Chapter 88: Looking for Uncle Translator: Atlas Studios
Editor: Atlas Studios
“Zhuang Zhuang, get up quickly. After breakfast, we will go find Uncle.”
Still deep in slumbers, Zhuang Zhuang groaned and refused to get out of bed. But when he heard the word uncle, he sat up abruptly. That’s right, he was going to see his uncle today!
He jumped off the bed and rummaged through the clothes he was planning to wear.
Zhuang Zhuang mumbled to himself as he searched through the clothes, “This one doesn’t look good. This one is too fancy. This one…”
Looking at Zhuang Zhuang who had not taken a peep at her the mont since he woke up, Xiaoguo snorted and walked out alone to serve breakfast.
In any case, Zhuang Zhuang was already awake. She would serve the rice and leave it to cool so that he wouldn’t feel hot and anxious when he cos in to eat.
However, when Xiaoguo had finished her al, Zhuang Zhuang was still nowhere to be seen. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and got up to check out what he was doing!
“Zhuang Zhuang! Zhuang Zhuang!”
Xiaoguo opened the door to see what was taking him so long.
“Mother, I’m almost done!”
At this mont, Zhuang Zhuang was combing his hair in front of the mirror. He was tying his hair with the headband that Xiaoguo had made.
“Sigh…”
Xiaoguo let out a long sigh. “Why are you dressed so…”
Xiaoguo thought for a long ti but could not co up with the right word. In the end, she used a more appropriate term.
Coquettish…
It was possible that every mother who has a son would have the idea of dressing their child like a girl. At least Xiaoguo did.
So ti ago, when Xiaoguo went to the market with Mrs. Yang, and saw her buying a piece of pink fabric to make clothes for Xiaohua. Xiaoguo followed suit and bought a piece in the sa color.
When she returned, she made a set of clothes for Zhuang Zhuang using the pink fabric. However, Zhuang Zhuang ran away the mont he saw the clothes. He refused to wear them no matter what. Xiaoguo tried to persuade, coax, and threaten him, but she just couldn’t convince him to wear the outfit.
Helpless, Xiaoguo could only give up. She reluctantly stuffed the clothes to the bottom of the cabinet. She had planned to keep them in the cabinet forever, but who would have thought that Zhuang Zhuang would actually take them out and wear them! He was wearing them!!
“Son… you’re… so cute…”
Zhuang Zhuang’s current appearance was poking at Xiaoguo’s heart. He looked totally like a pretty little girl.
He was fair, chubby, and soft. One look and she wanted to take a bite.
This instantly satisfied Xiaoguo’s desire for a daughter.
Just as she was about to hug Zhuang Zhuang and take a few bites, Zhuang Zhuang looked at Xiaoguo’s greedy eyes and asked in confusion, “Mother?”
That was it. Xiaoguo’s thoughts were instantly put to rest. A girl’s appearance and a boy’s voice.
It was so obvious that the kid had the voice of a little boy.
Xiaoguo couldn’t get into character anymore. She said, “Hurry up and co out for breakfast!” Then she left the room.
“Did Mother just co in to show
how fast she could change her face?” Zhuang Zhuang thought to himself, but his hands did not stop moving. He was plaiting his hair thodically. To secure the plait, he used the headband that was made from the sa piece of pink cloth.
Zhuang Zhuang checked his appearance in satisfaction and finally went out for breakfast.
When he ca out, Xiaoguo was already sitting back in her chair with a bowl in her hand. She stirred the contents in the bowl slowly and blew on the steam.
Looking at the lump of pink that walked out, Xiaoguo really couldn’t bear to look directly at it. It was indeed beautiful and cute.
But why did he resist when she asked him to wear the outfit??It was like she wanted his life.
Why did he put it on when he was going to visit Qin Anming?
That’s right. She was being jealous!
Zhuang Zhuang was so focused on seeing his uncle that his usual sensitivity was completely gone. He did not notice Xiaoguo’s occasional glances.
