The next morning, Xiaoguo opened his eyes early, got out of bed, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

This morning's breakfast was prepared by Xiaoguo with extra care and was also extra rich.

The staple food is millet porridge, lean meat pancakes, fried eggs, cold spinach, and spicy and sour potato shreds.

Zhuangzhuang and Qin Anming got up after smelling the fragrance. They greeted Xiaoguo, and Xiaoguo responded by asking them to wash their hands and have dinner!

Xiaoguo knew that the two of them slept very late last night. Because they could be heard whispering even very late, he let them sleep a little longer in the morning.

Qin Anming came in first, sat at the table, and helped Xiaoguo serve porridge.

"Xiaoguo, this shed you built is really authentic!"

As soon as I washed my hands, I saw that the roof of the cattle shed and the feeding trough outside had been completed. I took a special look at them and they looked really good!

Xiao Guo smiled and said, "I had nothing to do yesterday, so I did it with Zhuang Zhuang."

Zhuangzhuang also came in at this time, jumping and sitting on the stool, "Mom was so awesome yesterday!"

Xiao Guo handed him the bowl and smiled. Qin Anming also smiled and looked at Zhuang Zhuang who had a proud look on his face. "Yes, yes, your mother is always amazing!"

Zhuangzhuang laughed out loud.

The three of them ate breakfast happily, as if the separation was still a long way off...

Xiaoguo drove the donkey cart, and Zhuangzhuang and Qin Anming sat in the donkey cart. Soon they arrived at the county. Today was not a market, but there were still shops selling bedding. Xiaoguo went inside and bought a complete set, including a pillow, a quilt, and a mattress.

When we arrived at the noodle shop, Ruyi had been waiting at the door with a frown on her face. Only when she saw Xiaoguo's donkey cart did she relax her brows and smile.

"Sister Xiaoguo! Brother Anming! So strong!"

Xiaoguo greeted her in the same way, Zhuangzhuang also greeted her obediently, and Qin Anming also nodded.

After tying up the donkey cart, Ruyi took Qin Anming's bag and led the three of them to the backyard, talking to Xiaoguo along the way.

"Sister Xiaoguo, look at this, I cleaned it up last night, what do you think?"

Ruyi opened the door, revealing the true appearance inside.

The room was spacious and bright, fully furnished, and the bed was covered with a brand new mattress. Xiaoguo was touched by her attentiveness and praised her repeatedly.

Ruyi put down her bag, feeling a little embarrassed, and said it was nothing.

Xiaoguo took the bedding out of the bag and put it in the cupboard, then put the clothes on the bed and let him clean up by himself.

Xiaoguo talked to Ruyi for a long time. Knowing that they still had things to do today, Xiaoguo did not disturb them. He said goodbye to them and went back in the donkey cart.

Watching the donkey cart go away, Qin Anming's eyes were full of reluctance and his nose was sour. Ruyi saw that he was in a bad mood, so she made an excuse to leave first and asked him to pack up and go out later.

Qin Anming accepted her kindness and returned to the room. He saw the bundle on the bed, walked over to open it, and prepared to tidy it up first. As soon as he opened it, a red bag caught his attention.

Qin Anming opened it with trembling fingers, and inside was the fifty taels of silver left by Xiaoguo.

Qin Anming's eyes were filled with tears and he finally couldn't help crying.

Zhuangzhuang, nestling in Xiaoguo's arms, turned around to look at his uncle's figure getting farther and farther away. He felt a little sad. He raised his head to look at Xiaoguo's profile as he was seriously trying to catch the bus, and called out in a soft voice.

"Mother~"

Xiaoguo lowered her head to look at Zhuangzhuang, kissed his cheek, and consoled him, "It's okay, Zhuangzhuang. We'll come over when the noodle shop opens in two days."

Zhuangzhuang then smiled and nodded heavily in response!

Seeing that it was not the road leading out of the county town, Zhuangzhuang curiously asked Xiaoguo where they were going. Xiaoguo told Zhuangzhuang that their mother was going to buy some things and would come back after that.

