Chapter 11: Fat Birds

As soon as Yuan Xi got out of the car, a fire rushed towards him and then his vision went dark.

His head was covered by black hair, so he reached up and pulled a hairball off his face. He then met a pair of mung bean eyes. Yuan Xi remained quiet. It looked like a bird's face….

The small mung bean eyes also looked a bit silly. The hairball stared at him, then it muttered and began to call, and also flailed its limbs as it struggled in his grip.

It fluttered so hard that it dislodged a pile of fiery red feathers, causing Yuan Xi to sneeze and let it go. As soon as it was released, it became more energetic. The smooth, round body of the creature flapped its wings, huffing and puffing, as it flew up. Unfortunately, it was so fat that its wings couldn't support it. After flying for a moment, it looked for a place to land, fell, and squatted down.

Yuan Xi's head sank…. A cloud of black lines hung over his forehead.

The damn fat bird squatted on his head!

F*cking egg! Fat bird, you think you're a little bird, but your round body is just like a watermelon! You want to crush laozi* to death, ah!

*laozi = "old master", angry/arrogant way to refer to oneself

The fat bird was unaware of the killing intent aimed at it from just under its buttocks. It just felt like it stood tall and was able to look far; it has never been so high in the entirety of its birdy life! It felt so heroic that it could not help cooing again.

This scene made all the onlookers laugh.

At this time, the long-time workers from the breeding area rushed over and saw the scene. They were amused but didn't dare to show it on their face. They didn't know what to do.

The fat bird crouched on a guest's head. He started to grab it, but felt it was not right to grab it, so stopped. God, what kind of hospitality was this? Will they be fired…? Suddenly, there was some confusion.

Yuan Xi wanted to make his own way in life and drag the fat bird down himself, but who knew the fat bird was awfully spirited? Its fat claws gripped Yuan Xi's hair to death, sitting firmly on his head as steady as Mount Tai without budging an inch…

Yuan Xi tugged at it for half the day*, causing his head and scalp to ache. There truly was no way for him to pull it down, so he had to ask what was the matter.

*半天 literally means "half the day" but it essentially means "a long time" or "quite a while"

The long-term hired hand stammered out the whole story from beginning to end.

It turned out that this was a Sutou bird. There were a group of approximately 30 Sutou birds on Wang Qingnian's farm. Wang Qingnian recently raised a batch of chicks as the Sutou birds' eggs have been selling well. However, this Sutou bird was both male and female, and couldn't be differentiated at all.

Therefore, once they all grow up, the ones who can lay eggs are determined to be female while the ones who cannot lay eggs are males. The males are not very useful and can also cause trouble, so it was customary to catch and slaughter them to sell their meat.

This fat bird has never laid eggs. It was practical to let it stay for longer if it looks like it will be a mother, but it has been more than 10 days and it still hasn't laid an egg. It certainly must be a male.

As a result, the long-term hired hand wanted to catch and kill it today. Who would have thought that the bird was very smart, jumping like a chicken or a dog*, so that no one could catch it? Also, letting him squat on the guest's head.

*essentially, causing chaos/mess

Feeling this fat bird is for life*…

*感情这肥鸟是为了活命….

After listening to the whole story, Wang Qingnian bustled with noise and excitement. He was familiar with Yuan Xi, so he laughed and joked: "Son, this fat bird knows you, the new master, is a savior and it caught you."

When he said this, everyone laughed but the long-term hired hand was frightened. He had long heard that the farm was going to change hands, but never imagined that the new owner would come to examine it today. Then something like this happened to him. He…his job…Instantly, the long-time worker's face paled.

Yuan Xi was careful and noticed the look on the long-term hired hand's face, but he didn't say much. He just pulled at the fat bird and said to it: "Ok, ok, if we don't kill you, shall we keep you?"

He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if the fat bird listened and understand to what Yuan Xi said, but it relaxed its claws and suddenly took a big step forward. The bird's plump body fell steadily into Yuan Xi's arms and clucked a triumphant call to the long-term worker.

Wang Qingnian laughed hard and said: "This fatso is even like a human, haha!"

Yuan Xi didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, but the fat bird looked at him and depended upon him. Yuan Xi had to hold it and continued to tour the farm holding the bird.

The fat bird dominated the space around it, holding its head high and maintaining an imperious air throughout the tour. It gained face in front of the rest of the livestock, including the other Sutou birds, white-striped cattle, zebra piglets, and fire antelopes.

The extra farming area Wang Qingnian opened up was not small, at least 3 mu of land. The population of Sutou birds was relatively large and occupied a larger area. There were 12 white-striped cattled, which produced milk. Meat from zebra piglets was also popular on Blue Star, so Wang Qingnian just recently bought 20 piglets, each of them white and perfectly round. They looked perfect for fattening up.

Fire antelopes were not what Yuan Xi expected. They were red and furry, like clouds. Wang Qingnian took good care of them, each looking very clean though not very big. They were like pets.

Yuan Xi carefully inquired about them. Wang Qingnian answered: "Don't underestimate these little guys. This is a hybrid breed that I imported from outside the planet. Though they're smaller than the white-striped dairy cows, their milk production is comparable to that of the white-striped cow. They also have a longer weaning period, and their meat is very delicious after they grow up…"

As Yuan Xi listened, he realized these little guys were all treasures. He couldn't help asking another question: "Why don't you breed them in large quantities?"

Wang Qingnian sighed: "I want to, too. However, these antelopes are hybrids so they're not fertile. You have to buy new pups after raising a batch. Although the production is high, the costs are much higher. After calculating for a time, I realized that there isn't a large difference in profit from raising white-striped cows and zebra pigs."

It turned out like that. Yuan Xi also felt regretful.

Wang Qingnian added: "The reason why I raised this batch again this year is to create a new image of selling fresh meat, which would improve the farm's fame. But, it's a bit difficult to rely on them to make money."

Yuan Xi nodded in understanding, but he was still a little more concerned about the antelopes. If he could breed them, that would greatly reduce the costs, and they could produce both milk and meat. Yuan Xi also carefully touched the fire antelope's thick wool, thinking that it was likely there could also be a market for this wool. The whole body was a treasure, which could increase the profits.

The tour took a full hour from the beginning to the end. Wang Qingnian was a quick talker, especially since he liked Yuan Xi very much. He wanted to tell Yuan Xi all that he knew and of all his experiences. He told Yuan Xi all of it.

Yuan Xi was grateful for his attentions. It was his good luck to meet Wang Qingnian. When he was treated so sincerely by others, he remembered it clearly in his heart and would naturally strive to repay others ten times what he received.

The area for the livestock was different from the area for agriculture. Although the planting area was the largest, there were not many people on it. There were only three long-term workers to manage it. On the other hand, the area for livestock was smaller but employed a total of 15 workers, five times as many workers as the area for planting.

This was due to the relative developments in science and technology in these times. Because of his daughter's studies, Wang Qingnian also accepted more equipment for use in the field. From sowing to irrigating, fertilizing and pesticidal treatment to the final harvest, there were corresponding machines in the agricultural area. These machines were expensive, but they could be rented specifically because they were used on a regular basis, which saved a lot of money and reduced human labor.

Additionally, three long-term workers patrol the grounds every day, paying attention to the growth of the crops. They knew the growth schedules well.

However, the livestock areas were different, including pastures, feed allocation, cleaning the livestock areas, cattle and sheep grazing, egg collection, milking, etc…. These occur every day. Although there were corresponding machines for these jobs, the price was too expensive and was not economical at all.

Furthermore, the scale of the livestock area was relatively small. Even full-time manual care did not require too many people. It was already very relaxed with just 15 people, so there was no need to use machines.

After they finished the tour, the fat bird crouching in Yuan Xi's arms fell asleep… Yuan Xi's mouth puckered, and he deeply wondered if it was a bird or a pig.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Yucheng were very satisfied with the tour. At the current federal pricing, Wang Qingnian's farm could be bought even if the selling price reached 5 million credit points. Wang Qingnian only asked for 2 million credit points from Yuan Xi, which was practically nothing.

As soon as the two parties sat down, they discussed the price again. Wang Qingnian very strongly insisted: "Brother, Xiao Xi, you don't have to give in either. Although I, Wang Qingnian, am not very rich or noble, I don't value money overly much. As long as I work hard, money can always be earned again. However, these emotional matters can only be found by luck, not by searching for it. Especially my brother, you saved my father, so I'm repaying a debt of gratitude!"

Wang Qingnian said this eloquently, but Yuan Yucheng was not a talker. He was a little dumb in speaking about matters in his heart, and couldn't reply.

Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Yucheng and knew his thoughts. Their family had already decided the matter. It was unreasonable to owe so much due to human sympathies and sentiment. Although he saved Old Wang, honestly speaking, no one would with a conscience would idly stand by. Furthermore, nothing happened in the end and both sides were doing well. Yuan Xi couldn't take advantage of them like this.

Yuan Yucheng didn't know how to say this, so Yuan Xi simply said it on his behalf: "Uncle Wang, my parents and I have discussed this for a long time these past few days. Our two families are friendly, and we know your kind regards for us. As you said, you don't value money, but you value the mutual affection we hold for each other. You think our hearts are warm, but our minds are the same as yours. Our feelings remain, even if we are far away. But our feelings often come and go. Can we get closer and closer?"

Yuan Xi's words were soft, but his attitude was correct. His words also showed that the relationship between the two families was to support each other with courtesy. It was also to subtly show Wang Qingnian that what he wanted from the other party was mutual respect and gradual progress. Only in this way could they move forward in the long run.

Wang Qingnian was old-fashioned and could not hear the underlying meaning, so he hesitated for a moment.

When Yuan Xi noticed his hesitation, he laughed and jokingly said: "Uncle, don't say anything more about gratitude, or else I'll always think that you want to get rid of our relationship."

Wang Qingnian was stunned by his remarks, but then he laughed and clapped Yuan Xi on the shoulder. He said: "You little boy, you came to shock me*."

*google and baidu said this was "stimulate me" or "excite me". I went with some less ambiguous words, lol

Seeing Yuan Xi smiling like a little fox, his heart was also very happy and he said: "Alright, your Uncle Wang can't talk to you. I'm impressed, you're the boss, I'll listen to you."

In the end, Wang Qingnian set the price at 3.5 million credit points, including the 300 mu of fields, orchards, vegetable gardens, and livestock area. He even resolutely made them accept the small, two-story Western-style building, too.

Yuan Xi no longer refused. With a smile on their faces, they left. Both parties went together to register at the administrative office of Blue Island.

Because they bought a house in Blue Star before, the Yuan family were already registered residents in Blue Star. Therefore, the process of buying land was not as complicated.

But in the end, there was a dispute over the ownership of the property.

. Chapter 12: Gossip

From the very beginning, Yuan Xi very clearly knew that Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun had done a lot for him. He would naturally take care of them and treat them well with filial piety. But most of the time, it's make empty promises about doing it.

Though they were a family and their feelings were genuine, what should be treated with reason must be faced with reason.

The farm was their first joint venture. He did not say he was going to give the farm to Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun, but he acted realistically and filled in all three of their names on the property deed.

This was their common property, and it belonged to all three of them.

So in terms of who owned the land, he had long planned to do this. Thus, he took it for granted and did not have any additional discussions with Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun.

Yuan Yucheng only learned about this situation upon signing the transfer agreement. He immediately opposed it: "We don't need to fill in our names, just transfer it to Yuan Xi."

Yuan Xi immediately replied: "No, it's three people."

Then Yuan Yucheng wanted to speak again, but Yuan Xi straightforwardly interrupted him and said with a sure voice: "Dad, I hope you can respect my decision on this matter. I'd rather give up the farm if I couldn't add both of your names."

When Yuan Xi said this, Yuan Yucheng couldn't say anything against him. He frowned and sighed in defeat, giving in.

Wang Qingnian lived in this area for many years and built many relationships, so it did not take much effort to settle the transfer agreement of the farm. Yuan Xi happily paid the money.

Everything was properly handled, and the two families had another meal together. This time, Wang Qingnian insisted on going somewhere else: "Xiao Xi, your skill is beyond words, but this time you have to give your uncle a chance. We won't be eating at home, and instead, I'll take you to have eat a Blue Island specialty."

Yuan Xi replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you." He also added: "My skill is in home-cooking. Whenever you want to eat, just say it and I'll make it for you."

When he said this, Wang Qingnian could not help but be happy again: "Good, good, I just love to listen to your kid speak."

This time, Wang Qingnian hosted and his wife came out. She was a very quiet middle-aged woman with a delicate and pretty appearance. She was somewhat subtle and not very good at entertaining people, a bit clumsy with her words, but treated others with a genuine attitude.

Lin Suyun also came out with Xiao Yuan Zhe, and she (WQ's wife) was amazed when she saw the little bun. Xiao Yuan Zhe was not afraid of strangers, giggling and laughing freely, which the three women liked very much.

The hotel was one of the best in Blue Island. Yuan Xi paid special attention to the menu. Honestly, it was not as wonderful as he had imagined. Though there were many ingredients he had never seen before, the control of the flavors was not very good.