Usually, if there was sothing wrong with Xiaoguo, Zhuang Zhuang would be the first to notice it.
This was great. With Qin Anming around, she was now second place…
She glanced at Zhuang Zhuang a few more tis, but the boy just didn’t sense anything!
Xiaoguo was now driving the donkey cart to look for Qin Anming.
Along the way, Xiaoguo was so busy looking at Zhuang Zhuang that she didn’t notice the few suspicious characters who instantly hid themselves when she ca out of the house.
After she left, one of them took the lead and ca out from behind the grass. He looked at the donkey cart that was leaving and silently tried to rember sothing…
“Alright, co out!”
The man who ca out first could not see much of the donkey cart. He retracted his gaze and reached out his leg in disdain to kick the rest of the n still crouching behind the grass.
“How is it, boss? Did you get a good look?”
The n who got kicked stepped out first. He was dressed in woman’s clothes and had a thick male voice. He brushed away the weeds on his body and asked the other man.
“Yes I did!”
The man who was addressed as boss looked away from his companion in disgust, as if looking at him would hurt his eyes.
He replied firmly. “It’s no joke! I have eyes like a hawk.”
His subordinate smiled shyly, the rouge he was wearing left smudges on his chin.
The rest of the n ca out one after another and surrounded the man.
“Boss, I don’t see the old lady.”
Another person asked, “We’ve received a mission. What do we do now that we’re missing one person?”
Seeing that there was no ti, the leader hesitated for a mont before deciding.
“We’re going back! There’s not enough ti! We’ve got more urgent matters on our hands!”
The boss had made a decision. They were a small unit hidden in the neighboring county. They had to set off for the capital today!
However, before setting off, he received a secret order to visit soone in secret. There was no need to disturb that particular person. He just had to check out how the person was doing.
After receiving the secret order, he rushed to Peach Blossom Village in Yonghai County overnight with a few trusted aides and found the place after asking for directions.
When they found the house, the n hid at the side and waited.
Finally, soone ca out. Although he didn’t get a clear view, ti was tight. He just had to report based on the little information he had gathered!
The few n disappeared without a trace just like how they arrived. Everything returned to normal.
Xiaoguo rushed to the county city with the donkey cart. She arrived just after the restaurant’s peak period in the morning.
At this mont, Qin Anming and the others were taking a short break.
As soon as he sat down, he saw a little girl running into the restaurant. As Qin Anming was behind soone, he couldn’t see the girl’s face clearly.
He thought that it was a child left behind by a guest. Just as he was about to go over and bring her to look for her family…
Uncle Xu touched his eyes and mumbled hesitantly. He squinted at the child and called out with uncertainty.
“Zhuang Zhuang?”
As soon as Uncle Xu spoke, everyone exclaid.
Everyone gathered around and began to chatter about Zhuang Zhuang’s outfit.
Ruyi laughed and ran out of the kitchen. She rubbed and pinched Zhuang Zhuang, who was dressed like a little girl.
Zhuang Zhuang didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with his attire. He smiled and let everyone surround him. One mont, they were rubbing his head, the next mont, soone was patting his buttocks. The next mont, another person was pinching his face.
The boy was so good-tempered that he let everyone pinch and hug him. He widened his eyes and looked around for the person he wanted to see.
“Zhuang Zhuang?”
Qin Anming’s uncertain voice sounded from behind.
When Zhuang Zhuang heard the voice, he turned around and saw Qin Anming.
“Uncle!”
Zhuang Zhuang left the group and ran towards Qin Anming.
Qin Anming picked Zhuang Zhuang up. It was really Zhuang Zhuang!
As usual, he weighed Zhuang Zhuang in his arms to see if he had gained weight.
Xiaoguo arrived slightly later. While she was parking the cart outside and tying up the donkey, Zhuang Zhuang had abandoned her and ran into the restaurant by himself.
She dawdled at the back, thinking sourly that she wasn’t the one he wanted to see anyway.
After tying up the donkey, she carried the jar of corn kernels that she had peeled early in the morning, and slowly entered the restaurant.
