The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 329 Little Ayu's Little Wish

It concerns matters from many years ago, so there's no major risk now.

However, just to be on the safe side, Zhang Zhan did not send anyone from the county government, but instead sent his men from Wanning City.

The village chief of Liuhu Village stayed overnight at the county government office. The next day, three men dressed as ordinary laborers followed the village chief to Hujia Village.

When we arrived in the village, we found that everyone was digging with hoes.

The group asked in bewilderment, "What are you doing?"

Just then, Old Mrs. Wang happened to pass by and asked Village Chief Hu, "Where did these people come from?"

As Village Chief Hu dismounted from the donkey cart, he said, "Oh, I brought it from the county town."

Remembering what Lord Zhang had said about not revealing their identities, Village Chief Hu continued, "They've come looking for work."

"Alright then, you'll be in charge of digging a cellar over there." Old Mrs. Wang casually picked up two hoes and a shovel from the side and handed them to the three bewildered people. "Don't just sit there."

Then he said to the dumbfounded Village Chief Hu, "This time it's not for my family to work; the money will come from the village."

Village Chief Hu: "..."

The three people: "..."

Chiding, carrying a hoe, passed by and smiled at them: "Brothers, work hard, you can earn twenty coins a day!"

Three people: "!!!"

It was Old Mrs. Wang's idea to dig cellars, before the ground completely froze, to dig some cellars for storing ice.

At this point, I wasn't thinking about being low-key or hiding my talents. As long as everyone could have a better life, I would do whatever I could.

Now we'll dig the cellar and wait for the river to freeze over before storing the ice blocks in the cellar. It will be useful when the weather gets warmer later.

During the hot summer months, buying ice in the county town can be quite expensive, and often it's impossible to find any.

Nothing is worse than having your own talent.

The forty or fifty boxes were locked in the ancestral hall by Village Chief Hu.

The cellar that Xiao Ayu discovered at the end of last December has now been put to use by the villagers. Because it is relatively warm inside, it has been converted into more than 10 rooms so that the weak and elderly can be invited to live there, so that everyone will not be too cold to get through the winter.

With all this busyness, the end of the year is approaching, and every household is starting to prepare for the New Year.

Hujia Village experienced two heavy snowfalls, but thankfully it wasn't like last year's snow disaster. The road to town was still passable, but the weather was rather cold, so the adults didn't want to spend a lot of money on new clothes. Naturally, they stayed home as much as possible.

The cured meat prepared by each household was hung on the roof beams. The children, unafraid of the cold, were as excited as monkeys that had just come down from the mountain.

They formed a long line, constantly darting from one shop to another, just to eat the fried fruit cakes from each shop.

Besides Old Master Hu and Village Chief Hu's family, Old Wang's family prepared the most lavish feast.

Wang Chuanyuan and his wife also closed their steamed bun shop in town and returned home. They had been working there for several months, and their skills had improved considerably.

The steamed buns and mantou were all exquisitely made and looked beautiful, and they tasted great too.

The children ate with their mouths full of oil.

Everyone was holding steamed buns, but little Ayu had a small steamed bun in each hand, and her eyes were squinting as she ate.

"Brother Ayou must have never eaten such delicious steamed buns before!" Little Ayu said to the dumpling in the space, "Elf, can you eat steamed buns?"

Dumpling: 【...Not yet.】

Strictly speaking, it is merely an existence projected from the source space into the child's consciousness world.

However, it's more advanced than this one; it can project physical objects.

"That's so pitiful." Little Ayu smacked her lips, in a very good mood.

Wang Wulang was carrying a Four Happiness Meatball in his hand, blowing hot air on it as he walked towards Xiao Ayu: "Little Ayu, would you like to try some? Aunt Hu San just gave it to me!"

"Mmm." Little Ayu took it, took a bite, and then handed it back to Wang Wulang.

Wang Wulang casually tossed it into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, he asked again, "Is there any gift you'd like for Chinese New Year this year?"

Little Ayu thought for a moment and said, "I heard Grandma talking to Second Uncle about what kind of imperial title they wanted. Second Uncle said it would be difficult, but Grandma said that any scholar could possibly get it."

Wang Wulang sensed something was wrong and wanted to tell Xiao Ayu to stop talking.

But little Ayu blurted out, "Fifth brother, I don't want any gifts. Can you give Grandma an imperial title too? Everyone can give one. I'm studying too, so I'll give one too!"

Wang Wulang: "..." Do you think this is a big radish?