But, it was a pleasure eating new foods.

When eating a meal, it's not good to say how much people eat or drink. Xiao Yuan Zhe, the little thing, stole the limelight. They reserved room 668, on the 3rd floor. Their servers were two sisters, who were completely conquered by this little bun.

The news spread all over the hotel in a flash of lightning. In a large hotel with hundreds of waiters, everyone knew that there was a lovely little steamed bun in room 668 who loved to laugh and was so cute people couldn't help but love him.

Yuan Xi and the others ordered ten dishes altogether, which were each served by ten different waiters… When there were dishes that had to be cleared and taken away, they all took the opportunity to look at the little bun in the cradle.

Yuan Xi went to the bathroom and heard a sister say: "Hey…it's a pity that we didn't get a chance to serve…"

Yuan Xi really did not know if he should laugh or cry, but he felt both happy and amused. In the end, he felt a little sad. His son was only two months old, and already causing trouble. There is no telling what will follow when he grows up….

Thinking about it, Yuan Xi giggled again…ha ha…this is the sweet sorrow of parents….

After dinner, Wang Qingnian drank a lot and laughed a lot, persistently saying good, good, good: a good father, a good mother, a good wife, and a good child. Yuan Yucheng's capacity for liquor was much higher so he was relatively more restrained. He was typically a conscientious person in his daily life, but he was laughing at that time. He wasn't laughing too much, but he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

Yuan Xi also wanted to laugh. Sometimes, when people get drunk, they are unable to restrain themselves from showing their true emotions. People like Wang Qingnian and Yuan Yucheng are happy drunks; they can't stop laughing and boasting. Basically, they feel very satisfied and believe they have happy lives in their hearts.

When the two families returned home, it was late. Yuan Xi and Lin Suyun bathed the little bun and fed him milk. Yuan Xi himself then took a shower and washed before sleeping with his son.

However, in the next room, Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun were talking.

Although Yuan Yucheng drank a lot of wine, he was still very clear-headed.

Sitting in bed, he drank the sobering tea his old wife gave him and slowly told Lin Suyun what happened at the Blue Island Administrative Hall that day.

After listening to him, Lin Suyun sighed: "Yuan Xi is a good boy."

Yuan Yucheng said: "Yes, he really thinks about us and doesn't just make hollow promises. At that time, I tried to reject it and get him to take it back, but he was too persistent."

Lin Suyun replied: "A child's heart will be hurt if you make excuses and put obstacles in the way*."

*推三阻四 = idiom, basically means if you decline with all sorts of excuses

Yuan Yuheng sighed: "I don't know, it's just…"

He couldn't finish his sentence, but how could Lin Suyun not know the mess of the Yuan family?

Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun were silent for a while. Finally, Lin Suyun said: "We can't refute the child's mind, but we can't let the child suffer either. Go to the administrative office tomorrow and we can quietly do another property transfer. All of the property will be transferred to Yuan Xi's name privately, eliminating any future trouble."

Yuan Yucheng agreed with what Lin Suyun said, but he also hesitated: "Doesn't this process also need Yuan Xi's presence?"

Lin Suyun replied: "Wang Qingnian has some connections. Let's spend a little more money to have it transferred to him (YX) without publicity. He can make an exception for us this one time."

Yuan Yucheng was the most upright person due to the nature of his work, but he wasn't ignorant to the need to be flexible, especially in today's federation… Ai….Yuan Yucheng sighed, but nodded.

How clever is Lin Suyun that when he sighs at his wife, she can guess what he thinks? Her face softened and she soothed: "Don't worry about what's gone. We've also once been considered dead, but now look at everything. How good are the days now? We have a son and grandson, a son who is competent and a grandson who is both cute and lovely…" When Yuan Xiao Zhe was mentioned, Lin Suyun could not stop talking about what Yuan Xiao Zhe had done during the day, how well he was doing and how lovable* he was…

*疼 was used, which means "ache, pain, sore; love dearly". I don't think we have a word in English for this, so I just used "lovable"

These were trivial things, but Yuan Yucheng listened. The heart was incomparably comfortable. Thinking of Yuan Xiao Zhe this way, his heart felt soft and intimate.

The old couple talked for a while. At the end of the day, Yucheng remembered something else. He could not help saying: "Xiao Zhe looks like that, and doesn't resemble his father…" This father naturally refers to Yuan Xi.

Lin Suyun looked at him and said half-heartedly: "Although a two month-old child has not yet grown up, the foundation is there. The appearance…"

Yuan Yucheng looked at her and said what was in their hearts: "He really looks like Ye's family."

Yuan Yucheng added: "Well, who knows? Xiao Xi doesn't want to talk about it, so it's probably not a good story. Look, let's look after our son and grandson seriously, and not let anyone bully them."

Listening to him say this, Lin Suyun laughed and said: "As smart as xiao Xi is, can he be bullied? You don't need to worry about him."

"Yes, yes,*" Yuan Yucheng said. As their voices faded, they fell asleep together.

*也是 = yě shì = be also the same → figured it was an affirmative statement, so I just used "yes"

The next day, Yuan Xi was awakened by his son. The little bun was only two months old and could not turn over, but he moved his hands and feet very vigorously. After waking up, he danced around, tossing and tumbling.

Yuan Xi hugged him and he (YXZ) shook his lotus-like chubby little arm severely. However, being a silly Dad, Yuan Xi just thought it was adorable so he took that tight little fist and kissed it.

Such a big baby, all he did was basically eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. It was good to wake up and play for a while. Yuan Xi knew that his son must have been hungry, so he quickly mixed the water with the milk formula.

It was done in a minute. He carefully held his son in his arms and fed him with the bottle. The little bun was very hungry, and did not stop murmuring and drinking.

Yuan Xi looked down and saw how much he (YXZ) liked it. He saw his son smacking his small mouth in satisfaction and the joy at the delicious food in his big eyes. The little devil called mischief stirred in Yuan Xi's belly.

Say…he's never seen his son cry…maybe he should take a shot?

The more he thought about it, the more itchy he was. Yuan Xi looked at the innocent little bun and began to laugh. Then, he pulled out the nipple of the bottle….

Yuan Xiao Zhe was still immersed in the happiness and satisfaction of feeding, when his mouth was suddenly empty and he didn't taste anything for a while. He then opened his big eyes and had a look of confusion on his small face.

Yuan Xi laughed out loud, and waited for his son to lose his temper and start crying.

Who knew that this little thing would see his father laughing and think he was teasing him to play, then immediately start giggling instead…? Yuan Xi had a bad feeling and quickly turned the little bun in the other direction.

It happened quicker than words could tell. Unfortunately, because of the inconvenient angle and the bottle Yuan Xi still held in his hand, the speed was half a beat slower than intended…As a result, the milky way* rushed up and poured out onto his chest with precision.

*not literally the Milky Way (as in space)

He didn't prank but was bullied instead. Yuan Xi was really…living in vain for 24 years….

Lin Suyun heard the ruckus and came in just in time to see this scene, and she immediately burst out into laughter. She took the little bun and washed him, changed his diapers, and started feeding him again.

Yuan Xi was forced to deal with his clothes himself.

After breakfast, Yuan Xi arrived at the farm early. Although the ownership of the farm was transferred, Wang Qingnian still lived on the farm with half a month to go. So, Yuan Xi made good use of this time to consult him (WQN) so he would have a good idea of how to run the farm without any significant troubles.

He just arrived at the farm when five or six strangers approached.

The man in charge looked about 20 years old. He was not very tall, standing at about 1.7 meters, but was very stiff. There were five strong, young men behind him, each with a serious look on their faces. The situation was not good.

. Chapter 13: Zhào Zhāo

These people were all new faces; they were complete strangers. Yuan Xi looked at them for a while, then – without saying anything at all – he turned around and continued into the farm.

As he entered the front door, the others followed him on his heels.

Xiao Wu, a long-time worker in charge of housekeeping, looked like he had been waiting for Yuan Xi and greeted him. Upon seeing Yuan Xi, he said: "Uncle Wang went to the planting area early in the morning and said you were coming. Let me take you there."

Yuan Xi nodded, a little embarrassed. He got up early on purpose, but he was still late. He fixed the current time into his memory so he would not be late tomorrow.

At this time, the six people from before also entered. The young man, who seemed to be the leader, brusquely asked: "Xiao Wu, who is this?"

Xiao Wu was surprised when he saw the young man. Then, with a wide smile on his face, he said: "Zhào-ge*, why are you here?"

*哥 = gē = elder brother → while this is a familial term, you can also refer to friends as "brother" or "sister" in Asian cultures (like calling an older male friend "oppa" in Korea)

The young man called Zhào-ge looked at Yuanxi, then stared at Xiao Wu and threatened: "If I ask you a question, you should answer it! Why so much nonsense!"

Xiao Wu opened and closed his mouth. How could he be so unlucky to meet this bad guy*….? But there was no time to complain at that moment. He braced himself and said: "This Mister Yuan is a friend of our boss. He is a guest."

*冤家 = yuān jia = enemy; foe; opponent

"Surname Yuan?" The young man's thick eyebrows wrinkled and he looked at Yuan Xi fiercely: "You're the kid who wants to take over the farm, right?"

Yuan Xi still couldn't figure out who this Zhào-ge was, but didn't think it was important. The process of transferring the farm's ownership was completed, so it was impossible to make any trouble. Sooner or later, he had to bear the responsibility himself, so he might as well take advantage of this opportunity….

Yuan Xi narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile: "That's right, my name is Yuan Xi. I am the new owner of Qinghe Farm."

When he said this, Xiao Wu was shocked. He wanted to stop him, but could not. He was anxious because this guy surnamed Zhào had a hot temper; he worked hard and played hard, doing bad things all day long with a couple of other young people.

He coveted Wang Qingnian's farm for a long time. However, given his temperament, no amount of money could sway Wang Qingnian into transferring the farm to him. Moreover, Wang Qingnian was not soft. After so many years of working and all the connections he (WQN) made, he (ZZ) did not dare to provoke him.

On the other hand, Yuan Xi was a newcomer. Zhào Zhāo was a reckless boy and naturally was quick to anger.

Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Xi said that, the youth surnamed Zhào became angry: "You, say that again!"

Yuan Xi repeated himself with a smile, emphasizing the words "new owner". This was a naked provocation.

Xiao Wu was shocked. He was afraid of being implicated. Moreover, he was afraid that Yuan Xi would be beaten up and that he would have to take responsibility. He watched them draw out their weapons. He then happened to see his workmate Li Ren with his sharp eyes, and hurried to say hello. Li Ren was also a clever man and immediately understood the situation. He (LR) turned around and ran towards the planting area.

He hoped Wang Qingnian would get there soon, and that nothing big happened in the meanwhile….

Over in the planting area, Wang Qingnian was waiting for Yuan Xi. Instead of meeting him, he received the news from Li Ren, and immediately became angry upon hearing it. That stinky boy dared to go wild on his head, what a bastard! He's looking for a beating!

He put his work aside, got into the car, and rushed over in a hurry. Wang Qingnian became even more worried when he thought of Yuan Xi's small stature compared to the proportions of other people. How could he face Yuan Yucheng if he (YX) was injured here!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became; and the more he thought, the more worried he became. Wang Qingnian wished he could fly straight over.

Unfortunately, even with a car, the distance was not very close. Wang Qingnian regretted not arranging a few more people to guard the entrance. Let's see who would dare to be wild then!

While regretting and worrying, Wang Qingnian finally arrived and rushed to the entrance, angrily shouting: "Zhào Zhāo, you bastard, what are you doing?"

Originally, he thought that Zhào Zhāo, that stinky boy, would not dare to start anything. But, unexpectedly, he was still holding his fist.

Wang Qingnian became even more angry. Yuan Xi's small body would get hurt a lot when he was hit by those fists.

He could only hate his old age; his legs and feet were not as light as they used to be. If he could, he would hit Zhào Zhāo, that stinky brat, with a flying kick.

Unfortunately, he could only watch from afar at that moment. Taking a closer look…something seemed to be wrong?

The car sped quickly to the entrance. Wang Qingnian got out of the car and was stunned by the scene that greeted him.

That bastard Zhào Zhāo, holding his fists, prostrated himself before Yuan Xi with a thump and shouted in a loud voice: "Master, please accept me as an apprentice!"

Wang Qingnian: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴This, what rhythm is this?

He looked at Yuan Xi standing opposite, with squinting big eyes and a smile upturning his mouth. The old god asked: "Impressed?"

Zhào Zhāo raised his head and replied with sincerity: "I'm impressed! I'm totally impressed! It's this young apprentice who has eyes but could not see Mount Tai, who did not even try his best when he challenged the Master. I truly deserve a beating, you should hit me hard!"

Yuan Xi looked at Zhào Zhāo's face, bruised blue and purple, and asked with a restrained smile: "Who said I was your master?"

