Qin Anming couldn't stand to see her like this. He felt so distressed that his eyes turned red instantly.

He hurried forward a few steps, patted her on the back, and whispered, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's not talk about it anymore~"

Xiaoguo felt even more upset seeing him like this. She almost lost her temper at the person who cared so much about her. She was really a bad person.

"Brother, I'm really sorry. I always think about myself and do whatever I want, but I always make you worry."

She was used to being alone and making her own decisions. It was the same in her previous life. She had no brothers, sisters, or close friends, and she lived this way too. But now she almost forgot that she also had a brother who would worry about her and feel sorry for her.

She almost hurt the person who loved her so much. How could she be so bad!

"You have always been a little girl in my heart. I almost forgot that you are a mother now and an adult with your own opinions. I believe that you will definitely think about all the consequences before making a decision, right?"

Qin Anming touched her head with pity and continued, "So, I decided to go with you. Please forgive me for still being worried about you going alone, okay?"

“Woo woo woo…”

Xiaoguo was so happy that she felt like kneeling down. She was so lucky to have such a good brother! !

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Qin Anming didn't care about the difference between men and women, and gently hugged her. At that moment, he once again deeply realized that she was so tall, and she was really not the little girl who was missing a tooth and was heartbroken for a long time...

Xiaoguo leaned in his arms, wishing she could slap herself to death for having an erection and glaring at him just now. Such a good brother, she couldn't find him even with a lantern.

Seeing that she was crying even harder, Qin Anming hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand to pick her up.

"Uh... huh?"

Xiaoguo, who was crying hard, opened her tearful eyes and the tears instantly came back. Did she ascend into the air?

Qin Anming lifted her up and threw her down three times in a row, saying awkwardly, "Fly high~"

“…”

When Xiaoguo was put down, he was still a little dazed.

Qin Anming didn't dare to look her in the eye. He rubbed his cheek awkwardly and said, "When you were a little kid and cried so cutely, this is what Dad did to make you stop crying."

Xiaoguo was stunned after hearing this. Is it such a coincidence?

She also loved crying when she was little, and her father would pick her up and say the same thing.

Could it be that all fathers in the world tease their children in this way and it’s just a coincidence?

"I'm going to ask Ruyi for leave now, and we'll go together the day after tomorrow."

Without giving her time to hesitate, Qin Anming patted her head and walked past her towards Ruyi's room behind him.

Xiaoguo turned around and wanted to call him, but when she saw his determined back, she kept silent.

Then he chuckled and said, "Let us go together. Otherwise, if he can't see me, he will probably be more worried."

It is such a blessing to have such a moment to think about my brother. Unfortunately, I was an only child in my previous life and did not have the chance to enjoy it.

After leaving the noodle shop, Xiaoguo came to Kong Fuzi's house. Today happened to be the day to pick up Zhuangzhuang and take him home.

She was afraid that the little guy would continue to sit on the small bench waiting for her, so she didn't delay at all and went there as soon as the morning class was over.

They arrived at the right time. As soon as Zhuangzhuang packed his small bag and came out, he saw Xiaoguo waiting in the house.

"Mom, you're here so early today~"

As he spoke, he smiled and rushed over to hug her. He missed his mother so much after not seeing her for a few days.

"Zhuangzhuang, mother wants to ask you something. Shall we go to the capital to find your father?"

"Looking for dad? Really?!"

Zhuangzhuang looked at her in disbelief.

Xiaoguo nodded, "That's right, we'll come back after the New Year."

Zhuangzhuang was sad some time ago because his father did not come home for the Spring Festival. He never expected that his mother would take him to see his father. It’s really great.

Mrs. Kong was watching the two of them with a smile on her face. Xiaoguo had just said this to her, and she agreed very much. Isn't the Spring Festival a day for family reunion? Her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren would also come over to accompany them.

"Let's go ask Confucius for leave again."

Xiaoguo was about to take Zhuangzhuang to find Master Kong, but Mrs. Kong stopped her and said to her puzzled look.

"Just sit and wait. He will be here soon."

After class, Confucius would tidy up his desk by himself, putting everything back in its place, keeping it clean and tidy.

Zhuangzhuang was also subtly influenced. Normally, he paid great attention to neatness, and now it was even more so.

After tidying up the study, Mr. Kong went to the hall immediately as Mrs. Kong expected.

"What are you having for lunch?"

The sound came before I even entered the door.

Confucius was stunned and his face hidden under his beard turned red. Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoguo had not left yet.

Mrs. Kong smiled and said, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

Confucius sat down beside his wife with his hands and feet together. He looked at a few people embarrassedly, especially at Zhuangzhuang. His image as a teacher collapsed instantly...

Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang laughed secretly. It turned out that the daily communication between the old couple of the Kong family was to give food. It was so cute.

After telling Confucius the reason, he successfully got the vacation.

Zhuangzhuang learned that they would not be spending the Spring Festival at home, so he wished his parents a happy New Year in advance.

After leaving, Xiao Guo felt that she still had to say goodbye to Shu Botong. She had originally planned to take him home to spend the Spring Festival together since he was at home.

Now that they left, they were not worried that he would be lonely, because Ruyi would definitely ask him to stay with her.

Although the two of them always quarreled when they met, they both regarded each other as friends in their hearts, and the little quarrels between friends were harmless.

"What?! You're going to the capital?!"

Shu Botong's reaction was no less than Qin Anming's.

Xiaoguo's ears hurt from the shock he caused. He rubbed his ears uncomfortably and said, "Yes."

"It's almost the Spring Festival, and it's not peaceful outside, so you'd better not go."

Shu Botong's words were exactly the same as Qin Anming's. Xiao Guo was a little confused. Is it so uneasy outside recently? Why are so many people saying the same thing?

"There are also robberies on the official roads?"

"Who knows. With the Spring Festival approaching, the people on the mountain should be preparing to raise money for the New Year."

Shu Botong put it very tactfully. These days, people who can't afford to eat resort to robbery. It's best for women not to go out. It's too unsafe.

"I'll just be careful, and my brother will go with me, so it's okay."

You have to be careful when you go out. Xiaoguo thought that she still has the ring space. If she encounters bandits, she will pull everyone into the ring space to ensure that the bandits cannot find them.

But we'll have to wait and see how serious the situation is, otherwise it'll be hard to explain where they went.

Xiaoguo was fearless and no one could persuade him. Seeing this, Shu Botong could only shut up. However, his eyes were rolling around and no one knew what he was thinking.

–

The next day.

Xiaoguo and her family arrived at the post station in a horse-drawn carriage from the village to the county. After paying the money and getting off the carriage, she found a few people waving at her at the door of the post station.

"You three..."

Xiaoguo almost dropped the bag on her shoulders. Who could tell her what these people meant?

"Little Fruit~"

"Hi~ Sister Xiaoguo, let's go to the capital together~"

"Don't even think about leaving me behind."

Qin Anming saw Xiaoguo first and greeted her. Ruyi beside her also waved to her happily. Shu Botong put on his bag and raised his eyebrows at her.

The appearance of these three people really caught her off guard.

By the time she reacted, the group was already sitting on the carriage.

"You guys want to go too?!"

Xiaoguo put down his bag and looked helplessly at the two people who were laughing and talking happily.

Ruyi and Shu Botong nodded together and said, "Of course!"

"What about the store?"

What about the noodle shop and the two-story building? !
