Xiaoguo first took out the remaining half bag of lime and wanted to dump it into the yard, but there was grain drying in the yard and he was afraid that the lime would get into the grain.

Xiaoguo could only put the grain away first. After being exposed to the sun for so many days, the corn and wheat had probably been dried up, so there was no need to worry about them going bad if they were put away.

Zhuangzhuang helped hold the bag, and Xiaoguo shoveled the dried food into it, tied the bags with ropes, and moved them to one side of the kitchen, where they stacked up the bags. Fortunately, Xiaoguo didn't fill the bags full, otherwise he wouldn't be able to lift them.

Zhuangzhuang couldn't move it, so he could only follow Xiaoguo worriedly, supporting the sack from behind. Although he couldn't move it, he could hold it from behind.

Xiaoguo also didn't let Zhuangzhuang get up, even though the little force behind Zhuangzhuang couldn't help at all, but for the sake of Zhuangzhuang and not to make him sad, Xiaoguo pretended to be very helpful with a relaxed expression on his face.

After the dry grains were collected, there was only a little left on the ground, including some wheat and corn.

Xiaoguo spread them out and laid them out so that the sunlight could fully shine on every grain.

Bring the lime back, pour it on the ground away from the grain, use a shovel to scoop a hole in the middle, pour water into the middle, slowly stir it evenly, and mix it into cement lime.

While Xiaoguo was mixing the lime, Zhuangzhuang had already gone to move the bricks by himself. The two bricks were very heavy, so Zhuangzhuang moved them one by one.

"Zhuang Zhuang, take a break."

Xiaoguo held a basin filled with lime in her hand. She turned her head and looked at Zhuangzhuang who was working non-stop. She felt a little worried because it seemed that he was getting more and more energetic as he worked.

"It's okay, Mom. I'm tired and I'll rest."

Zhuangzhuang didn't even turn his head, and answered Xiaoguo in a grunting voice, without stopping his feet and hands.

Xiaoguo carried the lime to the place where the stove was going to be built. The stove was going to be built next to the wall next to the kitchen. Xiaoguo put down the lime, picked up a lump of earth, squatted on the ground and drew the lines of the stove base. This time Xiaoguo planned to make a larger square, and build three of the four sides with brick walls, leaving the front side to fill with firewood.

After drawing the lines, first put a layer of lime on the lines, and then lay bricks neatly on the lime, first laying a layer of bricks to make a square shape.

Then lay out the cement and bricks layer by layer, checking to see if they are crooked. If so, straighten them immediately.

After it was about ten layers high, Xiaoguo took one of the iron plates he had bought and placed it on top.

The size and internal dimensions were just right, so Xiaoguo sealed the iron plate around with lime and used the remaining three iron plates to stand upright on the left, right and top.

Then seal the surrounding area with lime, arrange bricks on top, and fill the remaining space with lime and bricks.

On the existing foundation, two layers of lime and bricks were added.

Xiaoguo checked all around and found that except for a smoke exhaust hole that was left specially, all other places were sealed. The oven was now completed.

Xiaoguo saw that there was still some lime left at the bottom of the basin, so he used a small shovel to dig at the bottom of the basin. After digging it out, he smeared it on the stove, trying to ensure that the lime was not wasted.

"Mom, can we bake mooncakes now?"

Zhuangzhuang squatted aside and looked at Xiaoguo curiously.

"Not yet, because it still needs to dry."

Xiaoguo spoke slowly, smearing lime on his hands carefully.

Done! Xiao Guo exhaled, looked at the oven with a smile on his face, it was finally done! Don't think it's simple, it's really hard to make it!

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhuangzhuang wisely went to get water for Xiaoguo. Xiaoguo heard Zhuangzhuang's call and asked him to go wash his hands.

Xiaoguo responded and said right away!

After saying that, he turned around and began to pick up the remaining bricks and cement basins, putting them back in their proper places.

Zhuangzhuang once again urged Xiaoguo to wash his hands, and Xiaoguo was helpless.

Zhuangzhuang's tone and movements at this moment are an obvious copy of the way Xiaoguo usually asks him to wash his hands, and he imitated it so vividly!

Xiaoguo put the basin down and smiled helplessly. There was really nothing he could do!

"My lady, wash your hands quickly. Are you ready? Hurry up."

"Shut up!"

There was no murderous tone in the voice and Zhuangzhuang was not afraid at all. However, he decided to quit while he was ahead and grinned in a flattering manner, showing his little white teeth.

Xiaoguo knocked him on the head, but not with much force.

But Zhuangzhuang still pretended to cry out "ouch", and Xiaoguo calmly washed his hands amid his wailing.

Apparently, Zhuangzhuang has played this trick several times in recent days. Xiaoguo went from being fooled in the beginning to being able to face it calmly now.

When Xiaoguo's patience reached its limit, Zhuangzhuang stopped wailing and pretended nothing had happened. He obediently handed Xiaoguo a towel, wiped her hands, and poured her some water.

Xiao Guo laughed angrily, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Zhuang Zhuang's smiling face, "Little Jiang Qingwen."

"mother!"

Zhuangzhuang's whole body trembled, his eyes instantly filled with tears, and his mouth turned upside down, as if to say, "If you scold me, I will cry."

Xiaoguo felt helpless and didn't know what Zhuangzhuang was trying to do.

This time, I was not going to let Zhuangzhuang pass me by. Even though my heart was already soft as a mess, I didn’t show it on my face and looked at Zhuangzhuang seriously.

Zhuangzhuang saw that his usual tactics were useless, so he withstood Xiaoguo's 200,000-volt attack and spoke quietly.

"Mom, I miss my uncle..."

Zhuangzhuang hasn't seen his uncle these days and he feels very sad. He has a lot of things to say to his uncle.

Xiao Guo was stunned, it turned out to be like this...

That's right, I clearly promised Zhuangzhuang that I would take him to see Qin Anming whenever I had nothing to do, but I actually forgot about it and didn't take it seriously...

This is really wrong. Xiao Guo came to her senses and looked at Zhuang Zhuang, "Mom will take you to see your uncle tomorrow, okay?"

Zhuangzhuang's disappointment was wiped away, and the joy on his face almost flashed to his eyes, but then he felt a little jealous. Could it be that as a mother, I am not as good as an uncle...

Xiaoguo knew Zhuangzhuang's feelings for Qin Anming, and she felt relieved and didn't care about this little thing.

On the contrary, it is important to plan to take Zhuangzhuang to see Qin Anming tomorrow!

I don’t know if you have finished eating the popcorn or whether you like it. I can make some more and bring it over.

Xiaoguo slapped his head and said, "Oh! I can take the corn kernels with me and cook them when I get there!"

In the evening, Zhuangzhuang knew that he would go to see his uncle the next day. Before going to bed, he was still choosing clothes, thinking about what to wear to see his uncle.

Xiaoguo was lying on the bed, looking at Zhuangzhuang on the ground, and teased, "If I didn't know, I would have thought you were going to meet a little girl."

Although Zhuangzhuang is small, he still knows that Xiaoguo is teasing him again. He puts down his clothes, throws himself onto the bed coquettishly, and snuggles into Xiaoguo's arms.

"Mother~"

Xiaoguo saw him coming over and seized the opportunity to lift the quilt, and Zhuangzhuang fell into the quilt. Xiaoguo then covered him with the quilt, and Zhuangzhuang was covered inside.

Zhuangzhuang was rolling around in the quilt while laughing, and Xiaoguo was sitting beside him, laughing so hard that he almost got a stitch in the side.
