God's Gift

"What?" Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming puzzledly and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing." Lu Keming raised his head, rubbed Yu Youyou's ears and smiled.

“Oh.” Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming’s smile and also grinned. She leaned against Lu Keming and muttered, “Look at my clothes. Grandma made them for me.”

"It's really beautiful." Lu Keming's eyes were filled with smiles.

“Hey.” Yu Youyou laughed, lowered her head and picked at her clothes, and said, “Let grandma make one for you in the future.”

Hearing this, Lu Keming was silent for a few seconds, and then he said thoughtfully: "That's... not necessary."

"Don't you like it?" When Yu Youyou heard Lu Keming say no, she looked up at Lu Keming in surprise.

"I like it." Lu Keming looked at the little bee dress on Yu Youyou, "But this dress looks better on you."

"Okay." Yu Youyou nodded twice.

Lu Keming sat with Yu Youyou for a while, then went out with Anthony to continue investigating the news about the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha.

When Yu Youyou heard that Lu Keming was going out, she immediately sat up straight and felt a little excited when she thought of the golden cicada hiding under the bed.

As soon as he left, Yu Youyou crawled into the quilt, took out all the golden cicadas inside, and ran to the yard.

Godot was tied in the yard, with a bowl of food in front of him, and was eating.

Yu Youyou ran to Godot with a worm stuffed in her mouth. Her eyes fell on Godot's food bowl and she could no longer move.

Godot raised his eyes and stared at the white puppy in his bowl, without moving.

"What are you eating?" Yu Youyou spat the golden cicada in her mouth onto the ground, stared at the meat in Godot's bowl, and swallowed.

Godot stretched out his paw, pressed the edge of the basin, and slowly moved the basin behind him.

But as it moved, Yu Youyou's body also moved. Her eyes were still staring at the food bowl, but her feet automatically followed the food bowl.

Godot paused for a second with his paw on the bowl, then moved the bowl behind him under his body, then lay down and hid the bowl under him.

The bowl disappeared from her sight, and Yu Youyou came back to her senses. She shook her tail, lay down in front of Godot, and pushed a golden dragonfly in front of Godot with her claws.

"Here's one."

After saying that, she pulled another golden cicada in front of her, "One for me."

"I'll give you another one." Yu Youyou pushed another one over, then picked one up and held it in front of herself, laughing, "I'll have one too."

After sorting out the golden crickets one by one, she shook her butt and ran back to the room with the golden crickets in her mouth. She was about to continue hiding under the quilt, but hesitated for a few seconds, then walked around the room carefully for a few times, and finally hid the golden crickets under the cabinet.

After finishing all this, Yu Youyou ran to the yard and happened to hear a series of jingling sounds. After a while, several students walked past Grandma Li's house together.

Grandma Li moved a stool and sat at the door. Students passing by greeted her when they saw her, and Grandma Li responded with a cheerful smile.

Ye Li helped Grandma Li collect the corn that was drying in the yard. Looking at Grandma Li's figure at the door, he sighed.

Grandma Li is the only one at home. She doesn't seem to have any children. She only has a dog. She must be very lonely, so she would guard the door when the children get home from school.

The footsteps running past the white puppy interrupted Ye Li's thoughts. Ye Li looked at Yu Youyou's back, smiled, and followed her to the door.

"Oh, Youyou is here." Granny Li looked at Yu Youyou who was sitting next to her, narrowed her eyes and smiled, staring at her clothes for a long while, "It's still a little big."

"The puppy changes every day. It will grow even bigger in a while." Ye Li stood by the door and added, "It's better if it's bigger. It can be worn for a longer time."

"That's right." After hearing Ye Li's words, Granny Li thought about it carefully and realized that it was the same truth.

Ye Li smiled and looked at the students passing by the door sparsely. Those students were old and young. The oldest looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old.

When students see Yu Youyou wearing the little bee costume, they will stay in front of the door for a while, and some will even reach out to touch Yu Youyou's head.

Ye Li watched for a while and noticed something strange, "Why are there so many girls among these students?"

When Granny Li heard this, the expression on her face gradually faded. Her face, which had been repeatedly carved and polished by the years, was covered with wrinkles. She usually looked optimistic and cheerful, but now there was a bit more melancholy.

"Alas..." Granny Li sighed, but didn't say why. She smiled and answered casually, "People in Lijia Village like girls. Even if they give birth to boys, they must give birth to several girls."

When Ye Li heard Granny Li's explanation, there was a hint of doubt in his expression.

Like girls.

What she saw today at the clan leader's house was a village where women were not allowed to sit at the table for meals, yet they liked girls...wasn't this a contradiction?

Ye Li frowned and took note of this matter silently.

Granny Li seemed to have lost interest as well. She slowly picked up the small stool and went back into the house.

Yu Youyou was holding the stool from underneath, making it much easier for Grandma Li to lift it.

Granny Li smiled, but then she saw two people slowly walking towards the door, and her face suddenly darkened.

Yu Youyou saw her expression and looked back.

The person who came was Chen Qingqiu, whom the others had seen in the morning. He had a bad leg and walked much slower than those energetic students. But even with his lame leg, his back was still straight and his steps were orderly.

Behind Chen Qingqiu was Ah Chou, who was even slower than him. She lowered her head and followed him slowly, two meters away from Chen Qingqiu.

If Chen Qingqiu walked slowly, her pace would also slow down.

Like a shadow, she followed him cautiously and stubbornly.

Yu Youyou turned her gaze to the back of Chen Qingqiu, looking at the naked woman with long hair reaching the ground and covering her face, and thought silently, there is more than one shadow.

Moreover, the woman seemed to be completely oblivious to anyone else and kept staring at Chen Qingqiu.

Yu Youyou was still looking at the woman, but the woman in front of her suddenly turned her head 90 degrees and looked towards Yu Youyou. A pair of scarlet eyes were visible under her jet-black hair, and she just happened to look into Yu Youyou's eyes.

Yu Youyou tilted her head and took a few steps forward, wanting to see it more clearly, but was pulled back by Granny Li.

"You are such a shameless bastard." Granny Li spat at Chen Qingqiu, then looked at Li Achou with a look of dismay, "You are blind, girl."

Chen Qingqiu naturally heard what Granny Li said. He paused slightly, bent his straight back, and then walked forward in silence with his head down.

When Ah Chou saw him leaving, he quickened his pace and hurriedly caught up with him.

"Li Achou, come back here!" Grandma Li yelled at her, but Achou didn't even look at her and kept chasing after her.

Granny Li was so angry that her eyes turned black. She shouted, "Your father asked you to take the seeds back today. Go now. If you go back, your father will beat you!"

After hearing this, Achou stopped, but Chen Qingqiu in front of her had already walked far away. She lowered her eyes dejectedly.

Grandma Li walked forward a few steps, grabbed Li Achou's hand, and dragged her back to the yard.

"How could you be so useless!" Granny Li cursed angrily, "What's so good about that filthy man? It's fine that you liked him before, but now his past affairs have been exposed. Everyone in this village knows about it, and yet you are still so stubborn!"
