Chapter 0 Extra 1: Space
"Sister Xia, the old sows at Farm No. 2 gave birth to 12 piglets today. Together with the 10 piglets born at Farm No. 1 yesterday, a total of 22 piglets were born this month."
"In two months, when these piglets grow up, we won't have room to feed them. Should we expand the farm?"
Zhang Can's voice came from the other end of the phone. Xia Xiaoman petted the little wolf cub who had just turned one month old and replied, "No, there are too many farms open and we are too busy to handle it."
"Look, if you really can't raise so many piglets, you can fatten them up and make them into roast suckling pigs and sell them."
Two years after the establishment of Water World, Xia Xiaoman's farm expanded twice, adding two more farms. She thought it was too tiring to manage the farm, and remembered that Zhang Can was still working as a civil servant in the government. After asking for his opinion, she poached Zhang Can.
Zhang Can had worked in the government for a while and her management skills had improved a lot. Since Zhang Can helped her manage the farm, she didn't have to worry about the farm at all.
"Awoo~Awoo~" The little wolf cub in Xia Xiaoman's arms felt uncomfortable from being stroked, and tried to break free from Xia Xiaoman's hand. Maodan heard his son's cry, and came over happily and took the little wolf cub away.
Xia Xiaoman curled her lips, "This isn't the first litter of wolf cubs. They've already had three litters, and you're still so nervous."
"Ah, ah, ah!" You don't have any children, so how can you understand the heart of an old father? Maodan retorted, lowered his head and used his tongue to bathe the wolf cub.
Suddenly, the entire water world trembled slightly. Xia Xiaoman squatted down calmly, waited for the trembling to stop, and stood up as usual to get some water to drink.
This kind of tremor was very frequent during the year. It happened almost once every month. Every time the water world trembled, it was because the authorities sent people to adjust the pillars at the bottom of the water world.
Last year, Yongzhou had good weather and the water level basically did not drop.
This year, the daytime was long and the ultraviolet rays were weaker than last year, but there was no rain, which caused the water level to slowly drop. Therefore, the height of the pillars of the Water World had to be adjusted every once in a while. Otherwise, the Water World would be too high from the water surface and without buoyancy support, and the pillars might collapse.
“Knock, knock, knock!” There was a knock on the door, followed by Xiao Zheyu’s voice coming from outside, “Sister Xiaoman, are you home?”
Xia Xiaoman walked over and opened the door. "When did you come back? Where are Sister Yu'e and the others?"
Xiao Zheyu walked to the sofa familiarly, pushed away Maodan who was sitting on the sofa licking the little wolf cub, picked up the kettle and filled a large glass of water before saying, "Sister Yu'e and the others went home before me. I can only leave after I unload the supplies in the space."
After saying that, he looked at Xia Xiaoman and said, "Sister Xiaoman, are you still hiring? How about I quit my job and come over to help you?"
Xia Xiaoman asked: "Why do you suddenly want to resign?"
Xiao Zheyu sighed, "Why else? It's because of the space law enforcement department! Those people, they use chicken feathers as a token of authority, and ask us to write reports every now and then, explaining the reasons for using the space recently, the feelings of using the space, and the process of using the space. It's so annoying."
When he first got the space, he was very excited and wanted to learn from Xia Xiaoman and kill the enemy with rocks falling from the sky. But after a long time, this space didn't have much use for him. It was just a mobile warehouse, and a mobile warehouse that was under constant supervision.
There was no chance to use the falling rocks and telekinesis. Even if I used it once, I would have to write a 5,000-word report to explain to the space law enforcement department why I used space energy.
Xiao Zheyu became more and more angry as he spoke. "I don't understand. In the past two years, the capital has produced hundreds of space jades. Space is not a rare commodity. Why are the law enforcement departments still supervising it so strictly?"
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "It is because the space is getting bigger and bigger that strict supervision is needed. If space energy can be used casually, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Xiao Zheyu curled his lips and said, "I can't stand being supervised like this. I have already sent my resignation letter. I will resign immediately after Lu Lanshan approves it."
"If you resign, who will take over your job?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Xiao Zheyu said, "Sister Yu'e will take over my job. Sister Xiaoman, if you have no objection, I will hand over the Jade Buddha Space to her and let her continue to help the government deliver goods."
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "The Jade Buddha Space is given to you, so it's yours. How you want to use it is up to you. You don't need to ask for my opinion."
Xiao Zheyu smiled and said, "You can't say that. The Jade Buddha Space originally belonged to you. If I want to give the space to someone else, I must ask you first. But since you have no objection, I will give the Jade Buddha Space to Sister Yu'e."
Xia Xiaoman nodded, and just as she was about to speak, her cell phone rang. She took out her cell phone and turned it on, and found that it was Jiang Yue's call. She clicked the connection, and Jiang Yue's voice immediately came from the phone, "Xia Xiaoman, have you seen Wen Xu? That guy escaped from prison again."
"Another jailbreak?!" Xia Xiaoman rolled her eyes speechlessly, "What's wrong with your prison? You can't even lock up a person."
Jiang Yue's voice was somewhat helpless. "That kid is very clever, and he used all his intelligence in unorthodox ways. For most of the past six months, he pretended to be very honest to deceive the guard's trust. He found an opportunity to get close to the guard, knocked him out and escaped. Now I don't know where he has gone."
Xia Xiaoman: “…”
"I didn't see Wen Xu. I'll ask Sister Yu'e later and they'll respond to you."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheyu asked, "Did Wen Xu escape from prison again?"
Xia Xiaoman nodded helplessly, "Why is he so depressed? Isn't it better for him to stay in prison and serve his sentence honestly? Every time he escapes from prison, his sentence will be increased. If he is caught this time, he will probably not be able to get out for another 30 or 40 years."
Xiao Zheyu smiled and said, "Young man, do things without considering the consequences. If he could give in so easily, he would not be Wen Xu."
Xia Xiaoman sighed and called Li Yu'e. Li Yu'e was also very helpless when she learned that Wen Xu had escaped from prison again, but she had never met Wen Xu.
"Let me ask Lingxu to help the others and see if they have seen Wenxu."
Xia Xiaoman said, "Okay, when we catch Wen Xu this time, let Wen Ling go and persuade him. They are siblings, so maybe Wen Xu will listen to what Wen Ling says."
