Chapter 218: Storing Grains in Two PartsEditor: Atlas Studios
Zhuang Zhuang was telling the truth.
In fact, when Jiang Danhe was writing the letters, he couldn’t help but write two long pages of confessions to Xiaoguo. However, he was worried about what Xiaoguo would think of him. She might think that he was being too impulsive, so he decided to delete a portion of it, and kept the more reserved lines.
Xiaoguo didn’t have ti to care about Zhuang Zhuang’s emotions earlier on because she was imrsed in the love lines within the letter. She didn’t expect Jiang Danhe to be so good with his words. He should have been more reserved.

"Xiaoguo, are you going to the market tomorrow?"
Mrs. Yang and Xiaoguo gathered around the stove, eating lon seeds and chatting.
Hearing her words, Xiaoguo hesitated and looked at the weather outside. "Yes, it’s about ti..."
There were no more green vegetables at ho. For the past two days, they had been eating all kinds of at and Zhuang Zhuang was starting to complain. It was indeed ti to make a trip.
"Shall we go together?" Mrs. Yang gestured to Xiaoguo.
"All right."
Mrs. Yang smiled and suddenly thought of sothing. "By the way, is Zhuang Zhuang’s birthday coming soon?"
She still rembered the day when Xiaoguo delivered Zhuang Zhuang, she and the midwife were kept busy the entire night. Zhuang Zhuang was delivered only at dawn. At that ti, there was a rare snowstorm. Miraculously, the sky cleared imdiately after Zhuang Zhuang was born, so she had a deep impression of that day.
"Yes, twenty-sixth." Xiaoguo was delighted to hear that. "That’s right. I have to hurry to the county to buy so stuff."
As soon as Mrs. Yang ntioned it, Xiaoguo got excited. She wasn’t so concerned about the cold anymore. Since Zhuang Zhuang’s birthday was coming, she had to do the necessary preparations.
She had to prepare food, beverages and also a birthday gift for Zhuang Zhuang...
Xiaoguo listed out all the items, afraid that she would miss out on any items. This was the first ti she was organizing a birthday celebration for Zhuang Zhuang. She had to prepare well.
Mrs. Yang looked at her excited face and didn’t say much. She just laughed at her. "We usually just have noodles for our birthday. What else do you need to plan?"
"It’s different." Xiaoguo shook her head. She knew that most people here would only have noodles for their birthdays, unlike rich families who would hold banquets. She didn’t want to celebrate Zhuang Zhuang’s birthday in such a simple manner.
"What’s the difference?" Mrs. Yang didn’t think much of it. Wasn’t it just a birthday? It wasn’t so significant birthday date either. It was just a child’s birthday. Just a simple celebration would suffice.
Xiaoguo shook her head and did not answer.
The next morning, Xiaoguo got up and prepared breakfast for Zhuang Zhuang. She brought the food into the house and heated up the stove. When everything was ready, she put on her traveling clothes and the leather cloak that Jiang Danhe had sent back.
After she was fully dressed, Xiaoguo beca three tis her original size. She wouldn’t get hurt even if she fell off the donkey cart.
She walked to the bed and gently bent down to inform Zhuang Zhuang, who was still sleeping, "Zhuang Zhuang, I’m going to the county. Be good and stay at ho. I’ll lock the door for you and will be back shortly. Rember to eat the food on the table when you wake up."
After a rambling explanation and seeing him nod in acknowledgnt, she left the house without any worries.
With her attire, it was quite difficult to move freely. She also had difficulty bending over and lifting her arms.
When she arrived at the door, she saw Mrs. Yang waiting for her.
"Sister-in-law, why didn’t you knock?"
"Hey, I just ca out not long ago."
Mrs. Yang waved her hand to show that it was nothing. She was also well-insulated and was wearing a fur hat on her head.
Xiaoguo’s interest was piqued by the unique design of the hat. "Your hat looks pretty good."
Mrs. Yang swiftly got on the donkey cart. She didn’t move as clumsily as Xiaoguo. After sitting down, she looked speechless when she heard Xiaoguo’s words. "Brother Yang took three years to get this for ."
Xiaoguo was confused. Three years? She understood within the next instant. "Oh... Did he bring it back from the military camp?"
"You got it right." Mrs. Yang took out a vegetable dumpling. "This is your prize for guessing right."
"Haha, a vegetable dumpling as a reward?"
Xiaoguo happily took the dumpling from her hand. To be honest, Mrs. Yang’s culinary skills were really superb. At the thought of this, Xiaoguo was salivating. With the dumpling in hand, she couldn’t wait to eat it.
Seeing that she liked it, Mrs. Yang was overjoyed. She started eating as well. She had made them in the morning. When they were done, she held them in her arms to retain the temperature, so the dumplings were still warm.
"Look at you, you even put on clothes for the donkey." As Mrs. Yang ate, she looked at the donkey in front of her and shook her head in amusent.
"This is what fashionable looks like."
As Xiaoguo spoke, she finished the last bite of the dumpling. Then, she quickly put on her scarf gloves. The later she put on the gloves, the more heat she would lose with each passing second.
Mrs. Yang didn’t understand the word "fashionable
