Although it is of little use, as long as he knows that there is no major movement in the capital, then Jiang Shanhe should still have a one-third chance of being safe.

When Xiaoguo went back to the house to pack her thick clothes, Xiaozhu and Yuling were outside harnessing the donkey cart for her.

As soon as I came out, I saw a full set of donkey carts waiting there.

Xiao Guo looked at the two of them with emotion, "Thank you."

"Hehe~" The two little girls scratched their heads in embarrassment and said, "Be careful on your way."

Xiaoguo didn't say anything, just nodded, smiled, got into the car, waved goodbye and left.

When Xiaozhu and Yuling went back to the house to get something, they happened to see two sets of thick clothes neatly placed on the bed in their room, one light pink and the other light blue.

Xiaozhu likes pink and Yuling likes blue.

The two girls rolled around on the bed happily, holding their own clothes. It seemed that they would be able to spend a warm winter this year.

Xiaoguo put his bag in the carriage and put his hands in his sleeves to block out some of the cold air.

The donkey had walked for more than a dozen miles to get to the county, so Xiaoguo basically didn't need to lead it specifically, it could find the way to the county by itself.

This saved her a lot of trouble, as her hands didn't have to be exposed and could be tucked into her sleeves to keep warm.

When they arrived at the county, Xiaoguo first handed the clothes to Zhuangzhuang.

The little guy ran out of the warm house, his little face flushed as if he was still steaming.

When Zhuangzhuang saw Xiaoguo, he immediately threw himself into her arms.

He looks so aggrieved that people who don't know the truth might think he is being bullied.

Those who know the truth will understand that the villain just misses his mother.

"Mom~ I miss you so much~"

"Well, you've said it many times."

After Xiaoguo calmed his little mood, she wanted to go back. After all, she had something on her mind that she wanted to figure out as soon as possible.

Zhuangzhuang refused to let her go, so Confucius asked him to go back, and he reluctantly let go of her legs.

But the little boy who was aggrieved just now immediately regained his obedient appearance and waved to her, "Goodbye, mother~"

Having said that, he ran back mercilessly.

Xiaoguo's elbow was still holding the clothes that she was going to hand over to Zhuangzhuang, but the other party seemed to have forgotten what he was doing here. He hugged her thighs and cried for a while, then went back to class.

Mrs. Kong took the bundle from her hand, shook her head and said with a smile, "Come in and warm yourself up."

"No, I have something else to do. I'll come visit you next time."

Xiaoguo came to his senses, explained a little, and then left.

On the way, I was hesitant about whether to go to the post station or the second floor.

Finally, I decided to go to the second floor first and then stop by the post station on my way out.

I couldn't help feeling a little lucky, thinking that maybe Jiang Shanhe's letter was on the way.

When we arrived at the second-floor building, we found that the outside had been basically cleaned up and the whole place looked brand new. Just looking at the appearance, it was hard to tell that it was in such a dilapidated state before.

She didn’t change the overall structure of the ancient building much, but just made some cuts and deletions to some minor details.

For example, you can place a row of flower baskets under the windows on each floor. When the season comes, you can plant seeds in them. I believe it will be a very nice sight when the flowers bloom.

There is also a backyard, where the staff dormitory will be located. She also arranged a small garden there, leaving only a path leading to the cellar and the well.

After renovations, the interior of the building has taken shape and is getting closer and closer to what Xiaoguo had imagined. This feeling is so joyful that it's hard to describe.

Everything is going in the ideal direction.

The weather was getting colder, but the teachers' enthusiasm did not diminish. Shu Botong cheered up and unexpectedly he was quite capable.

As soon as the air conditioner came on, hot tea was immediately served. The chef felt warm inside after drinking it and praised it highly.

When I saw Xiaoguo appear, my ears were filled with voices praising him.

Xiao Guo responded while looking at Shu Bo Tong. It seems that he has done a lot during this period of time.

Thinking of this, a look of satisfaction crept up on his cheeks.

Xiaoguo came to sit in front of Shu Botong with a smile, then took out a silver ingot from his pocket and said, "It's getting cold, let's buy some thick clothes and something to keep warm."

Shu Botong shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine."

As he spoke, he pushed the silver into her hand.

Xiao Guo didn't say much, but just handed the silver back to him.

Shu Botong was not the kind of person who would refuse, so seeing how she was "persistent" in giving it to him, he "reluctantly" accepted it.

Xiaoguo rolled her eyes at him in disdain, and before he could say anything, Shu Botong spoke.

"The cellar in the backyard will be finished soon. It's just being leveled right now. Do you want to come take a look?"

Xiaoguo became interested when she heard it. Her cellar made her happy just thinking about it. "Let's go~"

Shu Botong raised his eyebrows, knowing that she would be happy, so without saying a word, he followed her to the backyard.

Three or five masters are still repairing the cellar. It has taken shape and bricks can be laid tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The neatly stacked green bricks next to the cellar had already been decided.

"Watch your step." Shu Botong reminded her of her safety, fearing that she would only look towards the cellar without looking at her feet and fall in again.

It would be okay if he fell on the spot, but if he fell into the cellar, the serious consequence would be a banquet, or at least he would fall into a coma. This is no joke.

Xiaoguo leaned his head to look inside, but apart from the faint candlelight, he could not see anything. It was pitch black and a little creepy.

I took a few steps back and felt more at ease.

Shu Botong chuckled a few times when he saw her like this, and thought she was quite brave, but it turned out she was just like that.

"What will be put in the cellar when it's finished?"

Shu Botong suddenly thought of something she had mentioned, but it had been so long that he couldn't remember it clearly. He only remembered that it was something that was afraid of heat.

"Ice cubes."

"Yes, yes, ice cubes!" Shu Botong had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. He said it was a cool thing.

Xiaoguo also told him about the type of store she wanted to open. Although his expression was a little upset when he heard the word "cow's milk", he was better than others and was more accepting than other ordinary people.

People like Zhuangzhuang, Jiang Shanhe, Qin Anming, Ruyi and Shu Botong all had some strange thoughts when they heard about using cow's milk, but they still supported her.

Xiaoguo could guess the reason. They supported her unconditionally simply because they trusted her.

"Once it's repaired, we'll start storing ice. I'll buy some wooden barrels and you'll freeze it here while I'll do the freezing at home. We'll try to fill up the cellar in one winter."

"no problem!"

Shu Botong assured very readily that even with the cold weather this year, he would be able to fill it up in less than a whole winter.

"Winter came early this year, and the temperature is lower than in previous years. You should buy some thick clothes and blankets to prevent yourself from getting sick from frostbite. Also buy some charcoal. The stove here has just been repaired, so don't save on it. The most important thing is to avoid getting sick. Also..."

Shu Botong nodded repeatedly, not deliberately contradicting her as he usually did. He always kept her genuine concern in mind and took it seriously.

Because Xiaoguo had something on his mind, he didn't stay long. After giving him some detailed instructions, he drove away.

Since she classified Shu Botong as one of her own, she would definitely treat him sincerely, so it was inevitable that she would nag him uncontrollably. Fortunately, the other party did not show any impatience, so she felt at ease.

After Shu Botong and others left, he wrapped his thin clothes tightly, raised his head thoughtfully, looked at the sky, and sucked the frozen snot hard.

Otherwise, go buy some clothes. You can't waste the boss lady's care.

Thinking of this, he greeted the craftsman inside, and then went straight to the clothing store with the warm silver in his pocket.
