Chapter 208 (continued)

Shi Wen they seemed to know what was going on, so I stopped paying attention to them.

We picked a lot of gourds today, such as pumpkins, winter melons, and loofahs. Shi Wen was thinking that we should make a vegetable rice dish, otherwise they wouldn't be able to use up all these gourds.

Yan Kexing hadn't returned yet, Shi Wen moved a small chair and sat in front of the trash can, first cleaning out the side dishes.

With their wealth, if they didn't want to do similar work, hiring a few people to help them would be no problem at all.

Shi Wen particularly enjoys doing things himself. He always feels a special sense of peace when he does these chores on the ranch, and the days flow by quietly in his busy work.

"Shi Wen?" Yan Kexing walked in from outside and, seeing that the room was somewhat dark, casually asked, "Why aren't the lights on?"

"I forgot." Shi Wen looked up at him. "I was thinking about something and didn't notice. You came back a little late today?"

Now that Shi Wen has become God-Level Abilities User, he can see in the dark without any problem, and sometimes he forgets to do basic things like turn on the lights.

Yan Kexing snapped on the light, "There's a meeting today, the one about increasing plant diversity, which we talked about before. The city has decided to have a batch of seeds sown to artificially increase the variety of plants."

Shi Wen glanced out the window and asked, "Now? It's almost autumn, won't the plants survive?"

Yan Kexing: "Right now, we're just finalizing the project, waiting for approvals, funding, and recruitment. That should take until at least next spring."

Shi Wen, "I always said that if we plant now, the seeds probably won't even grow."

Yan Kexing smiled and said, "Mm."

Yan Kexing over after washing his hands, and together they prepared dinner.

The two chatted in the kitchen, occasionally hearing the chirping of the little ones outside.

Dinner was ready quickly.

Shi Wen them carrying buckets to distribute dinner to the little ones.

They were still playing outside, and this time the trotting horse also came out, running swiftly across the grass in a staggered manner.

Shi Suo and Yan Shi were learning from it.

The horse ran very fast, and although it had a slightly awkward gait, it didn't affect its speed at all.

Shi Suo and Yan Shi were different; their four legs seemed to be out of control, and they started to walk uncontrollably, somewhat like an early video recording of horses taming wild legs.

Shi Wen, watching from the side, couldn't help but smile and casually took out his phone to record a short video.

It's quite rare to see two horses making such a lively scene; it's worth recording.

Just then, the dogs spotted him. "Woof woof!"

Shi Wen casually shoved his phone into his pocket and called out, "Stop playing around, come eat."

All the little creatures ran over to eat, including the herbivores like Shi Suo.

Because the dogs were eating here, Shi Suo and Shi Wen protested, they put out a food trough for them here as well.

While the dogs eat their prepared meals, the other dogs eat hay and dry food. Although the amount is small, it satisfies their need to eat together.

The little ones ran very fast, and when they reached Shi Wen, he realized that Cong Zai was also there.

Cong Zai was sitting upright on Yan Shi's back, and was blocked by Yan Shi's neck, so Shi Wen didn't notice him until he got closer and realized that this guy was actually there.

Shi Wen exclaimed with some surprise, "Cong Zai!"

Cong Zai nimbly jumped off Yan Shi's back. "Meow."

Then, Cong Zai walked to Shi Wen's feet, rubbed his head against Shi Wen's leg, and looked up at Shi Wen.

Shi Wen quickly scratched its chin. "Cong Zai, do you want dinner?"

Cong Zai made another "meow," it seemed he was going to have it.

After feeding the dogs, Shi Wen quickly went back and got a few more pieces of meat for them. She rinsed them briefly with boiling water, then changed the water and used a spoon to mash the meat into a broth for Cong Zai.

The meat is less salty after this treatment, and the Cong Zai is less likely to shed fur.

While Shi Wen processing the meat, the Wolf King kept one eye on his food bowl and the other eye up, staring at Shi Wen and Cong Zai, his expression showing considerable dissatisfaction.

Looking at it, Cong Zai suddenly lifted the left side of its lip, revealing sharp teeth.

Because of the awakening of the White Tiger Bloodline, Cong Zai's fangs are longer and thicker than those of an ordinary kitten. If it bites another animal, it could probably make a bloody hole in it.

The Wolf King wasn't exactly a submissive fellow. Seeing Cong Zai's expression, he initially wanted to lower his head, but halfway down, he raised it again and growled softly at Cong Zai.

Shi Wen reacted quickly, grabbing Cong Zai by the neck and pulling it in front of him. "Alright, we're all friends, don't fight."

At the same time, Heiwa imitated him, pressing his two front paws against the Wolf King's neck. "Woof."

Whether Heiwa was trying to break up the fight or adding fuel to the fire, the Wolf King dared not attack Cong Zai directly, but he had no problem fighting with Heiwa, and the two started biting each other on the spot.

This scene happens every three to five days. Even with Shi Wen education, we can't keep up with it all. We're almost numb to it.

They rarely fight while eating, because if they accidentally knock over their food bowls, it would be a huge loss.

Shi Wen shouted, "Stop hitting him! If you keep hitting him, you'll lose your snacks!"

This sentence was more effective than anything else. Wolf King and Heiwa instantly separated as if nothing had happened and went back to eating.

Shi Wen stood up, rubbed his forehead, and went back to eat.

Shi Wen's mare is very pregnant; her due date is in September, and she should give birth soon.

He had never helped deliver a horse calf before and was somewhat unfamiliar with the process, so he asked Sikewell to come and check it out for him.

After examining her, Sikewell said, "She might not give birth until late September or early October."

Shi Wen looked at the horses and said, "Really? Their bellies are already so big, aren't they due to give birth yet?"

Sikewell comforted him, "Your horse is quite large, and the foal in its belly is also quite big. It'll have to wait a while."
