Chapter 5: Everyone Drinking Milk Powder

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, Xiaomi still could not think of a solution.

After all, she couldn’t walk yet. Anything that appeared out of thin air beside her would cause trouble. And it could cause dangerous trouble.

Finally, Xiaomi looked at the spiritual spring. It seemed that she could only make something out of it.

After such a long time, Xiaomi was a little tired. Even if she was conscious, she was still young and would get tired.

She simply came out of the space and went to sleep.

In the afternoon, Jiang Hu asked Erni to stay at home to look after her mother and younger siblings while he continued to sow seeds with Dawa.

At night, there was still wild vegetable porridge. While Er Niang was sleeping, Xiaomi secretly fed her milk powder, but it was not as much as at noon time. It was only a small bowl and she appeared to be half full.

This way, by supplementing with milk powder, she would not be too full to eat rice, and Xiaomi would not be exposed.

She and Siwa had also drunk the children’s milk powder. They did not drink much and seemed to be able to suckle some milk.

Xiaomi felt pretty good. She did not have to worry about being hungry or found to be abnormal, but Er Niang became worried.

“Hu, what should we do? Sanni and Siwa only ate a little and stopped eating.”

Back then, for Dawa and Erni, the food was not even enough for one. Now that the two children were eating together, they actually did not eat much. Er Niang frowned.

Jiang Hu was also a little anxious. “Could they be sick?”

He carefully picked up Xiaomi. “Sanni, why don’t you drink milk? You’ll be hungry.”

Xiaomi waved at her father. Don’t be afraid. I’m full. I’m not hungry!

Sanni smiled adorably, her big almond-shaped eyes filled with joy. She even burped.

Jiang Hu was immediately relieved. “Er Niang, you’re light-handed, you touch Sanni’s stomach. She just burped. Is she full?”

As he spoke, he handed Xiaomi to Er Niang and picked up Siwa who leaned into his arms. He patted his back gently. As expected, he burped a little, and there was a strong milky fragrance.

Er Niang also touched Xiaomi’s stomach with her hand and was extremely surprised. “Really? Her stomach is full. Why are they so full after eating so little?”

After saying that, she looked down at her shriveled chest in disbelief.

Xiaomi was tickled by her touch and let out a series of laughs, causing Er Niang to laugh until her eyes teared. “Sanni, you’re so obedient. Hurry up and sleep after eating. Sleep more so that you can grow up quickly.”

As she spoke, she put down Xiaomi and ate. She knew that her man was giving her good food. They probably ate far worse than what she had.

However, Er Niang also knew that if she did not eat well now, the two children would not be able to survive without milk. Although her heart ached for her man and the older children, she had to endure it now.

Fortunately, as long as they survived this period and the crops in the fields grew, they would not have to continue to starve or become refugees.

In the afternoon, Dawa found two fat worms and roasted them for his mother to eat. No matter how greedy he and Erni were, they did not eat them.

Xiaomi looked at the family and began to think about how to feed them milk powder. Yes, it was milk powder. There were a lot of things in the space, but the only thing that could be fed while they were sleeping was really milk powder.

Fortunately, there was a lot of milk powder. She just had to find a way to feed them while everyone was sleeping.

The house was very dilapidated. The only large bed was a bed plank placed on the ground and then covered with thick thatch.

The family of six slept here. Dawa, Erni, slept at the other end. Jiang Hu slept beside the bed with Xiaomi in his arms. Er Niang and Siwa slept inside.

When Jiang Hu lay down, Xiaomi heard the swaying sound. It took her a moment to react. Jiang Hu must not have eaten much at night. He might not even have eaten wild vegetables. It would have been fine if he had drunk a stomach full of water.

Xiaomi was anxious. How could that be? He only drank water and did not eat rice. He still had to plant the crops. Wasn’t he going to die of exhaustion and hunger?!

No, no, I can’t wait!

Jiang Hu was the pillar of this family. If he was gone, this family would probably starve to death!

Xiaomi hurriedly entered the space, found a large bowl, and mixed a large bowl of adult milk powder with spiritual spring water.

Oh right, there was also milk powder for children. Dawa and Erni were also seriously malnourished. She did not dare to take out anything else, but she could secretly feed them some milk powder while they were sleeping.

