The beloved baby has a space

Ayu first sought out Grandma because she knew that Grandma was the pillar of the family.

Once Grandma is at ease, the rest of the family can be at ease too.

At worst, she can still use her elders' authority, right?
She didn't show favoritism; after visiting her grandmother, she went to visit her mother, father, uncles, aunts, and her brothers and sisters-in-law.

There were also her few male friends and her former companions in Hujia Village.

Some of the villagers stayed in Hujia Village, living a monotonous and comfortable life, while others followed Wang Dalang into business and are now living a prosperous life.

They were unaware of Ayu's situation until the Wang family, who were in the capital, sent someone to the village to inform Wang Dalang and his wife. The two then went to coordinate grain rations and inquire about the news privately.

The other members also helped to find out information, and before long, everyone knew.

Everyone knew the situation but didn't know what to do. All they could do was set aside some extra money at home, so they could give it to the Wang family when they needed it in the future.

Especially Aunt Hu, who has received a lot of care from the Wang family in recent years. Not to mention her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, even her good-for-nothing son and daughter have made a living through the Wang family's connections.

It can be said that no one in the entire Hujia Village escaped the Wang family's favor.

They never take advantage of favors; they treat people the same way they did in the past, and they treat people the same way they do now.

It was precisely because of their kindness and righteousness that they helped Ayu without reservation after she went missing.

Ayu entered the dreams of the people of Hujia Village. Perhaps because of their distant kinship, the scenes in the dream were rather blurry, and they could not remember much of what she said.

But it doesn't matter, just consider it a way to ease Ayu's homesickness.

She saw that Old Master Hu had aged considerably; he looked like a withered tree, growing old and frail.

Ayu felt a pang of sadness. She had clearly asked someone to give medicine to Old Master Hu, so he should be much healthier. Why was he so frail?

Grandpa Hu was still sitting under the big tree at the village entrance. When he saw Ayu, he seemed to be taken aback.

He beckoned to Ayu: "Little girl, come here."

Ayu walked over and sat down on a thick tree root.

Ayu asked, "Grandpa Hu, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Grandpa Hu smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I'm in good health. Everyone respects me and treats me well."

"Then why do you look so old?"

"Everyone gets old," Grandpa Hu asked Ayu. "When you're away from home, do you miss your parents?"

Ayu nodded: "Yes, I miss them very much, and I also miss my brother and sister-in-law."

“I want to too. I’m the youngest child in the family. I remember my older brothers and sisters doted on me. Later, when they got old and became elders of the Hu family village, they still treated me like a child.” Grandpa Hu patted Ayu’s head. “Little girl, I haven’t seen them for more than ten years. I want to go see them.”

Ayu realized something, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

"Grandpa Hu, are you leaving?"

"Yes, it'll be soon. Ah Yu, you must take good care of yourself while you're away. I won't be able to wait for you to come back. Don't be sad. While you're still young, go out and travel further. I will take care of you."

Ayu lowered her head and mumbled, "Yes, I will."

Grandpa Hu waved to her, and his figure gradually faded away.

Ayu woke up crying.

[Baby, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?]

Dreams are mysterious; Tuanzi cannot enter into a dream.

It didn't know what had happened, it could only sense that its cub was very sad.

Ayu just shook her head and wiped away her tears: "It's okay, I just miss home a little. Fairy, can I see them in my dreams every day?"

【No, no! This is against the rules. Letting you use it all night is against regulations because people can easily get lost in dreams and lose sight of reality, making them appear foolish to outsiders.】

Ayu didn't insist, nodded, and remained silent for a while.

She covered herself with the blanket, and her voice came from inside: "Elf, are the things those people in the dream said true?"

Not necessarily. Dreams are all fake; anything in a dream could be fake.

Ayu stopped asking. For the next month, Ayu didn't mention anything about the dream. She focused on being a good link between the savages and her subordinates, ensuring the island's development proceeded smoothly.

That day, Qin Huai suddenly handed A Yu a shovel.

Ayu took it, puzzled: "Brother Ayou, why are you giving me this?"

Qin Huai pulled her along, saying, "Come with me."

The two walked along the other side of the island, and after about half an hour, they arrived at a wide beach.

The beach was covered with white sand, with many seashells and pebbles embedded in it. In the distance, there were scattered reefs, like piles of charred wood.

Ayu still didn't understand what was going to happen.

"When Chitu and the others were scouting, they discovered that the sea recedes every now and then, revealing a large beach," Qin Huai said, pulling Ayu along as they walked forward.

Perhaps because the tide had just receded, the beach was soft, and it felt quite wonderful to walk on.

Qin Huai squatted down, picked up another shovel, and began shoveling into the sea sand.

Digging again, a snow-white seashell was revealed inside. It was hiding in the sand, sticking out its tongue. Caught off guard, it revealed itself and then hurriedly retracted its tongue.

Ayu's eyes widened slightly.

Qin Huai moved another stone, and two fighting crabs ran out from inside.

Qin Huai caught one, but the other ran away. He hurriedly called to Ayu, "Ayu, catch it!"

Ayu's body moved faster than her brain; she took two quick steps and caught the escaped crab.

Haha, that's interesting.

Ayu finally got into the mood and immersed herself in beachcombing.

And so, Qin Huai and A Yu dug in the sand and moved stones, quickly collecting a pile of seafood.

Unable to take them away, they simply left them on the beach. The hidden guards busily took out small bamboo baskets and packed the seafood that their master had painstakingly found.

In the distance, you could hear Ayu asking, "Brother Ayou, how did you come up with such a fun thing?"

Qin Huai said, "I'm usually busy, but Chi Tu and the others are too idle, spending all their time on the beach. That's when they discovered this interesting thing. I thought you would definitely like it, so I brought you here to experience it."

Because his master suddenly abandoned his post, Red Hare, who was busy running around in circles, suddenly sneezed.

The newly formed porcelain piece in my hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces with a "crash".

Tangyuan, who happened to be inspecting the place, immediately scolded, "This was made with ingredients that the master went to great lengths to find, and you're treating it so carelessly. Men are so unreliable when they do things."

Even angrier than him were the group of savages who were guarding the porcelain as it came out of the kiln, intending to enshrine it.

They all bared their teeth and panted at Red Hare.

How dare they waste the efforts of the great sorcerer!

Red Hare: "..."

He really didn't mean it!
Ayu was completely unaware of all this. She and Qin Huai were no longer satisfied with simply going beachcombing; now they went to the rocks to dig for shells.

Tuanzi was still searching through the illustrations and corresponding recipes for her in the space.

【Treasure, this is a jade shell. Its shell used to be used as currency, and it's still very valuable now.】

Its meat can be eaten raw, grilled, or blanched briefly and then dipped in sauce. You can eat it raw, but others should avoid doing so as it may cause stomach upset.

So, a makeshift barbecue grill appeared on the beach.

The overpowering aroma spread across the beach, making the guards' mouths water.

They also became cravings for some unknown creature in the sea.

An unidentified creature climbed onto the reef with the waves. Its huge head looked a lot like the reef, all messy and dirty. It stared longingly at Ayu and Qin Huai, who had their backs to it.
