Qin Anming was filled with tears of sorrow at this moment. Just a little bit more and he would not be able to see his lovely sister and plump nephew.
He once again threw away the firewood that he had collected with great difficulty, ran excitedly to Xiaoguo and hugged him tightly.
"You guys are finally back. I missed you so much!"
Xiao Guo really didn't expect his reaction to be so big. Her nose felt sore and she was just feeling moved. Just when she was thinking about hugging him back and saying "I miss you too", he ruthlessly let her go and ran towards Zhuangzhuang.
It feels like I am just a stopover and others are just stopping over for a short time, with their destination being the final destination behind them.
The outstretched hand was awkwardly placed in the air. While no one was watching, Xiao Guo quickly put it down and then turned around to glare at the back of Qin Anming's ruthless head.
"Uncle~"
"Strong~"
"Dear uncle~"
"My dear nephew~"
Not only were their words obscene, their actions were even worse, and as they talked, they rubbed their cheeks against each other.
The other people suddenly got goosebumps all over their bodies and quietly stepped back a few steps, moving away from the two of them.
Xiaoguo couldn't bear to watch this scene, so he just hugged her, but kissed and rubbed Zhuangzhuang, and said the word "I miss you" several times.
Is the difference so obvious?
Mrs. Yang smacked her lips and felt the food was tasteless, so she gave Brother Yang a look and the two of them prepared to go back.
Yang Jia, taking Xiaohu and Xiaohua who were reluctant to leave, also went back shaking his head.
Xiaoguo carried her bag by herself, walked past the two people who were too lazy to even look at them, opened the door and went in.
As soon as the door was opened, the two puppies jumped up. Xiaoguo rubbed their heads. Then they saw Zhuangzhuang outside and ran to him.
I let out a helpless sigh, wondering how could the dog be so heartless.
She withdrew her gaze and looked back at the yard. She didn't expect that she would miss it so much when she saw the familiar yard again after just over two months away.
When I left, the yard was still sparsely populated, but now it is completely covered with lush, fresh vegetable leaves.
The vegetables that were planted have grown up, and each one has delicious fruits under it. The beans, loofahs and cucumbers have already started to grow. Just looking at them makes people happy, not to mention that when all the vegetables are ripe in a few days, it will definitely be another harvest month.
Among the pile of vegetables, two piles of thorny flower stems are conspicuous. Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the roses planted by Jiang Danhe have grown green branches with light pink and light yellow flower buds on them.
What surprised Xiaoguo the most was the roses. He didn't expect them to bloom so quickly. It was just as the flower seller said, "The seedlings are strong. They will grow this year if you plant them this year."
But Magnolia was slower.
Xiaoguo admired the yard and greeted the animals.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a while. You've gained a lot of weight~"
Looking at the plump chickens and ducks, Xiaoguo swallowed irrationally. What a sin! He said he would not eat the poultry he raised at home.
The donkey was not willing to be outdone and kept barking. Xiaoguo could only quickly comfort it, but there was no other way because the sound of its barking was the most tiring.
He kept making "hmm ah ah" sounds, and his ears were almost deafened by it.
"My dear, you are the one who misses me the most!"
Xiaoguo touched its head, feeling extremely happy. Suddenly, he discovered that it had grown fat as well.
Why do I feel like all the animals at home have gained a lot of weight after being away for so many days? Is it an illusion?
Thinking of this, she looked at the two cows eating grass towards her and they had also grown a lot stronger.
It seems that she has been doing better during this time when she is not at home.
It was getting late and Xiao Guo was very hungry. In order to hurry on her way, she did not stop for lunch. But when she smelled the delicious aromas coming from the houses, she became very hungry.
I went back to the house and put down my bag. As soon as I went out, I remembered that I hadn't brought back the seafood at the door, so I turned around and went outside.
When he came outside, he ignored the two people who were still hugging each other, and took back a bucket of seafood in each hand.
