Jiang Shanhe's face turned red, and he raised his hands up in embarrassment to cover his entire face.

After a while, Jiang Shanhe finally spoke.

"Zhuangzhuang, can you cook?"

"..." Zhuangzhuang blinked, "What are you talking about?"

"...It's alright."

Jiang Shanhe knew he was in the wrong so he kept silent and let the kid serve him meals. If anyone knew about this, people would laugh at him.

After a meaningless conversation, the two returned to silence.

Jiang Shanhe looked at the path in the distance, calling out countless times in his heart, "Xiaoguo, come back soon."

After riding out in the morning, he went straight to the county town and first went to the noodle shop, but didn't find Xiaoguo. So he went straight to Kong Fuzi's house, but still didn't find her.

Fearing loneliness, Jiang Danhe simply tricked Zhuangzhuang back with him. Since his wife couldn't see him, the son should at least accompany his father.

Now that you're back, there has to be someone at home.

Jiang Shanhe didn't say much when he went to Confucius's house. Poor Zhuangzhuang thought Xiaoguo was also at home, so he happily packed his bag and followed him back.

After knowing the truth halfway, he clamored to go back, but how could Jiang Shanhe let him go back? It is too lonely to be alone, but wouldn't it be less lonely if two people were lonely together?

As there was no lunch, the two returned to the noodle shop. After eating and drinking their fill, they returned home in low spirits.

They stared at each other for the whole afternoon until the weather started to cool down, and then they sat at the door and transformed themselves into the Wife-Looking Stone and the Mother-Looking Stone.

At this moment, both of them were calling out to each other endlessly in their hearts.

Come back soon, Xiaoguo~

Come back soon, mom~

I (we) are hungry...

After cooking the meal at home, Mrs. Yang came out to call the two of them.

She didn't need to guess to know that there was no plan for dinner for the two of them.

Jiang Shanhe and Zhuangzhuang looked at each other, their eyes shining. They said sorry, but their actions were honest.

The two men put the horses back home and had just closed the door when they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

The father and son's ears moved, and they stopped walking, looking forward with hope in their eyes.

They are still very much looking forward to Xiaoguo's return.

Mrs. Yang was also amused by the expressions of the two men. She crossed her arms and looked in the direction they were looking.

When Xiaoguo was concentrating on introducing the surrounding environment to the two people, Yuling suddenly pointed at a person in front of him and asked in confusion, "Is that Zhuangzhuang?"

"No, Zhuangzhuang is studying in the county."

Xiaoguo waved his hands and said without even thinking.

The distance was still a bit far. After hearing her say that, Yu Ling was not so sure. Could it be that she really saw it wrong?

Her eyesight was good. She looked at it again and the more she looked, the more she thought it looked like it, so she repeated it.

"Sister Xiaoguo, you are really strong~"

Xiaoguo wanted to laugh after hearing this. How could Zhuangzhuang be here? He was the one who sent him away personally yesterday.

Seeing that the two of them still didn't believe it, Yu Ling stretched out her hand anxiously, pointed over there, and said, "The shorter one is the stronger one."

"Yes!" Xiaozhu narrowed her eyes and tried to look over there, confirming before Xiaoguo, "It's really strong!"

Afterwards, Xiaozhu sighed in confusion and asked, "But who is that person next to him? He looks so familiar~"

When Yu Ling heard her words, her body paused and she looked over curiously. There was someone next to her, how come she didn’t see it?

Just now she was so focused on looking at Zhuangzhuang that she didn't even notice who was around her.

Xiaoguo became interested after hearing the conversation between the two. How come it was becoming more and more true?

Unable to bear the two people talking together, Xiaoguo looked forward. When he saw that it was nothing, he was stunned for a moment.

"So magnificent!"

Xiaoguo was surprised and asked, "Why is Zhuangzhuang at home?"

"Look, I told you I wasn't seeing things!" Yu Ling said proudly, and then asked doubtfully, "Who's next to it?"

