The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 424 is very similar.
Not long after Old Liu arrived, all the other members of Old Wang's family in town also returned.

In addition, the families of several of Old Wang's wives also came with their children.

They all came to the village to study.

From afar, Liu saw Old Man Liu carrying little Ayu and hurried over to take her away, saying, "Dad, isn't your back bad? Don't carry her. Ayu has gotten quite a bit fatter."

"What do you mean 'fat'? Ayu isn't much heavier than that goose feather. You, as her mother, don't even know how to feed your child properly. You're always saying she's fat. Can she ever be as fat as you were when you were a child?!" Old Liu glared and puffed out his beard.

Mrs. Liu: "I was just worried you'd get tired."

"I'm not seventy or eighty years old yet, I don't get tired that easily. Stop hanging around in front of me and take these puppies away right now. They're making a ruckus the whole way, it's so annoying to look at them!"

Originally, it was Qin who wanted to bring the children over, but then many villagers from Xiashan Village also wanted to send their children over. They were afraid that Hujia Village wouldn't agree, so they went to Qin to pull strings.

In this kind of relationship, one naturally hopes that there will be less tuition and other fees.

Old Liu naturally refused, putting on a fierce expression and trying to drive them all away, offending some people in the process.

Qin simply sent him away.

The Liu family sent all their children here, not because they wanted to take advantage of the situation, but because they wanted the teacher to choose the ones they thought were good enough to keep and learn from.

If none of them work, he won't bother.

In his view, he didn't care whether these brats learned or not, or whether they could learn well.

If they learn well, that's their business; if they don't, they can stay in the village and be taught how to farm.

Anyway, we won't starve to death.

"Grandpa, I want to go see what's going on too! I've never seen so many older brothers and sisters before!" Little Ayu said, pointing in the direction of the village school.

Old Liu lifted little Ayu up even higher, his smile crinkling into wrinkles: "Alright, let's go to the village school—what are you all standing there for? You all want me to carry you? Just work me to death, then I'll carry you all to my heart's content in my coffin!"

One sentence sent shivers down Gou Sheng's spine. Little A Yu tilted her head and looked at Old Man Liu, looking completely bewildered.

Old Liu: "Ayu, what are you looking at your grandpa for?"

“I think Grandpa and Grandma look alike!” Little Ayu pointed to herself. “They both like Ayu very much.”

"Isn't it good to like Ayu?"

"Of course it's great! The Master said that an excellent child is one that many people like. The fact that you all like me means that I am excellent!"

This remark caused everyone around to burst into laughter.

Old Liu laughed so loudly that his entire chest was vibrating.

"And another thing, Grandpa and Grandma are a lot alike, they're both very fierce to everyone in the family." Little Ayu counted on her fingers, secretly whispering in Old Man Liu's ear, "I've noticed that many people don't like their older and younger sisters at home. No matter who does something wrong, they always scold the older and younger sisters, but rarely scold the older and younger brothers. But Grandma and Grandpa are different—"

As soon as Xiao Ayu said this, many people around couldn't help but turn their heads away.

Hujia Village is doing alright. Thanks to Xiao Ayu's butterfly effect, although the old-fashioned custom of favoring sons over daughters still exists in the village, it is not too excessive.

In other villages, where the Little Lucky Star did not influence their thinking, the preference for sons over daughters became even more blatant.

"Neither Grandma nor Grandpa likes her," Little Ayu said, finishing her last sentence.

Liu quickly tried to cover her mouth.

But then they heard a burst of laughter from the side.

That laughter was like the clear cry of a lark suddenly rising in the mountains.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a horse-drawn carriage that had arrived at the village school gate. A well-dressed girl stepped out of the carriage.
