When Zhuangzhuang heard this, he jumped up happily and was very happy that he could help his mother.
Xiao Guo turned his head and looked at the sky. He didn't know what time it was. The sun had just risen high in the sky. Xiao Guo turned his head and looked at Zhuang Zhuang and asked tentatively, "Zhuang Zhuang, do you know what time it is now?"
Xiaoguo didn't think Zhuangzhuang could give an answer, so she just asked tentatively. However, Zhuangzhuang glanced at the sun and said, "It's two quarters past the hour of Si now."
Xiao Guo looked at Zhuang Zhuang in surprise, "How do you know so precisely?"
"When mom went out, I was scared to be alone at home, so I looked at the sun and counted how long it would take for mom to come back." Zhuangzhuang answered casually, but Xiaoguo felt a little unimpressed. The original owner used to go out before dawn when others were still asleep to look for food. Those who went out early were likely to find more. Zhuangzhuang, who was still young at that time, couldn't find his mother when he woke up, so he counted the hours by himself.
Xiaoguo squatted down and kept her eyes on Zhuangzhuang, and assured him firmly, "Son, I will take you with me wherever I go in the future!"
Sure enough, when Zhuangzhuang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Really?"
"Yes! Really!"
"Mom! I love you the most, I love you the most!" Zhuangzhuang hugged Xiaoguo and rocked her to express his joy and excitement.
Xiaoguo held Zhuangzhuang in his arms and thought right. Zhuangzhuang was too insecure before. He was so young and couldn't see his mother when he opened his eyes. He must be scared to be alone at home. He always said that he could help his mother with housework. It was just to tell his mother that she would have to take care of him in the future and he could help her share the burden.
It was still early, and looking at the barren vegetable garden, Xiaoguo thought about planting some vegetables. He couldn't always rely on the things in the space to survive. Although there were a lot of seasonings in it, the edible things were limited after all.
Thinking of this, Xiaoguo felt that he still had to have some money on hand. All the money he had saved before was used for Chiang's mother's funeral. Now he had no money at all. If he wanted to grow vegetables, he didn't know if he had seeds at home.
Xiao Guo was thinking about something when she heard a knock on the door. "Is Jiang's wife home?"
Xiaoguo wondered who it was and opened the door to find out the sound.
"Mrs. Yang?" The person outside the door was Mrs. Yang from next door.
"You are at home. I didn't see you go out all day yesterday, so I wanted to see if something happened." Mrs. Yang looked at Xiaoguo worriedly. All the men in the village were not at home, and the women in the village could take care of each other. She was a little worried because she didn't see Xiaoguo go out to find food for a day. She saw a young person with a child, and she was afraid that something might have happened to the mother and child, so she hurried over to check on them.
Xiao Guo felt warm inside, "I'm fine, I just felt uncomfortable yesterday so I took a day off. I'm fine now."
"That's all." Mrs. Yang breathed a sigh of relief, patted her head and suddenly remembered something, and said happily, "By the way, every household in the village was given a bag of wheat seeds yesterday. I brought it over for you."
As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from the basket and said, "These are sent from the county. The old village chief said that it is disaster relief seeds distributed by households in Beijing to villagers across the country. The natural disaster is over, and people have to live a normal life. Now that the seeds have been delivered, you don't have to worry about food anymore."
Mrs. Yang said as she took things out of the basket. "Take this. I bought it from the county yesterday. And this is what I grew at home. It's not much but it's enough for you to eat for two meals."
Xiao Guo took the bags of things, including a small bag of rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, and two eggs. "No, no, this is too expensive. Sister Yang, I can't take it. You can keep it for yourself. Xiao Hua and Xiao Hu are at home. I can't take it!"
He stuffed things into the basket as he spoke. These things were too precious at that time, when every family was short of food. Moreover, Yang's wife had an old mother and two children at home, so the population was much more crowded than his own.
Mrs. Yang held Xiaoguo's hand and said, "We have two men in our family. We have two taels of silver every month, which is much more comfortable. Moreover, we can now farm. We have more seeds than yours, so we have more money. Take it."
