Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"West Lake is beautiful after the lotus flowers bloom, when we come with wine. No need for banners, red canopies and green canopies follow in front and behind."

A painted boat paddles deep into the flowers, fragrance wafting from a golden cup. A light mist falls, and amidst the sounds of music and song, one returns home in a drunken stupor. (PS: "Picking Mulberry Leaves - West Lake is Beautiful After the Lotus Blossoms" by Ouyang Xiu, Song Dynasty)

Li Xingyu sat on the hoverboard, leisurely swinging her legs, holding a cup of warm tea in her hands and slowly sipping it, occasionally reciting a poem that came to mind.

In stark contrast to Li Xingyu's leisurely enjoyment, dozens of people in front of her were working enthusiastically.

The process of building interstellar items was completely different from what Li Xingyu had known before.

First of all, there are no various machines; the abilities of the interstellar people are more convenient and efficient than skills.

Objects like cranes and cutting machines can be instantly killed by a person using wind-based abilities combined with wind blades, without consuming any energy. At most, it just requires some skill in operation.

Regarding the construction of the small boat, putting aside the fact that Li Xingyu's blueprints were quite detailed, there were also the two people, Hu Yu and Xinghe.

Although they had never built a wooden boat before, they had built spaceships and cruise ships.

They've done even more intricate and massive projects, and now they've come up with new and innovative designs.

For Hu Yu and Xinghe, a small boat like the one drawn by Li Xingyu didn't require much technical skill; they were much more interested in mortise and tenon joints than the boat itself.

Three levitating spheres floated behind Li Xingyu, offering a panoramic view of the entire scene.

"Hey, little supervisor, have you finished your tea? We've already prepared all the raw materials." Li Manzhou and Bellanette walked hand in hand to Li Xingyu, their tone teasing.

"I haven't finished drinking yet. If you're ready, let's move on to the next step." Li Xingyu looked at the half-full cup of tea left in her cup and answered Li Manzhou very honestly.

"Oh?" Li Manzhou also looked at the half-cup of tea in Li Xingyu's hand, his expression a half-smile, and let out a meaningful question.

"Now that we've finished drinking, let's go see what you've prepared." Subconsciously sensing a dangerous aura, Li Xingyu changed her mind without hesitation.

Seeing that Li Xingyu tilted his head back and finished the rest of the tea in his cup, then jumped to the ground to indicate that they could set off, Li Manzhou nodded in satisfaction.

Even if Little Feather is the supervisor, she shouldn't be such a leisurely supervisor.

After putting away the cup and the suspension plate, Li Xingyu walked towards where the materials were kept.

Although somewhat helpless, Li Xingyu could understand Li Manzhou and the others' feelings of not being able to stand seeing others so relaxed while they were working.

Although Li Manzhou and his group were only considering the final decorations and capacity of the small boat, they still had something to do compared to Li Xingyu, who was doing nothing but sitting there drinking tea.

Of course, "doing nothing" refers to that specific time period. Practically speaking, Li Xingyu's diagram has already solved many problems.

After the protagonist left, the three floating spheres paused briefly before catching up with Li Manzhou and Li Xingyu.

"Grandpa Fox Yu, Xinghe, how's your research going?" Li Xingyu approached Fox Yu and Xinghe, who were buried under a pile of wood, with a curious expression.

"Little Feather, this knowledge of mortise and tenon joints is truly ingenious. We haven't figured out the deeper aspects yet, but it's enough to make this little boat." Fox Yu's fiery red hair appeared even more vibrant with excitement.

Xinghe held two oddly shaped pieces of wood in his hand and nodded to the side.

"That was one of the most brilliant stars during the feudal dynasties of ancient Blue Star, and many of its buildings were constructed entirely using mortise and tenon joints."

Buildings constructed using mortise and tenon joints require no nails or metal fusion seams during construction, resulting in both aesthetic appeal and sturdiness. Hearing this, Li Xingyu perked up and launched into a rapid-fire explanation.

The crowd watching was stunned, and after they realized what was happening, they were filled with surprise and amazement.

The technologies and customs of ancient Earth are truly amazing, it's such a pity...

It's all the fault of those strange beasts.

The crowd, who were already disgusted and dissatisfied with the strange beasts, hated them even more. Although they were already close to the limit, it didn't stop them from adding more.