Zhào Zhāo's face was surprised: "Master, master, you can't leave me behind. Your martial arts are world-class and you have a chivalrous spirit. A great man rarely stoops to pettiness or harbors grievances for past wrongs. Take me as a student and teach me! I want to throw them to the ground just like that!" While speaking and gesturing, he looked presentable*.

*边说着边比划着，还有模有样的

After listening to his funny words, Yuan Xi finally couldn't help laughing: "You, stop it, you've watched too many TV shows."

After that, Yuan Xi stopped paying attention to him. When he saw Wang Qingnian coming, he said: "Uncle Wang, it's alright. Don't worry."

Wang Qingnian carefully looked at this scene, which was beyond his imagination. Yuan Xi really was okay. What was wrong with this scene was that Zhào Zhāo's little gang of bastards, which included all five of the young men, all rolled on the ground, whining and groaning in pain. Zhào Zhāo was also punched several times, but he was skinny and tough. Although he was bruised black and blue, he remained silent at that time. He also thickened his face and kissed up to Yuan Xi for fear that Yuan Xi would throw him away. That posture really showed the fervent desire to "worship teachers and learn art".

Seeing Wang Qingnian coming over, Xiao Wu's grey complexion immediately cleared and was replaced by an expression of excitement on his face. He gathered around Wang Qingnian and could not restrain his excitement: "Boss, you didn't see it, Yuan xiao-ge* is so strong that as soon as he (ZZ) reached out to punch him (YX), he (YX) grabbed Zhào-ge's rushing fist and pushed back. He unexpectedly overturned that big guy, Zhào-ge! Oh, my God**, that power is truly not a boast***!

*元小哥 = Yuan xiao-ge → according to hinative, 小哥哥 refers to boys who the speaker thinks is cute and/or cool, while quora says 小哥 can be used when addressing a guy who is younger who the speaker wants to suck up to

** 妈呀 literally translates to "oh, mother!", which is equivalent to the Western exclamation "Oh, my God!"

***那力道真不是吹的

Xiao Wu excitedly danced again and said: "Then he turned around, did a swing kick, then kicked the five men on the ground! His movements were absolutely crisp and sharp!"

Zhào Zhāo, the victim, also added fuel to the fire* to the side. He was a big man with a fierce face and a very sharp mouth. In order to please Yuan Xi, he added endless adjectives to the description, which amazed the unemployed graduate student, Yuan Xi.

*添油加醋 = lit. add fuel and vinegar = fig. adding the trimmings; exaggerate embellishment to; add highly coloured detail to

The farce finally ended when Zhào Zhāo drove away the five young men who were rolling on the ground and followed behind Yuan Xi.

Wang Qingnian was friends with the father of that bastard Zhào Zhāo, so they naturally did not drive him away. Yuan Xi had sharp eyes and could see the advantages*. Although that bastard Zhào Zhāo, that fiend in human shape, was fierce and aggressive, he had not yet done anything excessive. Okay…. Just a pretentious and incompetent jack-of-all trades**, he didn't have the capital to do anything.

*也看出些门道 = lit. some doorways are also visible

**那三脚 = lit. three-legged cat = fig. jack-of-all-trades, master of none

A group of people then got on the car. Zhào Zhāo knew that Yuan Xi was shadowing Wang Qingnian to learn how to manage the farm, and immediately bravely volunteered: "Master! This apprentice's family also does the same thing and are still very knowledgeable. If you need anything, just let me know, and I promise to make you beautiful and bright."

Yuan Xi scoffed and threatened: "Call me Master again, and I'll beat you!"

Zhào Zhāo, however, solemnly replied: "It's not beating, it's not beating. It's a school exam, and the apprentices are on-call at any time."

Yuan Xi: …can't hurt this martial arts enthusiast…

Hey, who didn't have middle school 2nd year syndrome*? With this in mind, Yuan Xi went with him, but it was Wang Qingnian who burst Zhào Zhāo's bubble: "You muddy boy, you know about farming? Going out all day and playing the gangster, when did your dad teach you how to manage a farm? Carefree brat, if I were your father, I would have beaten you so long that you couldn't go out."

*aka chunnibyou, that embarrassing phase when you think you have special powers or that you're cooler/more awesome/special than others

** 倒是王庆年给了赵昭一个爆栗 = lit. it was Wang Qingnian who gave Zhào Zhāo an exploding chestnut → I couldn't find out if this was an idiom or slang online, but I figured it was the Chinese equivalent to "bursting someone's bubble" in English

After Wang Qingnian said this, Zhào Zhāo immediately stiffened his neck and shouted: "Uncle Wang, you can insult me but you can't insult my ideal! My dream is not to stay here. I want to practice martial arts, join the army, become a member of the regular army of the Federation, serve the Federation and guard the Galaxy!"

"Nonsense!" Wang Qingnian remarked rudely: "You want to practice martial arts, you want to join the army, and you want to defend the Federation yet you just wander around on Blue Island with a bunch of gangsters?"

This sentence hit Zhào Zhāo's soft spot. He shrank his neck, peered at Yuan Xi, and whispered: "I… I… Didn't I accumulate practical experience?"

Yuan Xi couldn't help being amused that such a big man had such a poor mouth.

Seeing Yuan Xi laugh, Zhào Zhāo inevitably was in high spirits again. Trembling with courage and excitement, he shouted: "Now that I have found Master, I must stop fooling around and concentrate on learning art!"

His declaration caused the others to burst into laughter.

Zhào Zhāo was stupefied. Usually, if others dared to laugh at him, he would dare to beat them. But, at that moment, he was so embarrassed.

A car full of people joked and chatted freely, and they soon arrived at the planting area. When they got out of the car, Wang Qingnian and Yuan Xi went ahead. Zhào Zhāo touched his nose and followed them, and several more long-term workers followed at the end.

Without Zhào Zhāo's interruption, Yuan Xi humbly consulted Wang Qingnian.

Yuan Xi was inexperienced in managing a farm, but it was generally much simpler now than in the past. After so many years of development, human beings have made great progress in many fields, including agriculture.

For example, consider the genetic modification of crops. Thousands of years ago, 1,000 jin* of wheat per mu of land made farmers happy enough to blossom. Now, the wheat yield has reached 5,000 jin per mu. Additionally, the yield of rice per mu has also increased more than six times. Furthermore, many varieties have also emerged through years of evolution and change.

*jin = unit of weight, equal to 500 grams

Like rice the size of soybeans, a bunch of grape-like wheat, and even some kind of white-coloured fruit crop… But, these mutated crops still had many shortcomings. They were too big but not nutritious enough, or they were too expensive to grow, too expensive to promote, and so on… There were numerous problems.

Another change that delighted Yuan Xi was that the maturation rate and life cycles of crops were drastically shortened. Because Blue Island was a planet with constant temperatures, and its revolution was similar to that of Earth, there were 12 months in a year but four growing seasons.

With an average of three months required for a batch of crops to mature coupled with this doubling in production, Yuan Xi was deeply aware that there was a lot of land to eat and use in this society.

After walking through a large area of wheat and rice fields, which occupied two-thirds of the planting area, Wang Qingnian told Yuan Xi: "All of these have already been prepared, and we're just waiting for a good harvest in a month. There will be almost no mistakes. Come on, I'll show you around."

Wang Qingnian had planted some strange things for the ancient people of Yuan Xi's time in the last third of the planting areas.

. Chapter 14: Albite

The fields could grow various crops such as wheat, rice, and even medicinal flowers and cotton , stones could also be planted in the fields. This… This country bumpkin Yuan Xi never seen anything like this before.

At first glance, this planting area was not really eye-catching.

This plant was about the height of people's calves, with golden leaves as bright as gold. It looked especially glorious in the bright, hot sun.

Looking at the shape of the plant, Yuan Xi thought it looked a little like corn, though it was much shorter. A stem stretches out, layered with golden leaves, and there were crystal-clear pure white stones hanging at the junction of the leaf and the stem. The stones were as big as a man's palms and oval in shape.

Yuan Xi was amazed, but did not dare to show it on his face. Wouldn't he arouse suspicion if he made a fuss at this moment and this futuristic crop turned out to be as common as planting corn in the field?

He did not speak out, but Zhào Zhāo exclaimed: "Uncle Wang, you took such great care of the albite, they're so tall and beautiful. It's a good harvest."

When Zhào Zhāo said that, Wang Qingnian was somewhat proud and his mouth turned upward in a small smile. Although he modestly protested that it was normal, his heart would definitely take up and hold on to that sentence to the third world.

*但那心里绝对会跟着句世界第三也就是了 Tried my best to interpret this with baidu (which I triple checked with yandex and google translate, just to get something similar)

Zhào Zhāo was also an interesting person. He didn't look at people's faces and was straight-forward, but sometimes praise from such a person was more pleasant and meaningful. Because such people are not fake, they say what they see and don't come up with false flattery*.

*因为他们不做假，看到什么说什么，来不了那套虚伪造作的。I couldn't figure out the last part, so I just wrote what I thought made sense to finish that sentence. If anyone has an accurate translation, I'd be much obliged.

Yuan Xi also heard his way out from Zhào Zhāo's big mouth.

It was a really popular crop, and universally grown throughout the Federation. It was originally a product of a G-grade crystalline geological planet, which was later discovered by the Federal Exploration Team of Exoplanets. After a long and convoluted study, it was discovered that this kind of crystal contained a large amount of thermal energy, which could be directly converted into usable energy after extraction. It was very convenient and practical.

In this era of energy supremacy, the discovery of this crystal was a huge breakthrough, leading to the smooth and complete resolution of the ever-worsening energy crisis. It had great historical significance.

For this reason, the research on albite became increasingly detailed and more in-depth. Later, with the efforts of many scientists, it was found that this could be categorized as a plant. While albite is a fruit, this plant was very special. It absorbed a lot of solar energy, and then went through a complex transformation of roots, stems, and leaves. Finally, all the compression and aggregation culminated in the albite, resulting in this magic product rich in thermal energy.*

Once humans had a thorough understanding of the plant, the Federation ordered a large-scale promotion and subsidization of the crop. Such a renewable, pollution-free and high purity source of energy was precious. After popularization, it will become a great breakthrough for the rapid development of human beings in the future.

After so many years of development and evolution, the technology involved in planting albite has become very advanced. Of course, the relative profits were not as high as in the beginning, but it was still a favorite crop of every farmer as the white stone was easy to handle, did not attract any insects, and did not require weeding. As long as there was sufficient sunlight, it could essentially grow well.

However, the albite also had a fatal defect. The processes involved from planting to germination and growth to final maturity were very carefree. Only, the last hurdle, harvesting, was very troublesome.

Albite was so hard that ordinary instruments were unable to remove the roots at all. It was a bit troublesome, but if one spent some money on a sickle made of special materials, it was possible to harvest.

The most painful thing was that after removing the dolomite, it will instantaneously change its shape. If it is not put into a specific container within 10 seconds, it will melt into the air and completely turn into a ray of sunlight…

This was a very troublesome process to not only determine the shape it becomes but to also quickly put it into the corresponding container. If the reaction is just a little slow, the albite will disappear, and these months of painstaking efforts will be wasted.

This kind of pithole harvesting process once led to loss of blood for farmers trying to plant albite on a large-scale for the first time. Even now, when everyone had experience and were familiar with the process, a single distraction will inevitably lead to mistakes, causing some loss.

Although the Federation developed intelligent harvesting robots for some time now, they were extremely expensive and almost unaffordable to remote asteroids, such as Blue Star. Thus, the crops were all hand-picked.

100 mu of dry land was planted with the white stone. Although Wang Qingnian was a cheerful and informal man on the surface, farm care has always been the center of his attention. Thus, his crops grew well with a high yield and high profits. He couldn't have gotten rich without his hands.

Though Yuan Xi did not know much about the market, this large area of growing albite was really pleasant. The fruits were plump and full, the color of the purest milky white. When such fruits are picked, the recipient will pay a much higher price.

Wang Qingnian took Yuan Xi to walk around the grounds, and talked about his experiences in planting albite:

"Xiao Xi, this albite has a short growth cycle, fast shipments, and a much higher total profit than other crops, especially with good luck. In order to catch up with the Federal Start Ships for large-scale bulk purchases, not only can the Federal currency be paid directly but the price will also be much higher. The only drawback is that the requirements for the planting land of the albite are more elaborate. It must be land exposed to the rising sun, and the soil must be dry and free of impurities so that it can grow better."

Wang Qingnian paused and said: "Like the 300 mu of our farm, this 100 mu is very suitable for planting. However, for the other 200 mu, if you try to plant albite for profit, you'll lose a lot. When planted in paddy fields, albite can grow but it won't bear fruit. It can only produce some golden leaves. You should pay close attention to these."

Wang Qingnian told Yuan Xi exactly what he had learned from his years of experience. Yuan Xi listened closely. His head was easy to use; he could remember it bit by bit with his brain, especially if he concentrated on listening at this time.

In contrast, Zhào Zhāo did the same thing, but he didn't want to be there. If it hadn't been for Yuan Xi, he would have gone out to play.

