The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 52 New Seedlings Half a Foot Tall
Spring thunderstorms can really come down suddenly; sometimes you've just heard a clap of thunder and a downpour is already pouring down.

The thunderstorm that day was a little different; there was a flash of lightning and thunder above the village, but it didn't rain immediately.

The villagers quickly tidied up what needed to be tidied up and repaired what needed to be repaired, not daring to waste any time.

The Wang brothers had just cut down a large oak tree when they heard a clap of thunder, which startled them so much that they almost dropped their machetes.

"It looks like it's going to rain, let's hurry back," Wang Chuanfu said.

The two hurriedly carried the oak tree down the mountain, only to see Old Wang carrying a ladder to climb onto the roof.

Now, the roof of Old Wang's house is made of thatch. When the wind blows, some of the roofs that are not sturdy enough will fly away, so they have to add another layer of thatch and another layer of reinforcement.

"Dad, come down quickly, let us do it." Wang Chuanman hurriedly stepped forward to take over Old Wang's work.

Old Wang didn't try to be brave. After getting down, he turned around and saw the oak tree in the yard.

"You two good-for-nothings! How can you cut down oak trees for firewood? They're so big already! If you let them grow for another two years, they could make several hoe handles!"

Oak trees are difficult to grow thick, but they are very sturdy and suitable for making various tools.

“These belong to Uncle Lide’s family. He asked us to cut them down to make small hoes and sickles for Ayu,” Wang Chuanman replied.

After hearing this, Old Wang remained silent for a while.

Then he picked up the machete that was lying to the side and began to chop slowly and methodically.

He muttered to himself, "You two aren't skilled enough yet. You can't learn anything from others. I'm the one who has to do it."

Grandma Wang and her daughters-in-law were tidying up the clothes that had been drying in the house.

The children weren't idle either; they went to pick out thatch, selecting the sturdy and neat pieces and arranging them together to be used for the roof.

Little Ayu also helped with the selection. She was very serious about it, her little eyes bulging out like a frog's.

Because she was looking so closely, she unconsciously puffed out her cheeks, and her small body squatted there like a cat.

When the adults in the Wang family saw this scene while they were busy, they couldn't help but smile.

"Oh dear, you can't bite this." Little Ayu pushed away the lamb that came closer. The lamb wouldn't leave, so she stretched out her two little hands to push it away.

The little lamb thought she was playing with it, but when she was pushed away, it pushed her back, only to push Little Ayu to the ground.

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore!" Little Ayu pouted, and seeing the little sheep about to come closer, she muttered, "I really am not going to talk to you anymore."

Wang Wulang and the others secretly laughed as they watched their sister and the little lamb vying for attention.

"Little Ayu, your brothers are tired. Why don't you go and get us some water? We're so thirsty," Wang Liulang whispered to little Ayu when his grandmother wasn't looking.

"Yes, yes, little Ayu, go fetch some water, but not too much, so you can carry it." Wang Wulang realized what was going on and quickly said.

The others remained silent, but their eyes were filled with anticipation.

Little Ayu clapped her hands, stood up, patted the dust off her bottom, and nodded: "Okay."

She actually went inside and brought out a basin of cold water, and the men rushed to drink it, each taking a big gulp.

After drinking it, everyone had the same look of confusion on their faces.

After smacking her lips, she said uncertainly, "It doesn't seem as sweet anymore."

Wang Wulang said, "I think so too. It tastes the same as what I usually drink—"

As he spoke, he turned his head and saw that Xiao Ayu was pouting, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Little Ayu poked two fingers together: "I...I'm sorry."

Wang Wulang slapped his mouth and hurriedly said, "Fifth Brother was wrong. Actually, it tastes very good and is sweet. The water that Ayu brought is indeed different!"

The others chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's really delicious!"

"I have never drunk such delicious water before."

"Hehe, thanks, Ayu."

Seeing the sincerity on her brothers' faces, Ayu smiled too.