"There are many aspects of ancient technology that are worth learning, but unfortunately..." Foxy sighed to himself.

The unspoken words and the intended meaning were understood by everyone present.

"Oh dear~ Grandpa Fox Yu~ I'm still here, aren't I? Although I can't guarantee a 1:1 restoration, I can probably still manage to do it." Li Xingyu was standing, while Fox Yu was half-squatting on the ground.

Li Xingyu put his arm around Hu Yu's shoulder like they were best buddies and patted him with a smile.

Don't ask why it's only half-hug; the answer is that Li Xingyu's arms aren't long enough.

Looking at Li Xingyu's mature demeanor, Li Manzhou and the others felt a mix of helplessness, amusement, and deep satisfaction.

This is because they reduced the number of alien beasts to a certain extent, which is why Li Xingyu's own child is so lively and vibrant now.

I hope that, as Little Feather said, souls do exist in the world.

I really can't wait for the interstellar conference to come; I can't wait to show them the world as it is now.

Thinking of their former comrades, Li Manzhou and the others were momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.

This is the life they've worked so hard for, and it's their dream. They can't stay stuck in the old world forever, or they'll be laughed at if they find out later.

Perhaps it was Li Xingyu's previous suggestion of a memorial that stirred up long-forgotten memories, but recently Li Manzhou and the others have been thinking about their old buddies.

"Great-grandmother, great-grandfather, can I have the toys you made by hand?"

"That's how it looks. These are models of the parts; you can just make them out of wood." While Li Manzhou and Bellanette were distracted, Li Xingyu grabbed one of their arms.

What should I do if my elders often drift off into daydreams and think about all sorts of things?

It's simple, it's definitely because they're too idle right now and have nothing to do.

Just give them something to do, and it will help them get out of that heavy and depressing mood.

In fact, everyone present noticed Li Manzhou and the others' emotions, but they didn't know how to comfort or guide them.

Therefore, everyone acted as if nothing had happened.

However, Li Xingyu couldn't bear to see his family members so unhappy, and there was a ready-made excuse right there.

If that doesn't work, you can try acting cute, throwing a tantrum, or even rolling on the ground in a ball.

Fortunately, Li Manzhou and the others doted on their child, so Li Xingyu didn't need to say anything more. After receiving the pictures she sent, they went to the side to ponder them.

It's rare for my little feather to ask for something, so I have to get her this little toy.

A firm belief from parents who dote on their children.

"What? You want to make toys for me too?" Li Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Li Manzhou and Bellanette having a back-and-forth discussion. She then turned to meet the complicated expressions on Li Qingyue's and the others' faces.

Seeing Li Xingyu's ambiguous smile, Li Qingyue and the others quickly and firmly shook their heads in refusal.

I have a feeling that if I agree, something bad will happen.

But it's really hard to get along with elders; I don't even know what to talk about.

Suddenly I feel a little envious of Xiaoyu and the others.

After dealing with the two frail (?) elderly people, Li Xingyu supervised everyone as they began building the small boat.

They planned to make three small boats that initially looked the same, and then decorate them in different styles.

After all, there are many of them. Once a boat that can hold all of them is built, they can probably go directly to sea instead of going to the lake to admire the lotus flowers.

After discussing it with Hu Yu and Xinghe, Li Xingyu decided to adopt an assembly line approach.

The process involves each person being responsible for making small parts, and then assembling these parts together to form the final product.

This increases the speed without making the workload too heavy, and most importantly, it gives everyone something to do.

Li Xingyu angrily said: "If you're going out to play, just play happily. Why are you suddenly becoming emo?"

Boring adults.

snort!

Look how idle you all are.

Li Xingyu arranged for the adults responsible for building the small boat to complete their tasks, and then quietly gathered Haoyue and the others together.

"You guys go find these, okay? I've sent the pictures and scents to our group chat." Li Xingyu sat cross-legged on the grass, looking at the group of small animals in front of her, and quietly gave them instructions.

"Meow~ (Okay, Star, we promise to complete the mission.)"

"Mmm~ (Okay.)"

"Buzz buzz buzz~ (I will try my best.)"

"Chirp chirp chirp~ (Okay, Star, don't worry.)"

"Shh~ (Yes, we'll do our best!)"

…………

The animals that responded to Li Xingyu also lowered their voices.

Li Xingyu and the others are all very capable people. Even if they encounter any danger, they can quickly resolve it.

