Lu Wanqing walked into the courtyard and sat down on a stool at a table in the garden.
It wasn't just Xiao Yi; after building this new small home, her sense of belonging had also strengthened considerably.
The houses and buildings of the interstellar era were vastly different from those of ancient Earth. When she walked outside, although she had tried her best to adapt, and sometimes it seemed like she had, a part of her heart always felt empty, as if something was missing.
After this small courtyard was built, she felt a sense of returning to over three thousand years ago, which was very comforting.
Xiao Yi came out carrying a bamboo tube. He happily ran to the chicks, reached into the tube with his small hands, grabbed a handful of millet, and then carefully sprinkled it on the ground. The chicks, small, yellow, and round, immediately ran over, lowered their heads, and happily pecked at the millet.
Xiao Zhong Li Yi, holding the bamboo tube, stood to the side and watched for a moment before quickly turning to run back into the house.
When Xiao Zhong Li Yi came out again, he was carrying a blue feeding bucket filled with duckling food. The little one placed the food bucket on the open ground beside the pond and then looked up at the ducklings swimming in the pond.
The ducklings, which had just hatched not long ago, were also small, yellow, and very cute. They floated on the water's surface, looking very endearing.
Xiao Zhong Li Yi watched the ducklings swimming in the pond and began to imitate their quacks, "Didi didi~ Didi didi~"
The ducklings, hearing their little owner's voice, quickly turned their heads. Some even tilted their heads, looking at their little owner with confusion. But soon, some ducklings spotted the feeding bucket beside their little owner. Food!
The yellow ducklings immediately scurried, flapping their wings, and swam over from the pond. They came ashore and headed straight for the feeding bucket, lowering their heads and happily eating their feed.
Xiao Zhong Li Yi's eyes and the corners of his mouth were filled with happy smiles. He squatted down, reached out his hand, and carefully petted each duckling's head. They were fluffy and soft, very pleasant to touch.
There was also a small puppy. Since entering the house, it had been running around Xiao Yi's feet, occasionally sticking its rear end up and opening its small mouth to playfully bite Xiao Yi's pants.
Xiao Zhong Li Yi also reached out and ruffled the puppy's fluffy head. The puppy immediately raised its head, its fluffy little head pressing against Xiao Yi's palm, its tail wagging rapidly behind it. It was very happy.
Xiao Zhong Li Yi was also happy. He petted the puppy, his eyes full of joyful smiles.
"Dun Dun is so good~" Xiao Zhong Li Yi praised happily as he petted the puppy.
"Come on, Dun Dun, let's go inside to eat," Xiao Yi said happily. Then he stood up and led the puppy towards the house.
Inside, there was special puppy food. Xiao Yi opened the cabinet, took out the dog food, and then went to the dog's food bowl to pour the food in.
The dry food was all poured. The only thing left was water. Xiao Yi didn't mind the trouble and immediately took the water dispenser to get water. The chicks' water dispenser was different from the puppy's drinking water bucket. He made two trips, first carrying a bucket for the chicks, and then refilling the water bucket for the puppy inside the house.
While Xiao Yi was busy taking care of the little animals, Lu Wanqing sat for a while and then went to the backyard. She took out the water pump specifically for watering flowers. She placed the pump in the pond and pressed the switch to draw water to irrigate the flowers.
Lu Wanqing held the watering can and walked around the yard, watering all the flowers and plants.
The small animals were fed.
The flowers and plants were watered.
The water in the pond had been pumped out. The system refreshed, and a new pool of clear, clean water appeared.
There were also two swings in the yard. Lu Wanqing lay down on the larger swing chair, looked up at the blue sky above, and comfortably closed her eyes to rest.
Xiao Zhong Li Yi also sat on the smaller swing next to her, entertaining himself and happily swinging.
After playing on the swing for a while, Xiao Zhong Li Yi, like his mommy, lay down on the small swing and looked up at the blue sky, very happy.
"Xiao Yi, Mommy's mecha is ready. We're going for testing tomorrow. Do you want to come and see?" Lu Wanqing had been lying down for a long time. Finally, she opened her eyes, turned to look at Xiao Yi on the swing beside her, and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhong Li Yi's eyes lit up. He immediately sat up from the swing chair and looked at Lu Wanqing with surprise, "Really?"
Lu Wanqing smiled, "Yes."
"I want to go!" The next moment, Xiao Zhong Li Yi said excitedly.
Lu Wanqing was in a good mood and agreed with a smile, "Okay."
The mother and son rested on the swings for a while. Then Lu Wanqing took her son out to explore. The current barren planet was different from before. After the homestead system went online, many places had houses built. When they went out from home, they could meet many netizens and houses built by other netizens.
However, not all parts of the barren planet had become homesteads. To avoid affecting everyone's experience, many areas on the barren planet were not allowed to have houses built. For example, the woods Lu Wanqing had visited before, where she built her bamboo house and fished, was the most popular area on the entire barren planet because Lu Wanqing had lived there. That area had remained in its original state.
Besides those few places, many other areas on the barren planet also maintained their original state, allowing everyone to explore freely in the forests.
Xiao Yi's favorite was archery. After practicing for a month, his accuracy had improved considerably. He could occasionally shoot down a bird, making the child very happy.
Lu Wanqing played with her son for a while and then logged off when it was time.
After exiting the star net pod, Lu Wanqing took Xiao Yi downstairs. Zhong Li Feiyu would be back around now, and it was time for dinner.
Song Yan had not left. During this past month, she seemed to be oblivious to the Zhong Li family's rejections. Relying on the fact that the former First Lady had saved Zhong Li Feiyu's life, Zhong Li Feiyu found it difficult to ask her to leave, so she had been living at the Zhong Li residence. Every day, she tried to impress Zhong Li Feiyu, or rather, to find ways to take care of Zhong Li Feiyu. Unfortunately, Zhong Li Feiyu never needed anyone's care. Her solicitous efforts almost always began with great effort and ended in failure.
After dinner, as everyone sat down to rest, Lu Wanqing mentioned her plan to take Xiao Yi to test the mecha at Mu Corporation tomorrow.
Zhong Li Feiyu was surprised and then happy, "It's done so quickly?"
Lu Wanqing was also happy, "Yes."
She even opened her spatial ring and took out the mecha shaped like a giant panda.
As soon as the panda mecha appeared, both Zhong Li Feiyu and Xiao Zhong Li Yi stared at it, their eyes bright with anticipation.
"Its grade has already been tested. This panda is also a super S-class mecha!" Lu Wanqing said, then turned to look at Xiao Zhong Li Yi, very happy.
"Super S-class mecha?" Zhong Li Feiyu was shocked.
Lu Wanqing nodded, "Yes."
They chatted happily, and even Butler Xiao came over, curiously circling the giant panda.
Song Yan stood by, watching them and the panda mecha, her expression turning very unpleasant.
Impossible.
How could Lu Wanqing possibly build a super S-class mecha?
Did she think a super S-class mecha was some kind of trash robot on the street, something that could be built so easily?
