The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 246 - 242: Wolf: Just Gotta Nuzzle My Little Buddies
The leader of the livestock station, feeling stirred and apprehensive, sent off the brigade leader and his team.
The journey back was smooth as silk, and there were no incidents of robbery whatsoever.
It’s hilarious.
If they’d been transporting a truck of old hens, someone might have taken the risk. The key is, the brigade leader was transporting two trucks of chicken chicks.
Those fluffy little things, frankly speaking, aren’t even worth the trouble of plucking the feathers off.
"Ran," the brigade leader said to Wen Ran, holding onto her, with a heavy tone, "In the future, when we discipline people, let’s do it back at home."
Wen Ran outside, "What, do you think I’ve caused you trouble?"
"Tsk, you heartless brat," the brigade leader grumbled, "I’m just worried those who don’t know better might spread dumb rumors about you."
"I’m not afraid. Their mouths belong to them. As long as they don’t curse me to my face, I’ll just act like I don’t know."
Of course, if anyone dares to gossip in front of Wen Ran.
Wen Ran would truly admire them for their boldness.
"If that’s how you think, then it’s fine."
The brigade leader sighed, "At the end of the day, I’m getting older, my heart isn’t as broad as you young folks."
"Hahaha, life is about living, whether alive or dead."
Brigade leader: "???"
Hey!
What kind of nonsense is this?
Immediately, Wen Ran added, "Looking lightly at life and death, daring to fight."
Brigade leader: "."
Emm, alright.
This is Wen Ran.
Despite the little incident, today was ultimately smooth.
The little chicken chicks were brought back safely and soundly.
The rest of the affairs, Wen Ran doesn’t plan to meddle with. Initially, the brigade leader wanted to return with Wen Ran, and take a look at Old Wolf on the side.
But looking at those chirping chicken chicks around him, he immediately couldn’t bear to leave.
"Is Old Wolf still at your place?"
"Yes," Wen Ran sighed, "It’s getting older now. Even if it returns, it won’t cause any trouble."
Actually, Wen Ran was planning to let Old Wolf return to the forest once its health improves.
After all, that’s where home is.
"Come on, come on," the brigade leader waved his hand, "Don’t try to fool me, didn’t you say before?
Unable to win the fight, so they, what’s that phrase?"
He racked his brain for a long time, then suddenly had an epiphany.
"Right! Call for backup!"
The brigade leader, full of certainty, "When it’s time, if it returns and calls other wolves, what then?"
Wen Ran: "..."
Oh uncle, you’re really fashionable now, scaring people.
"Hahaha," Wen Ran awkwardly laughed, "It shouldn’t happen. After all, I saved its little life.
Rest assured, even if it seeks revenge, it won’t be able to harm me, okay."
Brigade leader: "..."
He almost went crazy, "You little brat, what we’re talking about isn’t even the same thing."
Even if that wolf wants to harm Wen Ran, it still has to weigh its own strength.
What he worries about is the old and weak of the brigade.
If they encounter trouble, it could end in disaster.
"Alright, alright," Wen Ran brushed it off, "I get what you mean, calm down!
Take it easy, okay? I promise, I’ll never release the wolf intentionally."
"Really can’t release it!" The brigade leader almost wanted to issue a stern warning, if push comes to shove, the brigade would shoulder Old Wolf’s food.
But then, thinking again, the brigade also has two hundred and fifty extra mouths to feed.
The expenses are quite high, so he swallowed back his boastful words.
Oh, well, oh, well.
Wen Ran’s quite capable and fond of animals, adding one more mouth doesn’t seem like too big of a problem.
"Anyway, you handle it first," the brigade leader glanced at the chicks, feeling tempted, "I’m leaving now, no more chatting."
"Okay then," Wen Ran bid farewell to the brigade leader, waved her hand, and then yawned and headed home.
There was no one at home, she unlocked the door, and taking advantage of the emptiness, sneaked into her space, comfortably took a warm bath.
After she felt refreshed, she realized it was time to make dinner.
Wen Ran rolled up her sleeves, went into the kitchen, and started cooking.
Because her place is quite isolated, she often cooks strongly flavored meat and delicious dishes here.
In the evening, Wen Ran didn’t intend to make things complicated; she sliced the lamb from earlier, added water, and let it simmer slowly on low heat.
She then took a cabbage, washed it clean, cutting the stalks narrower and the leaves wider.
Lastly, she blanched it, and set it aside to drain.
Once the lamb is tender and cooked, she added it in with some sweet potato vermicelli, making a big pot full of tasty soup to enjoy.
With the lamb simmering on the stove, Wen Ran didn’t have much to do, so she decided to take flour, knead it into a dough, and roll out some noodles.
Spring plowing is quite exhausting, having something good to eat is perfectly reasonable.
With her strength, she kneaded the dough, rolled it out, and cut it into strips that were chewy and springy.
After everything was prepared, she took a small stove, went out to prepare chicken feed, and cooked something tasty for Hetao and Old Wolf to fill their bellies.
To make chicken feed, she used fish meat. Earlier, she had dried fish bones, dug out the mortar, and crushed them into bits, adding them to the feed for extra calcium.
Hetao and Old Wolf got better food, fresh lamb.
Wen Ran cooked the fish but was too lazy to cook the lamb, so she sliced it a bit and fed the bloody lamb to Hetao and Old Wolf.
Old Wolf had been very quiet, lying in the corner healing from previous serious injuries.
Now mostly recovered, it couldn’t sit still and wandered around the yard.
However, it seemed to understand that it shouldn’t easily go out the gate, so it didn’t approach it.
Watching the two wolves eat happily, Wen Ran patted Old Wolf’s head, muttering, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you die of old age at my place.
The forest, that’s your true home."
Wolves are proud creatures, enduring all these years with stubborn breath, there’s definitely a reason.
Wen Ran sighed, couldn’t help but speak fondly, "In debts, there’s a debtor. You, take it easy in the future."
Old Wolf stared at Wen Ran for a long time before letting out a howl, seemingly agreeing.
Wen Ran patted Old Wolf, "So obedient."
She added some spring water to Hetao and Old Wolf’s water.
The two wolves drank together, gulps after gulps.
Over there, Wen Ran just smiled, then suddenly felt a shadow before her vision.
A dark figure swiftly darted past Wen Ran’s face.
Then, without hesitation, dove headfirst into the water basin.
"Splash!"
A loud sound broke the water, leaving Wen Ran stunned, along with Mr. Wolf.
Songzhu entered the basin, taking advantage of everyone’s confusion, started drinking like crazy.
Chirp chirp chirp~ sweet water.
What’s more, delicious water.
Hetao and Old Wolf snapped out of their daze and quickened their pace in drinking the water too.
