Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi admired the scene of carnage over there.

They're so pitiful, but they brought this on themselves.

Holding the warm and cozy Ayu in his arms, Akahoshi fell asleep and had a sweet dream.

*

Time flew by and it was already past the New Year. Chi Xing kept in touch with his family and learned about the power of Cheng Li's family.

That was a member of a certain political party. In the original story, after Cheng Li learned about this, she tried her best to help them abandon their evil ways and successfully break free from that party.

But this time, Cheng Li was so focused on her relationship that she didn't tell her family about any of this.

Chi Xing used this to his advantage, making his elder brother Chi Yang pay attention to the Cheng family's movements, especially in the last two years.

Chi Yang always doted on his younger brother, so naturally he would do whatever Chi Yang said.

In addition, Akahoshi also told his family that he had met a special friend here.

The Chi family was very happy that he made friends, and every time they sent something to Chi Xing, they would also send one to Gu Yuzhi and his grandmother.

This made Gu Yuzhi feel embarrassed, so he could only treat Xingxing even better, even fulfilling some of Xingxing's unreasonable requests.

Because he often encountered live wild rabbits, Gu Yuzhi simply built a shed in the yard to raise them.

Their home was at the foot of the mountain, some distance from the village. The villagers were somewhat wary of Gu Yuzhi, thinking he was a jinx to his parents, and never came to their house.

Apart from Granny Lin, none of the villagers knew that Gu Yuzhi's family kept more than ten rabbits.

Even if he knew, Gu Yuzhi wasn't afraid. At worst, he could take them to sell overnight. But wild rabbits were common, so they wouldn't fetch much money.

They raised them for several months without anyone noticing. Rabbits reproduce quickly, and in just six months, they were able to eat rabbit meat regularly.

During this period, Gu Yuzhi also went to sell it a few times.

Yang Guixiang saved the rabbit pelts from the killed rabbits and made rabbit skin vests for Chixing's parents and older brother.

"You two, wait until you've collected enough rabbit skins before you make them."

Yang Guixiang packed several vests into a bundle, waiting to send them to Chi's parents next time Gu Yuzhi and the others went to town.

"Thank you, Grandma. My parents and older brother will be very happy." Akahoshi looked at the soft and smooth rabbit fur vest, knowing it must be very warm without even wearing it.

When winter came, they all put on rabbit fur clothes.

Chi Xing and Gu Yuzhi also received rabbit fur scarves, which they wore when going out in the snow to keep themselves warm.

Before they knew it, Chi Xing had been in the countryside for almost four years. They had spent several winters together, and Gu Yuzhi had treated him as well as ever for all four years.

Their figures could be seen everywhere in the courtyard, and under their care, Yang Guixiang's health improved.

This year, Yang Guixiang also carried a hoe to remove weeds during the farm work.

This was an easy job for them, who were used to farm work, so Gu Yuzhi didn't stop his grandmother from going.

Yang Guixiang is in her early sixties. People of this age usually have to work in the village. Gu Yuzhi had previously told her to rest because he was worried about her health.

This time, Yang Guixiang and Chixing were weeding on one side, while Gu Yuzhi was hoeing the ground with the other men on the other side.

Chixing wanted to go hoeing the ground with Gu Yuzhi, but Gu Yuzhi chased her back.

Yang Guixiang looked at him and smiled: "Xiao Chi will still weed with me. Don't worry about him. He's used to doing this."

Akahoshi nodded and sullenly continued weeding.

He really wanted to be with Ayu, but every year when he went to hoe the fields, his palms would get blisters, even when he was wearing gloves.

Gu Yuzhi then forbade him to hoe the ground; if he could, Gu Yuzhi would have preferred to send him to cut pig feed.

This delicate girl is not suited for farm work.

When Akahoshi got home that evening, he was still fuming.

His body in this world is really delicate, and the key is that it cannot be interfered with by divine power.

"Show me your hand."

Gu Yuzhi told him to take off his gloves as soon as he entered the room.

Akahoshi sat sullenly on a small stool, preparing to start a fire and cook.

"Sweetie, stretch out your hand so I can see it." Gu Yuzhi knew he was throwing a tantrum again, and was happy to give in to him.

I walked over and took off Akahoshi's gloves; sure enough, her fair palms were a little red from being rubbed.

"Does it hurt?" Gu Yuzhi asked softly.

Akahoshi shook his head: "It doesn't hurt at all."

He's not that dramatic; it's just the physical limitations of this world.

"Then light the fire, and I'll stir-fry some cured meat for you."

Gu Yuzhi took a kitchen knife and cut off a piece of cured meat.

This is cured meat made from the pigs they raised last year. Since Chixing came, their lives have gotten better year by year.

In the second year, I started raising pigs, and I have raised one every year since.

After slaughtering the New Year's pig, half of it is handed over, and the rest is theirs.

Of course, they only had one pig, so they couldn't slaughter it on the spot and hand it over. They could only pay money, or hand over the pig and the higher-ups would give them half the money.

There are only three people in their family. They make the pork they can't finish into cured pork and sausages, and occasionally cut off pieces to stir-fry, which is also very delicious.

Tonight we'll have stir-fried cured pork with vegetables. Adding some pork will make it smell delicious.

Akahoshi could eat two large bowls of rice with this dish.

After the meal, Gu Yuzhi pulled Chixing back to his room and gently applied medicated oil to his palms.

Akahoshi tried to pull her hand back: "Don't apply it, I'm fine."

Gu Yuzhi held his wrist, preventing him from pulling his hand away, and continued to carefully apply the ointment to his hands.

"Your hands are for reading and writing, not for farm work. What's wrong with being a little delicate?"

Gu Yuzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with him, nor did he think Chi Xing was spoiled; on the contrary, he felt even more sorry for him.

This perfectly good young master, why did he have to run off to this rural area to suffer?

Seeing his attitude, Chixing could only agree to do less work. It wasn't like he was short of money, and besides, judging by the time, he would be able to return to the city soon.

Just as he expected, a few days later, the brigade leader called everyone to a meeting at the village entrance over the loudspeaker.

The captain stood on a large rock and loudly announced the information he had received.

A certain political party was defeated, and the college entrance examination will be reinstated at the end of this year.

The educated youth could take this opportunity to return home, and the children in the village could also take this opportunity to take the college entrance examination and study in the city.

Gu Yuzhi and Chi Xing looked at each other. Even though they had heard Chi Xing mention it before, they were still overjoyed when the news arrived.

All he could think about was getting into a good school and leaving this place with Xingxing, so that Xingxing and his grandmother wouldn't have to work in the fields anymore.

They have saved enough money to pay for tuition and even rent a house to bring their grandmother to the city.

After returning home, they told their grandmother the news.

"Grandma, I want to take the college entrance exam at the end of the year with Xingxing," Gu Yuzhi said.

Yang Guixiang was overjoyed: "This is great news! Don't worry about me, I'm perfectly healthy. Go take the exam and get into a good university."

Two months ago, Chiyang sent them two sets of review materials, and they studied them behind closed doors for two months.

Now that the news is confirmed, Gu Yuzhi has stopped going to work and is spending the whole day at home reading.
