386 Handso Man
After Mrs. Yang left, Xiaoguo stood alone in front of the cows. She looked at the cows, who had unknowingly grown so big. She couldn’t help but miss the ti when they were still calves.
It was so nice back then. Just a handful of grass was sufficient as a al for them. Now, she had to use a cart to bring food for them.
Now that they were so tall, they had an even bigger appetite. Not to ntion that there could be a baby calf growing in the belly. If that was the case, how many carts of grass would she have to pull?
“Sigh…”
Xiaoguo couldn’t help but worry about her future as a nanny. In the future, she would be spending her ti cutting grass or making her way to cut grass for them.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoguo’s guess was spot on. In the next year, Xiaoguo had no ti to rest at all. She actually broke through several pairs of shoes. Fortunately, with the help of Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu, she managed to save two pairs of shoes. With the girls around, the many trips she had to make beca slightly more bearable.
But let’s leave this for another ti.

Xiaoguo, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, sat alone at the table and started writing the letter attentively. She had planned to write the letter when she got ho, but there was so slight delay.
She wondered if Jiang Danhe had arrived in the capital safely.
It was a little late to send this letter. She hoped that Jiang Danhe would not take offense…
Xiaoguo thought to herself with a smile. It had been so long since she had sent him a letter. He was most probably feeling upset over this. After all, she had promised to write a letter to inform him when they reached ho.
She must comfort Jiang Danhe properly.
After writing down the last word, Xiaoguo put down her brush and blew on the ink.
While tidying up, she realized that she had unknowingly written three full pages. However, she felt that it was not enough. There were still many things she wanted to share with him.
At the thought of this, Xiaoguo was stunned. So that was how much she missed him.
It was said that sharing was the best way for two people to express their love. It was the sa for Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe.
At this mont, there was the sound of soone waking up in Qin Anming and Zhuang Zhuang’s room. When Xiaoguo heard this, she quickly put the letter into an envelope. When she sends Zhuang Zhuang and Qin Anming to the county tomorrow, she will drop the letter off at the courier station.
The next morning.
Xiaoguo and the other two set off for the county.
Qin Anming had to get to work before the morning rush hour and Zhuang Zhuang had to attend his morning classes.
A busy day had begun, but that was soone else’s day. Other than a trip to the county, Xiaoguo had no other plans.
“Brother, we’re leaving.”
“You go ahead. I’ll go back in two days.”
“Yes, yes, I understand.”
Xiaoguo handed him the bundle in her hand and watched him go in before leaving.
“Mother…”
Just as they were about to reach Mr. Kong’s house, Zhuang Zhuang suddenly shook her arm.
“Yes, why?”
Xiaoguo gave him a strange look and secretly tried to guess the reason.
“I’ll also be back in a day or two.”
“Why are you coming back?”
“To rest of course. Otherwise, why is Uncle going back?”
Xiaoguo had to give it to him for his confidence. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Who told you that your uncle is coming back to rest? Besides, you have school. You’ll only co back in five days.”
“Well… then why is Uncle coming back?”
Zhuang Zhuang leaned towards Xiaoguo’s face pitifully and asked in a childish voice.
Xiaoguo pushed his face away rcilessly and said, “Your uncle is back to harvest the grains. Are you doing that too?”
“Sure, sure…”
Xiaoguo thought that Zhuang Zhuang would drop the subject. She didn’t expect him to be so enthusiastic when she ntioned harvesting.
“I want to help with the harvesting. I’m already a big child. I can help you with the farm work.”
Zhuang Zhuang straightened his back and said in naivety. In fact, he was about to say that he was already an adult, but he didn’t have the confidence to say it. After all, he knew that he was still far from being an adult.
“It’s okay. Your uncle and I can finish working in half a day.”
“I don’t want you and Uncle to tire yourselves out…”
Zhuang Zhuang’s tone at this mont was giving her goosebumps.
Xiaoguo looked at Zhuang Zhuang suspiciously. “Why is he behaving like Xiaoyi right now?”
“Mother…”
“…” Xiaoguo looked at Zhuang Zhuang hesitantly. After thinking for a while, she said, “Zhuang Zhuang, if you want to act cute, you have to smile first.”
