With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

"elder sister."

He Zhaodi had just returned home when He Xiaocao, who was sweeping the yard with a broom, quickly dropped the broom and ran over to help her.

"Xiao Cao, please get out of the way. Sister doesn't need your help. Be careful not to bump into you."

Although He Xiaocao is five years old, she is thin and small and looks like she is only two or three years old.

She looked at her sister's bent back and wished she could grow up quickly to help her sister.

He Zhaodi half-knelt down and put the bamboo basket away. She went out to look around, then came back in and closed the door from the inside. She looked at her well-behaved sister and said, "Xiaocao, come to the room with me."

Seeing her sister's cautious look, He Xiaocao followed with curiosity.

The two sisters entered the place where they usually lived, which was a storage room that was dark, damp and filled with miscellaneous items.

There was a pile of straw in front of the wall, with a straw mat spread on it, a black, stiff quilt neatly folded, and two sets of patched clothes.

As soon as she entered the room, He Zhaodi took out a washed-white handkerchief from her bosom and opened it.

"Little grass, eat quickly."

He Xiaocao looked at the pastries in front of her that looked like flowers and smelled a fragrance.

Gum!

She opened her round eyes and swallowed hard.

Even though she wanted to eat it, the little girl didn't eat it. Instead, she looked at her sister and asked, "Sister, where did you get the cakes?"

"Eat quickly, and I'll talk to you after you finish." She was afraid that her grandparents would come back suddenly.

"Sister, we'll each take half."

"Eat the grass yourself, little one. Your sister has already eaten a piece. Eat it quickly, or you won't be able to eat it when grandpa and grandma come back."

He Zhaodi urged.

He Xiaocao took the cake and took a small bite. Her eyes lit up instantly. "Sister, this cake is delicious. I think it's even better than the ones my grandparents usually buy for my older brother."

This pastry was given by those two noble ladies. Naturally, it cannot compare to the ordinary pastries that Dabao and Erbao eat.

When He Xiaocao was eating pastries, He Zhaodi told her the origin of the pastries.

After hearing what her sister said, He Xiaocao said with sparkling eyes: "Sister, I heard from the villagers that they are very beautiful. They must be fairies that came down from the sky." Fairies are those who are both beautiful and kind.

Although she had finished eating the pastries, she could still feel the fragrance of the pastries lingering in her mouth.

He Zhaodi thought about the situation she had just encountered with the two people, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, sister also thinks they are fairies from heaven."

After that, she wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of the little girl's mouth and said, "Xiao Cao, cut some grass to feed the chickens. I'm going to cook."

"Well, sister, go quickly!"

Otherwise, grandpa and grandma will beat my sister again when they come back.

"You have to be careful, and be careful with your hands." Although He Xiaocao has been cutting vegetables since she was two years old, He Zhaodi still told her with concern.

……

Le Zhi and Nan Zhiyi stayed on the mountain for most of the day and headed back around 3 p.m.

When she was almost at the place where she had parted with He Zhaodi in the morning, Nan Zhiyi wanted to see if He Zhaodi was still there, so she looked to the side.

Her eyes lit up, and she said to Le Zhi behind her, "Sister, He Zhaodi is there."

Le Zhi looked in the direction of her finger and saw that it was He Zhaodi whom they had met in the morning. On her back was the same large bamboo basket that she had carried that morning, and the basket of pig grass bent her already thin body.

Next to her was a little girl who looked about three years old. She was as thin as she was, and to exaggerate, she looked like a skeleton. Her clothes were also covered with patches, and she was carrying a small bamboo basket full of pig grass, and she was also hunched over.

Le Zhi felt sad to see such a young child having to carry a bamboo basket while working.

She gave the guard a look, and the guard immediately walked down, stood in front of He Zhaodi and said, "Girl, give me your bamboo basket!"

Hearing the voice, He Zhaodi raised her head with great effort, then smiled and said, "Hey, it's you." It was the person who helped her carry the bamboo basket in the morning. Then she shook her head and said, "No need, I've already troubled you this morning..."

Before she could finish her words, the guard picked up the bamboo basket on her back, put it on his own back, and then picked up the bamboo basket on the stunned He Xiaocao's back in his hands.

A large backpack and a small backpack filled with pig grass seemed to have no weight on him and still stood upright.

"Sister." He Xiaocao was startled and quickly grabbed He Zhaodi's hand and hid behind her.

"Xiaocao is fine. This young master is a good man. He even helped my sister carry the backpack up this morning!"

After hearing what her sister said, He Xiaocao was no longer afraid. She smiled sweetly at the guard and said obediently, "Thank you, big brother."

There was a sincere smile and gratitude on the little girl's skinny face. The guard sighed in his heart, wondering how their families could be so cruel to let such young children work.

He Zhaodi thought that since the guards had arrived, the two young ladies must be here too. She looked up and saw a few people walking down from a few steps away.

I am amazed every time I see her.

He Xiaocao also saw Le Zhi and Nan Zhiyi, her eyes wide open and her mouth half open. When the two stood in front of them, she said blankly: "Sister, are you fairies?"

The fairy is very beautiful, with fair skin, black hair and nice clothes.

Phew!

Lezhi and Nan Zhiyi were amused by her words.

"My sisters are not fairies, they are human beings just like you."

"But you are so beautiful, sister."

"Xiaocao is also very beautiful!" Le Zhi touched He Xiaocao's withered hair.

The girl was indeed good-looking, with a small face, big eyes and a high nose bridge, but she didn't look very good because she was thin and dark.

Hearing the fairy sister praising her beauty, He Xiaocao smiled shyly.

They had just secretly eaten the cakes that their sister had hidden in the mountains, and now their stomachs were full.

He Xiaocao knew that they were the ones who gave pastries to her sister, so she gave them a bag of pastries and was very grateful to them.

He Zhaodi and He Xiaocao followed Le Zhi and his group down the mountain. When they saw so many people at the foot of the mountain, the maids and guards quickly surrounded Le Zhi and Nan Zhiyi.

The villagers who came to see Lezhi and Nan Zhiyi were stunned.

They had heard that the two young ladies who came to visit were very beautiful, but no one had ever said they were so beautiful!

Her skin was dazzlingly white, like a precious jade. Her hair was shiny black, like the finest ink. Her facial features were so delicate that they didn't know how to describe how perfect she was.

Le Zhi and Nan Zhiyi initially thought that they were assassins sent here, but after a closer look, they found that there was no malicious intent in them and the few disgusting looks among them were negligible. They should be the villagers here.

They ignored him and walked towards Chen's restaurant.
