Chapter 90: Invitation to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival Together

Xiaoguo recalled something else that had brought her here. It was almost the mid-autumn festival. She wondered if Ruyi and the others were working on that day.

“Ruyi, it’s almost the mid-autumn festival. Are you guys taking a break?”

Hearing this, Ruyi nodded. They had agreed long ago that they would take a break during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and use that time to relax.

When Xiaoguo heard this, she looked at Qin Anming happily. “Brother, let’s have lamb skewers when you come back for the mid-autumn festival!”

Qin Anming, who was in the midst of teasing Zhuang Zhuang, nodded repeatedly. “Sure!”

With Qin Anming’s approval, Xiaoguo was overjoyed. She had been craving lamb skewers for a long time. She could finally eat it!

Zhuang Zhuang didn’t understand. He saw Xiaoguo and Qin Anming smiling so he also smiled foolishly along with them. In any case, he knew that his uncle would be coming home!

Ruyi looked at the three of them with envy.

It would be so nice for them. The Mid-Autumn Festival would bring their family together for the holidays. What about her? What would she do then?

The atmosphere between Xiaoguo, Qin Anming and Zhuang Zhuang affected the rest of the group. There was a strong contrast between the two groups—liveliness on one side and silence on the other.

Everyone listened to Xiaoguo’s plans and felt a tinge of sadness in their hearts. Everyone quietly continued with the work in their hands. Uncle Xu was also swiping noisily on the abacus.

After Xiaoguo spoke with Qin Anming about the arrangements for the holiday, she got ready to leave with Zhuang Zhuang as she still had to buy some spices along the way.

She turned around and was about to say goodbye to Ruyi when she saw her gloomy face.

Xiaoguo was quite sensitive. She understood what had come over everyone. She looked around at the people in the shop.

Ling Long and Fu’er had no family. They would definitely stay in the shop during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although Xiao Cui had a family, she had been sold to the restaurant so she wouldn’t go back. As for Uncle Xu, he was also a lonely old man. Ruyi had no one else either. Everyone had no plans, so maybe…

Deep down, Xiaoguo had already made up her mind. However, she still had to ask Qin Anming and Zhuang Zhuang for their opinions.

Xiaoguo called Zhuang Zhuang over. Although Zhuang Zhuang had been sticking to Qin Anming from the minute he got here, Xiaoguo was still ranked first in his heart. He always has been looking out for Xiaoguo.

When he saw Xiaoguo waving at him, Zhuang Zhuang went over immediately.

“Mother?”

Xiaoguo leaned over and whispered in Zhuang Zhuang’s ear, “Shall we invite Sister Ruyi and the others to our house during the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

Zhuang Zhuang immediately understood what Xiaoguo meant. He leaned over and covered his mouth with his hands. He said softly, “Okay…”

After settling with Zhuang Zhuang, she looked at Qin Anming. With the tacit understanding between siblings, Qin Anming understood what she meant the moment she looked up. He nodded and gave Xiaoguo an affirmative look.

“Ruyi, if you guys have nothing to do during the mid-autumn festival, please come to our house. We’ll celebrate the mid-autumn festival together. The more the merrier!”

After getting approval from Qin Anming and Zhuang Zhuang, Xiaoguo asked the latter to go play with his uncle. She turned around and directed the question at Ruyi.

At first, Ruyi thought she had heard wrong. She blinked in confusion. “Huh?”

The others also stopped what they were doing and stared at Xiaoguo with unblinking eyes. They could not believe what they had just heard!

“Really? Are you serious?”

Ruyi’s mouth moved many times, but she could only say those few words. The others looked at Xiaoguo with sparkling eyes. Was this for real?

Xiaoguo nodded firmly again. “Of course it is!”

Zhuang Zhuang chimed in, “Sister Ruyi, please bring Grandpa and all the sisters along!”

His eyes were blinking—he was trying to convince them with his cuteness.

Ruyi couldn’t resist his tactics and nodded eagerly at Zhuang Zhuang. She looked like her head was going to come off.

Seeing her nod in agreement, Xiaoguo looked up and gestured to the others. Everyone nodded excitedly. They really wanted to go!