Finally, Wang Qingnian said: "The land will be harvested in another three days. Then, I'll take you with me and teach you how to harvest the albite with your hands."

Because harvesting this white stone was the most troublesome, Yuan Xi was at ease having Wang Qingnian personally teach him.

Although Wang Qingnian didn't mention it, Yuan Xi had a plan he kept in mind for a long time. This large piece of white stone will be harvested together with Wang Qingnian and subsequently shipped off together. He won't take one cent of money of this last transaction; let Wang Qingnian take it away.

This is Wang Qingnian's achievement after months of hard work. How could he be greedy?

Now, the harvest from the wheat, rice, and other crops in the farming areas will be fairly divided with Wang Qingnian. Parents and sons still settle their accounts; they and Wang Qingnian's family have friendly relationships, but they should act conveniently and appropriately without crossing the line*.

Zhào Zhāo was thinking of currying favor with Yuan Xi, thinking of Yuan Xi's one-handed flip over his heel and magical swing kick…he just wanted to follow him all the time, so he could learn a trick and a half and also become powerful.

In such a mood, he heard that Yuan Xi would return to harvest albite three days later, and naturally he was the first to rush to help.

In order to prepare for the harvest, Wang Qingnian was busy for the past three days, followed everywhere by Yuan Xi. First of all, he learned where to buy harvesting tools, how many to buy, and where to hire temporary workers. Then, he learned the routine standard of wages, and the preparation of the special instruments for harvesting the albite…

This, and so on, and other such matters, Wang Qingnian tirelessly lead Yuan Xi around to learn it all. Yuan Xi also studied earnestly. He only had this opportunity as he'll be alone next time.

During these three days of free time, Yuan Xi was not idle. Now, society was a bit better with a super-developed information network, so he spent several Federal credit points on the Internet learning how to correctly harvest the albite.

On a virtual online farm, he kept practicing for a long time and gained some experience. Although the albite changes its shape after being removed, it wasn't without any regularity. There were seven most common forms, so most of the carrying equipment was prepared according to these seven forms.

When the albite was picked off with a sickle, it will begin to rapidly deform. At that time, it was necessary to accurately predict the final shape according to its deforming process. In this way, the matching can be completed in 10 seconds without wasting time.

Yuan Xi told Wang Qingnian these realizations. Wang Qingnian was stunned for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "You young man, it's wasn't easy!"*

*I believe he's saying this in an impressed and supportive manner, like saying 고생했어 in Korean, which literally translates into, "You suffered", but is also kinda like saying, "You worked hard, good job" or something. But, I could be wrong…

Yuan Xi was a little embarrassed. He felt it wasn't much. Who couldn't sum up what has been done so many times?

Wang Qingnian did not say much, but he was very reassured. Though there were slight differences between the virtual network and reality, it wasn't that much different. After all, he naturally knows how high-end virtual technology is now.

But these were all secondary, he was just happy with Yuan Xi's willingness to earnestly learn, conscientiously following him around all day in the daytime and going online to practice at night, in addition to carefully integrating the experience in such a short time. He valued his diligent mind the most.

Everything was ready for harvest. Yuan Yucheng also rushed to help. He had never done anything like this before, but he had a good mentality and was quick to learn. Because of the carefulness and ingenuity required from his previous work, there was no need to worry.

On that day, Wang Qingnian, Yuan Xi, Yuan Yucheng, and Zhào Zhāo, as well as three long-term farm workers and ten temporary employees, began harvesting the albite.

Wang Qingnian first demonstrated that, although he was somewhat fat, he had the most experience. He acted quickly and correctly. In 10 seconds, he harvested a piece of albite accurately, freely, and quickly.

As he explained and demonstrated the procedure, he harvested five pieces and watched Yuan Xi's work.

It was Yuan Xi's first actual attempt at harvesting. Even if he practiced on the Internet many times, he still felt a little nervous at that moment. He could lose money with one mistake, so any carelessness couldn't be tolerated.

Fortunately, he was physically fit and had a fast reaction time. Additionally, his eyes were very sharp, especially after practicing so many times. After cutting off the dolomite, he immediately predicted its possible shape and put it in the corresponding container.

After 10 seconds, he heard a notification in his head, "Congratulations, implantation has been activated. Congratulations, sorting skills improved by 10 points."

Yuan Xi was stunned, this had something to do with sorting? But then there was another notification, different from the previous ding sound, a loud "Congratulations, sorting skills accumulated 100 points, reached conditions to upgrade. Do you wish to immediately activate the upgrade reward?"

Chapter 15 Upgrade

The sound of the system prompt changed for the first time, and Yuan Xi was a little surprised.

Yuan Xi guessed that the system could be upgraded as the progress bar has been moving forward. He will naturally upgrade, but what will happen after the upgrade? Yuan Xi could not predict what would change.

Is there even an upgrade reward? Yuan Xi thought for a moment. Now is not the time. Such a large piece of white crystal needs to be harvested. He had no time to study it, so he couldn't confirm it and just placed it aside.

It's not too late to wait until all the harvest is complete and then go home to study slowly.

Keeping this thought in mind, Yuan Xi once again focused his mind on harvesting the white crystal which required high concentration and carefulness. It was not a good idea to be distracted.

They were a group of seventeen people. The ten temporary workers were definitely used to doing this. Every farm would hire them to help with the harvest when the white crystals were mature, and their remuneration was a piece-rate model. The more they pick, the higher their salary. If a mistake destroyed it, a certain amount would be deducted from their wage. Therefore, they did it seriously, and didn't dare be sloppy at all.

To motivate his long-term workers, Wang Qingnian paid them the same salary as the temporary workers when they harvested the white crystal that wasn't based on a daily wage model. This motivates them and makes sure that they do not slack off.

As for Wang Qingnian, Yuan Xi and Yuan Yucheng, this was their own land. Of course they would be careful.

As for Zhao Zhao, he's a careless man, and the most unsuited person to do this job, usually he would have disappeared by now. Just now, he looked at Yuan Xi's concentration and thought about Yuan Xi's powerful boxing and kung fu, and he wanted to see him perform more, so he had unprecedented patience to go harvesting here.

Wang Qingnian's field was large. It produced about 400 kilograms of white crystals per acre of land, and one hundred acres of land is 40,000 kilograms. This harvest is really not small, and the workload is not low.

It takes ten seconds, because it requires too much concentration to do this work, and takes extra effort, so raising the speed wasn't possible. They hurried hard. Finally, it was finished after four days.

Among them, Yuan Xi didn't rest for a day, but he was afraid that Yuan Yucheng was tired, and he asked him to go back to rest many times. Yuan Yucheng has never been so tired, but he was stubborn, was never willing to admit defeat, and has no habit of giving up at will. Therefore, after the first day of going back home, even though he has a backache, he continued to work quietly the next day.

Who would have thought after 4 days, he still likes this kind of work and adapted himself to it? Not only does it not hurt anymore, but he was also full of energy. His spirit was also much better. Looking at the full white crystal they had harvested, this sense of achievement really makes people feel comfortable.

After finishing the work, Wang Qingnian settled the wages for both temporary and long-term workers. When doing this, he took Yuan Xi with him, and naturally he followed and learned.

He said to Yuan Xi only after he had dealt with it: "Take care of yourself. These temporary workers often do this, but even so there are some good and bad ones. Look at what you have in mind, and you can pick some capable one's next time you harvest, which can save you a lot of time and effort."

Yuan Xi listened and nodded. This was Wang Qingnian's accumulated experience after years of hard work. He tried to remember it in his heart.

After that, Wang Qingnian went to the hotel to have a big meal with temporary and permanent workers. Although this was the usual, Wang Qingnian was generous and knew how to handle people, so he went to the hotel and ordered food and the best wine.

If it were others, they would think what Wang Qingnan did was excessive. Even the most ordinary people would think such hospitality was a complete waste.

But Wang Qingnian said to Yuan Xi: "We can't look down on people when we have money. If you give them the dignity they deserve, they would not forget your kindness."

What Wang Qingnian said was his usual principle of dealing with people. Although it was not necessarily universal, it can be seen that his temperament was bright and generous. Such a person was worthy of deep friendship.

He didn't really spend that much money on this meal, but for those temporary workers, they were very touched. If Wang Qingnian didn't bring them here once, they might never have the chance to eat such a scrumptious meal in their lives.

When others respect him, they would naturally treat him with courtesy. It was precisely these small details that made Wang Qingnian famous in the area.

When the crowd dispersed, Yuan Xi stopped Zhao Zhao, and Zhao Zhao came running up to him. He drank the wine, and his face turned slightly red, but he was still sober.

Yuan Xi took a small bag from his arms and handed it to Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao didn't know what it was, so when he opened it, his face slightly changed: "Master, you… What do you mean? "

There was a big pile of blue island coins in it, and its weight was not light.

"I know you're the eldest young master and this money does not mean much in your eyes, but…" Yuan Xi deliberately paused for a while, looking at his stupefied appearance, he said with a smile, "Have you made money with your own hands?"

Zhao Zhao was shocked by this sentence. He faltered and could not speak.

Yuan Xi looked at him with a smile: "This is what you earned after four days of hard work. It belongs to you completely."

After saying this, Zhao Zhao's expression changed instantly. He made mistakes every day, and his father scolded him every day. For example, he ate, drank, fooled around, and did not listen to instructions much.

But now, he actually made money himself … This taste … Zeze (t/n: to click one's tongue), it's really unusual.

Yuan Xi looked at him like that, patted him on the shoulder, then pulled him over and showed him stealthily: "You see, I also have some money. We should reward ourselves after all these hard days."

Zhao Zhao was even happier when he saw Yunxi's identical pocket. His master was just like him. They earned their own money. Hehe, it was really nice.

Yuan Xi said to him again, "After a while, when you're not busy, you could come if you want to learn anything. If I could teach you, I will teach you. You don't have to call me master. I'm only several years older than you, just call me elder brother."

Zhao Zhao was excited when he heard this, his heavy eyebrows and big eyes blossomed instantly, and his wheat-colored face was red. He was very excited: "Mmm-hmm, master … ah-no … Brother Yuan, make sure you keep to your word!"

"Of course."

The two separated, and Yuan Xi returned home. Every day, no matter how tired and busy he was, he would hug his son and bond with the little one. When he saw his son's lovely appearance, all his tiredness was swept away and his heart was softened. He kissed his white, tender, chubby little face several times.

When he hugged him, Yuan Yucheng, the grandfather, took over him quickly. Xiao Yuan Zhe treated his father and grandfather equally, waving his lotus root-like arms, giggling and babbling.

When Lin Suyun saw this, she smiled and said, "You two, go wash up first before you hug him. Both of you soiled our clean and beautiful baby."

As soon as she gave the order, the two naturally obeyed and rushed to take a shower.

The family sat together and teased the child for a while. When they saw the little child yawning with drowsiness, they packed up and went back to sleep.

Yuan Xi coaxed his son to sleep, so he has time to check the in and outs of the system.

He has always kept in mind what kind of reward the upgrade would give, yet he doesn't know what it will be.

After thinking about it with his eyes closed, the system panel appeared in his eyes. Yuan Xi took a look at it. There was the number one behind the finishing, which should represent the first level of finishing, and there was a new progress bar behind it. He had harvested a lot of white crystals these days. The proficiency of finishing has accumulated 90 points again, but this time the progress bar was less than half. It seems like he had to accumulate 200 points to continue upgrading.

The proficiency of the planting technique has risen very slowly. After harvesting so many white crystals, it has only risen to 30… However, Yuan Xi also summed up some rules. It seems that the operation of different things has increased the proficiency. The proficiency of growing is much higher. As he only reaped the same things these days, so the proficiency will increase slowly.

The dialogue box asking to activate the reward was still there, and Yuan Xi's full expectations had been confirmed.

If the dialogue box disappears, what will be the reward?

A few seconds later, the tablet's voice rang: "Finishing level 1 Reward: 10 pack. Please check. "

Oh? Package?

Yuan Xi was extremely disappointed. What's the use of giving him a package? To pack diapers? He can buy a large suitcase at any credit point, and he can pack as many suitcases as he wants …

Yuan Xi pouted, he thought that it would reward him a lot of gold and silver jewellery or a lot of money, so stingy!

Thinking of this, he wanted to exit the panel and go to sleep with his son.

Just as he was about to close the panel, he heard another sound of beeping, and then the system said, "The package has been successfully installed."

This hint made Yuan Xi realize that he might have misunderstood something… He quickly looked at the panel and saw an added icon of a small package at the back of the finishing operation. He silently thought for a moment, then clicked the icon. What appeared in front of him was a large square, and there were ten small squares inside the square.

This thing was not strange to Yuan Xi. Those who have played online games in the 21st-century would be no stranger to this. It's really a "package"!

Yuan Xi looked at it, wondering in his heart, what could this package hold?

As his heart was not as good as his action, Yuan Xi quickly picked up something and threw it inside. Then a small square appeared with a reduced pattern. The following line of small words appeared: Baby Blanket, quantity 1.

