Zhang Xifeng squatted down and looked at the child.

Her heart swelled and felt bitter.

After a long time, she stretched out her deformed and rough hand and gently stroked the child’s small head.

“Qiqi is right. It’s only safe to hold something that you’ve earned yourself.”

“You can stay at Granny’s house in the future.”

“If you work for Granny, Granny will give you food every day. Is Qiqi willing to do that?”

Qiqi was a little confused.

Her Granny wanted her to stay?

If she agreed, she would no longer have to wander the streets.

This was a great temptation for Qiqi.

Her heart was beating fast, and there seemed to be a voice in her ear urging her to agree.

Although she was young, she understood.

Her Granny said this because she wanted to raise her.

Qiqi tried her best to open her mouth, but the words she said were, “Why? ”

Why was she willing to support her?

“Because … “the old lady smiled. Her smile was loving and sincere. Qiqi won Granny’s love with her own strength.

In the pigpen, the little piggies were lying behind the wooden fence and making a few sounds from time to time.

The little child stood in front of the pigpen in a daze, her eyes wide open and her little mouth half open. She did not return to her senses from the old woman’s answer for a long time.

…

In the sea of consciousness.

The little egg-man supported his cheek with one hand as he lay on his side, quietly watching the scene in front of him.

In the energy storage pool next to the little egg-man, the originally empty bottom of the pool now had a wisp of purple energy.

As the omnipresent system, he used the host as a medium to absorb the sincere love of others for the host and convert the sincerity value into energy.

When his storage pool was full of energy and he completed the ten mission stages, it could return to its own place.

Therefore, in the eyes of the little egg man, the host was just a tool to help him complete his task.

“Whoa, you earned your love?” The little egg-man changed his posture and crossed his legs. “Boring.”

It was born with a golden spoon in its mouth and stood high at the top of the pyramid.

Ever since he was young, as long as he wanted something, others would fight to get it.

He didn’t need to fight, snatch, or even struggle.

So he didn’t understand why the little cub had such an expression.

Stupid.

…

Qiqi did not answer.

Zhang Xifeng wasn’t in a hurry. She would give the child some time to think about it. The child had to be willing.

She took a wooden ladle and handed it to the little child. “Today, Qiqi will help Granny feed the pigs. Once I am done, I can exchange it for the food and the clothes I have today.”

Qiqi’s eyes lit up, and she took the wooden ladle. “Don’t worry, Granny. I will definitely do my best!”

This answer made Zhang Xifeng burst into laughter again, and even the sorrow in her heart dissipated a lot.

The little pig was sick and fed up. She knew that the little pig probably wouldn’t be able to eat much.

She said that mainly to find some work for the child.

So that she wouldn’t keep harping on repaying her.

Qiqi held the wooden spoon with a serious expression as if she was going to the battlefield to do something big.

She opened the wooden fence of the pigpen and scooped the warm piggies into the food bowl. The smell of the piggies quickly mixed into the air and mixed with the smell of the pigpen, making it unpleasant.

However, Qiqi did not feel discomfort and continued adding feeds into the food bowl.

In the sea of consciousness, the little egg-man, who despised the little one, suddenly waved his hand. The wisp of purple aura that had just emerged from the storage pool flew out along with his movements and finally flowed into the food bowl through the little child’s hand.

“Kengchi, Kenichi,….” The two piggies lying around the food bowl twitched their noses, then got up on their legs and buried their heads in the food bowl.

One bite, two bites.

The two piggies began to fight for food a moment later, and the scene was lively.

Zhang Xifeng,”….”

Could she have misremembered? The little pig wasn’t sick?

Or had she already recovered after sleeping for half a day?

She had raised pigs for many years but had never seen such a scene. The two pigs seemed to be afraid that they would eat less. As they ate, they even used their four hooves to push their peer, trying to make the pig next to it out of the food bowl and dominate.

“…”

“Granny!” The little child turned her head, her face beaming with joy and her eyes bright. “The little pig is eating so well!”

Zhang Xifeng nodded in a daze. “Ah, yes. They are eating so well.”

In the sea of consciousness, the little egg-man turned over and lay on its side with its eyes closed. The corner of its mouth curled up lazily. “Stupid little brat.”

After feeding the pigs, Zhang Xifeng looked at the sky and didn’t go out anymore. She stayed at home for the next half of the afternoon to observe the situation of the pigs.

If the little piggies did not continue to have diarrhea, there would probably be no big problem, and she would not need to go to town to find a veterinarian tomorrow.

Their village was far away, and the consultation fee for inviting people from all the way here was naturally not small.

Every cent of the farmer’s hard-earned money, if they could save it, no one would be willing to spend it for nothing.

While Zhang Xifeng was guarding the piglet, Qiqi was not idle. She found a bamboo broom in the corner of the yard and swept the yard.

It was only now that she had the time to size up the house.

Granny Zhang’s house wasn’t significant. It was a courtyard surrounded by a fence wall. There was only a mud house in the courtyard. The outer wall was unpainted, and the bare wall was tamped with yellow mud. Perhaps it had been a long time and had been through too much wind and rain, so the wall was already uneven.

On the left of the main house was a kitchen made of clay tiles. Opposite the kitchen was a pigpen built with pillars and a wooden fence, and two small piggies were raised.

In the corner of the courtyard, there was a loquat tree. It had luxuriant leaves, and nearly half of its branches extended out of the fence, giving shade to the path outside the courtyard.

Although the Zhang family’s courtyard wasn’t big, it was clean and tidy. The firewood and furniture were arranged neatly, giving people a sense of tidiness.

After the yard was cleaned, Qiqi sat down on the veranda. She quietly looked up at the back of the old woman who went to check on the little piggies in front of the pigpen. The words the old woman asked her to leave behind kept repeating in her mind.

“Eggie, Granny said she wanted to raise me. Do you think I can stay?” She subconsciously asked the little egg for help.

Eggie had said that they were already bound to each other.

Qiqi did not know what binding was, but she vaguely understood what relationship meant.

She had a relationship with Eggie, which meant that Eggie would be her little companion in the future.

In her mind, the little egg man’s lazy voice came. “It’s useless to ask me. You have to ask yourself.”

Not getting a helpful answer, Qiqi clenched her small hand and lowered her head sadly.

Granny Zhang was very kind. The way she smiled and spoke was just like her grandmother.

In the past, her grandmother would often smile at her and speak to her gently.

At that time, Grandma would always say, “Grandma likes our Da ya the most” and “Da Ya is so well-behaved. Grandma’s heart really goes to you.”

However, when she was beaten by her parents and smashed by her brother, her grandmother, who claimed to like her and dote on her, only watched indifferently from the side.

She had never protected her, not even once.

After that, she no longer believed her grandmother’s words.
