"It seems the farmland near our house hasn't been harvested yet! I wonder when the authorities will arrange for the crops to be harvested! Otherwise, it will be troublesome if a fire breaks out!" The old man looked out the window with worry.
However, the crops in the yard are still growing very well, the groundwater is plentiful, and most of the crops in Lu Yuan's yard are brought out from his space, so he is very good at saving water.
Lu Yuan's crystal had only flashed once recently, and he found it in his backyard. However, when he dug up the soil, he found a black crystal, which was still not the white crystal that Lu Yuan wanted.
Now his land has 100 square meters of various plots. In order to ensure the diversity of food for his family, Lu Yuan has also specially planted some mushrooms and other fungi, such as morel mushrooms, bamboo fungus, and matsutake mushrooms. Because they do not take up much space and grow quickly, Lu Yuan can harvest a lot every day and store them in the small house.
On this day, Lu Yuan entered the dimensional space to pick mushrooms, when he suddenly saw that the fruits on the small green seedlings in front of the small house were getting brighter and brighter.
"Great! This fruit is finally ripe! We can't let Big Yellow ruin it!" After saying that, he gently picked the fruit.
However, looking at the small fruit in his hand, about the size of a mangosteen, Lu Yuan hesitated for a long time, unsure of who to give it to first.
Grandma has heart disease, Grandpa has asthma, Mom has a bad back, Dad has rheumatism, and there's also Xiaoshan, but there's only one fruit in his hand, so Lu Yuan is a bit conflicted.
If... it's cut into five pieces and each person eats one piece...
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan took out a fruit knife from the small house and cut the fruit into five pieces.
Excitedly, he returned to his room with the fruit.
"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, have some fruit!" Lu Yuan put the fruit on a plate and brought it to the living room.
The four people stared blankly at the four pieces of fruit held together with toothpicks on the tray.
"Xiao Yuan, we have plenty of fruit at home, so please eat this little bit!" Grandma pushed the tray in front of her, showing how much the elderly love their grandchildren.
The old man shook his head and said, "That's right, Xiao Yuan, you should eat it yourself! We're too old to taste anything!"
My dad and mom are the same.
Lu Yuan was frustrated. He had finally managed to show his respect to them, but they wouldn't even give him a chance.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan personally took the tray and fed them one by one, finally distributing the fruit.
However, he felt quite embarrassed. At over twenty years old, he still had to resort to coquetry, which made this tough and resolute man feel a little ashamed.
Watching the four finish eating, Lu Yuan stared wide-eyed at their expressions, but he was disappointed.
"Um...don't you guys have anything to say?" Lu Yuan raised his hand to indicate if they felt unwell or had a burning sensation in their internal organs like he did.
"Good lad, I've been waiting here! Alright! Thanks!" Dad put down the computer and shook his head.
Lu Yuan was somewhat taken aback. Is this what I wanted?
"No, no, no, Dad! Don't you feel any discomfort in your stomach?" Lu Yuan reminded him again.
"Not feeling well? You brat! Did you drug us?!" The old man seemed to realize something, and suddenly stood up, about to pull out his belt to give Lu Yuan a parenting lesson.
Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand to indicate that it wasn't like that. Under the threat from his grandparents and mother, his father finally let go.
Unable to obtain what he desired from his family, Lu Yuan could only sigh and head to Xiao Shan's house with the golden fruit.
It was 6:30 in the morning, not yet time for work, so when Lu Yuan knocked on the door, he saw Xiao Shan brushing her teeth and washing her face.
The mother-in-law welcomed Lu Yuan in with a smile on her face.
"Auntie, the fruit trees at home have produced some fruit, so I'm bringing some over for you!" she said, handing over two bags of various kinds of fruit.
"Oh dear! You child, we can't eat all the food you bring every day. Don't always bring things when you come, it's enough that you come!"
After saying that, she brought him water and turned on the air conditioner.
Lu Yuan then realized that his mother-in-law had just turned on the air conditioner when he arrived; the house had been warm before.
"Auntie, why don't you turn on the air conditioner in this heat?" Lu Yuan was a little confused as to why Xiao Shan's family, which was relatively well-off, was so frugal. It was too hot to be saving money.
Xiao Shan sighed and walked over, saying, "Sigh! Don't even mention it. They said the electricity consumption is too high, so they've started rationing electricity. Each household only gets 300 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month, and that's it. Now the air conditioners are running 24 hours a day, so 300 kilowatt-hours is simply not enough."
Lu Yuan frowned and asked, "When did this happen? I've never heard of it before?"
The mother-in-law said helplessly, "We live in an old neighborhood. This house was bought by Xiaoshan's father through a quota he got from the factory. Now this is an old town, and all the electrical circuits are aging. For electrical safety, there are power restrictions. A while ago, Teacher Chen's house caught fire because of the aging electrical circuits. It burned down three houses in a row!"
Speaking of these things, the mother-in-law sighed and felt a little scared.
Lu Yuan nodded silently, wondering if he could also help Xiao Shan's family solve this problem.
Their building doesn't have a rooftop, so there's no way to install solar panels. Moreover, the electrical circuits between each household are extremely complex, a veritable tangled mess. In addition, all the circuits are interconnected, so if one household trips the circuit breaker, the entire building trips.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan frowned with worry. As if sensing his thoughts, Xiao Shan put down her toothbrush and came over, saying, "Lu Yuan, don't worry about our family, everything's fine!"
Actually, Lu Yuan had an idea to let them move in as well. Anyway, the house is big enough, so it wouldn't matter if there were three more people.
However, he couldn't say that. Firstly, he and Xiaoshan weren't married yet. If he brought up the idea of living together, his mother-in-law might not object, but his father-in-law would definitely think he had ulterior motives, and he wouldn't get any credit for it.
Secondly, Xiaoshan has a very strong sense of self-respect. If he asked her and her whole family to move in, she would not only feel embarrassed, but her father-in-law would definitely not agree.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had no choice but to make further plans.
Then he quietly led Xiaoshan into the car and took out a golden fruit from the armrest and handed it to Xiaoshan.
"What is this?" Xiao Shan asked curiously, looking at the fruit that looked like orange segments wrapped in a plastic box.
"Don't ask, it's good stuff! Eat it first!"
"Oh!" After saying that, Xiaoshan swallowed the fruit without any hesitation.
Lu Yuan was so moved he almost cried. What a good wife! She didn't even ask if the thing was poisonous or anything before eating it. He didn't want to say anything more, afraid that people would have something to hide.