Zhuangzhuang followed Xiaoguo to the destination, "Mom, what are we buying here?"

Xiaoguo tied up the donkey cart, picked up Zhuangzhuang and led him into the house. As they walked, he said to him, "Come here and buy some sawdust."

Zhuangzhuang looked doubtful, wondering what the purpose of buying sawdust was.

Xiaoguo raised her eyebrows at him and didn't tell him in detail. She would tell him in detail when she got home later.

She arrived at the door and knocked. After a while, a little head popped out. It was Xiaoguo, who seemed to have some impression of her.

"Oh! It's you again. Are you here to buy wood again?"

The place Xiaoguo came to was the place where he bought wood last time, and the person who came was the son of the family who opened the door for Xiaoguo last time.

Zhuangzhuang looked curiously at the little boy in front of him who looked about the same as him. How did he know his mother?

The little boy opened the door and let Xiaoguo in, with Zhuangzhuang following closely behind.

The little boy wanted to close the door after Xiaoguo entered, but he didn't expect that there was another little boy following him!

Zhuangzhuang looked at him, and he looked at Zhuangzhuang. Their eyes met, and the two little men's eyes were full of scrutiny and curiosity about each other.

Xiaoguo glanced at the two of them and called out "Zhuangzhuang". Zhuangzhuang then came to his senses and followed Xiaoguo closely, coming to the yard with her.

The little boy ran into the house and called out his parents. When Xiaoguo saw them, she first greeted them and then told them what she wanted. Unexpectedly, after Xiaoguo said that, the man filled a bag for Xiaoguo and stuffed it into her arms. Just as Xiaoguo was about to take out money, the man's wife stopped her.

"The sawdust is free. It's useless. You'll just throw it away if you keep it. Just take it away!"

How could Xiaoguo take it for free? He had to give her money no matter what, but the woman refused to take it.

"I really don't charge you! This is just something I threw away, why would I charge you for it?"

The woman said this seriously and stuffed the money Xiaoguo had stuffed into her back.

Seeing this, Xiaoguo gave up. The couple were stubborn and said they didn't want to watch it, but they really didn't want to. Xiaoguo had no choice but to put the money away and thank them repeatedly.

Zhuangzhuang stood with Xiaoguo at first, but when Xiaoguo was talking, the little boy who was seen at the beginning slowly approached Zhuangzhuang and asked cautiously, "What's your name?"

There was a hint of shyness in his tone, as if he was talking to a kid of the same age for the first time.

Zhuangzhuang was startled by his sudden voice. He turned around and saw that it was him. He introduced himself confidently, "My name is Jiang Qingwen, my nickname is Zhuangzhuang, what's yours?"

After the little boy knew Zhuangzhuang's name, he introduced himself generously, "My name is Tang Yi! My nickname is Xiao Yi!"

After the two children introduced themselves to each other, they quickly became friends. While Xiaoguo was talking, Xiaoyi took Zhuangzhuang to the side and introduced him to his number one friend, a yellow pastoral dog.

"Look, his name is Xiaohu!"

When Zhuangzhuang heard the name and looked at the puppy lying on the ground with its tongue hanging out, what was its name? Xiaohu, the same as Xiaohu? !

Seeing Zhuangzhuang's face full of doubts, he thought he had not explained it clearly, so he repeated the name again. Zhuangzhuang listened to it twice, and when he was about to say it for the third time, he finally responded and blocked his voice from saying it again.

"Okay, I heard it clearly. My family also has many friends. They are called Big Black, Little White, Ben Ben, Fatty, Little Chicken, Little Duck, and Donkey!"

Xiao Yi listened to him counting the names on his fingers as if he was counting the treasures on his back, and a trace of envy slowly appeared in his eyes. He has so many...

Zhuangzhuang clearly sensed his emotions, so he made an agreement with him, "I'll invite you to my house when I have time and introduce you to them! How about that?"

Xiao Yi was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement!