Ahem, he was so excited that he threw his son's blanket in. But he doesn't want to freeze his son. He quickly took it out again and carefully helped cover Yuan Xiaozhe with it.

Now that he knows its usage, he's excited. In the evening, he's struggled to pack everything in the bedroom except the bed into the package…

He figured that there were ten squares in the package, each of which could only hold one thing, which seemed not to be many, but the squares were very magical, and the contents can be easily put in regardless of size. Moreover, the same kind of things can be accumulated, but it was not known how many can be stacked together.

Yuan Xi was very happy. Such a treasure was really a must-have good product for family travel and visiting relatives!

He was making a lot of noise, and the little guy was woken up by him. At this time, Yuan Xi just moved the dressing table out. The little guy thought his father was playing a game with him, and giggled.

Yuan Xi listened to the movement and saw that the little guy's big black eyes looked like a crescent moon. He was happy in his heart. He was even happier when he saw his son smiling. He then magically took out the study table again

His son laughed even more happily, as a silly father, Yuan Xi has fully developed the spirit of committing two-second crimes to the extreme.

There was a "Mommy Mommy Boom" and 'change' a nightstand. Another "jackfruit" and 'changed' into a big wardrobe…

In this way, the silly dad continued to commit two-second crimes and his son was extremely supportive. He was very happy with his laughter.

After playing for a long time, Xiao Yuanzhe was tired of laughing and fell asleep. Yuan Xi also stopped. He leaned close to Xiao Yuanzhe, kissed his chubby face and said with a smile, "Dear son, you must keep your father's secret."

After tossing for a long time, Yuan Xi was also tired. He lay on his bed and was on the verge of falling asleep when suddenly he remembered that his tidying technique had upgraded and was rewarded a wonderful package, what will it be? Will it be a planting technique, cleaning technique, harvesting technique, or cooking technique…What are the rewards for these upgrades?

Chapter 16 Respectively

After a night's rest, Yuan Xi went to Qinghe Farm early. The white crystal was successfully harvested and then shipped. This stage was the most exciting for every farmer. The reason for such a long busy time was due to this moment.

Especially for a bumper harvest, his heart was very confident.

At this critical moment, Yuan Xi was naturally inseparable from the left and right. As usual, there are no more than two ways for the delivery of white crystal. One was the internal purchase of Blue Island, which was more convenient and faster. The delivery time is when you want to ship the goods all year round. The price of white crystal was also relatively stable, which was about one Jin and three credit points. If you harvest 40000 Jin of this 100 mu, you can sell 120,000 credit points.

The seeds of all kinds of crops were very cheap and not worth mentioning. The only hard work was to take care of them this month, plus labour cost, picking cost and so on… Remove these costs, the net profit was around 80000 credit points.

This profit was really not low. The growth cycle of the white crystal was one month, which can be taken care of skillfully. It can produce up to ten quarters a year. This quarter was 80,000 credit points, making the quarter have 800,000 credit points. No matter the production of wheat and rice or the breeding area, just planting the white crystal, in two or three years, can earn a Qinghe Farm.

And this was only in Blue Island internal shipment, if caught up with the federal cargo ships to harvest, the profit can triple again! If you can sell a catty for 9 points, the total benefit this month can reach 240,000.

Unfortunately, the federal cargo ship was famous for its huge cabins, extremely slow speed and it's also a Star Ship cruising the Milky Way; therefore, it can come to Blue Island once a year. As to which month, it was still uncertain.

The long-term storage of the white crystal will cause a series of problems, such as energy loss, its colour turning yellow and shrinking in size, so it's difficult to accumulate one-year of shipment.

Therefore, although the profit was much lower, most of them still chose to ship in Blue Island.

But when it comes to storing the white crystal, Yuan Xi feels a little bit moved. He thought of his package. Don't know if it has the function of keeping it fresh. Thinking of this, he decided to go back and try it at night.

Wang Qingnian's harvest of white crystal didn't catch up with the federal cargo ship, but he has always been open-minded, and if he had been tangled in that huge profit for half a year, it would be more annoying.

It was better to leave it out of the plan, thinking of the 80,000 harvests a month as the basis, and the extra 160,000 was picked up in addition, so if you think about it, wouldn't you feel much better?

The delivery process was not complicated. It's just a matter of thinking, paying more attention and following up. Wang Qingnian's goods were all of the best quality, so there was no need to classify them. They are all of the same prices. As long as the weight was calculated, there was no big problem.

This was a busy day, and the days had passed so fast that half a month had already passed. In half a month, Wang Xueqing was going to report to the school. Wang Qingnian counted the dates, and in those days he should be gone, and he handed over all the things that could be handed over to Yuan Xi, so he booked a ticket for departure in three days.

In just one month, the two got along very well, especially Wang Qingnian and Yuan Xi, and their feelings were nothing to say. Wang Qingnian was a good-natured, well-planned, and tactful person, but in fact, he was very picky and eager to do things. Sometimes when he sees the slow things of stupid people, he tends to lose his temper.

(t/n: it's kind of like there is no need to talk about their feelings because it obviously very good)

However, he has never lost his temper once during his month with Yuan Xi. It was inevitable that he would stumble in teaching students such a thing. However, when teaching Yuan Xi, he only feels two words: happy.

The boy's face often hung with a smile, which made people feel comfortable. He was diligent in learning things. In the end, he was able to draw inferences from other examples and sum up his own experience, which Wang Qingnian felt that he benefited greatly from time to time.

Everyone gets along harmoniously, but when it comes to separation, it feels very unpleasant.

Yuan Xi said to Wang Qingnian: "Uncle, come to my house, I'll cook, let's have a good meal together!"

Wang Qingnian naturally didn't say anything, and said aloud: "Okay, okay!"

Lin Suyun also said: "Please call your sister-in-law. We can sit together. We are not so constrained. Your sister-in-law and I have hit it off. We didn't talk enough last time."

Wang Qingnian's wife had a quiet temperament, who rarely makes public appearances. Wang Qingnian used to think of taking her out, but she was really not used to it. Later, she stopped slowly. She still wanted to have a comfortable life. He didn't want to force her.

But last time she came to Yuan Xi's house, she was in a good mood. Lin Suyun had a lot of experience in dealing with people, and she made people feel comfortable talking and doing things. Therefore, when she heard that she was going to Yuan Xi's house, Wang Qingnian's wife nodded.

Yuan Xi had been busy with the farm these days and had not been able to cook some good dishes. At the moment, he was idle and it took a lot of thought.

Because last time he found out that he was proficient in cooking different dishes, so at the moment he had made some different dishes, and because he made preparations in advance, he also knew more about the ingredients here and made several dishes with extraordinary flavour.

The main course was the secret sour and spicy fish, chestnut roasted chicken wings, golden needle and jade bamboo shoots chicken liver, fried potato and shrimp balls, and finally a colourful vegetable stir-fry.

Three side dishes were also served, namely carrots with silver teeth, pickled chicken feet, and a spicy peanut for Wang Qingnian and Yuan Yucheng's when drinking wine.

Taking care of the three ladies, Yuan Xi also carefully prepared a steamed pumpkin with red dates and lilies, a red bean milk soup, and a seasonal fruit salad made from diced fresh fruits from his orchard.

The last was the fresh mushroom soup with good colour, smell and taste.

Yuan Xi spent his mind and effort on this table of dishes. Of course, he also won the cheers of the whole house. They washed their hands one by one and they waited to enter the table for dinner.

During this busy time, Yuan Xi's cooking skill proficiency had increased by 12 points, which had reached 70 points in total, which was quite fast-rising.

He looked at it with satisfaction, with this thing hooked, it looked strong, he expected to be rewarded with something after upgrading.

Needless to say, this meal was a feast for all the guests and hosts. Lin Suyun asked Yuan Xi not to drink this year. He was really a little greedy at the moment, but Lin Suyun had been staring at him all the time. He was sticking out his tongue. He was determined not to disobey.

Wang Qingnian and Yuan Yucheng drank a lot, and the more they drank, the happier they became. Sitting together, they can't help but talk a lot. Yuan Xi was always smiling beside them. It was a great joy to serve tea and water, and it also pleased the two elders.

The three ladies finished eating early, helped to clean up the dishes and sat together, chatting and teasing Xiao Yuanzhe, they were all at ease, without any restraint.

However, there was no such thing as an endless banquet in this world. No matter how well you get along with each other, you have to part after all.

Wang Qingnian unavoidably felt some emotion. Yuan Xi comforted him: "Uncle Wang, don't have to be so emotional. If we want to get together again. There are still opportunities in the future." In the end, he paused and solemnly said, "I'm still young and will definitely go out and take a walk. The Milky Way is so big, that it's forbidden to be on this Blue Star all my life."

Listening to this, Wang Qingnian was stunned at first, but then he showed his ambition in plain words. He looked at Yuan Xi. Although he knew that this boy was not a thing in the pool, at that moment he really felt the three kingdoms of Wu Ao.

He took a quick drink and said loudly, "Okay, good! Kid, remember what you said. "

Yuan Xi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, I won't forget."

When the Wang family went back, Yuan Xi remembered something and asked Lin Suyun, "Mom, where was this Federal First Agricultural University?"

Lin Suyun glared at him: "Silly boy, this you don't even know, it is in Beijing Star."

"Er … Beijing Star …" Yuan Xi was silly.

Lin Suyun thought carefully, seeing Yuan Xi like that, and then looking at Xiao Yuanzhe's appearance resembling the Ye family, she immediately understood something, but if Yuan Xi didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask much.

But then Yuanxi asked again: "No, they have to go to Beijing Star for eight months, so can they catch up with the report?"

Yuan Yucheng drank a little too much. He was confused at the moment and wanted to sleep. Hearing Yuan Xi's words, he immediately smiled: "This silly child, Beijing Star is far away from Blue Star, and it will take at most ten days on a high-speed passenger ship."

Yuan Xi froze and said, "How? We … we sailed for eight months. "

Yuan Yucheng said: "That's not the same. We didn't set a route at that time, and we squeezed into the distorted space. We didn't know how many times we went inside before we jumped out of it and landed in the outer space of Blue Star."

Yuan Xi realized that he had always thought it was a full eight-month voyage from Blue Star to Beijing, so he decided that until he and Xiao Yuanzhe's other father died of old age they did not have to communicate with each other. Naturally, no one would rob him of his son.

But only then did he realize that this distance was not as far away as he had imagined, and immediately the alarm in his head went off.

But after a while, he calmed down again, the ten-day trip was really not close. There are countless habitable planets in this federation, he hid far away, and it was impossible for him to find him anyway.

Unfortunately, what Yuanxi didn't know was that the maximum speed of a passenger ship can only reach the fourth level of warp speed, while that of a warship above a patrol ship can reach the ninth level of warp speed, which was not the same level of speed at all…

Of course, he did not know that his whereabouts had long been exposed.

When Wang Qingnian's family left, Yuan Xi had to take care of the whole farm by himself. Fortunately, the previous month's study made him well aware of the operation of the farm, and he was familiar with the long-term workers, which made the operation less difficult.

But even so, he was too busy to take over at the beginning. The family moved to the small building on the farm, which was more convenient.

After two months of busywork, he saw that the wheat and rice were ready to be harvested, and that batch of fire antelope cubs had grown up.

Wang Qingnian's family, who was far away in Beijing Star, had settled down for a long time. Wang Xueqing had been in school for a month. Although she was an outsider, she was beautiful and had Wang Qingnian's advice. She was also very considerate in life. Therefore, she made one or two good friends early. She usually attends classes together and leaves school together with them on weekdays.

This day, Wang Xueqing and Su Nian'er, a friend of the same department, went to school together. Because she stayed up late last night to do an experiment, Wang Xueqing fell asleep in the school bus, it was Su Nian'er who woke her up that made her get out of the bus in a hurry.

Who knew that when getting off the bus, the sun shook her eyes and made her head dizzy. Su Nian'er left her cell phone in the bus and hurried back to get it, without caring for her.

Wang Xueqing took a few steps in a daze, and bumped into a man. She apologized quickly, looked up, and when she saw the man's appearance, she was dumbfounded.

At this time, Su Nian'er also hurried over, she also saw the opposite man's appearance, immediately exclaimed aloud: "Xue Qing, this, this … this is the father of that beautiful child!"

The author has something to say: Hey, hey, hey hey [you hey a ball of yarn!

Chapter 17 Ye Huai

Wang Xueqing immediately grabbed Su Nian'er, her usual peaceful expression changing to give the other a sharp look. Su Nian'er's heart was shocked and she immediately became speechless and tightly shut up, no longer making any noises.

Wang Xueqing's face then returned to normal. She apologized to the strange man again and then picked up her things, turned around and left without even the slightest pause.

Almost as if nothing had happened at all.

Unfortunately, Ye Huai was extremely sharp-eared. He perceived the moods that transmitted between the two and heard everything the long-haired girl had said.

However, the amount of information was really too much. The unrestrained and accomplished Ye family's third young master at this moment was a little shocked.

