Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason and quickly said, "I will never leave you, I will always be with you."

The two poured out their hearts to each other, and in the end, Gu Yuzhi put all the money away.

With this money, Gu Yuzhi felt very secure.

I'm glad I was the one who encountered the black bear today; if someone else had, the money might have gone to someone else.

Wild boars roam these mountains, but it's rare to hear of bears, especially one this big; one swipe of its claws could be fatal.

Gu Yuzhi felt a bit scared when he thought about it. Luckily, they encountered a bear and a wild boar fighting. If there hadn't been a wild boar or that trap, what would he and Chixing have done?

After washing up, Gu Yuzhi hugged Chixing and kissed him repeatedly on the face.

"Don't go up the mountain anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."

Since he had already made money, Akahoshi had no objections and nodded, "No, it's dangerous in the mountains."

As dawn approached, Gu Yuzhi was exhausted from the previous night. He had been climbing the mountain and killing black bears during the day, and then walked such a long distance. He was completely worn out.

Hearing Chixing's assurance that he wouldn't go up the mountain, his nerves instantly relaxed, and his breathing became long and even.

Akahoshi hugged him and gently kissed his forehead, placing her hand on his back and channeling divine power to help him relieve his fatigue.

I slept until noon again the next day.

Gu Yuzhi felt refreshed and assumed it was because he had made money.

Seeing Akahoshi come in from outside, he stretched out his long arm, hugged Akahoshi, and kissed her on the cheek.

"Why are you up so early? Aren't you sleepy?"

Gu Yuzhi noticed that Chi Xing seemed to have grown a bit, his physique was more robust, and it seemed that even his pectoral muscles had become visible.

He rubbed the back of his hand against Akahoshi's still soft and smooth face, which was a little darker than before and didn't look as white as a steamed bun anymore.

Gu Yuzhi didn't mind and gave him another big kiss.

Akashi was a little overwhelmed by the kisses; he really hadn't expected that Ayu would be so passionate after she had become more perceptive.

The two lingered in the room for a while, then Chixing went out to get the food, and Gu Yuzhi went to wash up.

"Grandma went to Granny Lin's again?" Gu Yuzhi asked.

Akahoshi nodded: "Yes, I went out after breakfast."

For lunch, Akahoshi made rabbit meat and stir-fried vegetables with lard.

"I'm going to render some lard from the remaining fat, and marinate the pork to make cured meat, what do you think?" Akahoshi asked.

Looking at the food on the table, Gu Yuzhi felt extremely satisfied.

"I'll do whatever you say. I'll take care of it in a bit."

The two spent another day at home before going to the foot of the mountain to chop firewood the next day.

We agreed not to go deep into the mountains, so now we just chop firewood on the outskirts, and if we're lucky, we can catch pheasants and rabbits.

The main reason is that Akahoshi doesn't dare to mess with wild animals anymore. He can easily handle them, but Ayu doesn't know that. Ayu is afraid that he will get hurt.

Winter arrived in the blink of an eye. This year's work points were distributed, and in addition to the grain rations, the money earned throughout the year would also be paid out.

The new educated youth have only been here for less than half a year. Fortunately, they have work points from the autumn harvest to make up for it, otherwise they would have received very little.

Even someone as hardworking as Akahoshi could earn seven or eight work points a day, but in the end, he would only receive sixty dollars.

As expected, Gu Yuzhi earned almost full work points, totaling 230 yuan.

Chixing overheard from the little black cat that Cheng Li only received twenty yuan because he was always lazy, and was scolded by the captain.

Cheng Li was somewhat indignant and wanted to argue with the brigade leader, but the work points were clearly recorded in the ledger, so it couldn't be someone else's problem.

Chixing was considered above average among the new educated youth; he did not participate in any additional labor.

Unlike some educated youth who would gather pig feed to earn work points after starting their regular workday, they did not.

Chi Xing cherished the money he had worked so hard to earn. He and Gu Yuzhi carried the distributed grain and money home.

"Ayu, I earned sixty yuan." This was the first time Chixing had worked so hard to earn money, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

Gu Yuzhi took out the money and counted it again: "Hmm, Xingxing is really amazing, we'll have meat to eat this year."

Gu Yuzhi earned more this year than last year. Last year, because his grandmother fell ill during the autumn harvest and he took care of her for a few days, he only earned 190 yuan.

This year's work points are more valuable than last year's, and he also has more work points, which adds up to several tens of yuan.

He then remembered that his grandmother hadn't had an attack in a long time, and even in winter, she could go out for walks on her own.

Gu Yuzhi suddenly realized that their family's life had been getting better and better ever since Chi Xing came to their home.

Grandma's health improved, and he was able to hunt wild animals every time he went up the mountain, even encountering black bears and wild boars and making money.

Having received so much money again, he couldn't help but think that perhaps Xingxing was a lucky star who had come to his home to bring him good fortune.

Gu Yuzhi looked at Chixing and said seriously:

"Xingxing, you are our family's lucky star."

Chixing was confused, but he didn't deny it: "Ayu can't abandon me, she can't lose the lucky star."

Well, he's even bragging about it now.

With a face full of doting affection, Gu Yuzhi put the money away and then pulled Chixing to cook.

I steamed a pot of rice for dinner, made meat dishes, and stewed pheasant soup.

When Yang Guixiang returned home, Gu Yuzhi told her how much money he had received that day.

When Yang Guixiang learned that the two children had received so much money, she was overjoyed and praised them as good children.

After the meal, Yang Guixiang took out a bundle containing two sets of cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes.

"These are for you to try on and see if they fit."

Yang Guixiang was used to making clothes and could basically guess their sizes.

The two put them on immediately, and only then did Akahoshi realize that the two sets of clothes were the same style but different colors.

Wearing warm and comfortable clothes, Akahoshi happily thanked her grandmother.

Yang Guixiang held Chixing's hand, looked at him with a smile, and whispered, "Good boy, are you happy to come to our house?"

Chixing nodded vigorously: "I'm happy. Brother Yu and Grandma are both very good to me."

"Grandma is getting old, so you'll be the one to keep my Xiaoyu company from now on."

These words startled Gu Yuzhi and Chixing.

Gu Yuzhi looked at Yang Guixiang with a tense expression: "Grandma, you know?"

Yang Guixiang patted Chixing's hand and smiled kindly: "Grandma's eyes aren't blind yet."

"Just one thing, the path you're taking is different from others, so if there are any disagreements in the future, you should part ways amicably."

Chixing repeatedly assured her, "No, Grandma, I truly love him and want to be with him for the rest of my life."

Gu Yuzhi's eyes were a little red. He grabbed Yang Guixiang's sleeve, just like when they were children, and said, "We will take care of you together. We will not be separated."

“Sigh, I’m getting on in years and I’m pretty easygoing, but the people outside are different. You should still be careful when you go out, okay?” Yang Guixiang earnestly advised.

Chi Xing and Gu Yuzhi said in unison, "We know, Grandma, don't worry."

In fact, it's normal for men in this village to play together, even putting their arms around each other's shoulders.

Unless it's something extremely outrageous, no one would think that way.
