Several people now have not settled down yet. The village chief has a horse carriage, which makes it very convenient to go to the county or buy things.

Yuling and Zhao Yuyan are not very familiar with the outside world, and Xiaozhu has never been out alone, so it is not realistic to ask them to buy food on their own now.

However, once they got familiar with it, they had no problem with it.

Therefore, in the early stage, the old village chief will have to worry more.

Seeing Xiaoguo's persistence, the old village chief looked at his wife hesitantly, and she nodded at him, indicating that she should accept it.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Then I will accept it. Madam, please rest assured. Since the Zhao family mother and daughter have come to Xiaoyu Village, they are villagers of Xiaoyu Village. As the village chief, I will definitely take responsibility and take good care of them."

Xiaoguo smiled and nodded, believing in his words without a doubt.

It is rare to find someone who is so devoted to the orphans in the village for so many years. He must be a person with a strong sense of responsibility.

"To be honest, I have something else to trouble you with."

"Please go ahead."

"I would also like to ask you to keep an eye on their situation and let me know if anything happens."

"Okay, I will." The old village chief understood what she meant and nodded without hesitation.

Xiao Guo smiled and then said, "I live in Taohua Village. When you get there, just ask about my husband's surname. We are the only family with the surname Jiang in the whole village, so it will be easy to find him."

The old village chief immediately told his wife to find a pen and paper to write it down carefully. After writing it down, he showed it to Xiaoguo and asked the other party to confirm that it was correct before he carefully put it away.

After Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang said goodbye, they were about to go to Xiaozhu's house, but Zhuangzhuang stopped and pointed to the beach, "Mom, can we go to the beach and play for a while?"

"OK."

Xiaoguo looked at the seaside, nodded, and walked towards the seaside hand in hand with Zhuangzhuang.

Zhuangzhuang looked down at the sand under his feet, stepped on it hard, and kicked it again.

Xiao Guo saw his curiosity, so she squatted down and asked, "Do you want to take off your shoes?"

Take off your shoes? Barefoot?

Zhuangzhuang looked into her eyes hesitantly, and then, under her encouraging gaze, he smiled and nodded, "Yeah!"

Xiaoguo squatted down to take off his shoes, and suddenly realized a problem, "Are the strong feet a little bigger?"

She then realized that Zhuangzhuang's shoes were a little too tight for his feet. She had made them according to the size of his feet before going out, but how come his feet had grown longer in just over two months? It was so fast.

"It seems so."

Zhuangzhuang couldn’t tell whether his feet were big or not, but he did feel that they were a bit crowded. However, he didn’t tell his mother. He originally wanted to tell her about it when he got home, but he didn’t expect his mother to find out.

"So fast~" Xiaoguo took off his shoes and put them aside, measured his little feet with both hands, rubbed them nostalgically, and made Zhuangzhuang laugh.

"Mom, no matter how fast I grow up, I am still your son and I will never be separated from you!"

It is true that mother and son are connected by heart. Whenever Xiaoguo is unhappy, Zhuangzhuang will sense it at the first moment and then immediately follow up with warm and sweet words, leaving her no chance to sigh alone.

At this time, Zhao Yuyan, Yuling and Xiaozhu also came to the beach.

"Hey, is that Zhuangzhuang and Sister Xiaoguo?"

Because Xiaoguo's back was facing several people and Zhuangzhuang had his head down, he was not quite sure.

Zhuangzhuang heard his own name at this time. Although the voice was low, he subconsciously looked up in that direction.

When Xiaozhu heard Yuling's words, she happened to see Zhuangzhuang's face and said with a smile, "It's Zhuangzhuang and Sister Xiaoguo!"

The three of them walked quickly towards Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo was concentrating on taking off her shoes. Zhuangzhuang saw that she didn't respond, so he touched her to remind her.

"What's wrong?"

Xiaoguo didn't understand what was going on, so he looked up at Zhuangzhuang. At this moment, two voices came from behind him.

"Sister Xiaoguo~"

"Oh." Xiaoguo spoke faster than he thought. He answered first and then looked at the person who came.

