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

At that moment, Madam Tao suddenly understood why she had failed.

Hearing what the gatekeeper said, Madam Yu's unpleasant mood, which had just been affected by the Tao family having white rice, instantly improved.

"Did he really say that?"

Gatekeeper: "Yes, Madam. Steward Zhou said that life at the General's Mansion is tough. He is secretly hoping that you will refuse to send Young Master Chengcheng to the General's Mansion, so that they can get rid of Miss Chengcheng, this big trouble."

Madam Yu smiled and said in a good mood, "Bring Yu Chengcheng out and send her there. Aren't they siblings very close? Let them depend on each other in the General's Mansion."

Want to send Yu Wanwan back? Dream on.

The gatekeeper happily led Yu Chengcheng out.

With one less person in the household, I wonder if he will receive a larger share of the grain.

Butler Zhou took Yu Chengcheng back.

Yu Chengcheng was uneasy the whole way. He was also beside his mother when she was talking to the gatekeeper.

He was very worried about his sister when he learned that the general's mansion was also out of food.

As he walked, he gripped the half-bamboo tube of water hidden in his clothes.

This was water given to him by Madam Tao. He only drank two sips, and carefully put the rest away, thinking of finding an opportunity to send it to his sister.

When Butler Zhou and Yu Chengcheng arrived home, Yu Wanwan was watching her grandchildren plant vegetables.

The servants in the mansion have been collecting the water used by the group for washing over the past few days.

Water the parched, cracked soil in the flower bed.

The land was so dry that they only cleared a small plot for effective irrigation.

It's about three or four square meters.

After several days of watering, the land finally became moist.

Zhou Nan took out the seeds that the steward had given him and handed them to the children.

The fourth brother squatted on the ground and said in a serious tone, "These seeds are too hard. I think they should be soaked in boiling water to soften them so that they can sprout."

The fifth brother stroked his chin: "I saw the cook roast chestnuts. The shells will only burst open if the chestnuts are roasted until they are cooked through. I think the seeds should be roasted first."

The third brother said, "Second brother, stop eating! These are seeds. If you eat them, they will take root and sprout in your stomach, and your stomach will burst."

Yu Wanwan looked at the second brother who was stuffing pumpkin seeds into his mouth, and then at the fourth and fifth brothers who wanted to soak the seeds in boiling water and roast them.

She silently chewed on her lollipop and gazed at the sky.

Instead of growing their own vegetables, they might as well hope that some vegetables will fall from the sky; that would be more practical.

When Yu Chengcheng arrived, she saw the fourth and fifth brothers trying to snatch pumpkin seeds from the second brother's hand.

Yu Wanwan stood to the side without making a fuss, and even looked up at the sky with a normal expression.

He looked confused.

This is different from what he had just heard.

She was also different from the sister he remembered.

"elder sister."

He had already walked up to Yu Wanwan.

He looked at her with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

When my sister used to go crazy, she would often beat him up too.

Yu Wanwan shifted her gaze from the sky to Yu Chengcheng.

"You're here? Have a lollipop first, then you can eat in a bit."

Yu Wanwan took out a lollipop, thoughtfully tore it open, and handed it to Yu Chengcheng.

I glanced at it a few times as I went along.

Like her grandsons a few days ago, they were all thin, dirty, and looked like refugees; a few glances at them would break your heart.

She simply stopped looking, preferring to ignore it.

"After dinner, have a servant take you to take a bath and change your clothes."

Yu Wanwan said another sentence.

Yu Chengcheng took the lollipop.

He smelled the sweetness of the sugar, and the doubt in his eyes deepened.

From the moment he entered, he noticed that Yu Wanwan had a stick in her mouth.

He wondered if the General's Mansion had really run out of food to the point that his sister had to eat sticks.

Now it turns out this wasn't a stick at all, but candy?

The General's Mansion even has candy?

The older sister even said she wanted the servants to take him to take a bath?

Taking a bath uses a lot of water. Is the water in the General's Mansion so plentiful that it can be used for bathing?

He noticed that his sister and the other children were all clean.

He put the lollipop in his mouth with a puzzled look on his face.

The moment the sweetness filled his mouth, all he could think about was the long-lost sweetness, and he forgot everything else.

Yu Wanwan is the grandmother of her grandchildren.

Yu Chengcheng is Yu Wanwan's younger brother.

Yu Chengcheng is their great-uncle.

Seeing their great-uncle arrive, the children immediately dropped what they were doing and gathered around him.

"Grandpa, what flavor of lollipop are you eating? I have orange cream flavor here, which is my favorite. I'll give you mine."

The soft and cute third child took out an orange-cream-flavored lollipop from his sleeve and gave it to Yu Chengcheng.

The fourth brother came over and tried to put his arm around Yu Chengcheng's shoulder, but his height made Yu Chengcheng look down on him, and he himself felt uncomfortable.

Finally, he had no choice but to give up and instead grabbed Yu Chengcheng's arm, acting like they were best buddies: "Uncle, I think the lychee cream flavor is the best. Have you ever eaten lychee before? I heard my grandmother say that lychee is a particularly delicious fruit, but we don't have it in the north, only in the south."

Grandma said she would find a chance to bring some lychees back for us to eat.

Here, I'll give you my lychee cream-flavored lollipop too.

The fifth sister felt she couldn't fall behind, so she gave Yu Chengcheng the peach cream-flavored lollipop she had hidden away: "Grandpa, the peach cream flavor is delicious too."

Do you know what a peach is? My grandmother says I look like a peach. Looking at my face, you should know what a peach is.

Xu Huai'an felt he couldn't lose to the young masters of the General's Mansion who were all trying so hard to please Yu Chengcheng.

He took out his favorite chocolate cream lollipop and said, "Uncle, I'm not Grandma's biological grandson, just a good friend of the fourth brother. But I also really like Grandma and you. This is a chocolate cream lollipop that I kept."

Although its color isn't very appealing, I think it tastes delicious.

……

Yu Chengcheng was biting into a candy, her face full of question marks.

Who is Uncle calling? Besides Butler Zhou, are there any other old men here?

And why does a lollipop come in so many flavors?

There were oranges, lychees, and chocolates—all things he'd never even heard of before.

Why are these people so generous as to give him such precious candy?

Yu Chengcheng suddenly felt like crying.

Having grown up to this age, the first thing he felt was the kindness of others towards him.

Many more were at a loss.

Because they have no experience of receiving kindness, they don't know how to respond.

He turned his gaze to his dearest sister.

Yu Wanwan met his gaze and said, "Take it. They've been eating too much candy these past few days. If they keep eating like this, their teeth will probably rot. You can help them eat some."

Yu Chengcheng listens to her older sister the most.

Regardless of whether it was my sister who used to be crazy or eccentric.

Or perhaps it's this older sister right now, who for some reason doesn't seem to be crazy at all.