Haoyue and the others have been feeling a little sad because of protecting Li Xingyu.

Now that Li Xingyu needs their help, they will definitely do their best.

All the plants and animals have their own dedicated computers, and Li Xingyu has added many of their contact information over time.

Haoyue and the others found it too troublesome to add each person individually, so they simply created a group chat.

Only Li Xingyu and the plants and animals were included; Li Manzhou, Xinghe, and the others were not among them.

However, Li Xingyu didn't hide this from her family. Instead, she boasted about it in front of them, which earned her a "revenge" of rubbing her head in resentment.

The friendship between the plants and animals is very precious. They are powerful and have good thinking abilities, so they think about things more and are more cautious.

People like Li Xingyu are extremely rare in the interstellar space. At most, they might get along a little more harmoniously and lovingly because of their race, abilities, or mental attributes.

Others are either living together or as family members, but they are either alone or in pairs.

Li Xingyu has contact information for no less than 30 people, and there are still many in the group whose contact information she hasn't had a chance to exchange.

How could Li Manzhou and the others not be envious?

But I guess I'm mostly proud of it.

"Little Feather, we've finished the toy parts you mentioned. Here, take a look and see if they're okay." Li Manzhou walked towards Li Xingyu, holding several oddly shaped wooden parts, her expression a mixture of anticipation and doubt.

I was excited because this was the first time I'd ever made a toy with a little feather that opens and asks for something, and it felt pretty good.

The reason for the confusion was that Li Xingyu and Haoyue were secretly discussing something again.

"Great-grandmother and great-grandfather are so amazing! They finished the Luban lock and tangram so quickly." Li Xingyu looked at the parts in Li Manzhou and Bellanette's hands. Although she hadn't looked at them closely yet, it was always good to give them a compliment first.

"Hehehe, Little Feather is really amazing, but can these parts be used as toys?" Li Manzhou and Bellanette were a little embarrassed by Li Xingyu's praise.

"Yes, these are all small toys that can also help develop intelligence and thinking skills." Li Xingyu took the Luban lock parts from Li Manzhou and began assembling them with nimble fingers.

Bellanette looked at the various triangular pieces of wood and the cube with several faces missing in her hands, her eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.

What can these pieces of wood do? They can even exercise intelligence and thinking skills.

However, judging from the color scheme, it's probably for toddlers to play with.

Li Xingyu's drawings clearly marked the dimensions and requirements. Although Li Manzhou and the others had not studied forging, cutting and polishing according to the requirements of the drawings was still easy.

Moreover, Li Xingyu only wanted to give the two great-grandfathers something to do and stop them from being immersed in those unpleasant atmospheres; he didn't intend to make things difficult for them.

Handicrafts can be a calming and relaxing activity that cultivates the mind and body.

In short, it is very suitable for elderly people who have nothing to do.

Li Xingyu didn't ask for any more; she could handle the assembly herself.

Li Manzhou and Bellanette watched with curiosity and admiration as the wooden parts were quickly assembled into a cube in Li Xingyu's hands.

"Okay, this is how it looks when assembled, but disassembling it or changing its shape is a different process."

"Great-Grandma, would you like to give it a try?" Li Xingyu handed the Luban lock in her hand to Li Manzhou, inviting her with an expectant look on her face.

“…Okay.” Li Manzhou hesitated slightly before accepting it, seeing Li Xingyu’s bright and expectant eyes.

It's true that she couldn't resist Li Xingyu's expectant gaze, and it's also true that she was curious about the Luban Lock.

"Come on, great-grandfather, give me those cube-shaped pieces of wood. I'll assemble the Rubik's Cube first." After giving the Luban Lock to Li Manzhou, Li Xingyu stretched out his hand towards Bellanette.

"Here you go." Bellanette placed some of the things Li Xingyu wanted into her hands, then half-squatted down, holding the remaining parts with her arms outstretched.

"Thank you, Great-Grandpa, you've worked hard." Li Xingyu noticed Bellanette's actions, smiled and touched her cheek before starting to assemble the Rubik's Cube.

When Li Xingyu had Li Manzhou and Bellanette build the parts, he didn't intend to keep the toys for himself, but rather for Li Manzhou and the others to play with.

I'd gotten tired of these things before, but there wasn't a trace of them here.

Since we have nothing else to do, let's let them play with some educational toys first.