The little dumpling in the space didn't remind Ayu that her brothers probably wanted to drink the Myriad Spirit Water. The Myriad Spirit Water Ayu had given them before was pure Myriad Spirit Water.

Although the children were a little thin, they were actually very healthy, and the Wanling Water had greatly improved their physical condition.

But that's all.

Drinking too much of it is good for your health. Once your body returns to its peak condition and you are not injured, the "miracle water" is just a pretty good drink.

These kids don't need any magic potion right now.

On the other side, Grandma Wang and her daughters-in-law had just finished tidying up their clothes. Looking at the sky outside, she figured it probably wouldn't rain anytime soon, so she decided to go outside again.

"Mom, where are you going?"

Wang Chuanfu had just returned from outside, carrying a basket on his shoulder filled with bamboo shoots.

Grandma Wang: "I'll go to the field to see if the seedlings have sprouted yet. If it rains, we'll have to build a shed."

"Then I'll go with you." Wang Chuanfu put down what he was carrying and was about to leave with Old Mrs. Wang.

"What are you doing following along? Aren't you busy enough with things at home? Hurry up and peel the bamboo shoots, don't do it in the yard. There are so many bamboo shoot hairs, if you get them on Ayu, I'll teach you a lesson!" Old Mrs. Wang stopped Wang Chuanfu.

Bamboo shoots are delicious, but the hairs on their husks can be annoying, getting stuck to your skin.

Distrustful of the few men in the family, Old Mrs. Wang simply beckoned to Little Ayu: "Ayu, come on, let's go to the fields with Grandma."

She had to go check on the seedlings that had been smudged with water; she'd been thinking about them for two days and wondered what their condition was like.

Little Ayu immediately jumped over and grabbed Old Mrs. Wang's hand.

Because it was going to rain, everyone was rushing home, so there were hardly any people in the fields.

Fearing the sun would be too intense, Wang Chuanman and his team covered the seedling soil with a thin layer of thatch, so the others naturally couldn't see how the seedlings were growing.

Grandma Wang walked over, lifted the thatch, and was still a little taken aback when she saw the wheat seedlings that had grown to about half a foot tall.

How many days has it been?

How did you grow so tall!

Little Ayu didn't understand, but she found the lush green seedlings quite interesting.

As Xiao Ayu's little follower, the little lamb naturally came too. It spotted the seedlings in the field and immediately tried to nibble on them.

Grandma Wang simply picked it up by the neck and carried it aside, saying, "This isn't for you to eat. Go eat grass over there!"

The little lamb kept looking back as it took one step at a time, and in its anger, it pooped all over the ground.

It thought the seedling tasted good.

Unfortunately, like everyone else in the Wang family, it was also afraid of Old Mrs. Wang.

When Grandma Wang saw the green seedlings, she immediately covered them with thatch again, hugged little Ayu tightly, and hurriedly took her home.

As I passed by the back of the house, I glanced at the banana grove and noticed that the banana tree that had only had one flower a few days ago had already sprouted several bunches of bananas.

At this rate of growth, they might be ready to be picked tomorrow.

"Ayu, you must never let anyone know about that water. Promise Grandma you won't tell anyone!" Grandma Wang's heart was pounding. Even though she had seen a lot, she couldn't calm down completely.

The water on Ayu's body has a significant purpose; if someone with ulterior motives finds out, she will be in danger!

Little Ayu nodded: "Ayu won't tell anyone."

Grandma Wang gave her a few more instructions before carrying her back to the front yard.

"Mom, how are the seedlings in the field? Have they sprouted yet?" Wang Chuanfu asked as he was tidying up the bamboo shoots.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ayu had already returned to Liu's room. She tugged at Liu's sleeve and, in front of her, poured half a ladle of water into the empty wooden gourd: "Mother, drink some water."

Grandma said we can't tell anyone, but Mother is no stranger.

Liu: !!!
