Zuo Qingya inexplicably became bound to the system "Little Darling." While others convert trash into various items, she only converts it into rare seeds.
Initially, she planted them o...
Zuo Qingya stroked her chin, thought for a long time, and finally came up with a name. She clapped her hands and said, "How about you call me Zuo Le? Zuo Le is like cola. I'm a genius at naming things."
The little boy didn't answer, but continued eating.
"Doesn't it sound good?"
The little boy shook his head, neither saying anything nice nor anything unpleasant, but continued eating what he was holding, unable to stop.
Zuo Qingya noticed that the little boy chewed and swallowed the bones from the fried chicken.
Zuo Qingya hesitated, unsure how to say what was on the tip of her tongue.
The little boy looked at Zuo Qingya with a puzzled expression.
Zuo Qingya swallowed hard, unsure of what to say, and could only reply, "Then you can continue eating."
The little boy nodded.
Zuo Qingya was conflicted. Would such a small child get sick from eating like this?
After thinking for a moment, Zuo Qingya still said, "Um..."
The little boy looked at Zuo Qingya, waiting for her to speak.
"Zuo Le, may I call you that?"
The little boy nodded.
Seeing the little boy nod, Zuo Qingya breathed a sigh of relief. "Um, Zuo Le, this is how you eat it." As she spoke, Zuo Qingya ate the fried chicken to show the little boy.
"This is not for eating."
"This is delicious too."
"No matter how delicious it is, you can't eat it. Just eat the meat from the outside and throw away the bones."
"oh."
Zuo Le ate like Zuo Qingya, but when it came time to spit out the bones, the little boy turned his face away and secretly swallowed the chicken bones.
Zuo Qingya was speechless.
“That Zuo Le…” Zuo Qingya explained the steps for eating fried chicken again, but Zuo Le still ate it the same way as always.
Zuo Qingya was a little worried, "Is it okay to eat so much?" As she spoke, Zuo Qingya touched Zuo Le's stomach.
"Is my stomach upset?"
Zuo Le looked at Zuo Qingya's actions with a puzzled expression, her eyes saying, "What are you doing?"
"I'm checking if your stomach hurts."
"It's okay, it won't hurt."
"Alright then, but you've already eaten a lot, you can't eat anymore."
Zuo Le pouted, somewhat displeased.
"Wait a few days, and if your stomach looks normal, I'll give you the food again, okay?"
Zuo Le thought for a moment, then lifted her clothes to show Zuo Qingya her stomach.
"???" Just as Zuo Qingya was wondering, she couldn't believe her eyes. What did she see?
Before Zuo Qingya was a diagram of the human internal organs, and this diagram showed the internal organs of Zuo Le. Zuo Qingya was astonished to see that as soon as the chicken bones entered Zuo Le's body, the bones were completely digested.
"Don't worry, the bone will be gone once it's inside your stomach. It'll be over soon, so don't fret."
What else could Zuo Qingya say but, "Okay, do you still want to eat?"
Zuo Le nodded. "I want to eat."
"Please, then." Zuo Qingya took out another serving of fried chicken from her consciousness space.
Zuo Le took a bite, looking thoroughly satisfied. "It's so delicious!"
After finishing his meal, Zuo Le looked at Zuo Qingya with pitiful eyes.
"You've already eaten a lot, you can't eat anymore." After saying that, Zuo Qingya thought of the scene she had just seen, which was just one meal.
He thought to himself, "This isn't an ordinary child who would get an upset stomach, but seeing how much Zuo Le ate, it's impossible not to worry."
It was getting light, time to go back, but seeing Zuo Le alone here, I was a little worried.
He asked cautiously, "Hey, Ah Le, where do you live? Shall I take you home?"
"Home?"
Zuo Le thought for a moment and pointed to the earth god statue, saying, "That's home."
"Huh??? This is a statue of the earth god, not a home."
Zuo Le looked at Zuo Qingya with a puzzled expression, and said with certainty, "That's home."
Zuo Qingya slapped her forehead and said, "You must... have a home. My home is your home. I'll take you home." With that, Zuo Qingya pulled Zuo Le away.
Zuo Le looked at her hand that was being held, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything, just followed along.
Zuo Qingya put an invisibility talisman on Zuo Le and took him home.
Early in the morning, Zuo Qingya heard Ke Jiamei's surprised cry.
"Oh my goodness! Whose child is this?"
Zuo Qingya rubbed her eyes, still half asleep.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" As she got off the bed, she saw the two people, one big and one small, standing opposite each other, staring at each other.
Zuo Qingya asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Grandma?"
Ke Jiamei pointed at Zuo Le, "It's nothing, it's just that we have an extra child in our family."
"???" Zuo Qingya looked at Zuo Le.
"Yes, I brought them in."
"Huh?" Kejia thought she had misheard and asked again.
“Grandma, I said, I brought him in.”
"Weren't you sleeping? How did you get in here?"
Zuo Qingya scratched her head and said, "I brought it in during a dream."
"???"
"Really... really..." Kejia Mei didn't even know what to say.
"Xiaoya, are you sure you brought her in?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Yes."
Standing in front of Zuo Qingya and Zuo Le were Kejiamei, Zuo Dapeng, and Kakashi, the five of them staring at each other.
"Xiaoya, tell me, how did you bring this child in here?"
"Didn't I already say it was brought in from a dream?"
"Nonsense, you've been sleeping in the room the whole time, how did you manage to bring this child in?"
Zuo Qingya shrugged. "So, I said it came from a dream."
"Fine then, you brought someone else's child in here. Have you thought about what will happen if his family can't find him?"
Zuo Qingya patted her chest and said, "Grandma, don't worry." Then she whispered in Ke Jiamei's ear, "Grandma, don't worry, he has no family, but we are his family now."
Upon hearing this news, Kejia Mei looked at Zuo Le with pity in her eyes, and also whispered the matter to Zuo Dapeng and Kakashi.
Kakashi said with pity, "Mom, let's keep him here."
"Yes, Mom, let him stay. He looks so pitiful."
And so, Zuo Le was kept on and became Zuo Qingya's younger brother.
Zuo Le's favorite thing is to follow Zuo Qingya around and ask for food.
Zuo Qingya was truly impressed; Zuo Le's stomach seemed to be constantly full.
If I give him too little, I feel it's not enough. If I give him too much, I worry.
Zuo Qingya sat on the swing, while Zuo Le helped push the swing.
Sitting on the swing, Zuo Qingya sighed and said, "Sigh... I don't know where to find the Earth God. There's not a single clue. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Am I going to die here? No way, no way, this is too scary."
Hearing Zuo Qingya's rambling, Zuo Le pursed his lips, wanting to speak, but then kept his mouth shut.
"It's so nice to have a younger brother; he can be bossed around."
Speaking of her younger brother, Zuo Qingya thought of her unborn younger sister.
