A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling

After returning to the educated youth settlement from Xiaohuzi's house, Yunshu shared Xiaoyun's story with the others. As for the details of Xiaoyun's name change, she only told Jingshu, who had also been given a name with one character.

After listening to this, Jing Shu rushed to deliver some food and old clothes to Xiao Yun before lunch. After all, Xiao Yun was someone who was regarded as a role model, so it was inevitable that she would feel... like she was her own child.

As for the others, they just listened and moved on.

However, Xie Yicheng, after learning that Yun Shu had visited Xiao Huzi's home to see Xiao Yun, told Yun Shu some inside information he had learned about Xiao Huzi and his grandson.

It's actually very simple; it's just bullying honest people.

Just like in another popular period drama fanfiction that Yun Shu watched in the 21st century, Xiao Hu Zi's father's salary and subsidies were intercepted.

As for who intercepted the child, how dare they be so reckless? Blatantly violating discipline. Or perhaps, that person was already certain that Xiaohuzi's father wouldn't be coming back, which is why they dared to act so brazenly—something Xie Yicheng hasn't found out yet.

However, Xie Yicheng felt that the rumors that circulated after Xiaohuzi's father suddenly disappeared were related to the person who withheld his wages and subsidies.

This was something he and Captain Xie came up with privately. After all, Xiao Hu Zi's father was a native of Fengsheng Brigade, and Xie Yi Cheng and the captain had known him for over ten years. They weren't complete strangers, but they weren't exactly estranged either.

Furthermore, everyone in Fengsheng Brigade knew what kind of work Xiaohuzi's father had done back then. He was such a promising young man with a happy family, but in the blink of an eye, he turned out like this. Everyone who saw it felt a pang of regret.

But who exactly was the person behind that was? The captain dared not and could not investigate, since the person capable of doing this was most likely Xiaohuzi's father's former boss or colleague.

More than ten years have passed, and who knows where that person is now? Did he get promoted or something? Little Tiger's father couldn't come forward to testify against their suspicions, so the brigade leader could only use this kind of private care subsidy to at least keep the grandfather and grandson alive.

The best solution is to wait for Xiaohuzi's father to return. Whether he returns in triumph and brings glory to his ancestors, or slinks away in shame and dares not show his face, will be the only way to determine the outcome of Xiaohuzi's family's situation.

Now... they're helpless. With the enemy in the shadows and us in the open, it's easy to alert them.

……

Hearing these words, Yun Shu also fell silent.

After all, this is too realistic, so realistic that it's almost bloody, and it makes people feel helpless.

Thinking of the self-reliant Xiaohuzi and his grandmother, and Xiaoyun who was equally isolated and helpless, Yunshu felt that it was unfair.

Even if Xiaohuzi's father comes back, all the hardships, grievances, and cold words that Xiaohuzi and his grandmother have endured over the years, as well as the bullying they have suffered openly and secretly because their family has no breadwinner, have become an irreversible reality.

What's more... there's also Xiaohuzi's mother and sister, who died along with their unborn child.

When it comes to family, country, and the world, who can distinguish between what is more important? When that moment truly arrives, even condemnation will seem like a sign of ignorance.

So at this moment, Yun Shu suddenly had a slightly extreme hope that Xiao Hu Zi's father had truly given his life for his career. Only in this way could the grandfather and grandson better let go of their tragic lives of the past ten years or so, or perhaps even longer.

In a secluded place, after hearing all the details Xie Yicheng knew, Yun Shu felt quite disappointed.

Xie Yicheng couldn't bear to see her partner looking so dejected, like a drowned puppy. She pulled a roasted sweet potato out of the fire, blew off the ash, wrapped it in some dry leaves she had prepared beforehand, and handed it to Yun Shu.

"Eat up, at least look at the bright side. Little Tiger is almost grown up and will soon be able to support the family. The old man is healthy and has no illnesses or disasters, and you and Lin Zhiqing give him things from time to time."

"The uncles in the brigade all know a little bit about it, and out of consideration for Xiaohuzi's father's past relationship, they have given him a lot of subsidies over the years, both openly and secretly."

"Like this time, Uncle and the others will definitely do their best to help Xiaohuzi's family adopt Xiaoyun. On the one hand, it's to help Xiaoyun get out of her suffering, and on the other hand, it's so that the team can give subsidies more openly and legitimately in the future."

That makes sense. Yun Shu held the still-hot roasted sweet potato in her hands and nodded obediently.

Admittedly, she was indeed comforted by her boyfriend. This means not only is Xiaoyun's situation very promising, but Xiaohuzi and his grandmother's lives will definitely get better and better in the future!

Having figured it out, Yun Shu breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling a bit lighter.

……

Xie Yicheng watched gently from the side while continuing to throw chestnuts and sparrows he and others had caught in the woods the day before into the fire.

After finishing all that, he took the roasted sweet potato that Yun Shu was tossing around in her hand but couldn't bring herself to eat. He carefully peeled off the skin bit by bit until only a third of the skin remained. Then he wrapped the part with the skin still attached in leaves and handed it to Yun Shu so that she could eat it easily.

He quickly ate the little bit of meat still attached to the skin and then diligently continued roasting other things. He didn't eat the other roasted sweet potato; he just left it aside for Yun Shu to cool.

Yun Shu felt she couldn't eat that much, and she felt a little embarrassed to keep letting Xie Yicheng eat the skin, so she urged him to eat quickly, but Xie Yicheng said something else.

"It's alright, this was saved for you. Take it back with you, and if you want something to eat tonight, just put it on the stove lid to heat it up, and it'll be ready in no time."

"Take these chestnuts back and share them with Lin Zhiqing and the others later. The most important thing is these; you've never had them before, have you?"

"Shushu, let me tell you, these roasted sparrows smell amazing! Yesterday, Yimin and I went into the woods and set traps to catch them, but none of them caught as many as I did!"

“Back when we were in the army, we used to indulge in this stuff often, but we didn’t dare to do it too often, for fear of getting caught and being criticized, given a demerit, or punished.”

Looking at the dozen or so plump sparrows beside her that had already closed their eyes, Yun Shu nodded silently; she still believed it.

But as for whether she had ever eaten roasted sparrow, she actually had, but that was a very, very long time ago.

Before she was nine years old in her previous life, she lived in the countryside. Her father was also an expert at catching sparrows. Every winter, these little creatures would appear in their stove pit. They were indeed fragrant and delicious.

But after moving from the countryside to the city, Yun Shu never ate this again. Now that she suddenly saw it, she felt a bit emotional.
