Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi chose a red convertible electric tricycle. It wasn't a large vehicle, but it could hold quite a lot of things.

This isn't prohibited in the countryside, so of course it can carry people.

Akahoshi sat in the back. When they bought the car, the owner gave them two small stools and a case of mineral water as a gift, and also helped them arrange their belongings.

Shen Yu was driving ahead. She glanced back at Chi Xing and, seeing his excitement, reminded him:

"Xingxing, hold on tight, don't fall."

Akahoshi immediately grabbed the edge railing on the car to show that she was holding on, looking incredibly obedient.

The road back was flat, and Shen Yu drove slowly. The orange-yellow sunset shone on the two of them. Chi Xing held onto the car railing with one hand and the straw hat he had put on with the other.

Passing by a field, the crops in the field were almost ripe, and the large grains of millet weighed down the seedlings.

Shen Yu asked 250: "Does the Chixing family own any land?"

250: [There are eight mu of paddy fields and six mu of dry land. The village chief rented them out, leaving only one mu of dry land for His Highness to grow vegetables. The annual rent is about ten thousand yuan.]

Seeing Shen Yu frown, 250 added: "The cost of living is low in the countryside, so His Highness's annual expenses are sufficient. With the help of the village chief and others, he has lived quite well on his own these past few years."

When the tricycle arrived at the door, Shen Yu got off to open it herself, and then rode the tricycle inside.

After stopping in front of the small building, Shen Yucai called for Chixing to get out of the car.

"Is it hot?" Shen Yu asked Chi Xing.

The setting sun was still a bit hot, and a breeze brought the smells of cooking fires from the villagers.

Akahoshi got out of the car and laughed, "It's not hot, time to cook rice."

He could smell the fire burning at Xiao Hu's house next door.

Just then, there was a loud knocking on the front door, and someone shouted, "Is anyone home?"

Shen Yu went out to open the door, and there was a child of eight or nine years old, holding a rough porcelain bowl with more than half a bowl of chicken in it.

"Huh? Brother, I'm looking for Ah Xing."

"I'm here, Little Tiger, you've come?" Akahoshi walked out from inside.

Little Tiger had a cheerful face, his skin a dark reddish-brown. Upon seeing Red Star, he handed him over, saying:

"My mom asked me to bring this to you. It's cooked and you can eat it right away. It's delicious."

Akahoshi smelled the fragrance, but he subconsciously looked at Shen Yu, as if asking if he should accept it.

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Take whatever you want to eat. We'll send some vegetables over to them later too."

"Okay." Akahoshi took the bowl of chicken and thanked Koko.

Xiao Hu simply nodded in response, then ran off in a flash.

Chi Xing, holding the meat, said to Shen Yu, "He used to be so talkative, but I don't know why he's not saying a word today."

Shen Yu thought to herself that the child was probably shy because she was there.

"Let's go, let's start cooking too."

He walked ahead and first took out the cooked food and meat he had bought, only to discover that Akahoshi's family didn't have a refrigerator at all.

Shen Yu put the extra beef she bought into her spatial storage, making sure Chi Xing didn't see it.

Take out a clean plate, put the bowl of chicken in it, cover it with a lid, and give it to Akahoshi later.

After washing the bowl, Shen Yu divided some roast duck and roast pork into portions and filled the bowl.

The two of them bought most of it. He himself wasn't that picky about food, and since he lived in the village, he always felt obligated to reciprocate.

"Xingxing, take this bowl back to Xiaohu's house. If they don't accept it, put the bowl down and leave. Don't bring it back or eat any of it."

Shen Yu gave the bowl of roast duck to Chi Xing and asked him to take it over.

"Oh." Chi Xing left with the bowl, and Shen Yucai washed the rice and put it in the pot, then took out the other ingredients to cook.

Just as he was chopping vegetables, the outer gate slammed shut, and Akahoshi rushed in.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Shen Yu asked, noticing his flustered expression.

Chi Xing let out a breath: "Xiao Hu's grandma insisted that I eat at her house, so I ran away."

He said somewhat aggrievedly, "Brother, I won't go next time. They'll chase after me, and I'm scared."

Shen Yu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, they're just being polite."

He followed a video on his phone to make a dish of minced pork and eggplant, stir-fried leafy greens, roast duck and roast pork, and a bowl of stir-fried chicken, making a total of four dishes.

The two ate dinner quietly. Akahoshi hadn't had roasted duck leg in a long time, and he looked very satisfied.

After dinner, Shen Yu ordered a large refrigerator online, which would be delivered to her home in a few days.

“Xingxing, don’t you think the yard is too empty? How about we buy some potted plants and grow some flowers?” Shen Yu suggested.

Akahoshi didn't understand these things, but he liked his older brother, so he listened to everything he said.

"You decide."

He's so silly, Shen Yu was worried he'd be scammed and end up counting money for the scammers.

"Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you? What if I'm a bad person? You have to listen to everything I say."

Without hesitation, Akahoshi replied, "No, they said you saved me and they want to repay you properly."

This is what Xiaohu's family said when I went to deliver the bowls. They said Shen Yu is a good person.

Chixing knew that Shen Yu was this handsome older brother; in fact, he had seen Shen Yu the day he came to the village.

At the time, I just wanted to stay away. Akahoshi was afraid of being called an idiot, so he would keep his distance from strangers.

Seeing him struggling in the water, Akahoshi jumped in without thinking, and when he woke up, he saw his brother.

He loves his older brother very much and wants to be with him all the time.

Thinking this way, Chixing did just that. That night, he sat on Shen Yu's bed, hugging his teddy bear.

Shen Yu settled into the second bedroom. He had just finished washing up when he saw Chi Xing sitting on his bed, yawning, wearing a short-sleeved white T-shirt and loose dark shorts, holding a Mr. Bean-style teddy bear.

Seeing him come out, Chi Xing flashed a bright smile, revealing his clean, white teeth, and Shen Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:

"What are you doing here?"

Akahoshi, looking completely at ease, patted the bed and said, "Brother, I want to sleep with you, is that okay?"

Shen Yu looked at his innocent face and couldn't bear to do anything: "Why? Didn't I just change your blanket?"

"I just want to sleep here." Akahoshi suddenly acted spoiled, lying down on the soft bed and covering himself with the blanket.

I want to be with you.

His voice was muffled, and he only had this one thought in his mind. His big eyes looked pitiful, as if he would be a bad person if Shen Yu didn't agree.

She wanted to tease him, but seeing that he was so sleepy his eyes were almost closed, Shen Yu went to draw the curtains and said softly, "Okay, you can sleep if you want."

The bed is 1.8 meters wide, which is more than enough for two people to sleep in.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Akahoshi was so happy that she lifted her legs twice, then put the teddy bear aside, closed her eyes, and fell asleep instantly.

Shen Yu chuckled softly, gently pulled off the blanket covering his mouth and nose, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed. Suddenly, her phone received a message.

Upon opening my phone, I saw several unread messages pop up:

Second Brother: [Little brother, where have you been? I'm coming to find you.]
