The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 163 Placement
Shi Tou sobbed, his nose red, "Sis, since Brother Gao left, I've been cooking all by myself."

Shang Wan: "...You're crying over this?"

Stone nodded.

Shang Wan's feelings were incredibly complicated. She pointed at Ma Jieyong, who was also sobbing, and asked, "What about him?"

“Brother Ma said that he would never find a home that would feed him properly again. The thought of having to work while hungry filled him with sorrow.”

Shang Wan: "..." There's no need to be so pessimistic.

He Si slapped his apprentice on the back of the head, "How old are you? Crying like a child. Aren't you ashamed? Stop it now!"

Ma Jieyong wiped away his tears with his sleeve, turned to look at Shang Wan, and said, "Madam Shang, your bok choy is so delicious, could you sell me some?"

Shang Wan subtly observed him, wondering if this guy had noticed something was wrong with Xiao Baicai.
The next second she realized she was overthinking it; Ma Jieyong simply thought the bok choy soup tasted good.

Considering how hard this big, simple-minded guy worked, Shang Wan granted his small request and gave him a bunch of bok choy.

Ma Jieyong was so happy he was practically grinning from ear to ear, while He Sizhi couldn't bear to look at him.

This silly apprentice!
After saying goodbye, Stone drove the oxcart to take the four away.

Shang Wan walked around the new house with her hands behind her back. Although it was a newly built house, it was impossible to live in without cleaning it.

Before, there was only one wooden shed, so it didn't seem like a big deal. But now, with so many rooms to clean, Shang Wan already feels aches and pains in her back before she's even started cleaning.

Even superhumans don't go through this kind of abuse.

After a moment's thought, she decisively passed the matter on to Yuanyuan.

To be precise, it was given to the monkey squad that Yuanyuan was training.

With many monkeys, there is great strength. While a group of monkeys were jumping around in the new house and cleaning diligently, Shang Wan put everything in the wooden shed into her space.

She plans to convert the wooden shed into a cattle and sheep pen, specifically for cattle and ewes.

Keeping the cattle and sheep outside keeps the yard free of odors. With Xiao Hui watching over them, there's no need to worry about them being stolen.

If a thief were to actually target their home, Shang Wan would certainly teach him a lesson about why the flowers are so red.

After some simple renovations, including dismantling, patching, and hammering, the cattle and sheep immediately had a new home.

To prevent cattle and sheep from fighting, Shang Wan used a wooden fence to separate them in the middle, so that the two sides would not interfere with each other.

Shang Wan thought about it and turned the shed where Master He and the others lived into a simple chicken coop. They would buy a brood of chicks when they went to the market and raise them to lay eggs.

After the two sheds were renovated, the new house was also cleaned up by the monkeys.

Chu Xu sat on a stool with Yuan Yuan in his arms. On the left bamboo basket were tender little bok choy, and on the right bamboo basket were fresh white radishes.

Organized by the old monkey, the monkeys lined up in order and stepped forward one by one to receive their reward.

If you like cabbage, take cabbage; if you like radish, take radish.

You can take both if you like them, as long as the total doesn't exceed five.

These cabbages and radishes are all produced in the space and are very popular with the animals. Whether they are herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores, they all accept them as payment.

Yuanyuan made a deal with her mother: she asked the little bird to help her mother find seeds, and her mother paid her with cabbage and radishes.

Chu Xu originally thought that Yuan Yuan was only liked by small animals, but after seeing the army of monkeys today, he realized that was not the case.

He suspected that Yuanyuan could control these monkeys, just like the monkey show performers on the street, making the monkeys obey her commands.

"Yuanyuan, how did you do that?"

Yuanyuan tilted her little head to look at him.

Chu Xu pointed to the few remaining monkeys in the yard, "It's them. Why do they listen to you?"

Yuanyuan: "Be good."

Chu Xu repeated the question, "Why should I listen to you?"

Yuanyuan: "Why...what..." Chu Xu was exasperated: "Don't repeat what I said!"

Yuan Yuan opened her mouth wide, screaming, "Aaaaaaahhhhhh!"

Her soft, sweet voice was like an echo.

Chu Xu: "..."

He doesn't argue with a one-year-old baby!
"Why can Yuanyuan make the monkey obey her?" Shang Wan turned to look at the puffed-up, unhappy child. "Why are you asking this?"

Chu Xu answered truthfully, "I want to learn."

Making all the animals obey is super cool, isn't it?
If he learns this trick, he will be able to control the enemy's horses on the battlefield, and winning the battle will be a piece of cake.
Shang Wan ruthlessly shattered his hopes, "It's innate; you can't learn it. Yuanyuan has always been pleasing to animals, and they listen to her."

"why?"

"How would I know?" Shang Wan shrugged. "If you want to know the reason, you'll have to ask the animals."

Chu Xu: "..."

He lowered his head dejectedly, dragged his feet, and slowly walked out.

"Brother!" Yuanyuan crawled over with her little turtle on her head and stretched out her little hands, wanting her older brother to hug her.

Chu Xu stared at her for a while, then his eyes lit up and an idea came to him.

He squatted down, patted Yuanyuan's little head, and asked seriously with a stern face, "Yuanyuan, do you want to be a general?"

Yuan Yuan blinked in confusion, "Huh?"

Chu Xu explained with great enthusiasm: "A general is someone who goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, protect the country, and is extremely majestic."

Yuanyuan tried hard to understand what the older boy meant: "Next?"

"General, you can't eat this." Chu Xu picked her up and decided to tell the little baby in his arms about his heroic deeds on the battlefield.

If he can't control the animals, why doesn't he just kidnap the person who can?

Hehe, he is really a little genius!
As for whether a woman can become a general, I'm sorry, young master hasn't thought of that yet.

The house is cleaned, and the next step is to put the furniture away.

Shang Wan carefully selected items and took them out of her spatial storage, while Lu Chengjing helped her organize them.

Since he was at home and there were no outsiders present, and Chu Xu was also in the know, he no longer needed to use a wheelchair to conceal his identity.

In the days leading up to the completion of the new house, Shang Wan gradually bought a lot of things and also ordered some from the Li family. With careful arrangement, the empty house gradually began to feel like home.

"I'll go get some soil later and plant the flowers and grass." Shang Wan stood by the window, looking at the still bare little garden, and pointed to a corner, "That spot is reserved for camellias. I'll move them out when I have the chance."

“No need for trouble.” Lu Chengjing also looked out the window. “Those two camellias were disliked by Madam Lu, who ordered them to be dug up and thrown away. I felt it was a pity, so I had them planted in my yard.”

Shang Wan said, "But you and Yuanyuan both like it."

"Let's plant some new ones." Lu Chengjing smiled slightly and took Shang Wan's hand. "Let's plant them together."

"What should we plant? Camellias, perhaps?"

"what do you like?"

Shang Wan lazily propped her chin up and said, "I like so many things. Flowers, white ones are noble, red ones are passionate, some bloom in spring, some bloom in winter, each has its own charm. It's so boring to only look at one kind."

Lu Chengjing: "Yuanyuan brought back quite a few flower seeds; we can give them a try."

"You'll plant them?"

"it is good."

"Can there be flowers all year round?"

"Ah."
