The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 481 Let's take a look

On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month in the eighteenth year of Minghua, Hujia Village was bustling with activity.

Red lanterns hung from one end of the village to the other. Some mischievous children carried lanterns up the mountain and hung them on tree branches to protect them from the wind.

There is no need to worry about wildfires because of the thick layer of snow.

Children also shook the snow off the pine and cypress trees and plucked branches to decorate various parts of the village.

From a distance, the entire village appears lush and green, yet also dotted with vibrant red.

People wore thick clothes, and the women had thick headscarves wrapped around their heads. Each of them carried a vegetable basket, and when they met children, they would hand over the contents of their baskets.

Most of them contained things like meatballs, fried dough twists, and biscuits; in wealthier families, they might also contain candies.

Nowadays, most of it is brown sugar and yellow sugar.

The children accepted everything offered; as long as there was food, they would take it.

They loved going to Old Wang's house the most because Old Wang's house made an exceptionally wide variety of food.

Xiao Zhang was originally a person who loved to eat and was somewhat lazy. Now she has gotten rid of her lazy habits, but her love of eating remains.

There are only three sisters-in-law in the family now, plus Wang Aibao, and Liang Xue and Tangyuan who volunteer to help, so they can make quite a few things.

In the Wang family's courtyard, there was a large wooden table, which Old Wang had specially made recently. On the spot reserved for Little Ayu, there was a carved little radish and a little rabbit, which looked adorable.

Since getting this position, Xiao Ayu has been able to eat an extra half bowl of food every day.

The wooden table is now filled with all sorts of things, including steamed buns and small steamed bread of various flavors.

There were also fried meat slices and glass noodles.

The prepared sugar water had turned into sugar cubes outdoors.

And a large basket of copper coins.

Every child who entered Old Wang's house could get a handful of every kind of food and a copper coin.

Little Ayu was assigned to distribute copper coins. She was dressed in a bright red dress, with a bright red hat on her head. The dress was surrounded by soft rabbit fur, and Liu had specially sewn a rabbit tail on the back.

From a distance, Xiao Ayu looks like a fluffy little rabbit.

Everyone who came to the Wang family couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing the cheerful little Ayu, "Ayu is getting more and more beautiful!"

Every time she heard a compliment, Xiao Ayu was very pleased: "You all look good too. New Year, new look, everyone looks good!"

After saying that, Xiao Ayu went to grab the copper coins, giving one to each person, no more and no less.

The children were overjoyed to receive the coins, and they chattered away as if they were free.

"Little sister Ayu, you are truly beautiful inside and out!"

"I really hope my mother will give me a little sister named Ayu!"

“My mother said she wants to give all of us siblings to Aunt Liu in exchange for my little sister Ayu.”

Upon hearing this, Liu responded from afar, "No way, even if you gave me 100, I wouldn't trade them."

Old Wang, who was shoveling snow on the roof, laughed and said, "That won't do, we can't afford to raise 100!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

After most of the children had left, Wang Wulang quietly approached Xiao Ayu.

"Sister Ayu, I heard that your silkworms have spun cocoons. Can I go and take a look?"

When they returned, they found that their former friends no longer wanted to play and would often run away from the village.

When asked, they wouldn't say anything.

Later, I found out that they had been secretly raising silkworms because of what Ayu told them.
