The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 64 Truffles
The older brothers took little Ayu to the mountain to dig for things, mainly various wild fruits.

In early spring, the plants are just beginning to grow, and few fruits have formed yet, but you can always find some.

For Xiao Ayu, as long as she can go up the mountain, she is happy regardless of whether she can find anything.

The small hoes and sickles made of oak trees are certainly not as sharp as those made of iron, but they are barely usable by Xiao Ayu.

Because it hasn't been sharpened, it's relatively safe.

"Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, Ayu, you wait here for a moment, we'll go check behind the mountain." After saying goodbye to Third Brother, he headed towards the back of the mountain.

That side is relatively steep, so it would be too restrictive to bring my younger siblings along.

Wu Lang was still wondering if they could find a few more pheasants, and Liu Lang and Qi Lang were naturally very excited as well.

"If we can find more pheasants, we can have meat at home again!" Last time they found three pheasants, but they only ate two of them.

There was one left, which was taken to town a couple of days ago to be exchanged for grain. Wang Chuanman made a special trip for it.

The grain in the town was a little different from the grain transported back from the county seat, but as long as they could fill their stomachs, they didn't care!

Qilang said, "We found it in these bushes last time, right? Let's look carefully again this time."

Little Ayu waved her little sickle, shouting, "I want to find it too! I want to find it too!"

Goro felt that since Little Ayu had caught a pheasant and a lamb on her own last time, he didn't look down on his younger sister at all.

"Okay, let's go look for it together, Ayu. Maybe she'll find it before us!" Ayu's luck is always better than theirs.

Little Ayu was naturally very happy, but she felt a little tired after searching for a while.

She scurried around in the grass, and her little clothes were covered in sticky stuff.

"Oh dear, my clothes!" Her clothes were covered in tiny black things, because her little pockets were also covered in them.

"Haha, that's beggar-ticks, just pull it off." Goro saw that Little Ayu was busy with both hands, pulling off the beggar-ticks on her body.

Bidens pilosa, as its name suggests, is black and sticky; once it sticks to your body, it won't come off unless you peel it off.

Little Ayu pouted and looked pitifully at Wulang: "Fifth Brother, Ayu's clothes don't look good anymore..."

Wang Wulang: "...Don't move, I'll come and clean it up for you."

He couldn't bear to laugh at Ayu's pitiful expression.

It's perfectly normal for people who run in the mountains to get those kinds of things on their bodies.

Sometimes when I turn around, I'm covered in them, like a hedgehog.

Little Ayu sat obediently on a rock, waiting for Goro to help her remove the beggar-ticks from her body, refusing to go into the bushes no matter what.

Wang Wulang had no choice but to take the small sickle and give her the small hoe so she could dig and play with it.

Little Ayu would run around in more spacious places, being careful not to touch the beggar-ticks again.

Her clothes were new. After her second aunt finished cutting clothes for the family, she specially saved some scraps of fabric and made a little skirt for her.

She loves it and doesn't want it to get dirty!
Suddenly, the little dumpling in the space said, "Go dig under that pine tree over there."

Little Ayu asked herself this question as she started walking into the woods with her short legs: "What is a pine tree?"

"Look, that leaf looks like a needle, kind of like the one stuck to you, but bigger and longer... Yes, right there."

Under Tuanzi's guidance, Xiao Ayu finally found a pine tree.

Move over a little and dig slowly, don't use too much force.

She dug and dug with her little hoe, unearthing some dark soil.

Keep going, you'll see it soon!

After digging for a while, Xiao Ayu saw some small, round things appear in the soil.

"Wow, black fruits!" Little Ayu saw the black fruits in the soil and reached out her little hand to grab them.

The black fruit has a distinct flavor that Xiao Ayu can't quite describe. It tastes a little fragrant, a little bitter, and also has an earthy flavor.

Wang Wulang searched for a long time but found nothing, so he hurried over to look for Xiao Ayu.

