Water Delivery

Seeing everyone’s concerned gazes, Little Ah Yu felt very embarrassed. She seemed to have done something wrong.

[When there’s someone around, you can’t go straight to the spatial pocket. Once your consciousness leaves, your body will fall asleep.]

[If you fall asleep and everyone can’t wake you up, they’ll be worried about you.]

Little Ah Yu understood. She was a little uneasy and her little hands were twisted together. “Did I do something wrong?”

Meatball: “… That’s not considered wrong.”

The two of them communicated with their minds very quickly. Before Little Ah Yu could figure out the situation, Liu Shi had already found the goat milk she had prepared and fed it to Little Ah Yu.

The mother sheep had already been crushed to death by the snow, and the goat milk they had saved was no more than a bowl. After drinking it, there was no more.

Initially, Little Ah Yu did not dare to eat too much. She would either give it to others after a few bites, but the Wang family did not allow her to do so.

After coaxing her, she was no longer trembling with fear. At least the food given to her could be finished.

Third Aunt Hu brought over a plate of dried vegetable balls. In winter, this was a rare item.

Liu Shi was a little embarrassed. “Didn’t you leave this for your third son?”

All the families had provided supplies, but they did not use up everything. They had to leave something for their families.

“He’s not coming back. It’s useless to leave it for him. It’s fine if the adults eat less. Don’t starve the child.” Third Aunt Hu waved her hand and left.

There were many things to do now.

Seeing that Little Ah Yu was fine and her expression was normal, the others also left some food suitable for children and left.

After Madam Liu sent the villagers away, she sat down and tidied up the surroundings. All the blankets and cushions in the house had been moved into the cave. They had to be placed properly so that they would not feel uncomfortable when they slept.

According to the village head, everyone could only go back to live after the snow melted. The places allocated to each family were not big, and they could barely squeeze together.

It felt a little like hiding in a bunker.

“Ah Yu, go play with your brothers. Stay in the cave and don’t go out.” Liu Shi called out to Little Ah Yu as usual.

As long as the children who grew up in the village were weaned, the adults would basically not guard them anymore and would only let the older children take care of the younger ones.

Children grew up faster after experiencing the wind. They only need to be fed and treated by a doctor when sick. They would be raised slowly like that.

Liu Shi saw that Ah Yu was still holding a small sweet potato that she could not bear to eat. She pulled out a worn-out cloth from the pile of old cotton cloth and with a few quick moves with the needle and thread, it became a small bag.

“Come, put it in the bag.” Madam Liu hung the small bag on Little Ah Yu’s neck.

Ah Yu was extremely curious and lowered her head to look from time to time.

Wow, it could store things!

Liu Shi looked at her excited eyes and asked, “Do you like it?”

“I like it!” Little Ah Yu hugged the bag and nodded heavily. “I like it so much!”

She had never had anything like this before. Mother was so good.

Seeing that she liked it, Liu Shi thought to herself that when spring came, she would spend a few coins to buy some new rags and put them together to make a better-looking little bag. Ah Yu would definitely like it even more.

She would just have to make do with this for now.

Little Ah Yu put the sweet potato into the bag before going to look for her brothers.

The boys from the Wang Family were being dragged to the empty space next door by Old Madam Wang to be lectured because their sister had fainted under their noses. It must be because this group of brothers were not doing their best.

“You guys only know how to eat all day. You only grow taller and don’t have any brains. The little bit of food your sister eats is only enough to fit through the gaps of your teeth! Yet, you can even make your sister faint from hunger. You guys are really something!

Half-grown kids like you have already eaten the older folks in the family to the point of bankruptcy. Are you trying to starve your little sister to death with your greedy appetites? You have to have a conscience. Has your conscience been eaten by pigs?”

Old Madam Wang was really angry. Not to mention how much she valued her granddaughter, even if it was just repayment for the contributions that Ah Yu had made, she had to treat her well. But these little brats!

The seven brothers were each more aggrieved than the other. They were just short of holding their sister in their mouths to protect her. How could they bear to treat her badly? However, no one dared to refute Grandma’s words and could only suffer in silence.

“Grandma—” Little Ah Yu jumped over, and the two little buns bounced around above her head.

“Aiyo, my little darling, are you full? Are you still hungry?” Old Madam Wang picked up Little Ah Yu and carried the little person gently. She frowned. “Why are you still so light? Did you not eat well?”

“I ate! I’m so full.” Little Ah Yu stretched her neck and really let out a small burp. She immediately smiled until her eyes narrowed. “Look, I’m full!”
