Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

396 Agreement

Mrs. Yang, who was standing at the door, had seen enough. Since Xiaoguo was back, she wouldn’t have to take care of their dinner anymore. Hence, she got ready to walk back to her house.

Although she was very curious about where Xiaoguo had gone and why she had brought the two little girls back, she knew that this was not the time to ask questions.

“Sister-in-law…”

Xiaoguo had sharp eyes and saw Mrs. Yang walking back at a glance. She quickly called out to her.

Mrs. Yang stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her. She gave her a look. “What’s up?”

“I’ll pay you a visit tomorrow…”

Since it was getting late, Xiaoguo would do the introductions tomorrow.

Mrs. Yang smiled and nodded. She knew that Xiaoguo would never forget her!

“I’ll be waiting for you!”

“Okay!”

Feeling satisfied, Mrs. Yang went back for dinner. Xiaoguo looked at Mrs. Yang’s back view and chuckled to herself.

“Madam, I’ll go back first.”

Seeing that there was nothing else for him to do, Xi Zi voiced his request to leave.

“… Wait a minute!”

Xiaoguo stopped Xi Zi, who was about to leave with his horse. After which, she quickly ran into the house.

The few people who remained behind did not understand why she was going inside.

Soon, Xiaoguo ran out with something in her hands.

“I heard that you have a little boy at home too. Take this as a small gift from me.”

As she spoke, Xiaoguo handed him a piece of cloth.

Xi Zi often helped with purchasing goods for the village, so he could tell at a glance that the cloth was expensive. He refused to accept the gift.

“Madam, this won’t do. I can’t accept it. It’s too expensive. How can I accept it?”

“Please accept it. I was planning to use this to make clothes for my son. The size of the fabric should be just enough for your son.”

Xi Zi waved his hands repeatedly and started moving backwards. Without another word, Xiaoguo stuffed the fabric into his arms.

Xizi thought that it didn’t seem right to stuff it back into her arms. He hesitated for a moment, but his thoughts got the better of him, so he accepted it in shame.

“Thank you, Madam!”

Xi Zi felt like crying at this moment. His son was almost six years old, but he had never worn any new clothes. Most of his clothes were modified from adult’s clothes. It was all thanks to Madam that his son could finally wear new clothes. On top of that, they would be made from precious fabrics that he could never afford in his lifetime.

“You should go now.”

Xiaoguo waved at him. It was hard to drive in the dark, so Xi Zi still had to hurry to the county. He would stay there for the night and return the next morning.

“Thank you, Madam.”

Xi Zi did not dare to leave the fabric in the car for fear of dirtying it. He insisted on holding it in his arms. After taking two steps, he turned around and looked at Xiaoguo, thanking her solemnly and gratefully.

After seeing Xiaoguo nod, he set off on the carriage.

As soon as Xi Zi left, Xiaoguo stretched her back comfortably. It was really exhausting to sit in the car. It was more comfortable to stand on flat ground.

It’s often said that one should stay grounded and practical, as that is the most comfortable way to live.

“Let’s go back!”

It was getting late and everyone was starving. When they heard Xiaoguo’s words, they immediately nodded in agreement.

The group walked home together.

On the other hand, the old village chief had just finished his busy day. When he returned home, he saw two large sacks in the kitchen.

The village chief’s wife was cooking porridge. When she saw him return, she said, “Dinner will start in a while.”

“Yes, there’s no hurry.”

“What is this?”

The old village chief touched the two familiar-looking sacks and asked.

“I didn’t see what’s inside. Xi Zi brought them here this morning. He said that Madam had asked him to send it over and that you’ll understand when you see the contents.”

The village chief’s wife thought that the sacks contained precious stuff that belonged to the village, so she didn’t look at the contents at all.

The old village chief frowned when he heard that. Could it be what he was thinking?

He managed to untie the ropes in no time. What he saw was a bag of snow-white flour and another bag of white rice.

Seeing that her husband was not moving, the village chief’s wife thought that something had happened. She put down her spoon and hurried over.

