After the ingredients were cut, Xiaoguo didn't rush to cook. After all, the bone soup would take some time to prepare, so she took this opportunity to boil the Chinese medicine.

It takes an hour to boil the Chinese medicine. After dinner, my stomach is no longer full, so it’s a good time to take the medicine and then go to sleep.

He brought the medicine stove to the yard, lit the fire and started to boil the medicine. Xiaoguo kept an eye on the temperature. It couldn't be too high or too low, just the right temperature. At the same time, he also had to make sure it didn't get burnt.

After Xiaoguo boiled the medicine, she returned to the kitchen and started making carrot cakes.

Chop the carrot into shreds, add flour and salt, mix well and make a slightly thicker batter.

Pour a proper amount of lard into the pan, then scoop a spoonful of batter into it, spread it evenly, fry one side until it turns golden brown, then turn it over and fry the other side.

Xiaoguo went to check on the medicine stove during the process. When she came back, the cake was cooked. Xiaoguo picked it up and put it on a plate. The cake had been soaked in lard and turned golden yellow. The surface was crispy and full of fragrance.

Xiaoguo put all the cakes on the plate, and Zhuangzhuang came over at this time.

"Mom, the chickens and ducks laid five more eggs today."

Zhuangzhuang skillfully put the chicken eggs and duck eggs into the baskets respectively. Xiaoguo tilted his body to take a look. The chickens and ducks had laid a lot of eggs during this period of time. Look, both baskets were almost full.

Xiaoguo handed the cake to Zhuangzhuang and asked him to take it into the house. Zhuangzhuang washed his hands and went back to the house with the chopsticks and bowl.

Slice the pork belly, cut the celery into sections and blanch it. Heat the pot, add the pork belly and stir-fry until oil comes out. Add chopped green onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the blanched celery and stir-fry. Add salt when it’s time to serve.

Zhuangzhuang came over and carried the dishes back to the house. Xiaoguo took the bone soup down, but Zhuangzhuang couldn't carry it, so Xiaoguo carried it back to the house himself.

Back in the kitchen, Xiaoguo thought that since she had saved a lot of eggs, she might as well fry some more. So she took three eggs and two duck eggs, beat them together, and stir-fried them in a pan.

Carrying a plate of scrambled eggs back to the house, Zhuangzhuang happened to be helping Qin Anming out.

"Let's eat."

Xiao Guo first served Qin Anming a bowl of soup, "Brother, a bowl of soup before dinner!"

Qin Anming took it, blew gently on it, and when it cooled down a little, he put it into his mouth. After taking a sip of the soup, Qin Anming's eyes lit up.

“This soup smells so good!”

Qin Anming praised, how can I describe this soup, fragrant, fresh and smooth! These three words can summarize this soup.

Zhuangzhuang also took the soup that Xiaoguo had served him, blew on it, and took a sip of the soup. Like his uncle, his eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed in praise.

"Even if the drink is good, you can't drink too much, and you can't eat too much at dinner."

Xiaoguo instructed the two of them, and the one big and one small nodded to show that they understood, but they didn't look up at Xiaoguo. Xiaoguo smiled helplessly and let them do as they pleased.

After dinner, Zhuangzhuang went to wash the dishes. Xiaoguo went to check the medicine stove first. After everything was fine, he returned to the house and looked at Qin Anming who was still sitting in the main room.

"Brother, wait a moment, I'll make the bed for you."

Qin Anming nodded, "I'll work with you."

Xiao Guo stopped him and pulled him back to sit, "Sit down, it will be ready soon."

Qin Anming sat back helplessly, watching Xiaoguo making the bed for him, secretly feeling emotional in his heart. In the blink of an eye, Xiaoguo has really grown up. He still remembers that he washed her hands and face. Such a small child has become so powerful without her noticing. All day today, he watched Xiaoguo busying around, managing everything in an orderly manner. The child he raised is also a good role model! It turns out that the little child back then can now support a family...

"elder brother!"

After Xiaoguo made the bed, she came out and saw Qin Anming sitting on a stool in a trance. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes a few times.

Qin Anming came back to his senses, looked at Xiaoguo's puzzled eyes, lowered his head and laughed out loud.

"I know it's because I'm getting older, I like to reminisce more and more about the past."

"What? You're only 23! You're still young!"

Xiaoguo snorted, her tone quite nonchalant, but then she remembered that in ancient times, women could talk about their husband's family when they danced with a spoon, and they were basically married after they reached the age of 15.

The situation is similar for men. Other men of Qin Anming's age are basically fathers of children aged six or seven.

Even she herself was married to Jiang Shanhe when she just came of age. When she was in her prime, she was just a jade-like girl.

Xiaoguo didn't know how to change her words, so she stuck out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed.

Qin Anming heard Xiaoguo's words, chuckled and shook his head, "It's the prime of life!"

Xiaoguo echoed, "Yes! It's the prime of life!"

The two smiled at each other, and Xiaoguo helped Qin Anming back into the house.

Sitting on the warm bed, Qin Anming felt as if he was sitting in the sunshine. It had been a long time since he smelled this smell. He was busy with eating every day and had no time to take care of his home. The bedding had not been dried for a long time and was filled with a cold and damp smell.

Qin Anming lowered his head and covered his moist eyes.

"I'll go get you some medicine."

Xiaoguo said this to him and walked out without noticing anything unusual about Qin Anming.

Qin Anming wiped away his tears and lay down on the bed. He thought he would grow old alone. No! He might not live to see old age.

I really didn’t expect that I could still be with my family. This feeling is really great!

After a while, Xiaoguo came into the house with the boiled medicine. Afraid that he would find it bitter, she asked Zhuangzhuang to go to the kitchen to get some sugar.

Qin Anming initially felt that Xiaoguo looked down on him. How could a grown man like him be afraid of hardship?

With this thought in mind, Qin Anming raised his hand and the medicine went into his stomach. He put down the bowl and looked at Xiaoguo stubbornly. One second, two seconds, three seconds passed...

Zhuangzhuang was standing by, and when he saw this, he seized the opportunity and stuffed the candy into Qin Anming's mouth.

Xiaoguo was watching from the side. Qin Anming was indifferent at first, but three seconds later, he was crying bitterly, and then he made some bold and arrogant movements, which made Xiaoguo laugh out loud.

This melon! Really! Cute.

It might be the effect of the medicine. Qin Anming felt drowsy after a while. Xiaoguo covered him with a quilt and gently closed the window, leaving only a gap. One needs to sweat to get better after catching a cold, so the window should be closed to prevent catching a cold after sweating again.

He carried Zhuangzhuang back to the house, took a bowl and poured a glass of water, and asked Zhuangzhuang to place it gently in front of his uncle's bed. Before leaving, Xiaoguo put a stool there for him to drink water in case he woke up thirsty in the middle of the night.

Zhuangzhuang obediently carried the water over, and Xiaoguo made the bed and folded the quilt.

When Zhuangzhuang came back, Xiaoguo took out a book and asked him if he still wanted to study. Xiaoguo had no time today, and Zhuangzhuang had not rested either, so he didn't learn to read.

Seeing Zhuangzhuang nod, Xiaoguo secretly felt happy. This kid is quite studious. Hmm! Unlike me!

"Then we won't learn new words tonight because of time constraints. Let's start reviewing from the first word!"

Zhuangzhuang carefully took out a pen and paper, and Xiaoguo flipped through the book, from the page with the bookmark to the first chapter. Xiaoguo was surprised that he had already learned so much!

The thickness of the hand cannot be underestimated. Time flies!

Xiaoguo sighed for a moment, then looked into Zhuangzhuang's serious eyes and began to ask questions...
