The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 269 Ayu Gives Candy

Others might tell her not to worry so much, but Liu would still overthink it. However, as long as Old Mrs. Wang spoke up, she felt much more at ease.

"Even if something does happen, it's alright." Old Mrs. Wang had long since cultivated a calm demeanor and naturally wasn't worried about such things.

As they were talking, two people suddenly came over, looking quite flustered.

When Liu stepped outside, she looked on with slight surprise: "Da Niu, what's wrong?"

When the man named Da Niu saw Liu, he craned his neck to look behind her.

"Is this Chuanman's wife? Is your mother home?" Da Niu asked hurriedly.

Hearing the noise from inside the house, little Ayu poked her fluffy little head out: "Uncle Da Niu! Grandma's home, what do you want to see her about?"

Da Niu and Mu Tou, who were standing next to him, remained silent, feeling that it was inappropriate to say such things in front of the child.

Liu simply picked up little Ayu and called into the house, "Mother, Da Niu and the others are looking for us."

Grandma Wang replied from inside, "I understand, you can go ahead and do your work."

Liu carried little Ayu away, and little Ayu twisted her neck and asked, "Mother, are Uncle Da Niu and the others leaving?"

As she spoke, white steam rose from Xiao Ayu's mouth. She deliberately opened her mouth wide and emphasized each word.

It seems like they care a lot.

"Leaving already?" This was unexpected for Liu. "Who told you that?"

Little Ayu: "Uncle Da Niu is talking to Grandma. He said he's going to the county town, and it seems someone is coming to pick him up. Why are they going to the county town?"

Xiao Ayu only knew that the county town was a more lively place than their town, and she and her grandmother had been there a few months ago.

That's where I met my brother, Ah-you.

Liu's expression changed, and she quickly picked up little Ayu and walked away.

Ayu's ears are incredibly sharp; even after walking such a long distance, she can still hear them.

Da Niu was none other than the same group of people Zhang Zhan had encountered on the road. He had the officials escort these people to Nanhe Town.

At first, the officials lived with those people. After half a month, Zhang Zhan still hadn't summoned them, so the officials were worried and simply left the people at Old Wang's house while they went back to the county town to continue their duties.

Before they knew it, it was already the end of October. Da Niu and his friends were already feeling a bit awkward staying at Lao Wang's house, so they started helping out.

Later, he was tricked by Chi Tu and his gang, and ended up doing things related to the Qin family as well.

As time went on, Liu almost forgot that they were people connected with the government officials.

These people haven't received any special training, so naturally they don't know anything about secrecy.

After staying at the Wang family's house for a few days, I found that the people there were very simple and kind, so I told them about my experiences as if I were pouring out my grievances.

Liu also knew that these people had offended the former county magistrate.

I wonder what Mother will say to them. I hope she won't take this matter into her own hands.

Liu simply took Xiao Ayu to the kitchen to do the remaining chores, and then the whole family sat down to eat together.

Da Niu and his group were also there, but they all looked a bit nervous and seemed distracted while eating.

They are going to the county town to be witnesses. They don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. They don't know what the new county magistrate is like.
It's been so long, they've almost forgotten.

Old Wang had no idea what had happened and was still happily eating his meal. When he tasted the duck leg, he thought it was delicious and picked up the serving chopsticks to put a piece on Old Mrs. Wang's plate.

Grandma Wang snapped the meat back into Old Wang's bowl and threw it in: "Eat your own food, you're acting like a child!" Old Wang said aggrievedly, "I think this tastes good, I wanted you to eat more."

"Do I not have hands? Can't I hold chopsticks properly?" Old Mrs. Wang retorted skillfully. "Mind your own business. I don't expect you to do anything for me. I'll be grateful if you don't cause me any trouble!"

Old Wang was completely puzzled. What was going on this time? Why was he suddenly speaking so sarcastically for no reason?
Could it be that he snored for too long last night and disturbed his wife's sleep?

Old Wang didn't notice that when Old Lady Wang was speaking, Da Niu and the others' faces suddenly turned red and then pale, all feeling somewhat ashamed.

They vaguely knew that what Old Mrs. Wang had just said was not directed at Old Mr. Wang, but at them.

Da Niu had previously stated that once they resolved the previous issues and successfully avenged their wrongdoing, they would never forget the great kindness and virtue shown by the Wang family.

Grandma Wang didn't care much; she just hoped these people wouldn't cause trouble.

Otherwise, the Wang family, who took them in, would definitely not fare well.

After lunch, Da Niu and his companions went to the Nanhe Inn, where several officials were waiting to take them to the county town.

These people originally lived next door to Wang Chuangui. After they left, Wang Chuangui, who had gotten used to the lively atmosphere next door, suddenly felt a sense of loneliness that afternoon.

Wang Chuangui looked out the window and muttered to himself.

Little Ayu happened to be passing by with chrysanthemums in her hands. When she heard Wang Chuangui speaking, she tilted her head up and asked, "Second Uncle, do you miss Uncle Da Niu?"

Wang Chuangui: "...Why would I want to think about him?"

A grown man wants to be a grown man?

Just thinking about that scene gave Wang Chuangui goosebumps all over.

"Then Uncle, hurry up and study! The exam is coming up soon. Second Uncle, you must pass!" Little Ayu clenched her little fists, making an encouraging gesture.

Wang Chuangui: "There shouldn't be any problems... right?"

The preliminary examination for the imperial examinations is in February, which is only three months away. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Wang Chuangui has been ordered to stop doing everything else and focus on preparing for the examinations.

According to the teacher, Wang Chuangui is now guaranteed to pass the exam; he is the most gifted student the teacher has ever seen.

However, he had too little time to study, and the exams had to be taken in the county town, lasting three days in total, with three sessions.

The Wang family was worried that Wang Chuangui wouldn't be able to handle it, since he had been paralyzed for five years and his physical condition was certainly not as good as that of an ordinary test taker.

"Second Uncle, you have to do your best! Grandma said you should be a role model for your older brothers!" Little Ayu counted on her fingers, "Second Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother all have to participate. The older brothers can fail, but Second Uncle has to pass!"

Wang Chuangui looked bitter, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

If I really fail the exam, and am even worse than my two sons, then I should just buy a block of tofu and smash my head against it. How shameful!
Seeing that Wang Chuangui was unusually nervous, Xiao Ayu took out a piece of candy and placed it in Wang Chuangui's palm.

"Second Uncle, here you go. My brothers all say that eating this candy will give you a lot of courage!"

Wang Chuangui squeezed the slightly soft "candy," and even though he didn't eat it, he still felt a sweet feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Ayu had feelings for him, and all his kindness to her hadn't been in vain.

"Second Uncle, you must try it!"

Little Ayu couldn't wait: "After you've tasted it, tell me if it's good or not. If it's good, you can give it to your brothers; if it's not good, you can keep it all, because Grandma said she's afraid you'll fall asleep during the exam!"

Wang Chuangui: "..." It's the same old formula.
