The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 416 Following Ayu to Watch the Fun

When the adults talked, the atmosphere was always serious. They talked back and forth, and Xiao Ayu couldn't understand a lot of what they were saying, so she didn't like it.

"Sister Ayu, let's play!" A little toddler wearing a bib and open-crotch pants hugged little Ayu's waist, sniffling as he said, "Let's play!"

Someone stepped forward, pulled the baby away, rolled up their sleeve, and wiped the baby's nose horizontally: "Don't bother Sister Ayu, go play by yourself."

"Auntie, it's okay, I can play with my younger brother and sister."

Having been the younger sister in the village for so long, Xiao Ayu was finally ready to seize the opportunity when her younger brothers and sisters started calling her "older sister."
Aunt Hu's second daughter-in-law, heavily pregnant, pushed the carrying pole next to her and said, "Go and play with Ayu and the others, and keep an eye on them."

The villagers were all busy and there weren't many eyes watching, so the children had to be extra careful.

The man with the carrying pole nodded and followed him.

Meanwhile, Tangyuan, without anyone noticing, brought a flower basket from Old Wang's house, filled with various dried biscuits and dried fruits.

When Xiao Ayu saw this, she immediately said, "Let's go play on the grass over there. The peach blossoms are in bloom, and we can eat under the peach trees. It's so fragrant and delicious."

"Okay, let's eat!" The little ones clapped their hands and laughed.

Several children with cravings overheard this and, drooling, asked, "Little sister Ayu, can we go over together?"

Another person said, "I don't have anything to eat at home, but I can pick fruit for you and catch fish so we can grill them!"

"Call your fifth brother over, he's the best at grilling fish."

"If we're talking about who knows the most to eat, it has to be Wang Liulang, but it seems like he hasn't come back yet," someone said regretfully.

Little Ayu: "I didn't see Fifth Brother anywhere."

Tangyuan said, "The Fifth Young Master was just called away by the First Madam to go back and help."

Tangyuan was supposed to go too, but Madam Feng told her to focus on keeping Ayu company.

Of course, Tangyuan is better at taking care of people than taking care of others.

Wang Wulang would often forget about Xiao Ayu while playing. A group of children, laughing and joking, would go to the other side of the hillside.

A villager working in the fields saw Xiao Ayu and beckoned her over: "Ayu, take these sweet fruits. And these sugarcane sections, they grew in shady places and ripened later than other sugarcane, so they're perfect to eat now."

One of their children pouted and said, "Dad, so that's why you wouldn't let me eat. You saved it for little sister Ayu. Is little sister Ayu your real child?"

The villager gave the child a sharp rap on the head: "Eat, eat, eat! All you think about all day is food! You've already stolen enough food from the fields! Ayu and the others spend so much money in town, and there's not much good sugarcane there. What's wrong with saving some for her?"

The child covered his head and ran around frantically, shouting, "I didn't say anything!"

The other children saw this and burst into laughter.

Only Xiao Ayu, carrying everything she had received, walked up to the child.

"Brother Tiezhu, you can have all of these. I'm not hungry yet."

“Ayu, don’t listen to him. He’s just pretending to be pitiful. We grow sugarcane ourselves, how could we let him go hungry?” the villager said.

The child grinned and said, "Little sister Ayu, I was just teasing you! I'm tired of sugarcane. I still prefer the wild fruit from your field. It's sweet and sour, just right."

The fruit in their fields isn't fully ripe yet, so it would be a waste to pick it now.

"I still have some of that fruit," Little Ayu said, reaching into her pocket.

This made all the children laugh.

“Little sister Ayu is too easy to fool. Tiezhu just wants to trick you into eating. Let’s hurry up and leave. If we stay any longer, the adults at home will call us again.”

The children were very excited. Whenever there were more people, they would go out with Sister Ayu and always have something new to discover.

They weren't interested in the sugarcane fruit; they just wanted to join in the fun.

Wang Wulang said that following Sister Ayu might lead to finding a wife!
Hehe, maybe she's even a fairy.
