The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

Suddenly, several small black creatures jumped out from the bushes, stopped two steps away from Yuanyuan, and lined up in a row like a military parade.

Xiaohuan's eyes widened and she almost screamed.

What came turned out to be a group of rats!

No, to be precise, it was a group of voles.

Its strong and sturdy body is covered with dense short hair, its limbs are short and powerful, and its head is large with two small bright black eyes that almost blend into the black hair.

Voles feed on the roots, stems, leaves and seeds of plants. One vole can destroy an entire field of crops and is difficult to catch, causing great headaches for farmers.

Lu Chengjing finally understood how his daughter planned to help her Uncle Shitou.

As we all know, although voles have short claws, they are very good at digging holes in the ground to hide themselves.

Isn’t digging a hole just digging the soil?

What to do when reclaiming land? Digging the soil!

Little girl Yuanyuan specially found a group of little helpers who are good at digging soil for her Uncle Shitou.

Lu Chengjing asked his daughter, "Why is it a vole?"

Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes and pointed her little finger at Lu Chengjing, "Four... Daddy."

Lu Chengjing:?

He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you referring to the story I told you?"

Yuanyuan nodded her little head, "Four!"

Xiaohuan and Shitou looked over and said, "Brother-in-law, what story did you tell Yuanyuan that involved field mice?"

Lu Chengjing uttered four words, "Rat Family."

Ever since Yuanyuan controlled the monkey to help her family that day, Lu Chengjing realized that his daughter was no ordinary person. Seeing that Xiao Hui listened to her very much, he began to guess that his daughter had extraordinary abilities.

So he consciously added a lot of animal-related content to the stories he told every day. It was easy for the scholar to make up some interesting stories to entertain his daughter, and Yuanyuan listened very carefully every time.

What surprised Lu Chengjing was that Yuanyuan, at such a young age, actually knew how to draw inferences from the story and apply it to life, and she did it correctly.

Facing the surprised looks of her father, aunt, and uncle, Yuanyuan grinned with two small teeth showing, "Wow...Okay!"

Lu Chengjing taught his daughter, "Yes, Yuanyuan is amazing."

"Li...hi..." Yuanyuan followed suit, repeating it to herself a few times, then pointed her little finger at herself, "Li Hai!"

All three of them were amused by her.

"Yuanyuan, listen to what your uncle has to say." Shitou half-knelt and whispered to Yuanyuan, trying to instill the essentials of land reclamation into Yuanyuan's little head.

Yuanyuan's eyes started to circle when she heard this. She pushed away Uncle Shitou's big face with her little hand and waved at the field mice on standby, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.

The field mice ran into the ground as if they had received some orders, and skillfully dug holes and burrowed down.

Nearly twenty voles used their best skills to dig holes underground, loosening the soil as they drilled back and forth.

Shitou was also not idle. He and Xiaohuan worked together to clear the weeds, bushes and stones on the ground.

Because the voles had bitten through the roots in the ground, it was quite easy for the two men to pull them out.

From time to time, voles would throw stones out of their holes.

The stone stood by and watched, and when there were two or three pieces in the pile, he picked them up and threw them outside, making a pile together.

With the help of voles, the efficiency of land reclamation soared.

All Shitou had to do was to use a hoe to turn over the soil that the field mice had loosened and pick out the remaining grass and tree roots. Compared to yesterday, the work was not much easier.

So much so that his eyes turned green when he looked at Yuanyuan. This was his great treasure who helped him farm the land!

Yuanyuan was drinking milk from a bottle. After she finished, she handed the bottle to Lu Chengjing and invited her father to drink it with her.

Lu Chengjing politely declined his daughter's kindness. Seeing that his daughter did not show any abnormality like the time when he summoned the monkey, he turned his wheelchair and went back to continue practicing his left-handed calligraphy.

Xiaohuan remembered that the washed clothes had not yet been hung out to dry, so she followed them back.

On this side, little Yuanyuan and Uncle Shitou were happily clearing the land together, while on the other side, Shang Wan drove a ox cart to the brick kiln.

The steward still remembered Shang Wan. After reading the contract, he took Shang Wan to get the bricks.

"Mrs. Shang, how many bricks can your ox cart carry? I'll have someone load it for you."

Shang Wan was not sure either. He heard from the steward that an ordinary ox cart could pull 300 bricks. Thinking that his ox had drunk spiritual spring water after all, he asked the steward to load 500 bricks so that he could unload the cart if it couldn't pull the load.

The steward was having people load bricks onto the cart, and he said, "This cart is five hundred. Four thousand bricks have to be transported eight times. Why are you here alone?"

Shang Wan said: "My family is currently reclaiming land and we don't have any help. It won't hurt if I make a couple more trips."

The manager thought of the young man in the wheelchair that day, and seeing how frail Shang Wansheng was, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him, so he thought of asking the waiter to help make two trips.

Shang Wan didn’t even bring the stone with him, so how could he let his men follow him?

After he politely declined, the manager thought Shang Wan was just being stubborn and didn't insist, but just asked the waiter to be more careful.

Shang Wan still underestimated his own ox. It could pull five hundred bricks easily. Seeing that there was still room on the ox cart, he asked his men to help fill it up. In the end, the cart was loaded with six hundred bricks.

After thanking his servant, Shang Wan drove the ox cart away. When he reached a deserted place, he raised his hand to collect all the bricks into the space and drove the ox cart towards the city.

When we entered the city, we found out that the relief grain from the imperial court had arrived. However, when we opened the bags, we found that half of the grain was filled with stones.

Fortunately, Lord An was well prepared and used the food he had raised to comfort the victims in time. Now the government is arranging people to deliver food to various villages.

Shang Wan guessed that the yamen runners should go to Liushu Village first, after all, the disaster in Liushu Village was the most serious.

She made a note of this and went to the drink shop to buy goat milk to store for her cub in the space. Although Xiao Huan was wondering where Shang Wan kept the goat milk, she would not ask more if Shang Wan did not tell her.

Then I went to buy lime, which I would need when building the wall. After leaving the city, I put the lime into the space.

Calculating the time, Shang Wan returned to the brick kiln and asked his servants to load 600 bricks again.

After finding a place to rest for half an hour, Shang Wan returned again with another 600 bricks.

The two guys in charge of loading bricks were wondering why Shang Wan came back so soon.

Shang Wan just thought that he could unload the bricks at his relative's house because his relative lived nearby and would be back sooner.

After seven trips back and forth, Shang Wan finally finished moving the bricks. She took out the steamed cakes Xiao Huan had prepared for her and drove the ox cart back to the village.

About two miles away from the village, she took out five hundred bricks from the space, loaded them on the ox cart, and slowly went home.

Smoke had already risen from some of the houses in the village. The ox cart was still some distance away from home. Lu Chengjing turned his wheelchair, with Yuanyuan sitting in his arms, and they came out to greet them.

"Yuanyuan said you're back." Lu Chengjing explained without asking why Shang Wan came back with only one load of bricks after being out for a day.

Shang Wan jumped off the ox cart, loosely pulled the reins, and walked home with the father and daughter.

Yuanyuan tugged at Lu Chengjing's collar and urged in a baby voice, "Daddy!"

"Okay, I'll tell your mother right away." Lu Chengjing patted his daughter soothingly and told Shang Wan about Yuanyuan summoning field mice to help Shitou reclaim the wasteland.

Yuanyuan tilted her little head up and waited for her mother to praise her.

Shang Wan didn't bother to praise her, and asked, "My dear, did you pay the field mouse for the work you asked him to do?"