He saw little Ayu squatting under the pine tree with her little bottom sticking out.

She actually dug a small hole.

"Ayu, what are you doing?" Wulang rushed over and his eyes widened when he saw what little Ayu was holding. "Oh dear, why did you pick up that donkey dung ball? Throw it away!"

"Huh?" Little Ayu didn't know what donkey dung balls were and looked at Wulang with a blank expression. Liulang and Qilang ran over when they heard the noise. They also saw what Little Ayu was holding in her hand and a pile of them in the field next to her.

Liu Lang clutched his stomach and laughed heartily: "Who was so wicked as to bury donkey dung in the ground!"

Qilang couldn't stop laughing: "Get rid of it, get rid of it, little sister Ayu, that thing stinks!"

Before the village chief's donkey was crushed to death by the snow, the village children often went to see it, and of course they saw the donkey's droppings, which looked like round, black dung balls.

It's exactly the same as the one that Xiao Ayu is holding now.

"It doesn't smell bad at all." It even smells a little nice.

Little Ayu was completely confused. After her older brothers explained things to her one after another, she quickly put down what she was holding.

She said, sounding a little aggrieved, "Elf... my brothers all say it's donkey dung... Waaah, Ayu has become smelly..."

She didn't think it smelled bad at first, but after her brothers said it, she realized it did.

She felt a little like crying and wanted to run into the space to pluck the elf's fur.

She touched donkey dung, and her hands got dirty.

Woohoo...

【…】

The little dumpling was so angry it almost laughed. If it had facial features, it would look absolutely ferocious right now.

[Pah! Pah! Pah! What donkey dung? That's a truffle! A black truffle, you know?!]

In your world, this thing is very valuable!

The little dumpling finally managed to identify something quite valuable, but a bunch of kids called it a donkey dung ball and even scared its cub. How could it not be angry?

Little Ayu's expression changed immediately, and she asked cautiously, "Isn't this a donkey dung ball?"

Actually, Xiao Ayu didn't know what donkey dung looked like; she had never even seen a donkey before!

The village chief's donkey hasn't been bought yet.

But in her heart, elves don't lie; elves are exceptionally clever.

【Of course not! Pick it up quickly, it's very valuable, you can make money from it!】

Go back and get it for your grandmother, so she can sell it for money!

Heaven help it, this old Wang family is really too poor, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to get their son to earn money.

With money, you can get land; with land, you can grow food; with food, you can complete the task of growing food, and your space can be upgraded.

It's such a smart caregiver, knowing how to solve problems at their source!
"Mmm, give it to Grandma, give it to Grandma."

Little Ayu didn't mind anymore. She opened her little pocket, picked up the small flower basket on the side, and picked up the black truffles one by one and put them in.

Wang Wulang quickly tried to stop her: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, this is donkey dung, it stinks! Don't pick it up!"

"No, this is a good thing," Little Ayu said earnestly. "I'll take it home and show it to Grandma."

Once Xiao Ayu sets her mind on something, she will definitely do it well, and no one can change her mind.

Wulang had only one thought in his mind: "It's over. If Grandma finds out that Sister Ayu went to play with donkey dung, they're definitely going to get a beating."

"Alright, let's pick them up together." Wang Wulang resigned himself to his fate and pulled over Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang, who were looking disgusted, as well, "You two can pick them up too."

Of course, everyone should be criticized and sullied together.

Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang: "..."

A little while later, Saburo and Shiro also arrived.

"Third brother, fourth brother, come on!" Wang Wulang jumped over, grabbed one of them with each hand, and pulled them into the pit.

Little Ayu had already directed Wulang to dig two more pits nearby.

Wang Sanlang and Wang Silang: "..."

Everyone was forced to join the ranks of those collecting "donkey dung."

Everyone except Xiao Ayu wore a bitter and resentful expression.

Several older brothers (tears streaming down their faces): Raising a little sister is so hard! We have to find wild fruits for her to eat and even scavenge for donkey dung... Waaah...