After deciding on a time, Xiaoguo officially invited them to stay at her house for two days and one night during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Everyone said happily that they would definitely arrive on time. With new plans in place for the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone seemed invigorated!

While working, everyone felt much more energized. Even the sound of Uncle Xu’s abacus became vibrant and louder.

Xiaoguo decided to buy more mutton. The piece of meat at home was not enough for so many people. She also had to buy some spices for seasoning the meat.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Xiaoguo drove the donkey cart to buy mutton.

Zhuang Zhuang was in high spirits along the way. He was no longer as upset as he had been when he bade farewell to his uncle.

Zhuang Zhuang knew that his uncle would be back soon. He couldn’t help but feel happy. He wished that day would come in the blink of an eye.

“Boss, another ten catties of mutton!”

Xiaoguo drove the cart to the stall that she frequented. When the owner saw that it was Xiaoguo, he reminded her, “Can you eat ten catties? Although the weather is not too hot now, it’s still not the cold season yet. Be careful that the meat could spoil.”

Xiaoguo nodded to reassure the stall owner. “We’ll eat in two days’ time. There will be a lot of people to help finish it.”

Even if Xiaoguo couldn’t eat it, she wasn’t worried. She would just put it in the fridge in the other space and take it out when she needed it.

Ten catties of mutton was quite a lot. The stall owner was afraid that Xiaoguo couldn’t carry it, so he helped her put it on the donkey cart. Xiaoguo thanked him and gave him the money.

As she didn’t have any small change, Xiaoguo gave the stall owner a silver coin. While the stall owner was looking for change in his shop, Xiaoguo remained where she was. As she looked around, she happened to see a basin of intestines under the stall table.

At this moment, the boss came out from inside the shop. Before Xiaoguo could say anything, he handed the change to her and pulled out the basin skillfully. “Miss, do you still want this?”

The shopkeeper asked Xiaoguo as he showed her the intestines.

Xiaoguo looked inside. Besides pig intestines, there were also sheep intestines.

Xiaoguo saw that it was a load of good stuff and thought about the dishes that she could make.

“Yes! Boss, I’ll also buy some more pork.”

Xiaoguo suddenly thought of a delicious dish. To make sausages with intestinal casings!

In winter, she could make dried Chinese sausages. If they were having a barbeque, she could make some grilled sausages. Chinese sausages would also be delicious when they are fried or steamed.

Seeing that Xiaoguo was so happy, the boss wrapped up all the intestines and chose a piece of hind hock for her.

After wrapping them, he helped her to load everything on the donkey cart.

The boss came to the donkey cart and looked at the child sitting in it. He looked at the child and was puzzled.

“Hey, Miss, is this your daughter? Why didn’t you bring your son today?”

Xiaoguo was taken aback, not understanding what he meant. ‘What daughter?’

She walked up to Zhuang Zhuang and saw him staring at the boss. She immediately understood!

“Pfft!!”

“Mother…” Zhuang Zhuang looked at Xiaoguo, who was laughing so hard that she couldn’t stand up straight. He called out to her aggrievedly.

He had just understood. What daughter? So the stall owner thought of himself as a girl!!

The boss was confused. He scratched his head and looked at the two of them. What was wrong?

Xiaoguo laughed even harder at their embarrassed faces.

Everyone had been holding it in and hadn’t mentioned anything about Zhuang Zhuang looking like a little girl today. She didn’t expect the stall owner to be so direct! “Hahahaha! I can’t take it anymore. I’m dying of laughter!!”

When Zhuang Zhuang looked like he was about to cry, Xiaoguo then stopped laughing and explained to the boss earnestly.

When the boss heard her explanation, he realized that he had made a fool of himself. His dark face instantly turned red in embarrassment.

When Zhuang Zhuang saw that Xiaoguo had clarified the matter, he sniffled and wiped away his snot and tears.

After bidding farewell to the boss, Xiaoguo did not dare to look back at Zhuang Zhuang’s aggrieved gaze.

She secretly wiped away the tears on her face. What should she do? She still wanted to laugh so badly!
