Lu Wanqing hadn't expected that simply agreeing to let the siblings cook would make them so happy.
Lu Wanqing naturally wouldn't let them cook alone. Seeing that it was indeed almost mealtime, she decided to join the siblings in the kitchen and prepare lunch.
Although she planned to stir-fry the dishes herself, it was still convenient to have the housekeeping robot help with the ingredients. For any special preparation methods that the robot couldn't handle, she would lend a hand.
Cuicui and Shushu were in the kitchen, along with Lanlan, Xiaoyi, and even Harvey. All five children squeezed into the kitchen, making the small space a bit crowded.
But the joy of the whole family being together was even stronger.
While cooking, Ji Xing eagerly wanted to show off to Lu Wanqing, so Lu Wanqing didn't stop him, watching from the side.
She had initially worried they wouldn't control the heat well, but Lu Wanqing was soon surprised, as Ji Xing had excellent control over the heat, no less than hers.
After Ji Xing finished, Harvey tasted a bite beforehand, and the child's eyes lit up, finding it delicious!
Confirming that the siblings had good cooking skills, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but praise them highly.
Hearing Lu Wanqing's praise, Ji Xing and Ji Hai felt a little shy, but at the same time, their happiness was immense.
This lunch was almost entirely made by Ji Xing and Ji Hai. When the fragrant dishes were served, no one felt anything was amiss; they all found the aroma delightful.
During the meal, Lu Wanqing didn't forget to serve some dishes to the siblings. The siblings' appearance was unexpected for Lu Wanqing, but she felt fortunate to meet such simple and grateful people in the interstellar era.
After eating their fill, it was time for a nap.
The Ji Xing siblings felt embarrassed to disturb them further and, after sitting for a while, they voluntarily asked to leave. Before they left, they added Lu Wanqing as a friend on their neural interface and invited Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang to visit their home with the children.
Lu Wanqing smiled and agreed, and the siblings then left happily.
In the courtyard, rooms had been prepared for each child, and now they could all return to their respective rooms to rest.
The only ones who were a bit difficult to arrange for were Eldest Brother and Second Brother. When she bought this planet and built houses on Shuilu Star, she hadn't expected Eldest Brother and Second Brother to be alive, so there were no dedicated rooms for them here.
Fortunately, there was still a guest room, so Eldest Brother and Second Brother could make do for now, though it was a bit of a compromise for them.
"There's still plenty of land on Shuilu Star. In the coming days, Eldest Brother and Second Brother can explore around Shuilu Star. If you find any place you like, just tell me, and I'll transfer that land to you directly. You can then build the houses you want," Lu Wanqing said with a smile, looking at her Eldest Brother and Second Brother after arranging the accommodation.
Lu Ming looked at Lu Wanqing, his deep eyes filled with doting affection. He nodded, "Mm."
Lu Ze was also happy. He stroked his chin with a proud expression, "I never imagined that one day we'd be living off our little sister's success. But I'm happy eating this meal, hahahaha."
"Who could blame us when our little sister is so outstanding? Hahahaha!"
Lu Ze said, laughing heartily, appearing very pleased.
Although Lu Ming was speechless, he agreed with his brother's sentiment. Qingqing was their pride.
"Alright, everyone, stop talking and go back to rest. Sufficient sleep is the foundation of health," Lu Ming said quickly.
This suggestion was met with everyone's agreement, and they all headed to their respective rooms to rest.
Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang took Little Bao back to their room. In her previous life, Little Bao had already slept in a separate bed from her parents. On Shuilu Star, she wouldn't sleep in her parents' room either, but now that she had returned to being a baby, she could sleep with her parents again, which made Little Bao very happy.
Lu Wanqing placed Little Bao on the bed and met the child's bright, clearly happy eyes. She found it amusing and couldn't help but say to Lu Yang, "Third Brother, Weiwei seems very happy."
Lu Yang also looked down at the little one. The child was small, her eyes were curved, and her mouth was turned up in a sweet smile, like a flower. But... it was still a bit of an eyesore.
This was supposed to be their private time for him and Qingqing, where they could do many intimate things only couples could do. But with this little one, it was all ruined.
Little Bao, who was feeling joyful, suddenly sensed something was wrong. Her sixth sense prompted her to look up at her father.
Lu Yang adjusted his expression in a second, placed his hand on Little Bao's head, and said, "Go to sleep."
With this little one around, doing anything else was impossible. So his only request now was that this little one not fuss, sleep soundly, and not disturb Qingqing's rest.
Little Bao was still young and didn't understand her father's ulterior motives. Hearing her father say it was time to sleep, she happily nodded.
Little Bao, being small, proactively crawled into the soft bedding, pulled up the blanket, and covered her tiny self.
Lu Yang looked at Little Bao's cleverness and felt a sense of emotion. He could guarantee that children in the ancient Earth era were rarely this smart. Children cultivated by high-tech in the interstellar era were indeed different.
Lu Wanqing quickly got into bed, followed by Lu Yang.
Lu Wanqing slept very well, feeling unprecedented peace. Especially when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Little Bao, and the second was Third Brother. This filled her heart with warmth, the feeling of home.
After sufficient rest, their spirits were also revived.
In the afternoon, Wei Xingzhou prepared fishing rods and hooks for everyone. He excitedly said, "Let's go fishing together! I'm telling you, Cuicui caught a fish here last time, and it was Cuicui who caught it herself, super impressive!"
Wei Xingzhou felt even prouder that Cuicui caught a fish than if he had caught one himself. Even though several years had passed, he couldn't help but brag.
Mentioning this brought back memories of what Wei Xingzhou had done here back then. Looking at Cuicui, Lu Wanqing even felt a bit envious that Cuicui had a father like Wei Xingzhou.
Xavier also naturally enjoyed fishing, as did Zhongli Feiyu. The corners of the mouths of the men present all curved up in a smile.
"Okay, let's go fishing this afternoon. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the forest to dig for wild vegetables. Let's all relax and forget about everything for these few days," Lu Wanqing said happily.
Since Lu Wanqing had agreed, the children naturally had no objections, and neither did the other adults. Everyone unanimously agreed.
So, a few minutes later, a large group of them, each with a fishing rod and bait, happily walked towards the riverbank.
Even Little Bao, held in her father's arms, had sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.
However, what no one expected was that while they were happily fishing, Ouyang Jian suddenly rushed over, reporting that Ouyang Yun Duo was missing.