The distance was quite far. Although Yuling and Xiaozhu had seen Jiang Danhe before, they had not had much contact with him and were not as familiar with him as Zhuangzhuang.

Xiaozhu and she tried to look harder, but neither could compare to Xiaoguo's glance.

The carriage was getting closer and closer. If she still couldn't recognize who the man was, she would probably be criticized, and that man would be sulking again.

"The one next to him is Zhuangzhuang's father."

Xiaoguo was still a little shy to call him husband, but it would not be nice to say Jiang Shanhe's name directly, as it would be like saying she was not familiar with him.

Therefore, when the four words "Zhuangzhuang's father" came out, it perfectly explained his identity and there was no need to be too shy.

“Oh~”

As soon as she said this, the two of them exclaimed in sudden realization. They said, "Well, he looks so familiar. It turns out he is Sister Xiaoguo's husband."

"And the other one?"

They had both seen Jiang Shanhe before, but they didn't know the pregnant woman on the other side. In order to avoid making fun of her in front of Sister Xiaoguo when they got off the car, they still wanted to know more.

Seeing that the carriage was about to arrive at the door of the house, Xiao Guo didn't have time to explain to them, so he said, "She is a very good big sister. I will introduce her to you later."

"good."

The two nodded, then picked up the bags beside them and put them on their backs, preparing to get off the bus.

Xiaoguo was also very happy in her heart. Although she didn't know how he came back, it didn't stop her from being happy and delighted with his return.

Before the carriage stopped, Zhuangzhuang tugged at Jiang Shanhe's clothes happily and said, "Mom is back~"

Jiang Shanhe pretended to be calm and nodded, "Yes, it's your mother."

Zhuangzhuang glanced at him. Why are you pretending? His hands were shaking with excitement. It was not like he didn't see it.

Jiang Shanhe was indeed not as calm as he appeared. If the occasion was not wrong, he really wanted to run over, stop the carriage, give Xiaoguo a hug, and then tell her that he missed her very much, and then ask her where she had been, saying that he was starving to death.

Xiaoguo seemed to sense the man's resentment and waved at him from a distance.

Jiang Danhe acted faster than he thought, and he responded to her immediately. He even raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and it was obvious at a glance how much he was happy to have her back.

Then he heard the laughter of Mrs. Yang and Zhuangzhuang. His raised hand paused, his face turned red instantly, and he put it down embarrassedly.

I'd better express my longing for you secretly for a while, there are too many idle people waiting here.

Xizi stopped the carriage and put down the pedal.

"Thank you."

Xiaoguo walked down first and said to Xizi, and then Xiaozhu and Yuling, who followed her, followed her and said thank you to Xizi.

When Jiang Shanhe saw Xiaoguo appear, he started to walk towards her, but then he saw the two people following him. He paused for an almost imperceptible second, and then walked past her as usual.

Zhuangzhuang ran to Xiaoguo's side one step ahead of him. Although he was a little surprised that Sister Xiaozhu and Sister Yuling came back with him, he still greeted them with a smile.

Xiaozhu and Yuling liked Zhuangzhuang very much, and they greeted him with smiles on their faces, but then a tall shadow covered them and they both became nervous.

"Hello, brother-in-law."

Xiaozhu's eyes moved quickly, and the word "brother-in-law" successfully made Jiang Shanhe smile with satisfaction.

"Hello, brother-in-law!"

Yuling saw that he seemed to like this title very much, so she followed Xiaozhu and called out.

This time, Jiang Shanhe smiled even more. Although he brought back two little followers, he saw that they were very sensible, so he let them follow him.

"Hello to you too."

Jiang Danhe, who felt comfortable being ironed by his brother-in-law, kept smiling on his face.

Xiaoguo secretly patted him on the face, looked at his face and whispered, "You look silly."

Jiang Danhe's happiness was not affected at all. He just liked being recognized for his relationship with Xiaoguo.

A little sister Xiaoguo and a brother-in-law. Just by listening to them, you can tell that they have a very close relationship.