“What…?”

The village chief’s wife had come to a stop when she was blinded by the rice in the bag. “This…”

In an instant, she was overjoyed. She picked up a handful of rice in her trembling hands. “What is supposed to mean?”

The old village chief was not as excited as her. Seeing her like this, he sat at the side and said, “It’s for the village.”

The village chief’s wife nodded in disappointment. She had actually guessed it, but she was also used to it.

Sigh, it had been a long time since she had seen so much white rice and white flour.

“There are so many people in the village. How much can one family get?”

“It will not be shared among the entire village. Only five households will receive it.”

The old village chief could tell that she was disappointed. After saying that, he smiled and added, “And we are included.”

“Are you serious?!”

“Really.”

The old village chief smiled and said, “You’ve suffered much with me.”

“Hey, how old are we? Don’t say that!”

The old village chief’s wife wiped the tears from her eyes. “I’ve never suffered since I married you.”

She was telling the truth. Although she didn’t get to enjoy delicacies, she had never suffered in any other way. Being with him was the best decision she had ever made, and it was also the happiest time of her life.

The old village chief gently took her hand and patted it. “Let’s weigh it. We’ll split it into five portions.”

“Okay!”

The village chief’s wife went out to get the weighing scale. Halfway through, she turned around and said worriedly, “Look after the porridge, in case it gets burnt.”

“Alright, I got it.”

Only then did the village chief’s wife leave with a smile.

The old village chief shook his head helplessly. Then, he obediently went to the stove and started stirring with a spoon.

After Xiaoguo and the group finished their dinner, she left the dishes to them before returning to her room herself.

Tonight, she will sleep in the same room as Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang. Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling will sleep in the other room.

She had just made the bed when the two girls came in.

“Let’s rest after playing for a while. It’s been a long day.”

“Okay, Sister Xiaoguo.”

“Got it, Sister Xiaoguo. You guys should rest early too!”

“Okay.”

Xiaoguo lit two candles for them and closed the door before returning to her room.

As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang looking at her with their arms crossed.

Xiaoguo stopped in her tracks. Were they going to interrogate her?

She sat down across from them unhurriedly, and poured herself a glass of water in a leisurely manner.

After a while, Zhuang Zhuang was the first to collapse. It couldn’t be helped. It wasn’t easy for him to last until now.

After she had enough water, Xiaoguo looked up at Jiang Danhe. She was suddenly tickled by his aggrieved and awkward expression.

Unable to control herself, the water spurted out of her mouth.

Jiang Danhe had no intention of dodging it. He faced the warm water spraying out of her mouth.

Xiaoguo couldn’t bear to look at the pitiful-looking man. Under his gaze, she reached out to touch him.

Jiang Danhe’s heart skipped a beat. What was she doing? Zhuang Zhuang was still here! “That’s not right. Should I leave? Or should I just move away? Forget it, forget it. I am going to stay put. It’s rare that she was taking the initiative to do something so intimate. I’ll lose out if I move.”

In the end, Xiaoguo’s small hand landed on his face. She stroked him gently a few times before leaving the room.

Jiang Danhe’s awkwardness instantly disappeared. That made sense. Xiaoguo didn’t know that he was coming back, that was why she went out. If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have gone out.

After a series of brainstorming, Jiang Danhe looked at Xiaoguo with an even more ambiguous gaze.

After Xiaoguo put down her hand, she saw his eyebrows switch from looking furrowed to relaxed. Then his face became flushed, and then he started pursing his lips. It was a lively scene on his face.

No matter what, he was still very handsome without any water stains on his face.

Xiaoguo explained to the two of them why she had brought Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling back.

Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang did not mind Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling joining the family. They were actually feeling bothered over another matter.

After a “friendly” discussion with the two of them, Xiaoguo wrote a letter of agreement under their tickling hands.

In the future, if she was going out, she had to explain her whereabouts clearly and promise not to act alone. She should always travel in pairs and it would be best if she was escorted by a familiar man.
