Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 254: Thank-you Gift ( 1 )

Seeing that the children were getting along well, Yao Zhi led them to the room and said, "Ye Ying, Bai Xue, please help me watch over Xi Qi."

"Woof! Woof!"

This was the first time for Yao Zhi to take care of a child, and she didn’t realize the danger of leaving a child alone. Fortunately, her pets were smart and able to carry the responsibility as a nanny.

With Ling Shi’er helping her take care of the rough work, she only needed to boil water for them to wash up and cook dinner.

After a tiring day, she cooked a pot of egg porridge and steamed a fish. Then she bought two portions of braised meat from the system’s shop for 8 points, and took out 3 pieces of big buns from her system’s storage.

Not long after she stored the braised meat packaging into her system’s recycling bin, Ling Shi’er entered the kitchen and helped her carry the food to the room.

For her pets, Yao Zhi gave them minced meat she prepared in the morning.

As the moon rose, they had their dinner together.

While they ate, Ling Shi’er kept glancing at his master. He never thought that someone as powerful and wealthy as she would be willing to take care of a lowly slave and live in this small village.

Noticing his glances, Yao Zhi said, "If you have something on your mind, just say it."

Ling Shi’er hesitated for a long time before he finally asked, "Master, why did you hide your capability and live in this small village?"

"Shi’er, I’m just an ordinary married woman. Isn’t it normal for me to live in my husband’s house?" Yao Zhi replied with a smile.

"Master, if you are an ordinary person, then there will be no extraordinary person in this world."

When she heard his firm tone, Yao Zhi finally looked at him and said, "Sometimes, curiosity can kill the cat. Some things are better left unsaid."

Ling Shi’er went silent after hearing her words.

She didn’t deny his words and told him not to probe into her secret. Although there were a lot of questions he wanted to ask, he knew that his master would let him know when the time was right.

For now, all he could do was prove his loyalty to his master and earn her trust. With this thought in his mind, he nodded and said, "Master, I understand."

Yao Zhi thought that he would insist on asking about her secret. Unexpectedly, he let it go so easily.

She suddenly felt that this man was not bad. He was obedient and good with work. Spending so much money to buy him was really a wise decision.

In a good mood, she clipped 2 pieces of braised meat and put them in his bowl. "Eat more meat. Don’t just eat the bun."

"Thank you, Master."

After dinner, Ling Shi’er cleaned the table and went to wash the dishes. As for Yao Zhi, she prepared a basin of water and gave Xi Qi a bath. She scrubbed his body and washed his hair until he no longer smelled like a pickle.

She dried him with a towel and dressed him in warm winter clothes. Then she put him on the bed and went to wash her face and wipe her body.

When she was done, Ling Shi’er cleaned up the water and retreated to the woodshed.

Since there was a child living with her now, she needed to prepare milk in case Xi Qi was hungry in the middle of the night. She lit the brazier and boiled a pot of cow’s milk. The milk was taken from the husbandry’s warehouse.

Since the cattle were raised with food and water filled with spiritual energy, their milk was odorless and delicious.

Yao Zhi added two spoonfuls of honey and stirred it until it dissolved. Afterward, she added a drop of spiritual spring water into the milk and scooped a cup of milk for herself. She stored the rest in her system’s storage and put the brazier near the window.

After she drank the milk and lit the oil lamp, she hugged Xi Qi and went to sleep.

Perhaps feeling safe, Xi Qi soon drifted into a deep sleep. At midnight, he woke up due to hunger and the need to pee.

He pulled at Yao Zhi’s sleeve and called out, "Ah, ah."

Feeling the tug, she opened her eyes and saw the boy holding his little brother while staring at her with distress.

"You want to pee?" she asked.

Xi Qi nodded while fidgeting in the bed.

There was no chamber pot in the room, so she had to wrap him up and carry him to the toilet. After fulfilling his nature call, Xi Qi finally relaxed.

Just after she put him on the bed, Yao Zhi heard a loud sound coming from his stomach. Holding back her yawn, she asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to drink milk?"

Xi Qi knew what milk was and nodded.

Yao Zhi went to the table and took out the pot of milk. It was still hot, so she scooped a bowl and stirred it to cool it down. She tested the temperature before she brought it to him.

Xi Qi was too young to be able to drink the milk by himself, so she had to feed him spoonful by spoonful. When she finished feeding the boy, her drowsiness was gone.

Yao Zhi stored the rest of the milk in her system’s storage and covered Xi Qi with the blanket. She lay beside him and patted his back until he fell asleep. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

While she was staring at the ceiling, a blue screen suddenly popped up in front of her. Seeing this, Yao Zhi rubbed her eyes and read the notification.

"A thank-you gift has been received."

"Thank-you gift?" she muttered softly. She hadn’t done anything that made her deserve a thank-you gift. Feeling curious, she clicked on the box under the notification.
