Chapter 119 Memories
After Cang Xuanyu left, Mu Yunyun and several beastmen sunbathed in the courtyard.
With everything settled, the next step is to get pregnant with the fox cubs, fix the irrigation system, and start growing crops.
She's been eating barbecue and stewed meat every day, and she's almost sick of it.
All six beastmen can now generate affection points, with Wolf Fang and Hao Bai producing a fixed 20,000 affection points per day.
The other people's affection levels also surged whenever there was physical contact.
She was already relatively satisfied with this, as she wasn't greedy.
She had always been reluctant to buy some expensive items before, but now she finally had the opportunity to do so.
Mu Yunyun gritted her teeth and spent 10 love points to buy two 4.5-ton capacity water tanks.
One was placed on the roof of the small house and connected to a water pipe, so that everyone could take a shower at home without having to go down the mountain.
The other one is placed in the yard for cooking and washing vegetables.
In this way, the animal husbands no longer have to run back and forth every day to fetch water from the foot of the mountain for cooking and bathing.
The riverbed is muddy and sandy, and every time I wash myself, my feet get covered in mud, which is quite troublesome.
In the Beast World continent, most males and females go barefoot.
Since becoming Mu Yunyun's beast husband, under her influence, they have all become more hygienic and clean, and have even started wearing straw sandals on their feet.
The straw sandals were made by the thoughtful Wolf Fang; the Big Bad Wolf's craftsmanship is indeed excellent, completely unlike his husky-like destructive habits.
Although they are called straw sandals, they are actually made by wrapping each person's foot with a very resilient straw mat inside and out, according to the size of each person's foot.
The straw sandals looked crooked and loose, not sturdy at all, and could not withstand the trampling of the animal laborers.
Fortunately, Mu Yunyun had learned to weave straw sandals from her grandmother when she was a child, but that required dried rice stalks.
There's no rice growing now, so where would we find rice stalks?
Consciousness awakens the duck.
"Hey duck, does my system shop have shoes?"
[Host, there are no shoes for the beastmen, only your own sandals.]
Well, it really is a system tailor-made for her.
"Sandals? What kind? What size?"
Vintage crystal slippers, size 37, red, worth 1 units of love per pair, your own personal slippers.
"You stinky duck, are you robbing me?! Dare to sell it for a higher price?"
【Host, there are only two pairs. You can also have the beastmen squeeze in.】
The beastmen, with broad shoulders and narrow waists, are muscular men with twelve-pack abs, squeezing into size 37 crystal sandals with size 41 feet.
Just thinking about this scene is a bit too much for my eyes.
Mu Yunyun thought for a moment, then began to shake her head.
"Let's try on a pair of red ones first, but we don't know if they'll be able to wear them."
[Alright, a pair of old-fashioned red crystal slippers, redeemed successfully. Current Love Points balance: 85.]
Upon receiving the old-fashioned slippers, Mu Yunyun's expression froze instantly.
These are crystal sandals that were once very popular throughout China in the 70s.
In a daze, she finally remembered that when she was little, her grandmother really wanted a pair of crystal sandals, but she couldn't bear to buy them in order to save money.
As the memory gradually became clearer, I saw my grandmother's hunched body, her deeply lined face, and her snow-white hair, as she kindly called my name.
“My dear granddaughter Yunyun, look what Grandma bought for you.”
They were brand new crystal sandals with pretty red bows on them.
It was my grandmother who got up early and worked late, walking ten kilometers of mountain road early in the morning to sell a whole basket of vegetables in town to earn the money.
My maternal grandmother worked hard all her life. My maternal grandfather died early, and at 70 years old, she had to do farm work and take care of her young daughter all by herself.
Because she was a girl, her parents left her behind to work in other places, and they disliked her even more because they saw her as a financial burden.
Aside from tuition fees, they basically don't send living expenses back home each year.
Grandma always saved money by raising poultry, selling eggs and vegetables, and giving her the best.
The two depended on each other for survival; their lives were simple and poor, but they were happy.
She was also very sensible; after school, she would always help with farm work as much as she could.
When she was little, her grandmother was her only light.