What do you mean "this is the father of that beautiful child?"

What was this trying to imply? Ye family's third young master, who had entanglements and complications with women from birth, was frozen. You don't want to be such a scammer, do you? If what she said was taken literally, wouldn't that mean that he had accidentally become a father?

He was shocked! Completely shocked! For the first time in his life, the peerless Ye family's third young master now understood what it felt to be shocked. This piece of new information was going to toss him to death.

No, no, Ye Huai quickly calmed down, it was not a matter of carelessness, it needed to be clarified! It was related to his good life in the future. If the old man knew that he had a grandson, he would have to thoroughly say goodbye to all the lovers in his life. Letting him keep the same woman all day long, it would be better to die!

Although Wang Xueqing's face was neutral, her heart was stormy. The delicate eyebrow, eyes, nose bridge and mouth were all too similar. If someone says there was no blood relationship, who would believe it?

But Xiao Yuanzhe was Yuan Xi's son. How could he be so similar to another man? Wang Xueqing pondered for a day, thinking about good and bad things. At last, she even thought of Yuan Xi's potential abduction of other people's children.

However, she had always been thoughtful. Yuan Xi had never mentioned anything about Xiao Yuanzhe's mother so they don't know what the situation was, but it probably was not a very good thing. The relationship between their family and Yuan Xi was good so naturally they would not harm him. Wang Xueqing regretted it and she blamed herself for being too careless.

She really liked Xiao Yuanzhe. Her mobile phone was full of adorable photos of the little guy. She was accidentally seen by Su Nian 'er. Su Nian 'er couldn't help but ask some questions. Xiao Yuanzhe was liked by people. Wang Xueqing was delighted that she couldn't help but talk a little more. She talked about how lovely and beautiful the child was.

This time she actually encountered an enlarged version of Xiao Yuanzhe, but really…

Wang Xueqing was upset but she didn't panic. Instead, she immediately went to Su Nian'er and told her not to talk about it. She made up a story about the attack of a scumbag man who cried ghosts and gods.

Su Nian'er's character was a silly elder sister type. Otherwise, she would not have said it so quickly. When she heard Wang Xueqing saying that, she also regretted her big mouth but swore that she would never let out any details. She could not let the slag man look into it or the consequences would be unimaginable! But how could he be so handsome… Ah, it's really a waste of beauty…

Wang Xueqing went home and told Wang Qingnian what happened and she also told him what she had done. Wang Qingnian was very relieved by his daughter's actions. Although she has been thinking by herself, she was very capable of making appropriate decisions on major issues. In case of an accident, it would be reasonable that she couldn't react at first but she didn't reveal any more words afterwards.

Wang Xueqing asked Wang Qingnian, "Do you want to tell Yuan Xi about this?"

Wang Qingnian thought for a moment and said, "I'll tell your Uncle Yuan tomorrow to let them know."

Wang Xueqing nodded.

In the evening, Wang Xueqing looked at the photos and images of Xiao Yuanzhe on her mobile phone. She hesitated and did not want to delete them. However, she could not put them on her mobile phone so she moved it into a hidden storage device and saved them.

Wang Xueqing was indeed a thoughtful girl and was also safe in her actions. It's reasonable to say that her actions were already in place. Unfortunately, she didn't understand the origin of who the opposite party was.

Ye Huai recalled Wang Xueqing's last look and knew it would not be easy to start with the girl, but there were more tricks in the dark than in the bright.

It didn't take long for him to get the photos and images carefully hidden by Wang Xueqing, successfully intercepting the message sent by Wang Qingnian to Yuan Yucheng [HP] and reading the full text.

When he saw the pictures, he was completely shocked.

If this child was not of the Ye family, he would not bother his father, and break his own leg!

This face, wasn't it too similar!

His eldest brother was only fond of men and would definitely not be able to have a child while Ye Huai himself was a notorious philanderer. It was very obvious how the child came out.

Ye Huai's regret was that he always met with ghosts after walking through the night. He had always been careful and cautious. How could he have planted it?

He stared at the pictures and images. The child inside looked about two or three months old. He was a fair and cute little baby.

For two or three months, he carefully recalled his love affairs. Xiao Hong, Xiao Hua, Xiao Min, Xiao Li, Xiao Jie, Xiao Cai… going over all of them, just who was it!

Damn, this was really a big play. Ye Huai couldn't sit still. He immediately booked a ticket to the Blue Star for tomorrow. He wanted to see the child, his mother and who it was!

Before he left, he hurriedly went to find his eldest brother. His eldest brother was a real workaholic. He didn't even have to think about where he was at that time. He was at headquarters.

Pushing through the door and rushing in, his eldest brother asked him without looking up, "What's wrong again?"

This matter was still uncertain and he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he just daringly said, "I'm going to travel far away."

Ye Heng stopped his work, looked at him, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ye Huai did not dare to say his destination so he only said vaguely, "Brother, don't ask. I have something, something important, it's something important, not for fun."

What he said was vague and his eyes dodged. Ye Heng was interested in seeing him like that. "Why? Is this an admission that you used to go out to play? "

Ye Huai was used to being arrogant outside, but he was only afraid of his father, his mother, and his brother. At that moment, he was even more haunted. Finally, he lowered his charming head and softly said, "I, I… will work hard in the second half of the year and will not go anywhere!"

It was really hard for the Ye third young master to spit such words out of his mouth.

Ye Heng had a lot of things to do on hand and had no time to amuse him. Ye Huai had long been an adult. Although he was a bit bohemian on the surface and informal, he still had his own ideas on business. Ye Heng didn't worry about him very much, and just left it and said, "Come back early, don't delay on Dad's birthday."

Ye Huai nodded and left.

Yuan Xi knew nothing about what happened on the remote Beijing star. He was busy preparing for the harvest.

Under normal circumstances, wheat would mature 3 to 5 days earlier than rice. This interval was convenient for harvesting crops as it would not cause delay and would minimize mistakes.

However, Yuan Xi was in some trouble this time. He just caught up with the maturity of the white crystal. In this way, he would inevitably be in a hurry.

Wheat harvesting could be fully mechanized but it also needed to be watched carefully, especially since this was the first time he had harvested wheat since taking over. Naturally, he should pay more attention to it to avoid any mistakes.

On the white crystal's side, it was the most labour-intensive, if he was even a little careless, the loss would be even greater.

Fortunately, Yuan Yucheng was there. Yuan Xi discussed with Yuan Yucheng and finally set Yuan Yucheng to look at the harvest of the white crystal. But Yuan Xi hired more people this time and resolutely refused to let Yuan Yucheng go to the fields. Yuan Yucheng couldn't move Yuan Xi's opinion and so could only acquiesce..

Yuan Xi took care of the wheat. Zhao Zhao rushed to help and was slapped back by Yuan Xi. Zhao Zhao's family was also harvesting. He was not busying at home and ran here to help him instead.

Although Zhao Zhao's father didn't expect him to help either, if he could go home and even help a little, he as a father would be happy. Yuan Xi promised to teach Zhao Zhao a few tricks after the harvest so the boy went home to work.

Cai Wen, a former neighbour of Yuan Xi's family who lived on the Blue Star together with them, learned that Yuan Xi's family had bought a farm, so he took the initiative and asked to come to work. He was smart and hardworking, but he was a little younger. However, his family had a lot of expenses. He came to Qinghe Farm to work as a temporary worker during the holiday. It was also a good thing for him to earn some extra money.

Yuan Xi naturally wouldn't refuse, and because Cai Wen was anxious about Yuan Yucheng's car accident before, he had always been grateful in his heart, so he always pointed out Cai Wen intentionally or unintentionally. Cai Wen wanted to learn from him and Yuan Xi taught him how to do things easily.

Yuan Xi has taken care of a batch of white crystal stones before, but the accumulated proficiency of the planting technique was too slow. When he first harvested the white crystal, he gained 30 proficiency points. The second time, it was only 10, which was really pitiful.

This time, if he switched to harvesting wheat, he might get more proficiency. However, this time it was all mechanical harvesting. It was also a matter of whether the proficiency would be accumulated…

However, there was no other way to do it either. As the crops mature, it would not wait for anyone. In the end, the wheat harvest would be delayed and the rice harvest would also be delayed, in a series. It would be too uneconomical to move back the harvest this year.

The rented machinery was commonly used and the three long-term workers were used to it. They were very skilled. Yuan Xi didn't go to the fields and just looked. The machinery was far more advanced than the harvester he saw in his last life. It was a complete one-stop service, clean and fast.

As long as one walked over, not only was the wheat well harvested, not even the stems of the wheat would stick out. All one had to do was wait to fertilize and plant again, which was very convenient.

Yuan Xi thought to himself, thinking that when he has money, he would definitely buy a whole set of equipment by himself.

Because it was mechanical harvesting, the wheat took only one morning to finish. Then everyone was busy planting in the afternoon and everything was all done in a day.

Yuan Xi was also delighted to find that although he did not go to the fields, his proficiency increased by 30 points. Was it possible that mechanization and employment of workers could also gain proficiency?

This was a pleasant surprise.

The next day, everyone started to prepare to harvest the rice. It was also mechanized and it was a neat, simple and quick process.

After that, Yuan Xi went to the place where the white crystals were to collect the last part of the harvest and was busy until it was dark. The crops were completely harvested.

Looking at the heavy wheat, snow-white rice, and full-sized white crystal, Yuan Xi was very satisfied, though tired.

After shipment, the planting area would be free and need not be maintained all the time.

Yuan Yucheng and Yuan Xi were busy those days. Now that they were free, Yuan Xi suggested that the family go out for a day or two.

This was Blue Star. He hasn't seen its beautiful scenery yet.

Lin Suyun and Yuan Yucheng naturally agreed and although Xiao Yuanzhe wasn't able to speak yet, he was already five months old, so it should be fine to take him out to play.

So, the next day Yuan Xi went to the farm to explain, and the family began to pack.

But before they even got a chance to leave, they were found.

The author has something to say: ＞ This speed of development, am I looking for a beating…

However, we must remain calm and save our strength, there are more twists and turns ahead so please don't facepalm so soon~

Ps: Let me introduce you. Ye family's third young master is Ye Huai. He is Ye Heng's younger brother and alsoYe Xiaogong's little brother. Ye Xiaogong has appeared in this chapter… Although it is only for a little bit…

Chapter 18 Talking

Ye Huai did not dare to speak out about such a big event. He didn't even dare to tell He Lianan, his exclusive stylist, assistant, secretary, manager and bodyguard.

Packing his luggage sneakily, he reluctantly chose ten sets of clothes along with corresponding accessories, and packed a full box. Although his box was automated and could walk, the bulk of it was really not small.

Because his clothes were all professionally customized high-end models, all of them were expensive. They couldn't be folded and could only be hung. This box looked like a mobile wardrobe.

But even so, he was very worried that his hair accessories couldn't be matched with corresponding hairstyles. His gorgeous style would be greatly discounted!

It's just… ah. Ye Huai sighed, the world was pressing him on, at such a critical moment, he can only temporarily wrong himself first.

When he was ready, he went to the port in the dark, early morning in order to hide from others' eyes and ears. Because he reserved a first-class cabin, he could board the ship in advance and take another nap.

Ye Huai hasn't been onboard passenger ships for a long time, especially for a full week's journey, which he hadn't been on for many years. Suddenly, he felt quite happy.

On the passenger ship, he met a sexy hot girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, a big chest and thin waist; she lived quite well, but at the thought of having a son at a young age, and perhaps even stepping into the grave of marriage, he suddenly felt as if he were covered with dark clouds.

The ups and downs of this unprepared and haggard life…

He followed the set navigation all the way and found Qinghe Farm without much trouble. Coincidentally, when he arrived at the farm with his wardrobe-like suitcase, he happened to encounter Yuan Xi's family who were going to travel.

When Ye Huai's handsome face emerged from behind the suitcase, all of the Yuan family members were stunned.

Yuan Xi: Motherfucker, he's here!

Yuan Yucheng, Lin Suyun: Looks alike, really looks alike, can't look more alike!

Ye Huai: God, which one was the mother…

When Ye Huai appeared, Yuan Xi's trip was naturally temporarily interrupted. The family returned to the house and invited Ye Huai in.

Yuan Xi said to Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun, "Mom, Dad, I'll talk to him."

They nodded. Although Ye Huai was shocked, he was born with the etiquette he should have, and he wasn't lacking at all.

Ye Huai and Yuan Xi entered the house. The two sat down face to face, but they were silent.

Yuan Xi looked at the man in front of him, his eyebrows were too similar to Xiao Yuanzhe, and now he had come to face him again. Basically, he was sure that he had been with him for a long night. Yuan Xi thought of this and felt a little embarrassed… He didn't know what to say.

And Ye Huai's mind also wondered, what was this? Why was this man talking to him? Where the fuck was the baby? Dared to give birth to the child but also dared not see him? And who was this kid? The child's uncle?

His heart was full of doubts, and Ye Huai also didn't know what to say.

The two were deadlocked for a while, but Yuan Xi said first, "I don't want to talk about the past."

