The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 56 Two Beans Meet
The mountain road was difficult to travel, so the people of Hujia Village set off early in the morning and it took them nearly four hours to reach Yongding County.

Everyone had long lost the will to speak; they were all exhausted, drenched in sweat, and their hands and feet felt weak.

Village Chief Hu was also exhausted.

"Village chief, is the grain stored at the county government office? Should we go there to get it now?" Hu San wiped his sweat.

Another villager said, "Now that we've packed up the grain, we can slowly head back without having to spend the night at the county government office."

The last time I spent the night outside, it was really cold.

Village Chief Hu waved his hand: "No rush, let's find a tea stall to sit down first. There are probably still quite a few people at the county government office. Let's rest first before we go."

The villagers were anxious, but they were also quite tired. If they were to move the grain now, they probably wouldn't have much strength left.

Seeing how tired everyone was, little Ayu tugged at Grandma Wang's sleeve: "Grandma, can we give them some water?"

She saw that everyone looked tired, and after drinking water, she felt less tired.

When Grandma Wang saw the other villagers looking over, she quickly smiled and said, "Then let's listen to the village chief and go have some tea."

Then, without making a sound, he took little Ayu off the cart and said to the others, "You all go to the tea stall for tea first. I'm taking Ayu to visit a relative. See you at the county government office later."

Don't you drink tea?

"No."

Grandma Wang carried little Ayu and headed straight for the county government office, while little Ayu struggled to get down.

"Grandma, I can walk by myself. It's too tiring for you to carry me." She felt tired just walking, so it must be even more tiring for her grandma to carry her.

"Ayu is such a good girl, she even knows how to care for her grandma. Let me take your hand and walk with you." Grandma Wang held little Ayu's hand and, seeing that there was no one around, gently said to her, "Ayu, listen to your grandma, and don't talk about water in front of others in the future."

Xiao Ayu was about to say that she hadn't mentioned water, but then she remembered that she seemed to have.

Oh no, she forgot.

She wanted to cover her mouth, but one hand was being held by her grandmother, and the other was holding a small flower basket, so she couldn't free her hands.

She pursed her lips repeatedly in anxiety.

"Ayu forgot, Ayu is so stupid," she lamented to herself.

Seeing her like this, Grandma Wang said with a smile, "Our Ayu is not stupid. You are just too kind. Kindness is a good thing, but you can't just give away whatever you have. That's not good."

"But in our family, we just give whatever we have." Little Ayu only remembers that there was a big snake in her family, and her grandpa and grandma gave it to the other villagers.

Later, the family had a lot of grain, which Grandma then distributed to the villagers.

Xiao Ayu felt that anything she had that no one else had could be shared.

Grandma Wang: "..." It seems that's really the case.

It seems they've been too generous lately, which isn't good; it could easily lead Xiao Ayu astray.

Grandma Wang decided to shift the blame: "That's because your grandfather was too stupid; he couldn't guard things. We won't be like your grandfather; we'll be smarter children."

Little Ayu didn't quite understand, but she felt that the most powerful person in their family was her grandmother, and she would listen to whatever her grandmother said.

"Mmm! Ayu will be a smart child!"

At that moment, Old Man Wang, who was working in Hujia Village, suddenly sneezed violently.

He rubbed his nose and muttered, "Is my wife scolding me outside again?"

As Grandma Wang and Little Ayu were talking, they walked to the outside of the county government office and saw that there were indeed many villagers receiving their grain.

These are all villages that suffered in this snow disaster. I heard that some of them also suffered from flooding. As the snow melted, it flowed through those villages, flooding some of the villages in the low-lying areas.

A long queue had already formed outside, stretching from the granary entrance next to the county government office all the way to two streets away.

Grandma Wang thought to herself: At this rate, they probably won't be able to receive the food even after two days.

This was the first time little Ayu had seen so many people. She craned her little head to look and asked curiously, "Grandma, what are they doing?" "They're collecting grain. Only with grain and seeds can they go back to farm," Grandma Wang said.

When Xiao Ayu heard about grain seeds, she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten.

"Grandma, Grandma," little Ayu called out, "Could you give Ayu some seeds? Ayu wants to farm too."

Grandma Wang didn't stop walking and casually asked, "What do you need the seeds for? Farming is too hard. Let your father and the others do it."

“Planting with the elves makes really beautiful crops. Ayu is really good at farming!” Little Ayu emphasized, “Ayu showed them to you.”

Grandma Wang stopped in her tracks, realizing that Xiao Ayu was taking the grain seeds to plant them in that unseen place.

She asked, "Ayu, is farming there very tiring?"

"Not tiring, it's fun," Little Ayu answered honestly.

It's all about mind control; you won't get tired at all.

"That's because you drank water," Tuanzi muttered softly.

Try not drinking water; you'll get tired if you do things for too long.

"Alright, Grandma will give you some later." Grandma Wang thought that if the child thought it was fun, then she could let her play with it.

If it's tiring, then forget it. Anyway, my family knows how to farm, and we have that magical water, so we'll always have enough.

There's no need to make the child suffer, lest we break little Ayu's delicate body.

They bypassed the crowd at the side gate and went to another side gate, where a gatekeeper was stationed.

Seeing the grandfather and grandson getting closer, the gatekeeper hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, hey, this is the entrance to the county government office, don't go any further!"

"Young man, we're here to see Lord Zhang. Please inform him," said Old Madam Wang gently.

The gatekeeper saw that the woman was an old countrywoman, and the child she was with was quite good-looking, but the two of them were dressed in coarse cloth, so they probably weren't from a well-off family.

He waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away flies: "Go away, go away! Do you think you can just see Lord Zhang whenever you want? Get out of the way, don't block my way!"

Old Mrs. Wang paused, her hand, which was about to take the jade pendant, then slowly withdrew it, giving the gatekeeper a meaningful look.

Without saying much, he walked around it and left.

Not far along, Grandma Wang said to little Ayu, "Ayu, you must remember, never be that kind of person in the future. Judging people by their appearance and treating them differently based on their status are both major taboos."

Little Ayu touched her head and asked, "Grandma, what does it mean to surround someone? What's a big taboo?"

"That's right—" Old Mrs. Wang wanted to take the opportunity to teach Xiao Ayu some principles of life, but when she turned her head to walk, she didn't notice that she suddenly bumped into a person who was hurrying out of the county government office.

It was a young boy, dressed in fine clothes, with a small jade crown on his head and a translucent jade pendant at his waist.

He looks like a young master from a wealthy family.

He bumped into Old Mrs. Wang's waist without noticing, stumbled back two steps, and landed on his bottom.

The jade pendant at his waist fell to the ground and shattered into two pieces with a crack.

"Young master, are you alright!" Two people rushed over immediately and hurriedly pulled the young boy up.

Little Ayu went to check on Grandma Wang, looking very worried: "Grandma, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself? Ayu will warm you up!"

One of the women grabbed the young boy and stormed over, yelling, "How do you walk, you old hag? How dare you knock down the young master! Guards, seize this wicked woman!"

After he finished speaking, two men who looked like servants came over. They were carrying round wooden sticks and exuded an imposing aura that made people feel uneasy.

Little Ayu stretched out her two little hands and stood in front of Grandma Wang.

The voice was both sweet and firm: "You are not allowed to bully Grandma!"
