On the way home, Xiaoguo bumped into Zhuang Zhuang, who was tending to the cows outside.
Zhuang Zhuang saw Xiaoguo from afar and led the cows home with her.
Seeing that Xiaoguo had gone up the mountains and he had also just finished his reading, Zhuang Zhuang had decided to bring the cows out for grazing after Xiaoguo left the house.
The mother and son walked home together. When they got home, Zhuang Zhuang went to tie up the cows. Xiaoguo carried the basket to the well and fetched a large basin of water. She poured out the branches from the basket to reveal the fish at the bottom. She then grabbed the fish and placed it in the water. Although the fish had been taken out of water for some time, it was still full of vitality when they got home.
"Mother, are we having fish for lunch?"