Ye Huai froze for a moment, what was this situation? Why does this brother-in-law sound like he was facing a client? At the same time, Ye Huai was puzzled…

Seeing Ye Huai's silence, Yuan Xi took a deep breath and finally said what he wanted to say the most, "The child is mine, and I would raise him well…"

Before Yuan Xi's words were finished, Ye Huai was surprised. His face was shocked and he interrupted Yuan Xi's words, "What did you say?"

Yuan Xi can understand Ye Huai's surprised expression. Although it was a futuristic society, it was still very strange that a man could have children. It was no wonder that he would be surprised. So, he said it again, "The child is mine, I'll take good care of him."

Ye Huai heard it clearly this time, but what he thought was quite different from Yuan Xi's.

He was a normal person, plus he had never had any relationship with Yuan Xi, so he would never even think that men could have a baby. What he was thinking was: What does it mean for a child to belong to Yuan Xi? The child has only one father, so that has nothing to do with him! The child was not his!

As for why it was so much like the Ye family, Ye Huai also realized instantly. Ai ma… What a wonderful misunderstanding, the feeling was like it's his second sister's child…

Yes, the Ye family had three children, the eldest was Ye Heng, the third was Ye Huai, and the only girl comes in second with a single name and a single character.

Eldest brother Ye Heng was the most steady and stable, and his ability was very outstanding. Since childhood he has been in the barracks, and even at a young age he reached his position with a long and excellent record. He was the youngest major general in federal history. He was Lao Ye's most favourite son, only that such an excellent child didn't like women… Although now at this age, sexual orientation was very open, Ye Lao still had some regrets…

The third child, Ye Huai has the most outstanding appearance, but he was far from reliable. Relying on his face and family background, he falls in love and goes like rain and wind. He didn't know how to write the word "moral integrity". The eldest brother didn't like women, and the third brother likes women too much. Lao Ye was so worried, why couldn't he balance it out?

The only girl came in second, named Ye Rong. Although she was a girl, she was the most unreliable. Although Ye Huai was unrestrained, he had his own network, and with his mouth's ability and magical affinity, still holds important positions in the Federation.

But Ye Rong, that girl, was like a wild horse that ran away. After coming of age, the number of times she returned home was very small. You want to discipline her? Please, with that skill, even ten men can't handle her, you simply can't stop her…

But at this moment, Ye Huai was very confident that he knew the truth. Using his second sister's character as a basis, immediately he was full of sympathy for Yuan Xi, this lady's husband.

As long as he thought of the child as not his own, he would be completely relieved. Since he was in a good mood he took a good look at Yuan Xi. He felt that their second sister's vision was very good, such a good boy was ruined by her, tut tut… So he felt even more sympathy…

Based on his sympathy, Ye Huai's attitude towards Yuan Xi was much better. He finally confirmed, "Are you the father of the child?"

Yuan Xi's feelings didn't appear on his face, but in his heart he mouthed, 'Nonsense. Although I gave birth to him, this person is both his father and mother. If you dare to speak it out loud, I will beat you!'

So he said rightfully, "Of course."

Hearing this answer, Ye Huai was relieved.

Yuan Xi quickly added, "The child has my surname and will only follow me in the future."

Seeing Yuan Xi emphasizing this issue, Ye Huai was very touched. The strong personality of his second sister was more domineering than a man. This boy seemed to know it fairly well, so that's why he always emphasized that the child was his, with his surname.

Ye Huai thought his second sister was unreliable, but she was a woman, since she gave birth to this boy's child, it's estimated that she also has him in her heart, the child must follow his father's surname. Look at that posture, his second sister didn't know where to go, the child with his father was better than with his grandfather.

Weighing it over again and again, Ye Huai felt that as a young uncle, he could still be make decisions, so he said generously, "Naturally the child belongs to you."

Yuan Xi didn't think it would be so easy to talk to him. He was so stunned that his words eluded him…

However, since Ye Huai said so, he was relieved and finally understood something. He did not have any feelings for Ye Huai, but his son was his heart and he would never let go.

He has never talked about love or been married, but he experienced firsthand the problem of the ownership of a divorced child. He was really quite avant-garde and reborn. But for the sake of this success, he would not be so entangled.

Ye Huai looked at the situation of the Yuan family with his own eyes. Although he was used to a luxurious life, he wasn't unaware of the sufferings of the world. At present, it seemed that the situation of the Yuan family was very good. This young lady's husband also looked responsible and his own son would not be mistreated.

However, he still said politely, "If anything comes up, I can help you, just let me know and I will do my best." He said, and passed his communication code to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi looked at it and somehow knew that his name was Ye Huai. He accepted it, but in his heart, he thought that he didn't want to be involved with him again in his life. It was fine to live without seeking him out.

But on the surface, he still had to pretend,"Thank you."

Ye Huai smiled and thought that the young lady's husband was a wise man. He put down the big stone in his heart and learned such a big gossip. He was in a good mood. When he saw Xiao Yuanzhe, he liked him very much. Ai ma, he became a little uncle just like this. His second sister could really surprise them!

As he teased the little guy, Yuan Xi was watching him the entire time, guarding just like a wolf. Yuan Xi knew the charm of his son very well and was afraid that this cheap father would change his mind temporarily and fight for custody with him.

So he quickly changed the subject and led Ye Huai away.

When they came out of the room, Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun looked anxiously at each other. Yuan Xi smiled and comforted them. "Mom and Dad, it's OK. We've already talked about it."

Lin Suyun was very suspicious, but when she saw that they looked calm and had no arguments or quarrels, it seemed that the problem was really solved in harmony.

Lin Suyun tentatively asked, "Would you like to stay for a meal?"

Ye Huai had integrated himself perfectly into the identity of the younger brother-in-law for a long time. Therefore, he was more polite to the father-in-law and mother-in-law of his second sister, and stayed for a meal. He was good-looking and had a sweet mouth. He was especially good at coaxing women. He coaxed Lin Suyun to be happy. And because of Ye family's tutor, he learned a lot and covered a wide range of things, and was able to talk with Yuan Yucheng.

At the end of the meal, the two sides had both enjoyed each other's company.

After Ye Huai left, Lin Suyun also said to Yuan Yucheng, "This child was very good, but this…"

Yuan Yucheng sighed and said, "Ah, fate is a very good thing. It is also a good thing that he can break up with Yuan Xi peacefully."

Lin Suyun could only leave it like that.

Ye Huai had solved the big things weighing his heart. Blue Star was too barren for him, and he had not met a beautiful woman he liked, so he packed up and rushed back to Beijing Star early.

This time, Ye Huai happened to meet Ye Heng. He hurriedly approached him and said, "Elder Brother, you would never guess but we became uncles!"

The author has something to say: Ye Rong was shot while lying down_(:3∠)_

Seeing everyone's controversial comments, then, let me explain. First, regarding the child's appearance, my son was so big, and he was super like his father, so I dared to write that. Then there was the novel, there must be an exaggeration. For details, please refer to the TV series. Father and son are both actors.

Second, there was no breakthrough on the issue of male birthed children in the future society, that was to say, there was still no way for males to give birth to children. Most of them are from surrogacy. Xiaoshou was an example, which can be understood as recessive androgyny.

Chapter 19

Misunderstanding

Ye Heng entered the house, changed his shoes and only walked a few steps before he was dragged back by Ye Huai.

Uncle? Ye Heng frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" He stopped and stood there looking at Ye Huai.

Ye Huai had been trying to stay calm after learning about the shocking gossip. Now that he was able to say it out loud he jabbered as he explained the whole development.

In the end, he concluded, "If I haven't found out by accident, then we would have just waited for the child to call us uncle."

Ye Heng listened to the whole process and felt that this was not a normal ridiculous thing, but… it's his own little sister, who he's very familiar with. Had it been somebody else, he wouldn't believe it, but it's his little sister…

Ye Heng sighed. Judging from the messes that he had helped her clean up since childhood, it was very likely for Ye Rong to do this.

Ye Heng said to Ye Huai, "Let me see the photos and videos."

Ye Huai said, "Let's go to my room. I'll show you. Brother, you don't know. The child is beautiful and good-looking. I feel like the child looks more like me…"

Although Ye Huai was rumbling, he did not dare to say it too loud. His elder brother has to make his decision about this matter, and he does not dare to speak out.

After entering the room, Ye Huai quickly showed the photos and images from Wang Xueqing's phone.

As soon as Xiao Yuanzhe's bun face appeared, Ye Heng narrowed his eyes… This appearance saved the need for a paternity test.

He reached out his hand to flip through the phone, and the photos were played like a slideshow. There were photos from all angles. Xiao Yuanzhe loved to smile, and looked good. He looked like he was well taken care of, white and plump, and his big dark eyes were filled with energy. The waving little arms and legs were like a little lotus root, white, tender and chubby. Very nice-looking.

At the end, there's a short video, it seemed that someone was teasing the little guy. The little guy giggled and said something that no one could understand. The little fat hand clenched tightly into a small fist and waved it around. Then he accidentally hit his forehead. The little guy didn't know that he was beating himself. He puckered his lips and tears filled his eyes.

The video recorded up to this part. It seemed that someone was picking up the little guy and coaxing him… As for who it was, there has been no face.

This child was indeed likable, Ye Heng's black eyes softened slightly, and his eyes still focused on those photos and took a few more glances.

Ye Huai came over and looked at it again and again, and then said, "Brother, this little guy is even more beautiful than in the photo. When I tease him, he laughs, but he likes me…"

Ye Huai smiled, looked at the photo, and said, "Hey, don't think that this kid looks more like me? Not bad to have the nephew looking like his uncle. hehe. He looks just as great as me. "

Ye Heng has long been numb to his narcissism. He looked at the photos and asked, "Who is the father of the child and where does he live?"

Ye Huai had already inquired about these things, and said, "Little brother-in-law 's surname is Yuan, and his single name is Xi. He lives with his parents and settles on an O-class ocean planet."

Ye Heng frowned slightly and asked, "The name of the planet?"

"Blue Star."

Ye Heng was slightly startled. Oh? What a coincidence? They are also at Blue Star? He asked about the situation in detail.

Ye Huai said cleanly: "The whole family is very friendly. Yuan Xi looks about 20 years old, not bad looking, he's quite pleasing to the eyes. Before I left, I inquired that the boy is quite capable. He ran a farm by himself, and his income was very good. He was raised well. His neighbours spoke highly of him and his family. Brother, don't worry. Although the second elder sister is not reliable in small matters, she still has a good eye for her husband… "

After listening to Ye Huai's description, the little doubt in Ye Heng's heart also disappeared. There shouldn't be any relationship, it must be just a coincidence, and they just so happened to be on that planet.

Aside from this doubt, Ye Heng said: "Can't you contact Ye Rong?"

Ye Huai spread his hands: "I contacted her as soon as I knew about it, but sadly no matter what I tried, the communication failed. I don't know where she ran off to again…"

Ye Heng is not surprised to hear this answer. He nods and says to Ye Huai: "Arrange for someone to go to Blue Star again and invite them to come and meet. After all, it's Ye Rong's child, so our parents should have a look."

Speaking of this, Ye Huai hesitated. He said, "They may not be able to come. I'm not sure how second elder sister had hurt her husband, but he looks like he has no intention of interacting with us. "

"Anyway, make another trip there, and explain to them why we want them to come. Don't force them if they don't want to come though. Put more thought into the gifts we prepare, make sure that it's more exquisite." Ye Heng paused for a moment, then continued, "Since they value the child so much, then they must also have some feeling for Ye Rong. It's not like we (as her family) don't know Ye Rong's temper. If he could tolerate it then that's good. If not, then forget it."

Ye Huai nodded and agreed.

After talking about this topic, the brothers left the house to go to their parents' place. On the way, Ye Huai was curious and couldn't help but ask: "Older brother, did you find your little lover who ran away, has he been found?"

His words were just like a tongue twister, but the two brothers could understand it. Especially since Ye Huai had only heard about it and didn't watch the whole process. Therefore, he was extremely curious.

Ye Heng glanced at him and said calmly, "Behave yourself."

Ye Huai is usually afraid of his older brother, but he didn't do anything wrong, so he wasn't scared and continued to ask: "Older brother, what does the boy look like, it's been a while, and you still remember him …"

Hearing Ye Huai's mention, the brief encounter flashed in Ye Heng's mind, and he smiled lightly: "He's quite good looking, very energetic."

Ye Huai was taken aback: "Ahhhh, older brother, you smiled..you smiled…you smiled. Doesn't our Major General Ye have the nickname that he only laughs three times a year? Isn't our Major General Ye known for only laughing three times a year? Don't randomly laugh. Every time you laugh, that's one laugh less (from the overall count)."

"Boy, I see you are looking for a beating." Ye Heng smiled and gave him a thud.

Ye Huai yelled for pain, but after a while he leaned in and sheepily continued: "Older brother, it can't be that you really like him right? After a day and night? He has that great of a charm? I didn't expect you to be the type to fall in love at first sight…."