In my memory, my grandmother always wore a faded blue cloth dress and a pair of badly deformed, tattered cloth shoes.
More than once, when she was young, she would see her grandmother hunched over, staring blankly at the gleaming crystal slippers on the counter.
"Grandma, you should buy yourself a pair too. You'll look great in them."
"No need, these shoes are just pretty, not practical. I'll buy some nice sandals for Yunyun instead."
A pair of crystal sandals costs only 0.5 yuan, but her pair of bow-tie sandals costs 3 yuan.
At that time, Mu Yunyun vowed to buy a pair of crystal slippers for her beloved grandmother.
Finally, when she entered high school, Mu Yunyun saved up her money and bought crystal slippers.
My grandmother, however, fell ill from overwork, resulting in paralysis of her lower body and deformed feet, making it impossible for her to wear the clothes anymore.
Later, when she was admitted to university, her grandmother was overjoyed. On the first day she went to school, her grandmother passed away.
Her heartless parents, just because they were worried about the cost of the trip back home, refused to tell her.
And just like that, I missed the chance to say goodbye to my grandmother on her final journey.
This became a pain that would forever remain in her heart.
That stinky system, it understands emotional manipulation, yet it came here to die.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunyun could no longer control herself, and tears fell like broken beads onto her crystal slippers.
This sudden sadness terrified the four beastmen and little Sen Sen beside him.
"Yunyun, what's wrong?"
"Why are you crying?"
The jade fox quickly approached, flicked its tail, and wrapped the little female against its chest.
"Yunyun, what's wrong? Tell us."
Tingyu also came over, took her hand, and placed it on his chest.
Wolf Fang and Jin Yan also looked worried and didn't know what to do.
Little Sensen rubbed her legs back and forth with her big tail, completely puzzled by her mother's sudden crying.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just saw these slippers and it reminded me of my deceased grandmother."
I miss her so much!
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yunyun's tears flowed down her cheeks again, uncontrollably.
For a moment, none of them knew what to do, and the Jade Fox could only deepen the embrace and kiss her forehead.
"Yunyun, don't be sad, we will always be with you."
"Yes, yes, Yunyun, it's our turn to love you. We are your family forever."
Sensing the little female's sobs in the yard, the big, clumsy bird in the cave could no longer incubate its eggs.
She quickly tore off the animal skin pad, covered the two warm egg-shaped chicks, and rushed out.
"What's wrong? Who made Yunyun sad?"
Mu Yunyun wiped away her tears, smiled gently, and indicated that she was alright.
She's not a pretentious person. She's doing very well and is very happy now. Even her grandmother would be happy for her if she saw this.
After learning the whole story, Haobai stepped forward and gave the little female a deep hug.
"Yunyun, it's our turn to love you. You will be happy."
"it is good!"
After crying, Mu Yunyun felt much better. Before Haobai left, she reached out her hand and pulled him to sit down.
"Come on, Hao, try on these slippers. See how many toes you can fit in."
Everyone stared in disbelief at the sparkling crystal slippers.
The big, clumsy bird, Haobai, is also quite silly. The little female suggested we give it a try, so we did.
The handsome man stretched out his big foot, and sure enough, the pretty slippers could only fit four toes.
"Hahahaha!"
"Yunyun, I'll try it too."
Tingyu, always eager to join in the fun, quickly spoke up, stretching out his big foot to try the other one.
Big feet wearing small shoes—neither rustic nor fashionable.
It's simply unbearable to look at!
"Yunyun, I'm sorry, our feet are too big, we can't wear them."
Tingyu couldn't help but speak up, his face full of apology.
This good-natured beast husband only blames his big feet, never considering that his shoes are too small.
The other beastmen remained silent, watching quietly.
Seeing that the little female was alright, Hao Bai turned back to continue incubating the eggs.
"Fools, the shoes are too small, it's not your fault."
Mu Yunyun couldn't resist any longer and put the shoes away; it seemed she would have to wear them herself.
She needs to make further plans regarding the shoes for the beastmen.
The most urgent task now is to dig a new dry toilet under the small house.
The river water at the foot of the mountain also needs to be transported to storage tanks for later use.
