In her previous life, Ruan Xianxian, who took her cousin's place to go down to the countryside, returned to the city and took over the fiancé her cousin didn't want. She thought she had fo...
"Hey! Ruan Xiaoxian, when did you buy a house? Were you secretly developing your career on your own?"
Although this house is located in the county town, its location, layout, and size are all better than those houses in the provincial capital.
If no one comes for half a month, the house needs to be briefly rinsed with water.
With the three women working together, the house was completely transformed in less than half an hour. Hot water was boiling in the small kitchen, and the three women relaxed and sprawled on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Home is still the most comfortable place. In the hotel, we had a university professor in our room. He was a nice guy, but he loved to lecture. When it came to academics, he could talk a lot more than you."
Ruan Xianxian: ? ? ?
Zhao Di chimed in, "That's right. She even dragged me into discussing functions in the middle of the night. I wanted to ask her about English, but she said that just knowing the basics is enough, no need to study it in depth."
"He hasn't studied it in depth, yet he speaks it quite fluently."
The three of them chatted and complained, and before they knew it, they had fallen asleep. It was clear that Zhao Di and Xia Xia were really tired.
Only Ruan Xianxian carried the boiled water and entered the space when no one was around.
The place had changed drastically since her last visit. The spring water was shrouded in wisps of smoke, and a three-story villa stood in the center, with three low houses behind it.
A military green jeep was parked in the open space. In front of the villa, a big yellow dog curled up into a ball. Hearing the noise, it opened its eyes, and before its brain could even register it, it had already run over on all fours.
After patting the dog's head, Ruan Xianxian suddenly remembered that she had also brought in two monkeys.
Yes, two.
The mother monkey was well hidden, but Ruan Xianxian, upon first seeing her, learned through conversation that she had a baby monkey in her arms.
Upon entering the space, Ruan Xianxian saw nothing. She closed her eyes and sensed the surroundings. Instantly, every plant and tree in the space was taken into her mind.
At this moment, on the roof of the villa, there is a macaque holding a banana, with a miniature monkey on its head, hiding in a corner and watching her curiously.
Upon seeing the miniature monkey on the top of the macaque's head, Ruan Xianxian opened her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Monkey, get down."
After a long silence, she sneered, beckoned with her finger, and the macaque found its body suddenly out of control, enveloped by an irresistible force and flying straight down.
It makes a "chirp chirp" sound.
Ruan Xianxian tossed aside the large female monkey and carefully cradled a tiny monkey, no bigger than her palm, in her hands.
The monkey's thick, long fur was black, and its small, curled tail was black and gray. Its big, watery eyes looked at her pitifully and fearfully.
Ruan Xianxian's expression was strange. [Tongtong, what kind of monkey is this? Even a newborn monkey wouldn't be the size of a sparrow, would it?]
365: [This is a black monkey, Xianxian!]
Dark monkey? Ruan Xianxian quickly recalled and finally remembered that the dark monkey, scientifically known as the pygmy marmoset, is a primate that lives in South America.
It is also known as the world's smallest monkey.
Legend has it that it can help its owner grind and lick ink.
Small in size and known for its intelligence, it can curl up and sleep inside a pen holder. When its owner needs to grind ink, the owner only needs to tap the pen holder a few times, and it will jump to the inkstone to grind ink.
The ink monkey is also known as the "pen monkey" because it can turn pages, hand over paper, and fetch pens, making it a favorite among scholars and literati in ancient times.
Holding the little black monkey in her hands, Ruan Xianxian was extremely fascinated.
She looked at the large female monkey and asked, "Little one, where did you kidnap from?"
"Squeak squeak squeak".
Don't eat the one you rescued from the car; it's too small and doesn't taste good.
Oh, it turns out that this black monkey somehow ended up in the hands of hunters. On its way north, it ran around aimlessly and was almost eaten by a snake in the same vehicle. The mother monkey, who had lost her baby, protected it.
