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

Chapter 206 Black Dog
The shop has been secured, and now there's a lot to do.

After dinner, the family enjoyed the cool air under the flower trellis in the yard and took the opportunity to sort out what they needed to do next.

Xiao Huan took the large watermelon that was being kept in the well and cut it into pieces.

Watermelons are a product of the spirit field. Yuanyuan had the birds bring back a lot of seeds before, but Shang Wan couldn't identify them. So she simply soaked them in spirit spring water before planting them to try.

Unexpectedly, there were many surprises, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, and herbs.

There were only two watermelon vines, but fortunately, the spirit field doesn't discriminate against seeds; if they had been planted outside, they definitely wouldn't have survived.

There are now a dozen or so large watermelons lying in Shang Wan's space. She specifically instructed everyone to keep the watermelon seeds so that they can continue to grow them in the future.

Chu Xu was very curious about where the watermelon came from, but Shang Wan lied without changing her expression, "Yuanyuan brought it back from the mountains, you can ask Yuanyuan."

Chu Xu excitedly ran over to ask Yuan Yuan.

Roundy blinked her big eyes, her soft, baby voice asking, "Huh?"

"This one," Chu Xu pointed to the sliced ​​watermelon in the fruit plate, "where did you pick it from?"

Yuanyuan: "Planted."

"Yes, where did you pick it?"

Yuanyuan: "Planted."

Chu Xu assumed the baby's pronunciation was inaccurate and patiently corrected Yuan Yuan's pronunciation before asking the same question again.

This time, Yuanyuan didn't answer. She just tilted her head and looked at him with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Chu Xu: "???"

Why did Yuanyuan dislike him?

Yuan Yuan said that she had answered twice already, and the little brother was so silly!

In the end, Chu Xu was unable to get a definite answer from Yuan Yuan.

Watermelons that haven't undergone selective breeding in later generations have thicker rinds, are juicy but only slightly sweet, and have a lot of seeds.

This is a cheap way to collect seeds late in the day.

Lingtian has a selection function; if you wait a few times, you might be able to eat a sweet and juicy watermelon.

In the past few days, the number of spiritual fields in Shang Wan's space has increased by two, and now there are thirty-four fields.

This made her increasingly inclined to the conclusion that the growth of the spiritual field was related to saving people.

The group ate watermelon while assigning tasks.

The shop needs a major renovation, and Shang Wan plans to oversee it personally, leaving the household affairs to Lu Chengjing and the other two.

The villagers haven't been informed about the herbal medicine preparation yet. Lu Chengjing plans to talk to Old Man Wu about it tomorrow and invite the village elders over to hear their opinions.

After all, the elderly have lived in the village for a long time, and they know best how the villagers will react.

Stone had to take care of the fields and prepare the herbs, while Little Ring was responsible for everyone's food and clothing, and would occasionally help Stone out.

Chu Xu eagerly raised his little hand, "What about me? I want to help too."

"Woo!" Yuanyuan, with a piece of watermelon still in her mouth, quickly raised her hand when she saw the older boy raise his. Because she spoke so fast, the watermelon juice in her mouth sprayed out.

Fortunately, no one was sitting opposite her, but Lu Chengjing, who was holding her, suffered the consequences, as the hem of his clothes was stained light pink by watermelon juice.

Xiao Huan let out an "Ah," her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

This garment is made of fine material, but precisely because of this fine material, it's difficult to wash off watermelon juice stains. If you rub it too hard, the garment will be ruined.

My brother-in-law can probably only wear this outfit at home now.

"It's alright." Lu Chengjing waved his hand dismissively, wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of Yuanyuan's mouth with a handkerchief, and said gently, "No rush, swallow what's in your mouth before you speak."

The little baby, unaware that he had just taken five taels of silver, was grinning at his father.

Lu Chengjing pinched her fair little face, took the watermelon rind from his daughter's hand, and gave her a new one.

Yuanyuan buried her head and let out a big gulp, her little face, which she had just wiped clean, was smeared with watermelon juice again. She pouted her pink lips and spat watermelon seeds into the bowl with a crisp, clear sound.

"Aunt Shang, I want to help." Chu Xu turned his gaze away from Yuan Yuan, reached out and put his arm around Shang Wan's arm, shaking it vigorously. Shang Wan handed him a piece of watermelon and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"whatever?"

Shang Wan nodded, "You go first."

Chu Xu's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "I want to follow you."

The village was so boring. Although the county town couldn't compare to Beijing, it was at least a new place.

Shang Wan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

She was still unaware of what was going on with the Chu family army, so keeping Chu Xu under her watchful eye made her feel more at ease.

To put it bluntly, if another assassin comes, with her there, the child's life will at least be safe.

Yuanyuan seems to understand now and is actively expressing that her baby wants to stay with his mother too.

Shang Wan's one-person team suddenly had two more kids.

Xiao Huan was worried that Shang Wan would be too busy to take care of the two children while she was busy with the shop's renovation, so she wanted to help Shang Wan share the burden and at least keep one of them.

But the two children clung tightly to Shang Wan's arms, one on each side, and neither of them wanted to stay.

Even when Xiao Huan tempted them with delicious food, the two kids remained unmoved.

Shang Wan had no choice but to make a three-point agreement with the two: once they arrived in the city, they were not allowed to wander around and had to stay with her.

The two children readily agreed.

With the matter settled, Shang Wan began a period of busy renovations, leaving early and returning late.

On her first day in the city, Yuanyuan, who didn't have a wolf to get around, quickly found herself a dog to take her around.

The black dog appeared out of nowhere; its fur was soft, shiny black, and it was plump and strong, clearly living a good life.

Shang Wan rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "My dear, where did you kidnap him from?"

Yuanyuan tilted her head to look at Chu Xu, clearly unaware of where she had gone.

So Shang Wan also looked at Chu Xu.

The well-traveled young master Chu straightened his back and uttered two words: "Casino."

Shang Wan: "..."

Good heavens, she didn't even notice them for a second, how did these two kids end up at the casino?
We agreed to buy the sugar figurine at the street corner.

"Did you pay?"

The two children shook their heads together.

Yuanyuan touched the big, fierce-looking black dog with her little hands and smiled at Shang Wan, saying, "Mommy, it came with me... to play."

Chu Xu translated and added, "This dog is kept in a big cage. There are many, many big cages there. This dog is the fattest and best-looking. Yuanyuan likes it very much."

After listening to the two children, Shang Wan figured that the black dog must be a fighting dog from the casino, and judging from Chu Xu's description, it was probably one of the more powerful ones there.

She said helplessly, "Just because you like someone doesn't mean you can steal their dog."

"No!" Yuanyuan waved her little hand at her mother, saying that the dog ran out on its own, it wasn't stolen.

Chu Xu also helped explain that they had followed an orange cat and crawled into the casino through a dog hole.

Perhaps because the two children were small, no one in the casino noticed them.

The two followed the orange cat all the way to the dog cage. Yuanyuan used the ointment her mother had given her to treat the wounds of a large, badly injured dog. After applying the ointment, the two left. Only after they went outside did they realize that a large black dog had followed them all the way back to the shop.

Shang Wan: "..."

Don't pick up stray dogs from the street.

Yuanyuan reached out her little hands and hugged the black dog's neck, looking at her mother with her big, watery eyes, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I love it!"

Shang Wan, who dotes on her child: "If you like it, keep it."

When she has some free time, she can go to the casino and buy the black dog.
