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

Chapter 94 Someone at the Village Entrance
Shang Wan stared at the fresh, green cabbages in the spirit field for a long time, when an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

Back in the apocalypse, she conducted an experiment by watering the spiritual spring water into the spiritual fields.

The conclusion reached at the time was that the spiritual spring water could only improve the quality of crops grown in the spiritual fields, but could not accelerate the ripening of crops.

At that time, Shang Wan's superpowers improved rapidly, and the time flow rate of the spiritual field itself was astonishing, so it didn't matter whether there was a spiritual spring to assist her.

Perhaps we can give it another try now, just in case it works?
Having made up her mind, Shang Wan planned to plant another batch of bok choy after this batch matured, irrigate it with spiritual spring water, and see how it went.

Pulling her mind back from the spatial realm, Shang Wan leaned against Little Grey and yawned, preparing to take a nap before heading into the mountains to hunt.

Before she could even close her eyes, Li Xiaoshan led a few boys from the village running over. Before they even got close, his clear voice rang out, "Sister! Someone at the village entrance is looking for brother-in-law!"

Shang Wan leaned against Xiao Hui, too lazy to get up, and pointed to Lu Chengjing, who was practicing calligraphy not far away, saying, "Let's talk over there."

"Oh." Li Xiaoshan glanced longingly at the gray wolf; he was still thinking of petting it.

The other three boys were also there to touch the wolf.

Now they can only watch longingly, unable to even touch the small hill, let alone reach them.

Shang Wan took in the expressions of the children and chuckled to herself. Were they really treating the wolf like a dog?
She patted Little Gray's head and told it to watch over the children.

Little Grey lifted its eyelids, glanced at the scene, then closed them again. Its tail swept across Shang Wan's skirt as it continued to doze off.

Shang Wan didn't force it. She listened to the sounds at the village entrance and stroked the gray wolf's thick fur again and again.

"Surname Qiao?" Lu Chengjing put down his brush and looked up at Li Xiaoshan who was standing nearby.

Li Xiaoshan nodded repeatedly, "He was dressed in very fine clothes, and his lackey was even leading a sheep."

This description, mentioning that he was both his classmate and the leader of the flock, must be Qiao Yu'an.

Li Xiaoshan said, "The sheep ate the vegetables in Liu's field and trampled a lot of them. Brother Liu Cheng is stopping people to argue with them."

Lu Chengjing was quite helpless upon hearing this, "I'll go to the village entrance and take a look."

"Brother-in-law, let me push you." Li Xiaoshan walked to the back of the wheelchair and, together with his friends, pushed Lu Chengjing toward the village entrance.

It wasn't a big deal, so Shang Wan didn't go, but Yuan Yuan really wanted to see what was going on.

With her mother monopolizing Little Grey's transportation, Yuan Yuan immediately set her sights on Liang Liang, who was there to play with her.

The little hand tugged at the shiny hem of her clothes, "Go!"

Liangliang looked away from the pile of stones and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

Yuanyuan pointed to the spot where Lu Chengjing had left and repeated, "Go!"

"Don't run around." Liangliang kept his father's instructions firmly in mind. He had to be obedient at his master's house and not run around.

"Go!" Yuanyuan climbed into her older brother's arms and sat down, tilting her little face up with bright, expectant eyes.

Liangliang stared at the little one in his arms for a moment, feeling a bit overwhelmed. But he glanced in his father's direction, shook his head, and repeated, "Don't run around."

Yuan Yuan puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, her eyes darting around, a glint of something unusual flashing across them.

A passing sparrow suddenly swooped down from the sky and gently pecked Liangliang on the head with its sharp beak.

Liangliang winced in pain, covering his head with one hand and shooing the dog away with the other.

After being pecked several times, he worried that Yuanyuan would also be pecked by the sparrows, so he quickly picked her up and ran in the opposite direction from where the sparrows were chasing, which was the direction where Lu Chengjing and the others had left.

The sparrows relentlessly chased after the two.