Because of its small size and easy concealment, the hunters didn't recognize its value and didn't pay much attention to the loss of a newborn monkey, which allowed the mother monkey to protect it until Ruan Xian had the opportunity to find it.
Knowing the whole story, Ruan Xianxian was even more intrigued. She let the little monkey hold her index finger and gently stroked it with her thumb.
“I don’t eat monkeys. You and your daughter can stay. If you want to leave, we can send you back to the South when we have the chance.”
Upon hearing this, the big female monkey almost rolled her eyes. Sending herself back to the south meant that no matter whether the black monkey liked it or not, the two-legged creature had to keep her here.
Ruan Xianxian didn't care what the mother monkey thought. She bought some peanuts and mangoes from the mall, saying that the black monkey loved to eat them.
The little guy was initially cautious, only staring at Ruan Xianxian with his two big eyes, without making any move.
Only after confirming that the person had no intention of harming her did she tentatively pick up Peanut with both paws.
The peanut produced by the system was almost as big as her whole monkey. The way she painstakingly peeled the peanut melted Ruan Xianxian's heart.
To prevent the overly clever mother monkey from corrupting her baby monkeys, Ruan Xianxian took a worn, unwashed piece of clothing and made a nest on the first floor of the villa.
Once the little monkey became familiar with her scent, it naturally wanted to get close to her.
After the whole routine, the female monkey who was excluded almost cried.
There was a lot of squeaking and yelling, but no one could enter the villa without Ruan Xianxian's permission. She sulked for a long time, and finally called Ruan Xianxian out of the house.
Pointing at the location of the sacred spring, it made a series of "squeaks" sounds.
Ruan Xianxian understood. She meant that she wanted to stay and also wanted to drink the water from the spiritual spring that was so attractive to her.
"If you want to drink, then drink. Nobody's stopping you."
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
"Didn't they stop us? That damned dog wouldn't let us get even half a step closer to the Spirit Spring," the big female monkey said angrily, her voice filled with accusations.
The dead dog not only wouldn't let them drink the water there, but also forced them to squat on the roof.
"Good dog!" Ruan Xianxian called out to Dahuang and praised him profusely, then bought two rabbits for him to eat as much as he wanted.
Dahuang was used to eating raw food, so she didn't force him to change his taste. She simply replaced his unhealthy animal offal with meat rabbit and nutritionally complete dog food produced by the system.
Having settled things with the little ones, who are all urging her, she's asked, "Aren't you going to take a look at your new villa? I made some adjustments within my means."
Just as Ruan Xianxian was settling in for Mo Hou, she hadn't really had a chance to properly look around her new home before she discovered that buying a villa came with a fully furnished interior?
"I used a bug to make this for Xianxian, do you like it?" The little boy's voice was shy.
Given His profit-driven premise, the idea of buying a villa and getting free renovations is simply impossible. But Xianxian listened to His advice and bought a villa that combined multiple elements.
And so, He got stuck on a bug.
Upon hearing Tongtong's explanation, Ruan Xianxian praised her male mother-in-law again and again, until Tongtong's whole body turned pink with a "poof".
He even stutters a little when he speaks.
"Quick, quick, go to the kitchen! I'm stuck too!"
The first floor of the villa is decorated in a style that combines simplicity and luxury, with green walls, gray-white floor tiles, and a beige teddy bear sofa that looks very soft.
The minimalist chandelier is both elegant and sophisticated without appearing heavy or outdated.
It can be said that every single design element is in Ruan Xianxian's heart.
Aside from your eye for choosing skin types, you can always trust everything else.
The system couldn't wait to enter the kitchen.
"Alex, make two vanilla ice creams."
As soon as the words were spoken, a pair of robotic arms extended from the smooth kitchen wall, deftly opening the refrigerator and retrieving ingredients.
The sudden visual shock startled Ruan Xianxian, the country bumpkin, so much that she fell to the ground with a thud.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to curse my mother or the system first...
