The next morning, Xu Jianguo woke up from his sleep, put on his clothes quietly, covered Funiu with a quilt, and went to the main room to prepare breakfast.
Today's breakfast is simple, rice porridge, meat buns and salted duck eggs.
After Funiu woke up, Xu Jianguo went into the house to dress her, then took her to wash her face and brush her teeth. After everything was tidied, the two sat on the kang and ate breakfast.
After dinner, Xu Jianguo said, "Funiu, your sweet sister and Grandpa Dashan are coming to our house for the New Year in a few days, but we only have one stove. If they don't have a stove, they'll be very cold at night and prone to getting sick. So I have to go to the county to buy another stove today. Why don't you go to Uncle Mancang's house and play with your brother Shitou later?"
"Okay, haha, when will you come back?" Funiu thought for a while and asked.
"I will go back immediately after buying things and will be back soon!" said Xu Jianguo.
"Okay then, haha, you have to come back soon!" said Funiu.
"Okay, I promise to go and come back quickly."
After cleaning up the dishes, Xu Jianguo put some cold cream on the little girl's face, then carried her towards Li Mancang's house.
When he arrived at Li Mancang's house, Xu Jianguo pushed open the gate and walked in. Li Xin was brushing his teeth in the yard.
"Brother Jinzi, good morning! Is Uncle Mancang at home?" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Brother Jinzi, good morning!" Funiu also greeted him.
"Good morning, Funiu! Jianguo, my father is at home. He must have gone to the backyard. Wait a moment, I'll go call him for you!" Li Xin said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mancang led Xiao Shitou out of the house. Seeing Xu Jianguo, he smiled and said, "Jianguo, are you looking for me?"
"Well, uncle, I'm going to the county to buy a stove today, and I want you to help me look after Fu Niu."
"Buy a stove? Don't you have a stove at home?" Li Mancang asked.
"Yes, there is one, but it's not enough!" Xu Jianguo said. After thinking about it, he told Li Mancang that Li Dashan was going to his house to celebrate the New Year and that Wen Sitian was also coming.
"Jianguo, are you saying that you want to bring this girl named Wen Sitian to your home to celebrate the New Year?" Li Mancang asked with a frown.
As soon as Xu Jianguo saw his expression, he knew that he must have misunderstood, so he told him about Wen Sitian's family situation and the fact that they had secretly decided to spend their lives together.
"Oh, this girl is also a miserable person! Since you have made up your mind, your uncle will definitely support you! When the time comes, your aunt and I will go there and help you check it." Li Mancang said with a smile, and his frown relaxed.
The two chatted for a while, Xu Jianguo gave Funiu some instructions, and then left Li Mancang's house.
After returning to his home, Xu Jianguo flashed into the space and then came to the yard, where he found that the two space servants he summoned last night were still standing there.
Xu Jianguo ignored them and went straight to the Seven Star Teleportation Array. He stepped onto the Yuheng star position, and with a thought, he appeared in the deserted courtyard.
After climbing over the wall and leaving the yard, Xu Jianguo went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. Near the supply and marketing cooperative, there was a state-owned store that specialized in making various iron tools. Items like iron pots and stoves could all be bought here.
When Xu Jianguo entered the store, he saw an old man hammering something. When he saw someone coming in, he quickly put down his hammer and asked, "Young man, what do you want to order?"
"Uncle, I want to buy a coal stove for my home. Do you have one ready?"
"Young man, you're lucky! I actually have one ready-made. Someone ordered it before, but it's been sitting here for a month and no one's come to pick it up. I'll sell it to you!"
"That's great, thank you, sir!" Xu Jianguo paid the money, carried the stove on his shoulder, and left the store holding the chimney made of iron sheets in his hand.
After leaving the store, Xu Jianguo did not go back, but walked towards Wen Sitian's house.
When he arrived at Wen Sitian's house, Xu Jianguo put down the stove and chimney, then took out some white flour from the space, found a ceramic basin and started to make paste.
After the paste was ready, he took out two couplets and a few blessing characters from the space and started posting them.
After finishing everything, Xu Jianguo put the stove and chimney into the space, then locked the door from the outside, left Wen Sitian's house, and then found a deserted place and slipped into the space.
Without rushing home, Xu Jianguo stood before the two spatial servants and muttered to himself, "System, can I set the appearance and gender of the servants just by meditating in my mind?"
Ding, yes!
Xu Jianguo thought about it and immediately had an idea. He decided to set the appearance of the two servants to be his previous life’s butler Fu Bo and secretary Du Yu respectively. This way, he would feel more comfortable having two familiar faces around him.
With a thought, the appearance of one of the servants began to change. Threads of flesh and blood gradually appeared on the servant's surface, filling up the body bit by bit.
After a while, Fu Bo's body was shaped. From the outside, Fu Bo looked like a middle-aged man in his 50s, exactly the same as Xu Jianguo's butler in his previous life. The only difference was that he was naked all over now, which looked really eye-catching.
Xu Jianguo had no choice but to return home through the Seven Star Teleportation Array, then found the clothes his father used to wear. After thinking about it, he took out a set of his mother's clothes and prepared to keep them for Du Yu to wear later.
Back in the space, Xu Jianguo came to Fu Bo and put his father's clothes on him, then said: "From today on, your name is Fu Chunming, I will call you Fu Bo, and you call me... Young Master!"
"Okay, young master!" Fu Bo spoke, his voice was not stiff at all, just like a real person.
"Your task is to manage everyone in the space, including the planting and breeding work."
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Jianguo nodded without saying anything else, but began to assign the second servant. A woman who looked exactly like his secretary Du Yu in his previous life stood naked in front of him.
Xu Jianguo felt hot all over and his throat was a little dry. He swallowed several times unconsciously and hurriedly handed her the clothes he had prepared in advance and asked her to put them on herself.
"Your name is Du Yu, and I will also call you Xiao Yu. You can call me Young Master just like Uncle Fu. Your future job will mainly be to take care of the three meals a day for me and a little girl. The rest of the matters will be arranged by Uncle Fu!"
"Okay, young master!" Du Yu answered in a clear and pleasant voice.
Then Xu Jianguo took the two of them to meet with Gu Mingqi and others, and told them that all matters would be under the management of Fu Bo from now on.
After finishing all the work, Xu Jianguo turned around to leave, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Gu Mingqi.
Xu Jianguo turned around, looked at him expressionlessly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Brother Xu, I want to ask when we can leave here?" Gu Mingqi asked nervously.
"Leave? It depends on your performance!" After Xu Jianguo said this, he turned around and left without waiting for Gu Mingqi to speak.
