Chapter 20

Hu Guiqin, a clever woman, took a look at the hoe. It was the good one. She smiled at Xia Yunxuan, and they both understood each other.

After everyone left, Xia Yunxuan checked the tools. She thought the previous person’s record was messy. She rewrote it, checked that none of the tools were missing, locked the door, and went back to her little home.

She went back to her house and entered her space. She continued to practice martial arts with Duan Yue. Her main priority now was to improve her skills.

This era wasn’t as safe as the future. Not to mention the spies and human traffickers, there were many Erlai’s in the village. If she didn’t have some skills, she would be at a disadvantage.

She wasn’t boasting, but her face was dangerous out in the world. Plus, she was now drinking spirit spring water and eating well. Her face would probably become even more beautiful.

With martial arts skills, she didn’t care who it was. If anyone dared to provoke her, she would show them what it meant to be a force to be reckoned with. She wasn’t someone to be messed with.

She practiced with Duan Yue for a few hours, sweating profusely. But she was very satisfied. She was finally making progress. Today, her clothes weren’t torn to shreds by Duan Yue anymore.

Now, with her great strength, she was even stronger than she was in the future. She felt very safe. If she was ever outmatched, she still had her weapons.

Xia Yunxuan looked at Duan Yue and said, “Duan Yue, go check on your wife. Isn’t she about to give birth? I saw her pacing back and forth.”

Duan Yue howled twice and followed Xia Yunxuan to his wife. Soon, Xia Yunxuan saw Yiyi lying down, motionless.

Xia Yunxuan looked at Yiyi and said, “Yiyi, don’t worry. I’m here. You can just relax and give birth to the baby. Yiyi was in a lot of pain. She was probably about to give birth.

A few minutes later, the first little wolf was born. Xia Yunxuan looked at Duan Yue and said, “Duan Yue, you’re a father now. Look, this is your pup.” Duan Yue carefully licked his pup.

The little wolf was quite cute, a gray color. Xia Yunxuan dried the first one and put it away. The second one was born. It was a little black and very beautiful.

Xia Yunxuan said, “Yiyi, you’re amazing. You gave birth to two pups safely. You worked hard. I’ll make you some delicious food later.”

Yiyi nodded its head. Xia Yunxuan said, “Duan Yue, should I give your pups names?”

Duan Yue was very excited. He howled a few times. “Okay, don’t get excited. Let me think of some good names for your pups.” Xia Yunxuan joked, “Duan Yue, how about Dahei and Dahui? I’m too lazy to think of anything else.”

Xia Yunxuan burst into laughter. She saw Duan Yue roll its eyes, like a wolf. Xia Yunxuan stopped laughing and said, “Okay, Duan Yue, I was just kidding. With such cute pups, I’ll definitely give them good names.”

Xia Yunxuan said, “Since they’re twins, let’s call them Yuan Bao and Chen Bao. What do you think, Duan Yue? They’re both male wolves.”

Duan Yue nodded. “That’s better. What was that about Xiaohui and Xiaohui?”

Xia Yunxuan also made some milk powder for the two little wolves. They drank it with gusto. They didn’t even drink their mother’s milk. They preferred the milk powder Xia Yunxuan fed them.

Of course, Xia Yunxuan used spirit spring water, so it was naturally delicious. She made a nest for them to sleep in.

The two little wolves were very cute. After eating and drinking, they lay down in their nest, sticking out their tongues and sleeping soundly.

Xia Yunxuan looked at the time. It was time for lunch. Since she had time, she would cook for herself and also make some for the mother wolf.

She cooked for half an hour. She only ate a bowl of rice and some vegetables. The rest was eaten by the two wolves. They were very hungry. After they finished eating, they still looked at Xia Yunxuan expectantly. Xia Yunxuan had no choice but to take out some cooked food from her space and feed them some more.

Xia Yunxuan cleaned up and went out of her space. She had to go to the village and ask if they sold baskets, tables, and chairs. She needed to buy some. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have a table to eat on.

She was just about to go out when she saw the Captain come back. The Captain said, “Yun Girl, here’s your document to sever ties. I’ve already made a copy and gotten it stamped at the police station. Keep it safe. Don’t lose it.”

“Thank you, Uncle Captain.”

“Don’t thank me. It’s my duty as the Captain. Are you going out? Uncle Captain, I want to go to Uncle Dashun’s house and see if they sell baskets, tables, and chairs.”

“Go ahead. They always have them. You just moved out, and you don’t even have a table. How will you eat? You don’t have any chairs either. Uncle Captain, it’s okay. I’ll just buy them.”

“You little girl, you think things are free? You don’t know how to save money. What will you do when you run out of money?”

Xia Yunxuan just smiled and didn’t say anything. She couldn’t tell the Captain that she was now very rich and had everything she needed. That would scare him to death.

Xia Yunxuan asked, “Uncle Captain, why did you come back so late from town? You haven’t had lunch yet?”

“Sigh, don’t even get me started. It’s all because of those educated youths. They were so slow buying things in town. As soon as they saw the ox cart, they started complaining. They said we didn’t send a tractor to pick them up. They didn’t even take us educated youths in the countryside seriously. They complained the whole way. They didn’t want to walk.”

“They complained that our ox cart smelled bad and wasn’t clean. They blamed us for not preparing enough ox carts, so they had to walk. They didn’t even have a seat.”

“I thought, ‘These people are so fussy. Should I send them back to the educated youth office? I don’t want those troublemakers.’ I saw that other teams were having the same problems. That’s why I brought them back.”

“You don’t know. As soon as they got here, they started complaining about the educated youth center. They were picky and said the house was so rundown. Their toilets at home were better than this house. How could they live here? The rooms were so small, and there were so many people. It smelled so bad.”

“What did you do, Uncle Captain?”

“Humph, they’re all spoiled. They think they’re here to enjoy themselves. If they don’t want to stay, they can leave. If they don’t like it, they can pay to build their own house. I don’t care.”

“If they don’t want to stay at the educated youth center, they can’t go stay at someone else’s house without permission. If anything happens, they can’t come to me, the Captain. I’ve told them that.”

“Anyway, that’s it. If they don’t like it here, they can apply to be transferred. Otherwise, they can go back to where they came from. I’m exhausted from working all day, and I have to deal with their nonsense. They’re so idle.”

“Haha,” Xia Yunxuan said, “It seems like they were all pampered young ladies at home. They haven’t been beaten by society yet. They don’t know the hardships of ordinary people.”
