Before leaving the house, Xiaoguo had purposely put a sickle on the donkey cart. There wasn't much grass left at home, she could use it to cut some grass on the way back.
"Mother, I'll go back first and bring Big Black and Little White out."
Zhuang Zhuang saw that they were not far from home. Since his mother would not let him touch the sickle, he decided to go back and bring the cows out himself.
Xiaoguo agreed and allowed Zhuang Zhuang to go back. The place where she was cutting the grass was not too far from the house. It was fine for him to go bring the cows by himself.
Seeing that Zhuang Zhuang was walking home, Xiaoguo continued cutting the grass. Some people called out greetings to Xiaoguo when they passed her by. Xiaoguo could not remember everyone's names—she could only recognize some of those whom she had interacted with before.
