I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a

After successfully upgrading, Yu Wanwan looked at the group of children and found them even more adorable.

Isn't this much better than those unruly kids I encountered in my past life?

She inadvertently became overwhelmed with compassion, and Zhou Nan followed suit, distributing all the small bread rolls she had brought.

If one serving isn't enough for everyone, tear it apart and give each person a few bites.

After all the things she brought had been distributed, Yu Wanwan had nothing left to eat.

Their original plan was to come here to pick up Tao Xinran and then follow her back to the Ministry of Revenue's residence.

She learned from the original owner's memories that the wife of the Minister of Revenue treated the original owner quite well, and would speak up for the original owner whenever she saw the original owner's mother mistreating the original owner.

It saved the original owner a lot of suffering when she was at home.

In order to repay the wife of the Minister of Revenue, Yu Wanwan was willing to first collect the points from the children of the Minister of Revenue's residence.

However, she was empty-handed, so there was no point in going to the Minister of Revenue's residence. Perhaps the Minister's wife would take pity on them and offer them the little food she had left.

She wanted the third sister, Pei Shiya, to tell her girlfriends that they would come to visit her again tomorrow.

When she saw her little sister looking up at her expectantly, she asked, "Grandma, can I let Xinran come to our house to play for a few days? Just like Xu Huai'an?"

"I'm afraid Xinran will go hungry when she gets home."

Pei Shiya's eyes were wet, her little face was adorable, and the words she spoke were so kind and sensible.

I can't refuse, I simply can't refuse even a little bit.

Yu Wanwan nodded: "Go and talk to her yourself. If she and her mother agree to let her come to our house, then we will take her back."

Pei Shiya ran back to her friends.

He put his mouth close to his girlfriend's ear and started whispering something.

I don't know what she said to her friend, but her friend initially refused, then nodded vigorously with joy.

After saying that, Pei Shiya took her friend's hand and came to Yu Wanwan's side: "Grandmother, I'm going back to find Xinran's mother with her first. We'll crawl through that dog hole and be back soon. You can wait for us here, okay?"

Yu Wanwan looked in the direction Pei Shiya was pointing and immediately saw the very conspicuous dog hole.

No wonder Tao Xinran was digging for kaolin clay with a group of ordinary people behind the house; it turns out she crawled out from the dog hole.

After receiving Yu Wanwan's permission, Pei Shiya immediately took Tao Xinran to crawl through the dog hole.

The way he practiced it made one wonder if it wasn't Tao Xinran's dog hole, but rather the dog hole of their general's mansion.

About fifteen minutes after they left, the two crawled out of the dog hole again.

Pei Shiya was very excited.

Tao Xinran was excited but also a little embarrassed.

She was also holding a delicate little box in her hands, which, based on Yu Wanwan's limited knowledge, could only be described as exquisite.

Tao Xinran handed the box to Yu Wanwan.

"Grandmother, this is what my mother asked me to give you, as a thank you for letting me stay at your house for a few days."

At a time like this, to agree to let someone else's child stay at her home was indeed a great favor, and Yu Wanwan accepted this gift with a clear conscience.

She took the box and felt that it was quite heavy.

Upon opening it, my eyes were momentarily blinded by its flash.

Madam Tao is really generous; she actually gave her gold directly.

The box contained ten gold ingots.

Each one weighs about two ounces, or one hundred grams.

Ten of them would weigh one kilogram.

The current gold recycling price is around 600, so one kilogram would be worth 600,000.

The cost of taking Tao Xinran in for a few days and feeding her was at most a few hundred yuan.

A few hundred dollars' worth of costs can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands?

This business is incredibly profitable.

Even if it weren't for the system upgrade, Yu Wanwan would now want to bring all the children in the capital to her residence.

“My mother said she knows that giving gold now is useless, but this is all the family can afford right now, and she hopes you can accept it.”

Tao Xinran was a little uneasy after seeing Yu Wanwan take the gold.

Yu Wanwan closed the box and said with a smile, "When you get home, please thank your mother for me. I really like these things."

Gold is useless to them, but it's extremely useful to her, who will soon be transported back to the modern world.

She absolutely adores these gold pieces.

***

Most of the children who participated in distributing the candy today only took a bite before putting the candy away.

They couldn't bear to eat such delicious and rare food all at once.

Among the children who participated in distributing the candy was Chen Ping, a servant of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. He was about the same age as Xu Huaicheng and had been Xu Huaicheng's page before the famine began.

A year after the famine began, the teachers at the academy were starving and too weak to teach, so the academy had to close down.

Xu Huaicheng couldn't even get enough to eat at home, let alone waste time studying.

Chen Ping would no longer need to do the work of a page.

They could only search for food with the other servants in the mansion every day.

He was too young, so it was usually the older servants who went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and tree roots, while he stayed at the foot of the mountain and dug some clay with the others to fill his stomach.

In the evening, he returned to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion with the adults.

When he returned, he would stand guard outside Xu Huaicheng's courtyard, ready to serve Xu Huaicheng at any time.

After delivering the millet paste made in the kitchen to Xu Huaicheng's room, he sat down in the corridor.

But unlike before when he would sit down and greedily inhale the smell of the batter in the air, today he sat in the corridor, occasionally picking up something and licking it, and was as satisfied as if he had obtained the whole world.

What are you licking?

Suddenly, a furious shout startled him so much that he jumped up.

In his panic, he dropped all the White Rabbit candies in his hand onto the ground.

Xu Huaicheng, who usually eats porridge in his room at this time, was standing in front of him for some reason.

"No, no...it's nothing," Chen Ping stammered, then hurriedly squatted down to pick up the White Rabbit candy from the ground.

A pair of chubby little hands picked up the milk candy before he could.

Xu Huaicheng looked at the milky white White Rabbit candy in his hand, which was now sticky from being licked, and asked in confusion, "What is this? Why does it smell so sweet and have a milky aroma?"

"You were just licking this thing?"

Without waiting for Chen Ping's reply, he stuffed the milk candy into his mouth.

They didn't mind at all that there was someone else's saliva on the candy.

He chewed with smacking sounds.

"It's candy! It's delicious! You secretly ate candy behind my back?"

After saying that, "slap, slap, slap."

Three slaps landed on Chen Ping's face.

Chen Ping, who was already so thin that he could barely stand, was slapped so hard that he fell to the ground.

"If there is a next time, I will have you dragged out and beaten to death with sticks."

"Now I'm giving you one last chance. Quickly take out all the candy you have."
