A whole community transmigrates! What can everyone do? They start a frantic shopping spree. There are just too many people!
Xu Tiantu never imagined it would be like this. The transmigration ...
The Xu family was shocked when they heard this. How could this be possible? ?
"Everyone under 12 has become a baby?"
"If there's only one person, how will they take care of the family? Not to mention the children, what about the elderly? Are the children's IQ and behavioral knowledge still within their age range?"
"That's right. Anyone under the age of 12 has been transformed into a baby. A true baby, they don't remember anything. When the system mentioned that those under 12 and over 70 wouldn't receive compensation for time travel, I thought it was just a common restriction." Tang Li sighed. "That's not the case at all. Things might be more complicated than we imagined."
Mr. Xu handed the other person a cigarette, and the two of them stood downwind and started chatting.
If it were any other time, Mother Xu would have just punched him, but she didn't stop him at this moment. This way both sides could get to know each other faster, and secondly, everyone's emotions were probably quite complicated right now.
Because this matter is actually not that simple. Putting aside the children and the elderly who are under supervision, what should we do with those who are left alone? Can we just watch them starve to death?
But... the compensation is a one-time payment. Even though everyone has good supplies now, these things are always used up. I'm only 60 now, and I still have to hold on for decades... maybe even my whole life will be gone.
60 years, until 2023, more than 60 years...
There are really only so many things we can do.
Mr. Xu said, "It seems we need to quickly count how many people are wearing it alone, especially those whose age is not within the compensation range."
"Yeah." Tang Li said this with frustration. "Actually, even if we exclude these single cases, the situation isn't very optimistic. No one anticipated age changes, so unless you have a baby at home, there will be huge problems with stockpiling supplies. At least the milk problem can't be solved, and there are still many children who need medication."
"Even if we had stockpiled, it wouldn't work. We'd have to start all over again, and babies need to start feeding in stages." Mr. Xu sighed, "Luckily, my children are all single. I used to be eager for them to get married and have kids, but now I'm just thankful. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to feed them all. Other things are easy to find, but what about milk powder and diapers?"
"That's right. Young people nowadays are so used to diapers that they can't stand them anymore." Tang Li continued, "My family is also very lucky. The eldest child has never wanted to get married and is simply a workaholic, which is why it has been delayed until now. The second child already had a son and a daughter early on, but he spent the New Year at his in-laws' house this year, so he didn't wear them together. Fortunately, my grandson is only 7 years old. If he came here, he would have nothing to play with, which would be unacceptable."
Xu's father was also amused: "In the past, we were pushing for marriage, but now it's the other way around."
As they were talking, a few people came over, banging gongs. "Dear homeowners, our first homeowners' meeting since the crossing will be held in the open space out front in half an hour. Each household is requested to send a representative to attend. Considering the special circumstances, we encourage the whole family to attend. Please bring your own benches!"

"Is this someone from the property management? They're wearing this too?"
"That's right. The guy behind me is from the neighborhood committee and also lives in our complex. He looks younger now. I couldn't recognize him at first."
Mr. Xu said, "But it's time to organize a meeting. Everyone is definitely on the same page right now, so we should naturally discuss what to do next. The property management and neighborhood committee are more experienced and might be able to come up with a better solution."
Tang Li said, "I can't do that anymore. I can only follow and listen. From being a butcher to a breeder, I can only take care of the animals. It seems that being a butcher isn't easy these days..."
Mr. Xu said cheerfully, "You take care of animals? I'm different. I can make animals taste good."
“Hahahahaha!!”
…
Half an hour later, the open space under the big tree at the entrance of the village, of course, has now become a square under the big tree.
The residents of the community who traveled through time each brought a stool over. Although each family sent a representative, it was obvious that everyone listened to the "suggestion" and every family came in full force.
But in addition to these, there were several middle-aged people following the residents' committee and property management staff, and they also pushed several "baby strollers" over here.
It’s called a baby carriage, but it’s actually just a bamboo basket, but it’s padded with thick cushions.
The child was sleeping soundly. There was a gauze curtain on the basket. Before the time travel, this thing was suitable for storing some things for a short time in the summer. In order to prevent food and drink, there would be gauze as a curtain. I didn't expect it to be used for this purpose at this time.
Apart from that, most people used benches, big or small, to save some energy.
Although many people have a lot of supplies stored in their system backpacks, including stools, and they can take them out here, the problem is that they can't put the things back after taking them out, so everyone immediately moves them out of the house.
Xu Tiantu was more cunning and got a small chair with a backrest, so he could lean on it while sitting on it, saving a lot of effort.
Xu Yuanhu sat on a bench, small but with his back straight. Looking around, he saw that there were quite a few children like them, and there were obviously even more babies... It seemed that all children under 12, regardless of age, were developing into babies.
Many of them are older children holding younger children.
And they look so small... "Mom, how big are those babies? They look so tiny."
Mother Xu sighed when she talked about this: "It looks just like a newborn. This is troublesome. The child has become smaller, and the adults have also become smaller. I don't know how to raise it. There is no milk."
The problem right now is indeed quite big. Those in their twenties and thirties have become six, seven, or even ten years old, while those children have become newborn babies. How... are they going to raise them?!