Shang Wan clicked her tongue in amazement. The more the little guy used his superpowers, the more skilled he became at controlling them.

By the time Liangliang realized what was happening, he had already caught up with Lu Chengjing while carrying Yuanyuan, and the sparrow had flown away at some point.

"Daddy!" Yuanyuan happily jumped into Lu Chengjing's arms, while Li Xiaoshan and his friends curiously looked at Liangliang, this unfamiliar face. Liangliang shrugged and took a small step to the side.

Tiger, with a small pockmark on his cheek, asked, "Who are you?"

Liangliang lowered his head and remained silent.

Jin Shun, the smallest of the three, found it strange and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Duo Duo!" Yuan Yuan called out, sticking her little head out. Liang Liang turned to look at her.

"Siduoduo!" Yuanyuan pointed at Liangliang and said to the other children, "Turtle, play!"

Children: ? ? ?

Li Xiaoshan automatically acted as the translator, saying, "Yuanyuan is saying that Liangliang is like us, a little brother who plays with her."

"Four!" Yuanyuan quickly nodded her little head in agreement.

Li Xiaoshan looked at Liangliang and introduced himself, "My name is Xiaoshan, and these are Huzi, Dazhu, and Jinshun."

He pointed to each of his friends one by one, and finally asked Liangliang, "What's your name? Let's play together from now on."

Liangliang looked up at him for a moment, then quickly looked down again, and whispered, "Liang... Liangliang, my name is Liangliang."

"Liangliang, we're going to play marbles later, do you want to play?" Li Xiaoshan noticed that Liangliang was a little shy, so he took the initiative to invite him.

Liangliang pursed his lips and clenched his hands tightly. Before he could speak, a sweet, soft little voice answered for him: "Play!"

Yuanyuan raised her little hand, showing great enthusiasm.

Liangliang: "..."

Although he didn't say he agreed, he didn't object either.

The children took it as his agreement and, while pushing Lu Chengjing toward the village entrance, began discussing marbles techniques.

Li Xiaoshan would occasionally give Liangliang a word, and gradually, Liangliang became less nervous. He could say one sentence out of every ten sentences others said.

Yuanyuan was quite engrossed in the discussion, but only she knows the specifics of what they talked about.

As they discussed, they arrived at the village entrance, where a group of people, men and women, had gathered. Occasionally, the bleating of sheep could be heard coming from inside.

Lu Chengjing was pushed and squeezed into the crowd by Li Xiaoshan, and saw the scene inside.

Liu Cheng, dressed in coarse linen clothes, grabbed Qiao Yu'an's servant, A'le, and said, "You're not allowed to leave until you pay up!"

Qiao Yu'an was wearing a light blue round-necked robe today, cinched at the waist with a jade belt, and adorned with numerous purses, pendants, and other small items. He hurriedly explained, "I already said, we didn't trample these vegetables! Are you even being reasonable?"

"You guys ruined most of the vegetables in the field as soon as you arrived. Who else could it be but you?" Liu Cheng increased the pressure on his hands, and Ah Le immediately cried out, "Ouch, ouch!" and shouted, "Young Master, save me!"

"Let go of Ah Le!" Qiao Yu'an tucked his folding fan into the back of his collar and was about to roll up his sleeves to rescue his servant when he suddenly saw Lu Chengjing.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted, "Chengjing!"

Lu Chengjing nodded to him, then looked at Liu Cheng and said, "Brother Liu, let's talk things over slowly. These two are old acquaintances of mine, could you please release them first?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng hesitated for a moment before releasing his grip.

Ah Le quickly ran back to Qiao Yu'an's side, grimacing as he stretched his shoulders.

“Scholar, it’s not that I’m being unreasonable.” Liu Cheng pointed to the messy vegetable patch beside him. “Look at these vegetables, they’ve been trampled by their sheep and are inedible. You have to give me an explanation for this.”

“It wasn’t our sheep that stepped on it.” Ah Le tugged at the rope around the sheep’s neck. “I’ve been holding on tight the whole time, how could it possibly have stepped on your land?”
