"Does Madam Yu really like those things?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask.
Aunt Zhang's mood clearly improved when she mentioned Madam Yu. She nodded. "Yes."
"The things are cultivated by the Academy of Sciences. Can't Yu Nong bring some back, or can we pick some directly from the cultivation base?" Lu Wanqing added.
Aunt Zhang shook her head upon hearing this. "Ah, Young Master Yu Nong used to bring some back, but Madam didn't seem to like them as much."
"How could that be?" Lu Wanqing feigned confusion and continued, "They are all cultivated by the Academy of Sciences, so they should be the same, right? Is it possible that what An Zhizhi brought back is even better?"
Aunt Zhang nodded. "Yes, Miss An's father is the director of the Academy of Sciences. The fruits and ingredients they send are usually from plants in the ancient Earth plant cultivation room. They are much better than those from outside." To be precise, these fruits and vegetables were things that could not be bought with any amount of money outside.
"Actually, sometimes Young Master Yu Nong also brings some back, but not much. After all, there are too few truly ancient Earth plants."
Is that so? Lu Wanqing was slightly surprised. She had almost thought that there was something wrong with the things An Zhizhi brought.
However, it was not impossible that those things were problematic.
As Lu Wanqing chatted with Aunt Zhang, time slipped by unnoticed, and the wontons were ready.
The pot was heated, water was boiled, and finally, the prepared wontons were put in.
A pot of fragrant wontons was served. Aunt Zhang couldn't help but exclaim, "These little wontons are truly too fragrant. No wonder Madam likes them so much."
Lu Wanqing smiled and said, "You're busy. I'll go upstairs to see if Shushu has woken up."
"Ah, yes, yes." Aunt Zhang quickly agreed.
Lu Wanqing wiped her hands, then turned to leave. However, when she reached the living room, she saw Yu Nong coming downstairs with the child. Her face instantly lit up with a brilliant smile.
Lu Wanqing didn't speak. She stood on the first floor, waiting for Shushu to come down.
Shushu was also happy to see her Mommy.
Madam Yu was also in the living room. Since Yu Nong was bringing Yu Shu down, they should first greet Madam Yu.
If it were before, Lu Wanqing would have followed and greeted Madam Yu as well. However, after yesterday's incident, she no longer wanted to deal with it, not even a perfunctory politeness.
After Yu Nong and Shushu finished greeting, they came over to have breakfast together. Aunt Zhang also went to invite Madam Yu to join them. Madam Yu glared at Lu Wanqing with a cold expression before gracefully walking over.
This breakfast was very silent. Lu Wanqing didn't say anything. Little Shushu, however, was very considerate and took several small wontons for her Mommy, and also for her dad and grandma. The little one didn't miss anyone.
Seeing how sensible her child was, Lu Wanqing sighed inwardly while also feeling more heartache.
Fortunately, breakfast was quickly over. Lu Wanqing and Yu Nong took the child to kindergarten together, then drove away in their hovercar. However, Lu Wanqing did not go to the Academy of Sciences with Yu Nong today. She explained it to Yu Nong, then called her own hovercar and went to see her own house.
She had placed the renovation order last night and wondered how the renovation was going today. She needed to check.
Lu Wanqing chose the house closest to the Yu family's residence. It took her about ten minutes of hovercar travel to get there. From the outside, the house didn't reveal much, but she still had expectations. Getting out of the hovercar, she walked straight inside.
Upon entering, she saw busy robots. There were so many robots.
As Lu Wanqing was watching, a robot suddenly approached her and said in a mechanical voice, "Private residence under construction. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach."
Lu Wanqing's mind suddenly went blank. She quickly said, "I am the owner of this house. Am I not allowed to look either?"
The robot's screen flickered. The next moment, its eyes turned red. It emitted a red light, scanning Lu Wanqing from head to toe like a barcode, and then said, "Confirmed. This person is the owner of the house. You have the right to enter the house. You are welcome to supervise the renovation progress at any time."
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Quite advanced.
Lu Wanqing was amazed by the renovation robots of the interstellar era. So, the robot had blocked her from entering because it hadn't confirmed her identity just now? Now that her identity was confirmed, she could enter and supervise freely?
Lu Wanqing thought to herself and couldn't help but click her tongue. This era's technology was so amazing, so beautiful!
The robot left. As Lu Wanqing followed it inside, she discovered that the robot was wandering around as if it were a supervisor, watching the other robots working inside.
So, not only was human society competitive, but even the robot world in the interstellar era was so competitive?
Lu Wanqing watched for a while, then opened her optical computer and quietly compared it with the order she had placed earlier. Indeed, the robots were meticulous. Almost every detail was exactly the same as in the picture.
Lu Wanqing had initially thought there might be something she needed to help with, but after standing there for a while, she realized there was nothing for her to do. The robots were handling everything perfectly.
It seemed there was no need to rush with the house renovation. Thinking about how Shushu liked to grow plants, Lu Wanqing opened her optical computer and searched for various plants.
Her house wasn't very large, but it had a small courtyard. Perhaps she could plant some plants there. If Shushu moved in, she would probably be happy.
But what kind of plants should she choose?
Many plants came to Lu Wanqing's mind, but they were just fleeting thoughts. She soon remembered the plants that An Zhizhi had destroyed not long ago.
Shushu liked those plants so much, but An Zhizhi destroyed them...
Thinking about this, Lu Wanqing's hands suddenly felt itchy. Those plants should be available online, right? If she bought the exact same ones and planted them in the small courtyard, Shushu would probably like them when she saw them?
Lu Wanqing realized she was impatient. Once she thought of something, she couldn't help but want to do it.
Shushu's glass greenhouse had quite a few plants, but at this moment, Lu Wanqing placed order after order. She was surprised to find that she remembered all of them.
The delivery in the interstellar era was also very fast. Those plants should arrive soon, right?
However, there was a problem. Shushu's plants were all grown in a glass greenhouse. The glass greenhouse wasn't small, but it wasn't very large either. With that limited space, the plants Shushu grew were mostly small potted plants, not very large. If placed in the courtyard, they would only occupy a small corner.
The courtyard still had a lot of space. How should the other areas be arranged?
Perhaps she should buy more plants? Like those large, mutated plants she had seen at the Academy of Sciences community before. They were very beautiful. If planted in the courtyard, they might create a fairy-tale atmosphere.
