Wen Muxue said, "We've all eaten. We thought you ate at the educated youth settlement, so we didn't wait for you. There's still some leftovers. Go to the kitchen and heat them up yourself."
Mo Lijuan hesitated, "Cousin, I don't know how to start a fire."
Helpless, Lu Yuan had no choice but to pull his wife to the kitchen to help start the fire.
When Mo Lijuan saw Lu Yuan enter the kitchen with Wen Moxue still by his side, her eyes flickered.
The dishes I made today were all eaten, except for a big bowl of potato and lard rice. Mo Lijuan didn't complain at all, and thanked me with a smile, saying it was delicious.
It was really delicious. She hadn't even eaten lunch today and was starving.
"Cousin and brother-in-law, thank you for taking care of me. I called my parents today and told them about the lost money. My dad will send the money tomorrow, and I will return it to you when I receive it."
"Hmm." Wen Moxue gave a faint "hmm." It wasn't certain whether the money was really lost, and they wouldn't say they didn't want it.
Mo Lijuan continued, "I also told the brigade leader that I would borrow some grain from the brigade. I will go and get it back for you tomorrow, as it will be the rations I have been sharing with you these days."
Lu Yuan remained noncommittal, while Wen Moxue stared at her with a half-smile.
The grain borrowed by the brigade? What was there? Just a dozen or so kilograms of coarse grains and a dozen or so kilograms of sweet potatoes.
And what kind of food do they eat at home? They eat meat at every meal, and there's plenty of white rice.
She wanted to use the grain borrowed from the brigade to offset her food expenses; you could only say she was really good at scheming.
However, the two of them had long since given up on asking her for extra food, so they didn't bother arguing with her about it. If she hadn't pulled this stunt herself, they wouldn't have asked her anything.
Mo Lijuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did. The food was indeed good, but she had also borrowed a lot of food rations.
She can only stay here for a month or two at most. If she's alone, she won't be able to finish all the food she borrowed.
The good food also helped offset the extra food rations.
Therefore, she felt neither guilty nor embarrassed when faced with Wen Moxue's mocking gaze.
They continued chatting as if nothing had happened.
"Cousin, brother-in-law, your godparents aren't from the commune. Are they really Xiao Zhiqing's aunt and uncle?"
Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed suddenly. "How did you know?"
It wasn't a secret in the commune that the godparents weren't from the commune, but very few people in their village knew that.
Most importantly, they only found out that they were Xiao Fan's aunt and uncle during a meal. How did she find out?
Mo Lijuan was taken aback, realizing she had spoken out of turn, and immediately tried to make amends, "I just heard Xiao Zhiqing calling them aunt and uncle in the yard."
Lu Yuan frowned. Ever since she entered the hospital, it seemed that she was the one who greeted everyone, and the others would respond. Xiao Fan, with his cold personality, didn't even give her a glance.
He was certain that Xiao Fan hadn't called out "aunt" or "uncle" at that time.
So, she's lying!
Why did she lie?
And... how did she find out about this?
Unaware of Lu Yuan's doubts, Mo Lijuan continued,
"Brother-in-law, speaking of which, you and Aunt Xiao really do look quite alike. Anyone who didn't know better would definitely think you were mother and son! Do you think you could really be Aunt Xiao's son?"
Lu Yuan found her strange and ignored her, then pulled his wife out of the kitchen.
Mo Lijuan watched the two figures as they walked away, her expression inscrutable.
The two sat in the courtyard for a while. As it got dark, Old Man Liu and Gao Weishan and his wife went to rest. Mo Lijuan also seemed to have gone back to her room to sleep. Only then did Lu Yuan take Xiao Fan and the other person back to the Lu family home.
After sending the person back to the Lu family, Lu Yuan didn't linger. He took the money and went straight home.
When he got home, Wen Moxue was still waiting for him, looking at him with affection.
"How much money did you make today?"
Lu Yuan told the truth, "Yu Shaoheng only gave me ten yuan, and the remaining 128 yuan was on credit."
The little girl chuckled.
"Yu Zhiqing seems very innocent!"
Lu Yuan nodded, "He's the only son in the family, we've been overprotecting him."
Then she explained the situation of the Yu family.
Wen Moxue was very surprised and excited that God had sent them a powerful ally.
Lu Yuan said, "Wife, next time let's get him some rare items that we can't get in Beijing. That kid is willing to spend money."
The two said they were trying to curry favor with the powerful, which meant they wanted to get something out of the other party, without any other intentions.
The night was long, and the young couple went into their online space again.
The growth rate of the land in this space is truly astonishing; the herbs planted earlier have already grown considerably taller.
Lu Yuan initially planted only one or two of each herb in his space. When they grew a little bigger, he would break off a branch and replant it in the soil, and they would actually survive.
The young couple realized that nothing could not grow in this space.
The dendrobium plant has grown from just one to five or six plants now, and there are also small patches of schisandra and astragalus. Lu Yuan wonders how much the harvest will be next year.
That evening, Lu Yuan harvested the ripe potatoes and sweet potatoes and planted soybeans and rapeseed. These two crops can be pressed for oil later, so he can plant more of them.
Looking at the fruit section, Wen Moxue was most satisfied with this place. After she ate the fruit she bought from the supermarket, she threw the pits on the ground, and they all grew into fruit seedlings and even bore fruit.
Fruits with short growing seasons, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberry, blueberry, and grape, grow in large quantities and are simply too much to eat.
These are not easy to take out; the little girl is happy, but then she gets worried.
"It's alright, the space won't damage it anyway. Just plant it there for decoration, it'll be pleasing to the eye."
The little girl was successfully persuaded and her smile returned.
After tending the land for a while, the young couple went to check on their pets.
Needless to say, there are thousands of pheasants and rabbits. If you mark out an open area, they will basically stay in that area.
Those big guys also have their own territories. They are all very well-behaved in the space and never fight or fight for territory. The relationship between the neighbors is extremely harmonious!
The two tigers were very loving, and their main activity every day was procreation.
The single bear and wolf king were so envious their eyes turned red. They also wanted a companion, and when they saw their two masters, their eyes were full of longing for a partner.
Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched violently as he understood what the two beasts were thinking.
"Forget about romantic thoughts, let's think about how to save our lives."
He will send them away when the time is right.
The two beasts seemed to understand his words and lowered their heads.
Speaking of wild animals with strong reproductive capabilities, wild boars and wild goats are not bad either. Both the female wild boar and the female wild goat were pregnant, and their bellies were frighteningly large.
Using the medical knowledge that Gao Weishan had taught her, Wen Moxue became a veterinarian in the space, performing prenatal checkups on pregnant wild boars and female goats.
"Brother Yuan, there are probably about twenty piglets in this sow's belly."
Lu Yuan took it as a joke.
Wild boars typically have 4 to 12 offspring per litter, and it's considered good if they have around 10, let alone 20.
Only later did he realize that he had underestimated the wonder of space.