There's no way. Recently, too many people have called me "sister". I never thought that at my age, I should call others "sister", but here I met a group of little sisters.

"We were just about to come out to look for you."

Xiaozhu looked delighted and ran over to speak first.

"Looking for me?"

"Yeah, we were just cleaning up the house and found a small wooden boat and a fishing net on the roof. We can catch another bag of seafood tomorrow after we finish fishing."

Xiaoguo smiled when he heard that. That was great. If he brought more back, he could get more. He was just worried that he wouldn't be able to pick up too much if he rushed to pick up more.

However, if you use a fishing net to fish, it is better to take a longer time. If you go to the sea early tomorrow morning and go home, you probably won't catch much. If you want to catch anything, you have to use the fishing net before dark, which is too dangerous.

"Forget it. It will be too late to set up the fishing nets tomorrow. We will go home as soon as we are done fishing."

Xiaoguo said this with some disappointment. Xiaozhu and Yuling also fell silent after hearing this. It really wasn't feasible.

"It's okay, we can get off now."

Zhao Yuyan looked at them strangely. Why did they suddenly become confused? It wasn't necessary for the rain to fall tomorrow.

"Yes!"

Xiaoguo slapped his head and laughed, "I'm so confused."

Xiaozhu and Yuling instantly regained their energy and said in unison, "Then let's go lift the boat and get the fishing net!"

"I'll get the fishing net!" Zhuangzhuang said unwillingly, how could he be absent from such a matter!

"Then let's go!"

Xiaozhu took the shoes from Xiaoguo's hand, and then she and Yuling each gave one to Zhuangzhuang, who had not yet reacted.

Zhuangzhuang swallowed the liquid that was about to reach his mouth and he could do it himself. Looking at the two people who were so motivated, he nodded firmly and caught up with them.

With their short legs, they certainly couldn't catch up with the two older girls, so Yuling and Xiaozhu ran a few steps, then stopped and turned around, grabbing Zhuangzhuang who was following them, and each of them held one side, and the three of them sped up instantly.

Looking at such a funny scene, Xiaoguo and Zhao Yuyan almost laughed to death.

The strong one in the middle seems to be running and floating, but his little face looks so serious and earnest, which is very funny.

After a long time, the three of them came back one after another, with exhaustion written all over their faces.

Although this boat and fishing net are not sinking, they are not important at a distance and should not be underestimated.

Seeing this, Xiaoguo and Zhao Yuyan hurried forward to help, and the three of them were able to catch their breath.

When Zhuangzhuang was squeezing the little face with all his strength, his hand suddenly felt light. He was not prepared and almost slipped out.

Hearing other people's laughter, he chuckled a few times with an embarrassed blushing face.

Several people pushed the boat into the sea together. After swaying a few times, the boat finally stopped steadily on the water.

The small wooden boat was left by Xiaozhu's parents. No one has used it since they passed away. Although it is a bit old, fortunately there are no cracks or holes in it, and the oars are intact.

Because the boat is small and can't accommodate too many people, only two or three people can sit on it.

Xiaoguo can row a boat, so she will definitely get on the boat. Xiaozhu and Yuling both want to go, and since they are thin, they can go too.

Now the three of them were seated. Zhao Yuyan wasn't very interested, so she suggested staying on the shore and waiting for them.

Zhuangzhuang seemed to want to go as well. He kept looking at Xiaoguo with pitiful eyes, hoping that she would take him with her.

Xiao Guo looked hesitantly at the space between the three of them, then looked at her muscular belly...

"Come together."

Zhuangzhuang suddenly opened his arms happily, waiting for Xiaoguo's hug.

But what he ended up waiting for was Xiaozhu and Yuling each pulling one of his arms onto the boat. When he sat steadily between them, he glanced at Xiaoguo's back with a sad look.

As if sensing something, Xiao Guo explained without even turning her head, "Mom has to row the boat and can't take care of you."

After hearing her explanation, Zhuangzhuang finally understood and nodded.

Just like that, three and a half men set out on the boat.