Fortunately, this milk powder was very nutritious. This would complement how much he ate during the day, and it should be fine to get through this period of time. Besides, there was also spiritual spring water. The spiritual spring could also nourish people!

Xiaomi felt that since she was better-looking than her younger brother, the spiritual spring must have contributed a lot. When she grew up, she would get her family more spiritual spring water to drink. They would definitely be in good health!

After tossing and turning in the space for a while, Xiaomi came out. It was already dark outside, and the room was extremely quiet. Jiang Hu even snored.

Xiaomi first moved her arms and legs, feeling a little hungry. It seemed that a long time had passed, but she still fed her younger brother a few mouthfuls of milk powder. When her younger brother’s swallowing slowed, she quickly stopped.

After that, it was her father’s turn. Jiang Hu was snoring. Although it was a little noisy, his mouth happened to be half open. Xiaomi stretched out her arm and placed her finger on the corner of her father’s mouth, letting the milk powder flow down his mouth and into his throat.

Even in sleep, people would swallow naturally, as long as they did not choke.

Her father almost finished a large bowl of milk powder!

Xiaomi was speechless. She hoped her father wouldn’t wet the bed.

As she was thinking, she felt the urge to pee.

A child’s urine could not be held in, and Xiaomi could not control it. She was instantly terrified.

Mom and Dad, get up quickly. Your precious daughter is going to wet the bed!

Xiaomi cried out with all her might, and Jiang Hu and Er Niang were instantly jolted awake.

Jiang Hu instinctively wiped his mouth with his sleeve and did not notice the taste of milk powder in his mouth.

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Is Sanni hungry?” He picked Xiaomi up in a hurry. “Er Niang, do you think Sanni is hungry? It’s been a while.”

Xiaomi continued to scream. She had forgotten to drink milk powder for herself just now. She was indeed hungry, but that was not important. What was important was that she had wet the bed!

Perhaps sensing his sister’s emotions, Siwa also woke up. He was not hungry, so he did not cry but he screamed.

Unfortunately, Xiaomi didn’t understand the baby language and didn’t know what Siwa was talking about.

Er Niang touched the two babies’ buttocks. “Yes, they peed. A large area of the diaper was wet. They might have peed several times. No wonder the babies are uncomfortable.”

Xiaomi almost fainted and she was absolutely mortified. She had wet the bed several times, but she actually didn’t know anything!

Jiang Hu quickly changed Sanni and Siwa’s diapers. While Er Niang was breastfeeding, he went out in the dark to wash the diapers.

Siwa stopped eating after he was full. Xiaomi ate a little more, which caused Er Niang and Jiang Hu to be rest assured. However, they looked at Siwa even more worriedly.

This baby was thin and small to begin with. Now that he ate even less, how could he survive?

Xiaomi did not care. She had fed Siwa with milk powder and he was full now. But next, it was Big Brother and Second Sister’s turn!

Therefore, when she was put down, Xiaomi continued to shout, Stinky Daddy, quickly put me together with Second Sister and Big Brother. They’re about to starve to death!

“What’s wrong, Sanni? Are you not full?” Er Niang wanted to carry Xiaomi over to continue feeding her.

Xiaoimi turned her head away. She didn’t eat or cry. She just screamed.

The cry was loud and clear, successfully waking Erni.

“Father, Mother, why is Third Sister crying?” Erni rubbed her eyes and sat up. Xiaomi stopped crying instantly and even reached out in the direction of Erni’s voice.

Jiang Hu was stunned. “Sanni, you want Second Sister?”

Ahh, right, right. Go to Second Sister’s side and sleep with them!

Xiaomi waved her hand. Jiang Hu looked at Er NIang in disbelief. “Don’t tell me our Sanni understands me?”

How is this possible?

Xiaomi did not care. She just wanted her Second Sister.

“Mother, does Third Sister want to sleep with me?” Erni woke up. “Third Sister is so obedient. She cries during the day and wants to sleep with Mother, and at night, she wants to sleep with Father. Now, she wants to sleep with me. Third Sister is so fair. She likes every one of us!”

No matter what, Xiaomi was successfully placed between Erni and Dawa. Xiaomi believed that as long as she did it a few more times, everyone would develop the habit. At that time, she wouldn’t have to cry!
