"Why should I go with Dad?"

Zhuangzhuang was unhappily carried onto the horse by Jiang Shanhe. He looked at Xiaoguo with a resentful face, hoping that she could save him.

"Still resting? You almost forgot about the book."

Jiang Shanhe patted his head gently and said.

Zhuang Zhuang sighed, "Although...but..."

"Okay~" Xiaoguo came over, touched his face, and said softly, "You've been resting for so many days. Study hard when you go back. Got it? Mom will pick you up in a few days."

"Um!"

Zhuangzhuang nodded obediently and stopped struggling.

Jiang Shanhe sighed silently at Xiaoguo.

I've been talking so much, but it's better for my mother to say something. It's too discriminatory.

"Leave."

"Hey, don't forget to write to me when you get there."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Xiaoguo quickly stopped him and spoke, blushing as she spoke. She was actually a little shy to take the initiative like this.

"Of course!"

Jiang Shanhe smiled at her happily, and after he finished speaking, he rode away.

Xiaoguo is now becoming more and more dependent on him, which is really good news that makes him happy.

–

Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.

Since Jiang Shanhe left, Xiaoguo has returned to her previous life, but it must be said that with the addition of Yuling and Xiaozhu, her life is much more interesting than usual.

Every day I cut grass, made clothes, and chatted with Mrs. Yang. Every other day I went to the county to check on the progress and play with Ruyi and the others. My life was orderly and happy.

Before I knew it, the seemingly invisible autumn had passed by, the temperature dropped drastically, and the moment I opened my eyes, there was a biting cold wind blowing outside.

Xiaoguo was awakened by being frozen.

I lay alone in the cold quilt, shivering and in a daze all night, waking up and falling asleep. I had clearly gone to bed early, but when I woke up I was still sleepy and tired.

Xiaoguo, whose eyes were still closed, woke up with his ears first. While yawning, he vaguely heard voices coming from outside.

Xiaoguo slowly opened his eyes, sat up and listened carefully to the noise outside.

"You said this day is really weird."

"That's right, it made me cry and snot."

"I thought I had fallen into the island's cellar last night."

"There's a thin layer of ice in our water bottles. This damn weather is really scary."

"Why don't we both wear more clothes? I feel like I ~ A-choo ~"

"I think so too. If I don't wear it, I'll start sneezing right away~... I'll catch a cold."

Xiaozhu and Yuling sneezed at each other, and what they said came true.

At this time, Xiaoguo had already gotten up and put on her clothes. The cold wind blowing in through the window was unbearable enough. Not to mention going out, the thought of going out made her feel cold.

"Sister Xiaoguo."

"Well, go back to the house and get dressed."

Yu Ling was facing her door and saw her thin figure at a glance. She said, "Sister Xiao Guo, you should also wear more clothes. It's colder outside than it looks."

Xiaozhu also turned around and said, "The bones that are frozen outside hurt inside the seams. I'm not exaggerating."

As he spoke, he shuddered and matched his words.

Xiao Guo was amused by her acting funny, "You guys hurry back to the house and get dressed. I'll go make breakfast. After breakfast, we'll prepare for winter."

Xiaozhu and Yuling looked at each other, not understanding what she meant. What preparations were there for the winter?

But they still listened to her and ran back into the house to put on clothes. They couldn't get sick and cause trouble for Sister Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo opened the door and prepared to go out, but as soon as he got outside, he was blown back into the house by the cold wind.

No, she also needs to put on more clothes, it's too cold.

After returning to the house and putting on clothes, I mustered up the courage to open the door, endured the cold wind blowing in my face, and quickly ran to the kitchen.

As soon as you enter the kitchen, the temperature rises instantly.

Because Xiaozhu and Yuling got up early and cooked porridge, the whole kitchen was surrounded by the heat from the burning firewood and the hot steam rising from the porridge, which was much warmer than the temperature outside.

Soon, Xiaozhu and Yuling also came to the kitchen.

The two little men had no thick winter clothes, so they could only put on a few thin clothes. The two little men, wrapped up like a ball, stood in the kitchen, unable to bend or squat. They were very clumsy. When the kitchen became slightly hot, they broke out in sweat in an instant and had to take off the clothes they had put on with great difficulty.

"I happen to have two sets of thick clothes that I made for you some time ago. I didn't have time to give them to you, so you can put them on after dinner."

Xiaoguo had made them laugh enough and said as she brought the meal to the table.

Xiaozhu and Yuling nodded heavily and said happily, "Yes!!"

Then I put the clothes I took off aside and followed her to serve the food and set the table.

After breakfast, the three of them felt much warmer. They left Xiao Zhu Yuling to clean the table, while Xiao Guo went into the house and found the window curtains and door curtains that had been put away last spring.

Because they are all cleaned before being put away, you can still smell a hint of fragrance when you unfold them.

With the help of Xiaozhu and Yuling, the window curtains and door curtains were hung up quickly. They didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but the three of them felt that the temperature in the room had really risen a lot.

Of course the animals also need winter clothes, and they are still the clothes from last year. Fortunately, Xiaoguo made them quite large, otherwise they would not be enough to wear this year.

Xiaozhu and Yuling had never seen animals wearing clothes before, and they were extremely curious.

After playing enough, the two of them joined in dressing them.

"Sister Xiaoguo, it won't snow today, right?"

Yuling asked curiously while putting clothes on the dog.

"Not really. It's cold, but it'll take some time for the snow to come."

Xiaoguo didn't expect it to be so cold today. She always felt like she was wearing thin clothes to enjoy the summer just a second ago, but today she suddenly had to wear thick clothes to enjoy the winter.

“The temperature is abnormal this year.”

Xiaozhu looked at the barn thoughtfully. After a while, she asked, "Sister Xiaoguo, is it time to lay some hay for them?"

"It's time. Let's do it later. I'm going to go to the county first to get some clothes for Zhuangzhuang to sleep in. I don't think he has any thick clothes there. The temperature is dropping too fast."

"Sister Xiaoguo, don't worry, just go and deliver clothes to Zhuangzhuang. We'll take care of laying the hay."

Yu Ling laughed, patted her chest, and said confidently.

Xiaozhu also nodded, agreeing with Yuling's idea.

The two of them can do it!

Xiaoguo stopped what he was doing, looked at the two of them hesitantly, and then looked at the dry grass that had piled up as high as a wall in the corner.

After a while, he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, but be careful."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two little girls burst into laughter, nodded at her repeatedly, and made solemn promises for a long time.

Xiaoguo then smiled and nodded, and continued to put clothes on Maolu.

But her eyes looked a little heavy. In fact, this time, in addition to delivering clothes to Zhuangzhuang, there was another very important thing.

Since Jiang Shanhe left, she has not received any news except for the letter in which he reported his safety in the capital.

She didn't want to make wild guesses, but she couldn't help but worry.

Since she met Jiang Shanhe, they had never lost contact for such a long time. This time it was so long that she felt a little worried.

She also wrote him some letters during that time, but all of them fell into the sea and there was no response.

Even so, she was not worried that Jiang Shanhe had any ulterior motives, but was worried about his safety.

There were often people traveling to and from the capital at the post station, so she wanted to go and ask if she could get any news from the capital.
