Before the carriage had come to a complete stop, Jiang Danhe anxiously lifted the drapes and jumped down. He walked towards the stall.

“What are you doing?”

Li Shouji watched as Jiang Danhe walked aggressively to the side. Wondering what he had seen, Li Shouji followed him curiously.

Jiang Danhe stopped in front of a stall selling hair ornaments.

As the boss lowered her head to tie up her hair, she suddenly felt her surroundings turning dark. At first, she thought that the sky had turned cloudy. When she looked up and was getting ready to close the stall, she suddenly realized that it was a man dressed in an official uniform.

The woman had never seen anything like this before. She thought that the man had come with ill intentions. She was so shocked that she froze on the spot. The flower in her hand fell to the ground.

Jiang Danhe did not notice her odd behavior. His eyes were sparkling as he looked at the various hair ornaments on display at the stall.

Just as he was wondering which one to pick, he was suddenly attracted by a colorful flower with an interesting design.

“What flower is this?”

The woman snapped out of her daze and looked in the direction of the man’s large hand. Only then did she realize that he had come to buy hair ornaments. She heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw that it was business, she instantly perked up.

“This is a bluebell. The pale white petals have a beautiful blue ring on the edges. It’s the best gift for your wife at home!”

The woman had a glib tongue. Jiang Danhe picked it up and took a closer look. He thought that it was pretty. The color was nice, and the workmanship was very intricate.

“And this. This is a red rose. It’s everyone’s favorite. And this is a lily. It means to be together forever. And this is a little pink flower. If you have a child, you can buy this. And this is a tulip. Smell it. It is scented…”

Li Shouji arrived at the stall a few moments later. As soon as he got closer, he saw Jiang Danhe being cajoled into buying a bunch of hair ornaments. The boss and Jiang Danhe were still not done. One kept pushing and the other kept buying.

Li Shouji quietly stood behind Jiang Danhe and gave the woman a look, hinting that she should stop.

The woman was already satisfied with her earnings, so she stopped her sales tactics. She took Jiang Danhe’s money and sent the two of them off with a smile. She wished for more generous customers like this man in the future, so that she wouldn’t have to worry about money anymore!

The woman happily put the silver into her chest pocket and packed up to close the stall. This time, she had made the same amount that she usually makes in a month. She could go home early and rest.

Li Shouji looked at Jiang Danhe, who was carrying a pile of hair ornaments, and was a little speechless. If it weren’t for him, he would probably have bought the entire stall.

Jiang Danhe did not see Li Shouji’s disdainful gaze. He placed the pile of hair ornaments on the table carefully.

The entire table was covered with hair accessories. At first, he didn’t think much of it, but now he realized that he had indeed bought a lot. Of course, this was what Li Shouji was thinking.

Jiang Danhe felt that this was nothing. When he thought about Xiaoguo and their child wearing the ornaments, he could not help but feel happy and satisfied.

He laid two cloth bags flat on the table and sorted the ornaments one by one. Those for Xiaoguo were placed on the left, and those for his daughter were placed on the right.

Jiang Danhe happily picked up a small peach blossom-shaped hair tie and showed it to Li Shouji. “Do you think my daughter will look good in it?”

Although Li Shouji despised his actions, he did not dampen his spirits. He nodded and was about to say that it was good when Jiang Danhe continued to say, “Sigh, what’s the point of asking you? You’re a bachelor.”

Li Shouji was at a loss for words.

“Hmph!”

He snorted at him and got up to leave. As a bachelor, he should go back to his room and rest. The non-bachelor can enjoy his sorting alone!

Jiang Danhe did not notice Li Shouji’s departure. His eyes were filled with all kinds of hair ornaments. In his mind, he was picturing Xiaoguo and his daughter, each wearing these hair ornaments.

The satisfaction and happiness in his heart were about to explode. Life was wonderful. It wouldn’t be long until next spring. There were another six months to go. Time would pass very quickly! He had to prepare all the gifts within these few months and bring them back when the time comes!

Jiang Danhe distributed the hair ornaments, wrapped them up, and carefully kept them in the deepest part of his wardrobe.

Jiang Danhe had a distinct goal for the future and he was filled with motivation. He was planning to go out and buy more things, but it was getting late. Moreover, he had something to do tonight, he could only get the remaining things tomorrow.

Jiang Danhe was dispirited. He turned around and went out to look for Li Shouji. He grumbled to himself, “This person always leaves without a word!”

In Peach Blossom Village.

The sun had just risen when Xiaoguo woke up. Since the bathroom was constructed, it was time to buy a bathtub. Xiaoguo had woken up early so that she could make a trip to the county to buy a bathtub. Zhuang Zhuang woke up at the same time and insisted on tagging along.

It was in Xiaoguo’s plan to bring Zhuang Zhuang along with her. She had promised him that she wouldn’t leave him alone at home. Besides, he was still young, so she should bring him along whenever she could. Once he goes to school next year, she wouldn’t have much time to bring him out anymore.

Thinking of this, Xiaoguo felt a little sad. When kids grow up, they don’t stick to their mother anymore. This made her heart feel cold and sad.

“Mother, Mother, Mother!”

Xiaoguo was brought back to reality by Zhuang Zhuang’s loud voice. She wiped away her imaginary tears and locked the door before getting into the car.

This brat would not even give her a chance to feel melancholic.

But that was true. How could she be sad when she was with Zhuang Zhuang? She was filled with happiness every day.

Xiaoguo turned her head and smiled at Zhuang Zhuang. He showed her his white teeth in response. Mother and son were living such a wonderful life…

When she arrived at the county city, Xiaoguo was in a dilemma. Should she buy a wooden tub or an iron pot?

With a wooden bucket, she had to boil water before pouring it in to take a bath.

For the iron pot, she could just boil water and bathe at the same time. It was more convenient.

But if it was an iron pot, wouldn’t it seem like she was cooking herself? That doesn’t feel right.

Xiaoguo decided on the wooden bucket. She felt that it was better to lead an ordinary life. The iron pot was convenient, but once the fire got bigger, wouldn’t they get cooked?

When they arrived at the shop, they bought a bathtub in the size that they wanted. The shop owner and his staff saw that Xiaoguo was alone with a child, so they helped her load the tub onto her cart. Xiaoguo paid for the tub and thanked them. Zhuang Zhuang followed suit and thanked the boss and his staff. They found Zhuang Zhuang so adorable that they generously gifted Xiaoguo a stool.

Xiaoguo thanked them profusely, and Zhuang Zhuang also showed off his cute smile.

After leaving with Zhuang Zhuang, Xiaoguo looked at the smiling boy and couldn’t help but sigh. Indeed, good-looking people get to enjoy special privileges in any era.

Zhuang Zhuang, on the other hand, was in a good mood. He hummed a tune and did not insist on visiting his uncle when they arrived at the county. Xiaoguo was worried about hurting Qin Anming’s heart, so she dragged Zhuang Zhuang to go visit his uncle and play with him for a while before they headed home.

Xiaoguo drove the car while Zhuang Zhuang sat at the side, humming and laughing. Although every single word was out of tune, he still insisted on singing.

Xiaoguo had no choice but to listen. Maybe her self-comforting was helping because after a while, Zhuang Zhuang’s singing didn’t sound that bad anymore. In fact, it was even a little pleasant to listen to.

However, when she saw how the passers-by looked at Zhuang Zhuang, Xiaoguo knew the truth.

Zhuang Zhuang’s singing was still unbearably bad, it was just that her ears have gotten used to it.
