It has been a long time since I heard from Xiao Yi. I promised to contact him more often, but I almost broke my promise.

After returning home, Xiaoguo was so focused on the letter in her hand that she didn't even notice Zhuangzhuang sneaking out of the kitchen and coming behind her.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

Zhuangzhuang wiped his mouth and stood behind her.

Xiaoguo took a deep breath, and the rich meaty aroma floated in the air. She sniffed it carefully but did not point it out. After all, she still had to give some face to their little man.

"A letter from Xiao Yi."

"Little Yi Ding?"

"Little Yi Ding!"

Xiaoguo imitated Zhuangzhuang's tone and showed him the letter.

When Zhuangzhuang heard Xiaoyi, he wanted to open it and take a look, but Xiaoguo just refused to give it to him no matter how he jumped and tried to grab it.

"Mom, give it to me~"

"You can, wash your hands first."

Zhuangzhuang hid his greasy hands embarrassedly and looked at Xiaoguo with a red face.

The main reason was that his mother came back too quickly and he didn't have time to clean up the evidence of his cheating.

He looked at Xiaoguo shyly, rubbing his little feet towards the water's edge, as if he was afraid that Xiaoguo would say something about him. He was very shy.

Xiaoguo turned his head away and chuckled, then looked at Zhuangzhuang who was washing his hands.

After he washed his hands reluctantly and watched him wipe them clean, she handed the letter to him.

"Go and see."

"I love you~"

Zhuangzhuang chuckled, held the envelope in his pocket like a treasure, and ran back into the house.

Xiaoguo looked at his leaving back. On his clean clothes, there were still a pair of greasy finger marks on his buttocks.

One can imagine how hurried Zhuangzhuang was at that time. He was probably scared by his entry, so he didn't have time to wash his hands and just wiped them behind his back.

At this moment, Zhuangzhuang, who had run in, suddenly ran out again with a letter in his hand.

"Mom, this is from Xiaoyi."

After saying that, he handed it to her, and after she took it, he turned around and went back to the house.

I just opened the letter and suddenly found two letters inside the letter, one signed by Zhuangzhuang and the other signed by Xiaoguo.

He did not open the letter privately, but hurriedly handed it to Xiaoguo.

Although he hopes that his mother will only love him and is unwilling to share her love, he can accept it if the other person is Xiao Yi.

Xiaoguo did not go into the house, but found a step in the yard and sat down.

I opened the envelope with a little anticipation in my heart. The first thing that caught my eye was a simple greeting and an account of what I had done recently. The most important thing was that the letter was filled with my thoughts for Xiaoguo.

Since Xiao Yi told Xiao Guo his true thoughts when he left last time, he was finally able to openly confess his affection for Xiao Guo.

Because they didn't have to meet in person, he was more enthusiastic in the letter and said a lot of things that he was embarrassed to say normally.

As Xiaoguo watched, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

I don't know where this kid learned so many sweet words, but he can make people happy.

After reading it, Xiaoguo folded the letter neatly and put it in his arms, thinking happily that since he had received such strong thoughts from the other party, it seemed that he should start writing now and prepare to write a long letter to send back to Xiaoyi.

It just so happens that I can send it to the post station tomorrow when I send Zhuangzhuang off.

When I went back to the room to get paper and pen, I happened to see Zhuangzhuang lying on the bed with a happy look on his face, his legs swinging back and forth regularly. I could tell at a glance that the master must be in an extremely good mood at the moment.

"Zhuangzhuang, after reading the letter, prepare to reply. You can deliver it on your way tomorrow."

Xiao Guo didn't have the heart to disturb his little mood at the moment, but still reminded him softly.

Zhuangzhuang opened his mouth wide, nodded with a smile, and replied in a baby voice, "Oh, I know~"

Xiaoguo smiled, closed the door for him, and went to another room with a pen and paper.

–

Time flies, the hot temperature has completely passed, and now there is a faint coolness in the air.

Mid-Autumn Festival is an annual festival for family reunions. Last year, Xiaoguo celebrated it with Ruyi and a few others at home. However, two accidents occurred during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

I had just delivered Zhuangzhuang Xiaoguo and was about to go home, but I was influenced by the lively atmosphere of other people and unknowingly walked around the market for many times and bought a lot of delicious food.

When we got back, the donkey cart was already filled with a lot of snacks.

Just as she was sighing that she shouldn't have bought so much, she suddenly found an unfamiliar carriage at the door of her house.

The noise made by the donkey cart startled the man waiting at the door, and he jumped down from the cart.

"lady."

"You..." Xiao Guo carefully identified the man, and then said in surprise, "Are you from Xiaoyu Village?"

Since they had only met once, Xiaoguo was not quite sure.

"Ma'am, I was the one who sent you back last time."

The man nodded, confirming Xiaoguo's guess.

Seeing him appear, Xiaoguo subconsciously had some bad guesses in his mind.

When the man saw Xiao Guo, he looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Madam, the village chief asked me to come to you."

Speaking of the village chief, Xiao Guo frowned. He would definitely not look for him if he had nothing to do. But if he did look for him, it was probably because Zhao Yuyan had met with an accident.

"Yes or no……"

The man nodded in understanding after hearing this, but it was a bit hard to understand. Death was something that people always avoided.

As soon as Xiaoguo saw his expression, her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.

After a long while, the man said, "The mother and daughter of the Zhao family who you left in Xiaoyu Village are not in good condition. Yesterday evening, Zhao Yuyan's body was not in good condition. The old village chief asked the village doctor Yu to check on her. He said that she was dying, so he hurried me to find you."

Although Xiaoguo was mentally prepared, she was still a little confused. After a while, she came to her senses and said hurriedly, "Then let's go back quickly."

"Oh good!"

The man answered without hesitation and asked her to get in the car.

Xiaoguo just raised his feet when he suddenly remembered that he still had things to do. He couldn't just leave like this. What would happen to the open-mouthed animals at home?

"Wait a moment, we need to be home alone. I'll entrust someone to you first, and then we can go."

After Xiaoguo finished speaking, she ran to the door of Yang's house.

After knocking on the door, it was Yang Jia who opened the door. Xiao Guo was really thankful that Yang Jia was at home.

"Yang Jia, help sister-in-law to watch the door for a day."

Seeing that she seemed very anxious, Yang Jia didn't ask the reason and just nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law."

"Here's the key to your house. The donkey is still outside."

"Well, I'll take it back now."

"Thank you."

"It's a small matter, no need to talk about it."

Yang Jia took the key with a smile, closed the door, and followed her inside.

Xiaoguo was very grateful that there was plenty of fodder at home so Yang Jia didn't have to go out to chop grass.

She has been causing a lot of trouble for him recently. Once this matter is settled, she will thank him no matter what.

After Xiaoguo said something to Yang Jia, he turned around and got on the carriage.

Yang Jia pulled the donkey cart out of the way and waited for the carriage to leave before he opened the door and went in.

He tied up the donkey in an expert manner, fed it grass and added water, and then fed all the poultry in the house. After making sure everything was in good condition, he locked the door and left.

After Xiaoguo got on the carriage, she sighed continuously. She really didn't like saying goodbye.

Although psychological preparation in advance can reduce the shock a little, it can never reduce the sadness.

A poor woman's hard life is about to end, and she doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Since she wasn't in a good condition yesterday evening, it would take until evening for her to arrive, and I didn't know if I would be able to see her for the last time.

I hope to see it, I must see it...
