As expected, the departure time was very unstable. It was originally scheduled to be around fifteen days, but it was not advanced but delayed, and only arrived after the seventeenth day.

Xiaoguo carefully examined the man in front of her according to the description in Jiang Shanhe's letter.

Only after the other person's face turned red did he look away and said, "Let's go."

After leaving the spare key to Yang Jia, she took Zhuangzhuang into the carriage.

As soon as they entered, Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang were shocked.

Zhuangzhuang was about to scream, but Xiaoguo covered his mouth. He must not show his weakness.

After releasing Zhuangzhuang, Xiaoguo sat on the super soft seat with Zhuangzhuang and said to the handsome boy outside the door, "Let's go." After the carriage started moving, she finally had the mind to carefully observe the decoration inside the carriage.

Jiang Shanhe actually sent an extremely luxurious carriage to pick them up. The outside of the carriage looked ordinary, but the inside was a different world.

There was a bed, a tea table, fruits, and a stack of storybooks. It had everything one needed. It was several times more luxurious than the one she had seen the county magistrate sit in before.

The seats in the carriage are just like Simmons mattresses. No matter how bumpy the carriage is, you won't feel it inside.

Zhuangzhuang sat on the cushion, pressed hard, and said in surprise, "Mom, it's so bouncy."

Xiaoguo nodded happily in agreement.

I have never ridden in a Rolls-Royce carriage in my lifetime, and it makes me laugh even in my dreams.

The carriage traveled for a whole day, from dawn to dusk. When Xiaoguo felt the carriage moving slowly, she gently put down the sleeping Zhuangzhuang in her arms, then opened the curtain and looked outside.

Not far away, piles of raging bonfires lit up the sky. Armored soldiers holding sharp spears were standing guard or patrolling in rows. The sound of their neat and slow footsteps was heard everywhere.

In the center, surrounded by soldiers on guard duty, there were tents of all sizes. Before I got close, I could smell the strong aroma of meat wafting out from the tents that were emitting warm light.

The carriages and horses were parked neatly on the side. After a tiring day of driving, everyone was resting and recuperating.

As soon as I reached the entrance, I saw a figure walking out of the darkness.

Xiaoguo looked carefully and found that it was Jiang Shanhe who had been waiting for a long time. His frown relaxed instantly.

Jiang Shanhe also noticed her at the first moment, his face lit up with joy, and he walked up quickly.

When the officers and soldiers saw Jiang Shanhe, they immediately saluted. Jiang Shanhe didn't even have time to look at them and walked straight past them towards Xiaoguo.

"General!"

Jiang Shanhe glanced at the young man who escorted Xiaoguo and the others and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work!"

The man blushed when he heard this and replied excitedly, "It's not hard!"

"Go back and rest."

After Jiang Shanhe finished speaking, the man bowed and went back happily.

He stepped up to the carriage in three steps, opened the curtain, and was about to call Xiaoguo, but the other party stopped him.

Xiaoguo gently pointed at the sleeping Zhuangzhuang, and Jiang Shanhe immediately understood. He held back his smile and carefully picked up Zhuangzhuang. At this time, Zhuangzhuang suddenly turned over, which scared him so much that he froze in place, motionless until Zhuangzhuang fell asleep again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go."

Jiang Shanhe looked at Xiaoguo who got off the carriage and spoke softly.

Xiaoguo nodded and followed him with her bag on her back.

Because he was holding Zhuangzhuang in his arms, Jiang Danhe felt a little uncomfortable. He was very stiff and weird. If Xiaoguo hadn't been concerned about the sleeping Zhuangzhuang, he would have laughed a long time ago, like a living robot.

After the three figures disappeared, the officers and soldiers on guard duty began to laugh and whisper to each other.

Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe came into the tent, found a stool to put down their bags. Before they had time to look around inside, they saw Jiang Shanhe clumsily putting Zhuangzhuang down. He didn't know which end to put first, and after putting him down, he couldn't pull his arms back, so he had to pick him up again and put him down again. The ordeal almost woke Zhuangzhuang up.