Zhuang Zhuang’s serious face was cracking at a steady pace. That’s right, how could he forget about the smile that Xiaoyi had ntioned…
As they spoke, they arrived at Mr. Kong’s house. Xiaoguo stopped the donkey cart and carried his bag with one hand. Using her other hand, she helped him down the carriage.
“Zhuang Zhuang, study well. Mother will pick you up in five days.”
“Okay!”
Xiaoguo nodded and praised him with a smile. “Good boy.”
Zhuang Zhuang understood that the most important thing for him now was to study. As long as he behaved and focused on his studies, it was the best way he could lighten the burden on his mother’s shoulders.
It was better to wait another year to help with the farm work. By then, he would definitely be big and tall. He would help share his mother’s burden when the ti cos.
...
After sending him in, Xiaoguo said goodbye before leaving.
She rushed to the courier station and delivered the letter just in ti. After watching the courier put the letter away, she felt completely relieved.
Once the letter was sent out, she only had to wait for its delivery. She hoped that it wouldn’t reach him too late. She also hoped that Jiang Danhe could remain calm and not get anxious. She really didn’t an to forget about writing the letter, it was just that she rembered it a little late…
When she returned ho, she saw Mrs. Yang sitting alone at the door, sighing. She was holding a small sour pear and there was a pear core at her feet.
Mrs. Yang could recognize the sound of Xiaoguo’s donkey hooves even with her eyes closed. Before Xiaoguo had co to a complete stop, Mrs. Yang patted her butt and stood up excitedly. “Xiaoguo, you’re back…”
“Yes, are you waiting for ?”
Actually, it was unnecessary for Xiaoguo to ask. After all, Mrs. Yang had been coming over everyday recently.
“Hehe, I’m waiting for you!”
Mrs. Yang followed her into the house and said, “Earlier on, there were two carriages parked outside your house looking for you.”
“When was that?”
“It was just a while ago.”
...
“At that ti, I happened to be waiting for you outside your house when the two carriages ca. They looked very expensive. The man who got out of the carriage was also incredibly good-looking, just like your Danhe. However, he appears more delicate and refined than Danhe. He had a unique charm about him.”
Mrs. Yang was thinking hard, finding a word to describe him. She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and clapped her hands. “By the way, the words elegant and gentlemanly best describe him. He was wearing a white robe and waving a small fan in his hand. He looked so suave…”
“That’s a keen observation.”
Xiaoguo teased Mrs. Yang with a smile. Out of five sentences, four were praising his good looks. After listening for a long ti, she knew that the person looking for her was a good-looking man.
“Hey, who said that? I also know that one of them is called Jia Bao.”
Mrs. Yang was feeling indignant and quickly told Xiaoguo the last clue she knew.
“Jia Bao?!”
When Xiaoguo heard the na, she knew who had co.
That’s right. He was as gentle as jade. Although he looked like a scholar, he was extrely dark on the inside. Other than Shopkeeper Su, there was no one else who matched this description.
“Did they say anything when they were here?”
Mrs. Yang swore not to be looked down upon by Xiaoguo. Trying her best to disregard the man’s appearance, she carefully recalled the scene earlier.
“Yes… they didn’t say anything else. They just asked
when you would be back. I told them that it was hard to say. They said that they would co back tomorrow before leaving.”
Xiaoguo nodded. She was filled with admiration for Su Changsheng. This cow had just gotten pregnant with a calf, and he had co to visit right on ti.
If not for the fact that there were no hidden caras in this era, she would have thought that the other party had secretly installed one in her cowshed. Otherwise, how could his timing be so accurate?
An unscrupulous rchant was indeed an unscrupulous rchant. He would never miss out on any opportunity to earn money.
Xiaoguo was really impressed by this man. “No wonder he is rich. No wonder he is such a rich man. No wonder he is so successful.”
There was a reason for everything.
“How do you know that handso man?”
“I know him, but not very well.”
Xiaoguo was really worried about doing business with him. She wasn’t as smart as him. Although she had so ideas in mind, it was likely that he might not take them seriously.