Before leaving, he glanced at the two people who were immersed in their studies and said, "Go ahead and hug me. Let's see if you guys want to eat."
Water and rice were added to the pot. This should have been put in by Qin Anming. Judging from the proportions, it should be rice porridge.
Xiaoguo added another scoop of water and a handful of rice, then covered the pot and prepared to light the fire.
As soon as she squatted down, she realized that there was no firewood. Thinking back to the pile of firewood scattered outside, she finally realized what was going on. But she really didn't want to move...
Xiao Guo, who really didn't want to move, still dragged his tired body to the gate. Looking at the two people who were still lingering together, he couldn't help but remind them.
"Hello~"
Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang looked at her with brilliant faces, as if asking her what was the matter.
Although she didn't really want to break the warm atmosphere between the two of them, she had been going back and forth so many times, so she should be careful!
"you……"
Xiaoguo actually wanted to ask if you guys were going to stop, but looking at the two kind faces, he couldn't say it, so he could only smile and ask, "Are you hungry?"
They both nodded at the same time. They must be hungry.
"Let's eat!"
As Qin Anming spoke, he stood up and walked home with Zhuangzhuang.
"firewood..."
"Hey, let's pick it up!"
Qin Anming paused for a moment, then he remembered about firewood, so he pulled Zhuangzhuang to squat down and start picking it up. He almost forgot about it when he saw the two of them were so happy, haha.
Xiao Guo sighed, then turned around and went back.
She was too lazy to squat down and pick up firewood. She didn't know if it was because she was home, but her body was particularly relaxed and lazy. When she put down her bag, she wanted to lie down on the bed when she saw it. Fortunately, the hunger in her stomach supported her and she finally perked up.
I returned to the kitchen, lit the candles, and started to organize the seafood I brought back.
There was a lot of kelp in the two buckets, almost half of it was kelp.
Kelp has many benefits and tastes delicious. It is great for eating cold, making stuffing, or stewing. It can also be put in noodle shops and cooked in noodles.
Xiaoguo planned to divide the kelp into three portions, one for Yang Dasao's family, one for Confucius' family, and a large portion for the noodle shop.
The rest of the seafood can be divided into three portions. There wasn’t much seafood to begin with, so I didn’t keep any for myself, just some kelp.
While Xiaoguo was distributing the seafood, Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang spontaneously lit a fire and sat aside, watching her distribute it quietly.
"Mom, what shall we cook?"
"Let's have some seaweed salad."
"Huh?!" Zhuangzhuang stretched out his little finger, poked the slippery surface of the kelp, and asked doubtfully, "Can it be delicious?"
“Delicious and nutritious.”
As he spoke, Xiao Guo used a knife to cut a large piece and handed it to Zhuang Zhuang, "Go wash it."
Zhuangzhuang took it, nodded, and went to wash.
Qin Anming surrounded her, and after Zhuangzhuang left, he asked worriedly, "Why did you come back so late?"
"This kind of thing is never certain. I came back the day before yesterday. I stayed in the small fishing village with Zhuangzhuang for two days and caught some fish."
When it comes to traveling, plans never keep up with changes.
"By the way, why are you home?"
This is what Xiaoguo is curious about. Judging from the washed clothes on the rope, it must have been a while since he came back.
"Oh, it's okay." Qin Anming stammered and couldn't explain the reason. He felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her.
"What happened?" Xiao Guo saw that he didn't say anything, so she narrowed her eyes and said deliberately, "If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Ruyi tomorrow."
"Oh, no, no, no."
Qin Anming was anxious and subconsciously grabbed her. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was fishy.
Xiao Guo became more certain of his guess, frowned slightly, and asked, "What happened?"
Qin Anming hesitated for a long time and said embarrassedly, "I just twisted my waist and came back to rest for a few days."
"How many days?"
"One month..."
"A month?"
"...more than a month."
"More than a month?"
"It really shouldn't be more than two months, really!"