Xiaoguo couldn't bear it anymore, so she went forward and picked up Zhuangzhuang, and skillfully put him on the bed. Jiang Shanhe covered him with a quilt, and Xiaoguo lifted the quilt, leaving only one corner to cover his belly.

It's a bit hot to cover him with a whole quilt in this weather, not to mention that Zhuangzhuang is still wearing clothes, so just cover his belly.

Jiang Shanhe looked at Xiaoguo's familiar movements and pondered for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

After Xiaoguo finished everything, she saw the strange Jiang Shanhe standing beside her. She didn't know what he was thinking, but his face was full of guilt.

"Hmm? Oh, nothing." Jiang Shanhe smiled helplessly, "By the way, the meal is ready, how about waking Zhuangzhuang up to eat?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Guo looked at Zhuangzhuang behind him hesitantly, and finally nodded, "I'll wake him up now."

They had been rushing all day and hadn't eaten much, so Zhuangzhuang was already hungry and just managed to coax himself to sleep.

Jiang Shanhe nodded and went out to bring the meal over. He knew that Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang hadn't eaten yet, so he didn't eat either. He was just going to wait for them to arrive and eat together.

"Strong? Strong?"

After Xiaoguo saw Jiang Shanhe go out, he came to the bedside, gently stroked Zhuangzhuang, and after calling him twice to no avail, he had no choice but to use his ultimate move.

She blew a breath of hot breath on her hand, reached into his clothes, and when she felt the soft flesh, she quickly tickled him and pinched his itchy flesh, each time hitting the mark accurately.

"Hmm, hahaha, mom? Haha..."

Zhuangzhuang was sleeping and was woken up by a sudden itching sensation without knowing why.

Seeing that he had woken up, Xiao Guo stopped moving and rubbed his sleepy face. "We are here. Your dad has gone to serve the meal. Wake up and get ready to eat."

After hearing what she said, Zhuangzhuang looked around with energy and found that it was indeed not a carriage. Thinking of this, he jumped down with energy, put on his shoes and looked around.

Xiaoguo was puzzled by his sudden interest. He had been so listless just now, but now he was suddenly energetic again.

"Mom, I don't want to ride in a carriage anymore. It's so tiring."

Enough of the strengthening activities, he stopped and spoke happily.

"You have to sit again tomorrow."

Before Xiaoguo could say anything, Jiang Danhe's voice came from outside.

Zhuangzhuang also missed him a lot. When he saw him come in, he immediately ran over and hugged his legs. Even though Jiang Shanhe was holding a plate in his hand, he still had one hand free to pick up Zhuangzhuang.

Although the father and son had competed with each other in wits and courage last time, this time they just missed each other.

Xiaoguo walked over, took the plate and put it on the table. Looking at the affectionate father and son next to him, he said with a sour look, "Are you going to eat or not?"

She couldn't hug Zhuangzhuang like that, she was really jealous of Jiang Shanhe!

“Eat, eat, eat!” Zhuangzhuang answered first.

Jiang Shanhe smiled and put Zhuangzhuang on the stool, then sat down beside him.

On the plate was rice porridge, a few steamed buns, three dishes of stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of grilled lamb chops.

Xiaoguo didn't have a big appetite, so she was full after drinking a bowl of porridge and half a steamed bun.

Jiang Danhe originally wanted to let her eat, but he suddenly remembered the time when she didn't sleep all night. He felt so distressed just thinking about it, so he gave up and could only continue cleaning up the leftover dishes with Zhuangzhuang.

After Jiang Shanhe took the meal out, he brought back a basin of warm water. "It's not very convenient now. If you want to wash up, I'll prepare it for you when we get there tomorrow."

Xiao Guo nodded, "Got it."

She was not in a hurry to wash up. After all, she was outside and there were quite a few people around. Even if she had the conditions, she would still be embarrassed to wash.

He wiped Zhuangzhuang's and his own face with water.

Zhuangzhuang was already feeling a little sleepy at this time. Eating just now was the last bit of his willpower. Now he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes and felt like he was going to faint at any moment.
