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

Xu Huaicheng's mind is now filled with nothing but White Rabbit milk candy.

He frantically ordered Chen Ping to go out and find it for him.

If it weren't for the fact that there was so much sand on the ground and nothing to rinse his mouth, he would have loved to lie down where he had just picked up the candy and lick off the last bit of sweetness left on it.

General's Mansion.

Dinner is still being prepared in the kitchen.

The grandchildren love White Rabbit milk candy, and Yu Wanwan was worried they would be hungry, so she asked the housekeeper to bring out another bag of White Rabbit milk candy for them to share.

When Xu Huai'an was peeling the candy, he accidentally dropped it on the ground.

He immediately picked it up, intending to put it in his mouth.

Yu Wanwan happened to be looking over and saw this scene. She quickly slapped the White Rabbit candy out of Xu Huai'an's hand.

"The things that fell on the ground are too dirty to eat."

"If you're going to eat one, eat this one."

She grabbed an unopened White Rabbit milk candy from the table and gave it to Xu Huai'an.

Xu Huai'an obediently took the candy, then looked at the one on the ground with heartache.

Yu Wanwan said he couldn't pick them up and eat them, so he didn't dare to.

Soon, dinner was prepared in the kitchen, and Butler Zhou personally delivered the food with his men.

Dinner tonight is rice porridge again.

I also opened three cans of fermented black bean dace and stir-fried a few packets of pickled vegetables.

This meal, which would be considered extremely simple by modern standards, was the best meal Tao Xinran had eaten in a long time.

She ate with tears in her eyes.

Yu Wanwan, however, was getting a little tired of the food.

She ate plain porridge for three days in a row, and now she feels nauseous whenever she sees porridge.

She felt that her grandsons should be like her, and since they had all eaten porridge for so many days, their digestive systems had recovered.

If any of them haven't been properly cared for, and problems arise from eating them, then you can start feeding them porridge again to help them recover.

However, she felt that there was unlikely to be any problems.

These children have even eaten Guanyin clay, and they didn't have any problems eating it. How could they get sick from eating a bowl of white rice?

He then said to Butler Zhou, "Butler Zhou, have the kitchen prepare white rice for lunch tomorrow."

After the meal, following Yu Wanwan's lifelong habit, it was time for some dessert fruit.

There's no fruit available right now.

She simply gave each of the children a lollipop.

She took a bite herself.

They are all fruit and milk flavored lollipops.

These past few days, my grandchildren thought that White Rabbit milk candy was the best candy in the world. After licking a lollipop, they realized how short-sighted they were.

"This lollipop is so delicious! Besides milk flavor, it also has fruit flavor. Plus, it's hard and lasts a long time."

The fourth child is obsessed with lollipops.

Xu Huai'an also loves lollipops.

He was so hungry at the Duke of Dingguo's mansion yesterday that he fainted, but he never expected that today he would not only be able to eat his fill, but also enjoy such delicious candy.

He looked at the fourth brother sincerely and said, "Haoyu, thank you, thank you for bringing me to your home."

The fourth brother, with a lollipop in his mouth, arrogantly raised a hand and put it on Xu Huai'an's shoulder: "Hey, we're like family, saying thank you would be too formal."

"Pfft"

Looking at the fourth brother's mature-beyond-his-years appearance, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Tao Xinran savored her lollipop with relish, while glancing at Pei Shiya with a hesitant air.

Pei Shiya immediately understood her meaning and said directly to Yu Wanwan, "Grandmother, I promised Xinran that if she comes home with me, I can let her take a bath. Can I ask the housekeeper to give her some water?"

Now Yu Wanwan finally understood the reason why Pei Shiya had made Tao Xinran return to the General's Mansion with her.

It seems that girls are indeed more hygienic.

Tao Xinran must have been unable to bear being so dirty, which is why she didn't think twice and shamelessly followed them back.

It was just a bucket of water; considering the kilogram of gold, she agreed.

"Since you're going to wash, wash your hair too. Tell the housekeeper to boil another bucket of water. Huai'an, you wash too, wash your hair as well."

I might as well not skimp on the water.

Her space has expanded now, so she can bring more water next time.

***

"Useless! Everyone else can find candy, but you can't find anything."

"What use are you to our Duke's mansion?"

"You don't even know whose house the person who found the candy in the first place belongs to. You're so useless, why don't you just die?"

Xu Huaicheng waited anxiously at home for Chen Ping to return with the White Rabbit milk candy.

In the end, nothing came of it.

Enraged, he kicked Chen Ping.

"Exactly, it's completely useless."

After hearing her brother describe how delicious White Rabbit milk candy was, Xu Yingying couldn't help but swallow her saliva; she wanted to try it too.

She hasn't tasted sugar for almost a year.

"Brother, let's just drag him out and beat him to death."

Xu Yingying looked at her brother and suggested.

Xu Huaicheng was about to nod when he shook his head.

After having Chen Ping dragged out, he explained to Xu Yingying, "He's still useful. I heard that people outside the capital are eating human flesh. If it doesn't rain for another six months, our family will have nothing to eat. At that time, he might become our food."

Xu Yingying turned pale with fright.

She nodded anyway: "I'll listen to my brother."

Then she thought of something: "Brother, do you think Xu Huai'an is dead?"

"He fainted yesterday. There's definitely no food for him when he gets to the General's Mansion. Do you think that crazy woman there might see him starving to death and have someone eat his flesh?"

Xu Huaicheng scoffed, "It's definitely a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."

"As for whether or not people will eat his flesh, if he can be eaten after he dies, then he will have died a worthy death. I am even a little envious of him."

"Haha, bro, I'm envious of him too."

***

Xu Huai'an slept in the same room as Lao Si.

He had already taken a bath and washed his hair; the servants of the general's mansion had wrung out his hair as well.

For the past two years, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion has prevented him from taking a bath in order to save water.

He hadn't felt this refreshed in over two years.

He felt so comfortable that he rolled around on the bed.

She still had the lollipop in her mouth, which she had been reluctant to finish all at once.

The fourth child kicked him: "Grandma said that after we finish eating the candy, we have to rinse our mouths before we go to sleep, otherwise our teeth will all rot."

"Grandma also said that in a few days she will ask the gods for some toothbrushes, the kind that are like willow branches, and toothpaste, so that we can brush our teeth properly after we get up and before we go to bed."

The fourth son didn't even realize that his catchphrase had changed from "Huai'an said" to "Grandma said".

Xu Huai'an hummed in agreement, somewhat envious: "Your grandmother is so kind; she's become very capable."

The fourth child said proudly, "Yes, my grandmother is wonderful."

That night, both Yu Wanwan and the children slept very well.

The next day, I got up and first ate breakfast, then racked up some points.

Yu Wanwan was planning to go out and find the kids to earn more points, just like yesterday.

The gatekeeper came in to deliver a message.

"Madam, someone is looking for you at the door."
