The beloved baby has a space

When the exam papers were being distributed in the examination room, there were occasional small hisses from the candidates, but they quickly quieted down.

The first exam has officially begun.

Ayu was leading Old Lady Wang on a stroll through the market where flowers and birds were sold.

"Grandma, Grandma, let's buy two parrots for the house. Parrots are the best at talking. I once saw a juggler in a city who brought his parrots and told stories from a script. They were so funny."

Old Wang chimed in, "You think we've never raised them before? Your grandma, when she was young, actually did—"

Just as Old Wang was preparing to take advantage of the topic to tell Ayu about the embarrassing incident of his grandmother wanting to keep small animals when she was young.

As soon as she turned her head, she received a look from Old Mrs. Wang that was as if she were looking at a dead person.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Grandpa, keep talking, I'm listening!" A-Yun teased the parrot while pricking up his ear towards Old Wang.

"Ahem—I meant to say that your grandma also loves small animals. She used to keep parrots, rabbits, turtles, and all sorts of fish, big and small. She also kept quite a few cicadas, crickets, and frogs."

Ayu listened with great interest, as if a vivid picture appeared before her eyes: her grandmother and a group of small animals living happily together.

"Why did they stop raising them later? I only saw chickens in the house."

There aren't even any pigs.

Old Wang coughed again, and said carefully, "Later, there was a famine, and then there was war, so those little guys couldn't stay, and we stopped raising them."

Of course, we can't say at this point that it was all Old Mrs. Wang's fault for raising him to death.

At that time, Old Lady Wang was still a princess who never lifted a finger. It wasn't something that a dignified princess could adapt to becoming a peasant woman in a day or two.

The number of small animals that died from being raised by Old Mrs. Wang, and the various kinds of food that were ruined, was countless. Ordinary families simply couldn't afford the losses. Initially, Old Mrs. Wang didn't even know that there were more edible parts than just the belly of a fish, nor did she know that pig offal was also edible.

Besides the heart of the leafy greens, other parts of the leafy greens can also be eaten.

Furthermore, a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs and expensive meat are simmered together, and apart from a small bowl of soup, the ingredients in the soup are also drinkable.

Even small animals, just because you buy them and keep them at home doesn't mean they'll grow up healthy and lively.

In the beginning, Grandma Wang suffered a lot, and their life together was chaotic.

Fortunately, they were all wealthy. Even without a large number of servants, they still had two old servants. Later, they took in the Prince Zhuo and another child.

Grandma Wang had trained the two children to be exceptionally diligent, keeping them busy with all sorts of things, and they finally managed to keep the household stable.

Looking back now, however, those first two years were actually the two years when Old Mrs. Wang laughed the most. Neighbors even subtly approached him and said, "When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one. It's best not to have a wife who likes to cause trouble. We're marrying a wife, not some powerful family, Miss, don't you think?"

Seeing that Old Wang didn't say anything, the enthusiastic neighbor introduced his niece, hoping that Old Wang could see how good his niece was.

In the end, of course, it all fizzled out, and the neighbor was subjected to a barrage of sarcastic remarks from Old Mrs. Wang.

Looking back now, perhaps it was from that time that Old Mrs. Wang began to learn the skills of a gossipy woman from her neighbors.

However, while gossipy women love to spread rumors and their mouths are foul, Old Mrs. Wang takes the essence of their ways and discards the dross.

Before I knew it, it had become what it is today.

Recalling this, Old Wang suddenly froze. He had previously thought that his wife had suddenly become the way she was now, but now he realized that everything had happened gradually. How could someone suddenly become completely different from before?
