Chapter 142 Su Li left home

"Is there really no better way?"

Zhizhi's eyes reddened. Her little head couldn't think of many complicated things, but she clearly understood one thing: she must never lose her big brother.

They are not related by blood, but they are already family members etched into each other's bones.

Yuan Hui's eyes were clear as he carefully reviewed the military regulations in his mind.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly. "If Gan Su had any way to survive back then, Uncle Jiang probably wouldn't have insisted on adopting him, and wouldn't have even mentioned it to outsiders, treating him like his own son."

This is an unsolvable problem. If Gan Su wants to keep his parents' homestead, he has to go back.

However, he was too young, and if he went back home, there would be no one to take care of him, and he would also be easily pressured by his uncle's family.

If we don't go back, we can't save it.

They've returned home, and they're safe for now, but in rural areas, it's common for children to die in accidents when they're orphaned.

Zhizhi sniffed, not wanting others to see her embarrassed state as she shed tears.

"Brother Yuanhui, you're so smart, yet you didn't have a better solution. What should we do with that nest...?"

Yuan Hui gently rubbed her head, his tone hesitant, "Wait until tomorrow. After tomorrow, I'll ask my parents for you. Maybe they can help."

The next morning

The little cub was awakened from its sleep by a gentle voice.

[Ding! Little master, the black-boned chicken is ready. Please choose a cooking method. The space provides you with:]

1. Ginseng and Rooster Soup

2. Boneless Fried Black Chicken Nuggets

3. Authentic Henan-style Xinjiang-style Big Plate Chicken (Black Chicken Version)

She sat up abruptly, looking sleepily at the warm illusion around her. It turned out that she had accidentally rolled into the space to sleep last night.

Huh?

Are there really so many ways to cook black-boned chicken?

Zhizhi smacked her lips, her mouth watering just from hearing the name of the recipe.

"Personal attack... Oh no, ginseng and rooster soup, that sounds really nourishing. Space Sister, please make it this flavor for me, I need to nourish my aunt."

[Okay, it'll be ready for you in ten minutes. Your toothbrush and washcloth are next to the spring, and the water is set to warm. You can use the pink basin to wash up, and soon you'll be enjoying some incredibly delicious chicken soup!]

After the space broadcast the reminder, it disappeared. The little cub followed the path behind the spiritual spring and saw a small earthenware pot in the warehouse, where steam was bubbling and rising.

Inside the black storage bag on the outside were chicken feathers from the black-boned chicken.

"Ah-oh... ..."

Zhizhi shook her head, confused. "Chickens are cute, and they're even cuter when they're slaughtered and served fresh."

As soon as the little chick finished speaking, a bunch of white-feathered black-boned chickens in the chicken farm frantically flapped their wings. These were hardly cute human chicks; they were clearly living ancestors sharpening their knives to slaughter pigs and sheep.

Zhizhi brushed her teeth carefully, with white foam at the corners of her mouth. After spitting out the toothpaste, she knelt on the grass and began to wipe her face with a towel.

The space is kept at a constant temperature and humidity, and even the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits.

Winter is cold, and ripe fruits like citrus are all the rage right now. But in this space, mangoes and watermelons have also been scientifically cultivated to grow big and plump, making your mouth water just looking at them.

With her shopping basket in hand, Zhizhi walked to the patch of black soil. Four rows of lush green vines climbed the ground, and beneath the dense foliage were bright red Dandong strawberries, each one seemingly ripe and juicy.

This land has specially formulated soil, and the strawberries that grow here are all rich and sweet, each one bigger than a baby's fist.

Zhizhi picked about ten bananas and then pulled down two handfuls of bananas before leaving the space, completely satisfied.

As a faint light flashed before her eyes, Zhizhi sat up in bed and began to struggle to put on her clothes.

Long underwear, socks, cotton pants, a shirt, and a light purple cloak that Mom washed and dried, smelling wonderful.

The little cub dressed herself and looked at the clay pot that had already been placed in the kitchen. She grinned.

Since the appearance of Sister Space, the Spirit Spring Space has become exceptionally humane; even the ginseng chicken soup is kept warm on the stove.

"Auntie! Want some strawberries?"

The little boy excitedly carried fruit and knocked on his aunt's door. A moment later, Aunt Xuetong rubbed her eyes and came out.

"Wow, why are you up so early? Where are your parents?"

"I don't know. My mom and dad were gone after I woke up. They probably went to work." Zhizhi said as she handed the fruit basket to her aunt.

"Auntie, you eat. There's chicken soup in the pot. I'll go wake up my older brother and younger brother!"

Watching the adorable little dumpling run off like a gust of wind, Xue Tong was stunned for a full three seconds before a envious smile appeared on her lips.

"Who wouldn't want a grateful little girl like Zhizhi?"

She looked down at her slightly protruding belly, which wasn't very noticeable yet, and gently touched it. "Baby, everyone says prenatal education is very important. Can you learn from your older sister Zhizhi and become an amazing baby after you're born?"

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like the baby moved inside her belly after she said those words.

Huh? It's only two months old, it shouldn't be moving.

It must just be her imagination, Xue Tong sighed, her eyes brimming with unprecedented love and expectation.

"You came into this world carrying the hopes of me and your father. It's okay if you don't understand things yet; we still welcome you."

Just as Su Xuetong sat down to rest, she suddenly saw Zhizhi rushing out of the bedroom.

"Big brother is missing!"

Zhizhi tugged at Zhenwei's hand, her voice filled with anxiety, "Tell me quickly, where did big brother go?"

Zhenwei covered his mouth with both hands in alarm and shook his head frantically.

"&*#￥%Do not expose%……&*"

"What are you babbling about?" Zhizhi yanked his hand away, her chubby face showing suppressed anger. "Tell me the truth, has your big brother been kidnapped by bad guys?!"

Zhenwei pouted and tapped his finger, looking aggrieved. "My brother told me not to say... I can't betray my brother."

*Smack!* Jiang Zhizhi flicked his forehead, her tone full of threat, "Little brother, you're on the same side as big brother, right? You're not close to me, are you? Then I'll tell Mom later that you're an accomplice!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't say that! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Zhenwei was genuinely afraid of her. He hesitated for a long time before pulling a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket.

"My older brother knows you heard about him and guessed you wouldn't let him leave, so he sneaked out of the house last night. Before he left, he told me not to tell anyone too soon and to show you the note tonight."

Zhizhi angrily snatched the note, opened it, and found it contained lines of writing in pencil.

She frowned and stared at it for a long time, her expression growing increasingly serious.

Su Xuetong was startled by her expression and quickly asked, "What did it say on the note? Zhizhi, don't rush, tell me slowly."

"Jiang Zhenwei!"

Before the little boy could answer his aunt's question, she shoved the note into his hand, her voice rising with embarrassment and anger, "You're all bullying me because I can't read?! You read it to me! What kind of 'gurgling' and 'circling' scribbles are these? I can't understand them at all!"
