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

Chapter 51 Repraise
His bewildered yet serious expression made Shang Wan laugh out loud.

This kid used to run errands for Lu Chengjing, he's never done any heavy work before. It would probably take two of him to barely move the wood.

Shi Tou blushed with embarrassment and secretly resolved to exercise more in the future, increase his strength, and help his family.

After laughing, Shang Wan also thought about improving the combat power of her family members. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't protect everyone all the time. Only strong personal abilities were truly strong.

Let's start by improving our physical condition. The spiritual spring water is a good thing; we should make use of it.

Lu Chengjing slowly opened his eyes upon hearing Shang Wan's laughter. He felt something in his arms and reached out to touch it, pulling out a familiar jade pendant.

Lu Chengjing's fair fingertips caressed the smooth edge of the jade pendant. His eyes were deep, and he released his grip, causing the jade pendant to fall straight down.

"Don't break it even if you don't want it." The jade pendant fell into Shang Wan's hand. "It's quite pretty. It'll be worth a lot of money if you pawn it."

Lu Chengjing sat up, his usually clear voice a little hoarse from just waking up, "Then let's pawn it."

Shang Wan waved the jade pendant at him, "Didn't you like it quite a bit? Are you really not going to take it anymore?"

"I don't like it anymore." Lu Chengjing looked up at the person in front of him, his tone resolute. "I don't want it."

"Okay." Shang Wan put the jade pendant away. "I'll go to the city tomorrow and pawn it to help build our new house."

Something seemed to have pleased Lu Chengjing, and a faint smile appeared on his still sleepy face, dazzling Shang Wan.

Shang Wan reached out and traced the corner of the person's lips as they curved upwards, demanding, "Smile again."

Lu Chengjing: ?

Shang Wan urged, "Hurry up, I want to see it."

Young Master Lu was forced to smile, and Shang Wan expressed her satisfaction.

She casually touched the pointed chin of the person in front of her and told her about the matter that Li Dashan had asked her to inquire about.

"The villagers want you to help with the bookkeeping. If you're willing, they'll give you two marks. I didn't agree on your behalf, but if you're willing to help, have Shitou go and tell the villagers."

Lu Chengjing looked down at his right hand, which still felt nothing, and remained silent.

Shang Wan grabbed his right hand, her slender white fingertips stroking the pinkish-white scar on his wrist.

"The scar will fade in a couple of days. Your body is weak, so the recovery will be slower. After the tendons in your hand have healed, you will need to do rehabilitation. It will take at least two months to fully recover your previous flexibility. You can't rush it."

"It's a miracle that he's recovered." Lu Chengjing made room for Shang Wan, who then sat down, wrapped her arms around his thin wrist, and glanced at his equally thin waist and abdomen, secretly wondering how to fatten him up.

Now it's all bones, even sleeping with it feels uncomfortable.

Realizing her thoughts had wandered off course, Shang Wan quickly pulled herself back, clearing her throat lightly. "Well, although I think you write quite well with your left hand, if you don't want to help, then don't go. Our family isn't short of money. Just take good care of yourself; I'll take care of things at home."

Lu Chengjing turned his head to look at the person beside him, his eyes serious with a hint of inquiry, "We are not related, why are you treating me so well?"

Without thinking, Shang Wan replied, "Because you're good-looking."

A person with a severe case of being obsessed with looks said, "Isn't it normal to be attracted to attractive people?"

Lu Chengjing was silent for a moment, then asked, "Besides appearance?"

“Hmm…” Shang Wan thought about it seriously for a moment, then said decisively, “It’s fun to tease them.”

Lu Chengjing: "..."

He shouldn't have asked!
"I'm willing to help." After saying this, Lu Chengjing lay down again, turning to face the other side.

Shangwan: ?
A beautiful appearance and an interesting soul are both compliments, so why are you suddenly angry?
"Turn around." Shang Wan reached out and poked Lu Chengjing's back, threateningly saying, "Or I'll pull your hair." Would Lu Chengjing be threatened by such a childish trick?

will not!

He slowly turned around, staring at Shang Wan's hand on his long hair, his pale lips pressed together, saying nothing.

Although her face was expressionless, Shang Wan could still see a pout on that pretty face. She couldn't help but pinch it, her voice tinged with amusement, "I was just praising you, why are you angry?"

Lu Chengjing ignored the hands that were messing with his face, looked up at her for a long time, and then, suppressing the frustration in his chest, uttered two words, "Praise me again."

Shang Wan clicked her tongue lightly. This guy's been spoiled rotten; he's even asking for favors now.

Looking at Lu Chengjing's pleasing face, Shang Wan's eyes darted around, and she bent down to whisper in his ear, "So cute, I want to kiss you."

Upon hearing the last word, Lu Chengjing's already pale face turned as red as the evening glow, and even his eyes glazed over.

Shang Wan suppressed a laugh and asked softly, "Do you want me to continue praising you?"

Lu Chengjing turned his head and used his bright red ears to express his refusal.

Shang Wan chuckled softly; it was really fun to tease him.

She reached out and smoothed Lu Chengjing's loose black hair behind his back, covering his red ears as she did so. "I'll have Shitou tell the villagers that people will be coming over gradually. I'll go and prepare some writing materials for you."

She got up and left. The person who had been lying still turned his head slightly and glanced at her back through the gap. The heat that had finally subsided on his face began to return.

Yuanyuan crawled over with her little head on top of the little turtle, wanting her dad to be the referee for the crawling race, but she saw a big red face instead.

The little guy blinked, wiggled his bottom, and crawled back the way he came.

Let's ask Aunt Xiaohuan to be the referee.

Shi Tou ran to inform the villagers that Shang Wan had prepared writing materials for Lu Chengjing and set up a temporary table before continuing to move trees.

After the kitchen was cleaned up, the stove was usable. Xiao Huan saw that it was almost time, so she grabbed some things and started a fire to cook.

As soon as the referee left, Yuanyuan's crawling race with the little turtle ended. She crawled back to her daddy, tilted her cute little face up, and said, "Daddy! Listen!"

This means they want to hear a story.

Lu Chengjing practiced writing with his left hand while telling stories to his daughter.

While things were peaceful here, the Lin family was thrown into chaos because they couldn't find Tiedan.

After sending Liu to the Yuan family, Lin Jianshan was preoccupied with the thirty taels of silver. He asked Zhou to take care of the two elders and then ran back to the Lin family.

He originally planned to get the silver back from Tie Dan and then give him a good beating.

He can't even handle a small matter properly, making his father lose face so badly. He deserves a good spanking to teach him a lesson.

To everyone's surprise, Tie Dan wasn't at the Lin family's house; only Er Ya was resting inside because she had been injured on the head during the earthquake.

Lin Jianshan went out cursing and swearing, his desire to teach his son a lesson reaching its peak at that moment.

But when he asked all the boys who usually played with Tie Dan, none of them had seen Tie Dan, let alone knew where Tie Dan had gone.

Lin Jianshan suddenly remembered the red cloth he had dug up from the Lu family's house, and felt inexplicably panicked. He quickly went to the places where Tiedan often played, and even searched the riverbank, but there was no trace of Tiedan.

Lin Jianshan was completely panicked. He only had one son, Tiedan. Where did that child go?
