and then put it down."

Take advantage of the strong sunshine today and put it outside in the sun for a whole day to kill the bacteria with ultraviolet rays.

Just as I put on the rope to bask in the sun, Sister Yang came in with her bulging belly and two sour apricots. She sat down on the stool and kept mumbling, "Oh my, my waist and legs are so sore..."

Xiao Guo took one look and turned her head away. Her teeth felt so sour for her. "Sister-in-law, you eat so many sour apricots every day. Can your teeth bear it?"

"It's not sour and very delicious." Mrs. Yang looked as if the other party didn't understand the taste of delicious food. After saying this, she wanted to give one of them to her, but she refused it repeatedly.

Mrs. Yang turned to Zhuangzhuang again, and Zhuangzhuang ran away when he saw her.

"Why is he running?"

"Haha, the sour apricot you gave him last time almost made his teeth sour."

Xiaoguo sat over and explained with a smile that last time Sister Yang also gave him Zhuangzhuang. He thought Zhuangzhuang was sweet at first, so he stuffed the whole thing into his mouth. As soon as he bit into it, sour juice flowed out. He felt as if his soul was about to leave the body and his saliva flowed out uncontrollably. His facial features were squeezed into one piece and he was turned into a little old man.

Xiaoguo has never forgotten the scene at that time and still laughs whenever he thinks of it.

"Haha, I remembered it too~" Mrs. Yang laughed while eating sour apricots. Her brain hasn't been working well lately. She wouldn't have thought of something unless someone mentioned it, even though it had just happened.

Xiaoguo shook her head helplessly. It is said that pregnancy will make women stupid for three years. It seems to be true.

“The weather has been getting hotter and hotter lately~”

Mrs. Yang took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the sweat from her cheek impatiently. She was not thin to begin with, and her belly became noticeable as she became pregnant. Plus, she had gained a lot of weight recently, and now she was almost like a ball.

"It's not officially summer yet." Xiaoguo poured her a glass of water, placed it next to her, and motioned for her to drink.

Mrs. Yang nodded, picked up the water, drank it in one gulp, and wiped the water stains from her mouth. "It's so hot before summer. If it were summer, it would be even hotter. The weather this year is really abnormal. I guess it will be another year of extreme heat and extreme cold."

Xiaoguo smiled and said nothing. Although she didn't know what the temperature was here before, judging from the temperature last year, it wasn't too hot to kill people.

"By the way, what are you growing this year?"

Mrs. Yang thought that her mother-in-law had already started looking for vegetable seeds, but Xiaoguo's family had not planted any yet.

"I don't know, maybe it will be the same as last year." Xiaoguo shook her head. She was really not in a hurry to grow vegetables.

"Two days ago, at the entrance of the village, there were people selling vegetable seedlings. My mother-in-law bought a lot of eggplants and beans."

"Sold at the entrance of the village?"

Mrs. Yang nodded and said, "They've been selling vegetable seedlings for the past two days. If you want to buy some, you can go and have a look. They're available at dawn, but they don't stay long, only about an hour."

Mrs. Yang also heard it from her mother-in-law.

"Then I'll go and take a look tomorrow morning." Xiaoguo nodded. The time for setting up the stall was a bit short, but he understood it. It was mainly because the seedlings were afraid of the sun. Once exposed to the sun, the roots would wilt.

The next morning, Xiaoguo woke up early without waking up Zhuangzhuang. He originally wanted to go by himself, but Zhuangzhuang also got up quietly at some point.

"Mom, wait for me."

Although Zhuangzhuang was talking in a daze, he put on his clothes swiftly, as if he was afraid that if he was late for a second, Xiaoguo would not take him with her.

"Don't worry, take your time."

When Zhuangzhuang heard her say this, he nodded but still quickened his pace in getting dressed.

The mother and son packed up their things, picked up the small basket, took the change and walked towards the village entrance.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I happened to see a few stall owners unloading their trucks.

“Are you selling vegetable seedlings?”

Xiaoguo walked up and asked, and then got a positive answer from the other party. She took Zhuangzhuang and looked around. Last year she bought vegetable seeds, and this year she planned to buy seedlings and plant them directly.

There are also leeks in the vegetable garden. They have been growing slowly during this period of time. The first batch of leeks can be eaten. In addition to leeks, coriander has also emerged. The other vegetables only have one season, so there are quite a few seedlings to buy.

After strolling around, Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang stopped in front of an old lady. It was true that the seedlings from each store were very good and there were many varieties, but after looking around, her seedlings were still the best and the price was not expensive.

In the end, I bought a basket full of vegetable seedlings at a discounted price, including peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, beans, loofahs, tomatoes, and greens.

Carrying a basket full of "treasures", the mother and son happily walked home.

As soon as they got home, Zhuangzhuang wanted to help plant vegetables, but Xiaoguo was not in a hurry, "Eat first, then plant after breakfast."

Zhuangzhuang excitedly put down the basin and ran back to her side, "Then let's eat quickly!"

"Little devil!" Xiaoguo pinched his nose, smiled and went back to the kitchen.

Zhuangzhuang followed closely behind her and jumped into the kitchen.

After finishing breakfast, Xiaoguo asked Zhuangzhuang to wash the dishes first, while she started to fetch water from the well. Before planting vegetables, she watered the ground again. Since she had turned the ground over when she had free time before, there was no need to do it again.

I poured more than ten buckets of water on the ground until it was thoroughly wet, until water remained on the surface. This was the best time to plant.

Zhuangzhuang helped to transplant the seedlings, while Xiaoguo used a small shovel to dig holes, put the seedlings in and cover them with soil. They finished the job in one go and soon all the seeds were planted.

Planting is not enough. In order to make it easier to water them later, each seedling needs to be surrounded by a circle of soil.

Xiaoguo was walking around with a shovel, and Zhuangzhuang followed behind, wanting to water the plants.

"Mom, are you still watering?"

Xiaoguo wanted to say no, but when she looked up, she saw him holding a gourd ladle in his hand and looking very excited, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead, pour it in each pit, just one ladle will do."