Seeing him getting more and more delusional with his words, Ye Heng squinted at him, his legs moved slightly, Ye Huai's eyes were sharp, he didn't know how many times he had been kicked since he was a child, but he immediately ran off after seeing this posture.

Like a fly with no head, he bumped into the man opposite him.

Ye Huai covered his head, looked up, and was facing a pair of familiar dark eyes. When he saw the person clearly, he immediately hid behind him: "Lian'an, hurry up and protect me, my older brother is going to beat me."

He Lian'an was dressed neatly, meticulously, and his handsome face was firm, but his face was too tight and too serious. He allowed Ye Huai to pull, and still gave Ye Heng a military salute to Ye Heng in a standard manner, and shouted in full earnest: "Major General."

Ye Heng also returned a salute, and finally said, "At home, be more casual."

He Lianan responded, "Yes!"

Then, as soon as he turns around, he reaches out to hold Ye Huai's shoulder, straighten him up right. He quickly takes out a comb from his arms, and then quickly starts to take care of Ye Huai's messy short hair.

Ye Huai didn't move his body, but his mouth was not idle: "Lian An, you don't know, I have a nephew, very cute, and look superb like me…"

Blue star.

Because of Ye Huai's visit, Yuan Xi's family's trip was interrupted, but Yuan Xi was in a very good mood. The thing he had been worrying about the most all the time was settled so easily, which really couldn't be better.

Nobody will fight with him to get custody of his son, which is a relief.

But… when Yuan Xi went to bed at night, he suddenly remembered that he should have had Ye Huai make a written document. This is just a verbal promise. What if he regrets it later?

Yuan Xi sighed, he was too excited that he had forgotten such an important matter.

What he didn't know was that if he really thought about it, and even discussed it more in depth with Ye Huai, he wouldn't have such a long incident ago…

A good night's sleep, but the next day, there was a little accident in the breeding area.

Chapter 20

Blue Sea

It wasn't a big deal, but it was quite interesting.

The devil incarnate Su-tou bird in the breeding area had been mistaken for a male bird that could not lay eggs. When Yuan Xi came to visit it, he had almost killed it. Fortunately, this fat bird was discerning enough that it squatted in Yuan Xi's arms and unexpectedly saved its own life.

Hence not only did it have the chance to act all high and mighty in the breeding area, but because mostly it used to squat on the head of the new farmer that the self-proclaimed high-end Su-tou bird could walk with its head held high and chest puffed out.

And today this Fatty 1, who everyone thought was a male bird, actually laid an egg…

When Yuan Xi arrived at the breeding area, he happened to see the Fatty flapping its wings there—the bird's head was high, and all living beings looked at him.

Yuanxi couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand, thinking: Bird bro 2, you just laid an egg. It's not like you became a national hero…

When Fatty saw Yuan Xi, it thumped and jumped and fell into Yuan Xi's arms perfectly. Although its body was fat, its movements were gorgeous and smooth. If it didn't become a gymnast, it would be a waste of its talent.

Yuan Xi smiled and patted the Fatty's head, carrying it over to see the egg it laid.

With this glance, he was a little surprised—this egg was quite different.

The eggs laid by other Su-tou birds were white. In Yuanxi's eyes, they were similar to duck eggs except they were larger but still smaller than goose eggs. It's a type of egg between duck and goose eggs.

However, the Fatty was a special Su-tou bird, so the eggs it laid were quite different as well. It turned out to be a yellow bird egg, about the size of a yellow orange goose egg. It looked very cute.

The long-term workers in the breeding area were very curious, so they gathered together to watch as Yuan Xi walked over to pick up the egg. As he picked up the egg, he stopped abruptly….

It's not that there was something wrong with the egg, but there was a prompt sound in his ear: 'Congratulations, your breeding skill has increased by fifty points.'

Come on! What kind of concept is this!

His breeding skills had been activated for a long time. Only, it was a pity that in that long time period, it had only accumulated ten points. But now that he had picked up the fat bird's egg, it went up fifty points?!

What kind of godly egg is this…

Yuanxi's gaze changed. He looked at Fatty in a new light.

Feifei3, you didn't lay a single egg for ten years, but once you did, you gave others a shock!

The fat bird couldn't understand the surprise in Yuanxi's eyes, but the fact that it was able to lay eggs was enough for it to be proud and arrogant.

Yuan Xi put the yellow egg away. Others watching would see that he put it in his sleeves, when in fact, he put the egg into the package. Although he couldn't figure out what special use the egg had, his proficiency was able to increase so much at once, so it must be something decent.

The fat bird was still acting proud. Yuan Xi thought for a while before asking the long-term workers to take good care of the fat bird. He was not worried about the long-term workers having any opportunistic thoughts—to be honest, the yellow egg was nothing special on the surface.

But it meant a lot to him. This fat bird was like a gold mine 4 now. If it could be used to brush up proficiency, it would be great.

Therefore, Yuanxi's view of the fat bird instantly became different. Who hasn't played games before? This fat bird was like a stupid mini-boss with exploding experience points and was a great weapon for lucky players to use to rush to level up.

It was a pity that this guy's egg-laying frequency was too low. It took so long to lay this one…

Well, even if it took such a long time, it was very cost-effective. One must know that Yuan Xi's breeding skills had only increased by 60 points after such a long time, and it had contributed 50 points by itself.

Yuan Xi strolled around the farm again. The planting area was now at its most leisure time, so he didn't care too much. The long-term workers in the breeding area were used to taking care of them, and there wouldn't be any mistakes happening. However, the fruit trees in the orchard area may mature in half a month, which they needed to pay attention to.

The vegetable garden was relatively small, and the vegetables grew quickly. They would eat what they harvested, and there was enough for the family to eat. If there was more, Yuan Xi would let the long-term farm workers bring some home to eat. It would be troublesome to sell them, so it was better for everyone to enjoy them fresh.

Yuan Xi figured that there would be no problem if his whole family went out for five or six days, since there was also that boy Zhao Zhao. These days because of Zhao Zhao, Zhao Fu, his father, also had back and forth interaction with them several times. Zhao Fu believed that the reason his son was so motivated now was all because of Yuan Xi, so he was extremely grateful.

So when the family went out, Zhao Zhao's family could help them watch the farm. Although Zhao Zhao was not reliable, Zhao Fu was an old farmer, and it wouldn't take much effort for him to deal with some minor problems.

No one came to interfere this time. Yuanxi and his family had made reservations and they wanted to go out and have a good look.

Blue Star was an O-class oceanic planet. The planet was not big, but it was also not too small. It was about five times larger than the Earth. Unfortunately, there wasn't too much land available. Such a big planet could only feed just over a hundred thousand people, which was really not pathetic.

Yuanxi was a legal citizen of a populous country in which a county-level city 5 had hundreds of thousands of people. Hence, it was evident just how barren this blue star was.

With the current development of mankind, outer space had already been developed to such an extent that there were countless planets that could be colonized. Therefore, it had long since stopped suppressing human reproduction, and even actively encouraged it.

Therefore, the number of humans was still increasing, spreading all over every immigrant planet.

The only feature of Blue Star was the large, strange sea city. It clearly had the appearance of the ocean, and there were also beaches, but it just did not flow. It was just like a static picture; beautiful but not entertaining.

After settling on Blue Star, the residents of Blue Star had carried out many studies on Blue Star's sea area, but no matter what, the result was always that it was useless… It couldn't be dissolved, couldn't be used as a water resource, and there were no nutrients in it. The fatal thing was that even the air couldn't be integrated into it, and the extreme lack of oxygen also led to the inability of organisms to survive.

It couldn't be used as a material—it was soft and very inflexible. Generally speaking, it felt like a large-sized pudding. Sadly, at least pudding could be eaten; this thing was not edible …

It was to the point that it could not get any more insignificant or have less value.

However, even if it was insignificant, it was still a bit useful. After wrecking their brains, the Blue Star residents finally discovered that this place could be used as a summer resort. Although this sea area was not high in hardness or flexibility, it was simple for it to carry a person lying on it to play.

It wasn't suitable for when the weather was cold, but when it was hot, the feeling of lying on it was quite good.

Qinghe Farm was located on Blue Island. Blue island was the largest island on Blue Star. Therefore, Yuan Xi's residence was not close to the sea. A well-developed tourist sea area was a three-hours drive.

On this planet, the mode of transportation wasn't your typical motor vehicle, but rather a high-end flight vehicle. It was the kind that could directly fly across the sea; therefore it didn't count as a three hour journey in the end.

Yuan Xi and his family set off really early in the morning and arrived at their destination at noon. Little Yuanzhe was very obedient. He blinked his big eyes and looked around at the many shining places on the aircraft. He was curious and cared about everything. Whenever he heard sounds, he would also turn his little head and look around.

After he was tired of looking around, he wanted to eat. Once he finished eating, he fell asleep in Yuan Xi's arms and did not wake up until they reached their destination.

When the whole family got out of the car, their eyes lit up at the sight in front of them.

Both Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun had already seen the world. Some well-known tourist planets were very beautiful and amazing, such as the Rainbow Planet, Bubble Planet, Floating Planet, etcetera… These professional tourist planets had been completely developed, and they received billions of tourists every year.

Therefore, this feature of Blue Star was nothing in the eyes of the finicky federal people.

However, Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun liked it very much, because it was quiet and simple.

The bright blue sky and icy blue sea water, like two smooth and beautiful crystal mirrors reflecting each other, cast an extremely pure and beautiful color…

In particular, you were able to walk on the sea here; this was simply amazing for Yuan Xi, who was an earthling.

One must know that in this season, all the bathing beaches on the earth were all in the state of placing dumplings into soup. 6 It was hard to imagine such an empty and beautiful scene.

The seashore was a beach with fine, white sand that was very clean and soft. This sea area was the most developed tourist area, but the population of the entire Blue Star was too small, so there were not many people here.

There were some scattered parasols, a few tourists playing on the beach, and a few people walking by the sea.

From a distance, Yuan Xi could see a young girl standing on the azure blue ocean—as if it was a beautiful music box where beautiful music would start playing at any time.

This was really a place that would make people feel relaxed and energized, especially in these hot summer days.

Yuan Xi and his family went to the hotel they had reserved, and after dropping off their luggage, the family took Xiao Yuanzhe to the beach.

Yuanxi was the most anxious. He rushed to the beach with Xiao Yuanzhe in his arms, and looked down at the strange sea curiously. He had doubts when he was listening to the introduction, but now that he had experience and felt it could he agree with the statements..

It was indeed really wonderful, smooth, delicate and elastic, like blue jelly.

As he stepped on it, a stream of cold flowed down to his feet, which unexpectedly calmed him down a lot.

After getting familiar with it, Yuan Xi became more playful. The father and son enjoyed themselves in the jelly pudding-like sea.

Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun were a lot more reserved. They both watched them from a distance, but they were very pleased. It really was the best decision for the family to come out to relax.

Thinking about the stressful days before, the two looked at each other, and it was inevitable that they would be emotional.

After playing for a long time, little Yuanzhe was tired. Lin Suyun took over, fed him milk and coaxed him to sleep. Yuan Xi lay on the pudding sea [named by Yuan Xi himself], and his mind could not help but become active.

If we can dig out a piece of this sea water and bring it back to make a bed… It seems to be a good idea.

It was better to do something rather than only think about it. Yuan Xi grunted and sat up, looking around. There was no one else nearby. To be on the safe side, he squatted on the beach secretly, ready to dig out a piece first.

After digging with his hand for a long time, he hadn't expected that this thing would be quite hard to collect…but who is Yuan Xi? Ever since he received that magical package, a sharp dagger was an item that he must bring with him at all times.

On one hand it could be used for self-defense; on the other hand, it could be used at critical moments like this.

Yuan Xi took out the dagger, stabbed it hard, and it went into the sea water. He turned his hand and cut off an approximately ten centimeter square section of seawater. He had just held it in the palm of his hand, when he heard a sound by his ear: Congratulations, Collection Skill proficiency increased by 1 point.

The author has something to say: Don't worry, little Shou-kun will soon go to Blue Planet to meet his husband. [What] …let me take my time to explain …

That uh, cough, that uh, so ashamed to have to take a leave. My little niece is celebrating her birthday, and I have to go back and accompany her. I guess I won't be able to update tomorrow. See you the day after tomorrow. Muah, love you guys.

肥仔féizǎi: Describing a male youth – A fat person;fatty

~哥 When people call a person/an animal "[first name]-ge" that means to respect him like an older brother, but it can also be referring to a boss/gangster head of something. But the raw had it as 鸟哥 which is like bird bro.

It's not a typo. It is "county-level city". So in the raws, it said "元溪身为一个人口大国的合法公民，一个县级城市就有几十万人口". 人口大国 means 'a populous country', and 一个县级城市 is 'a county-level city'. This sentence is basically saying that in one county-level city(in that populous country) has hundreds of thousands of people inhibiting the area.

Basically it's so hot in the summertime, so the water is like heating up as if they are in the state of boiling dumplings
