The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

The three of them strolled along leisurely, and as soon as they saw the village chief's house, Gou Dan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ran over excitedly.

"Sister Yiyi, you've finally arrived!"

Xin Yi patted Gou Dan's head. "Have you been waiting long?"

"It won't be long. I'm mainly waiting for Sister Yiyi, so I don't feel like it's been long!"

"Our Gou Dan has such a sweet tongue! It seems he can make his older sister feel all sweet without even eating candy!"

Dog Egg shook his head, "It's okay if there's no candy..."

Seeing Xin Yi pull a piece of candy out of her pocket, Gou Dan abruptly changed his story.

"It would be even better if there was some candy! Hehe!"

"You little rascal, here you go, but you can't eat it now, lunch is coming soon. You can eat it later when you're resting!"

Gou Dan solemnly accepted the candy and carefully put it into his pocket. "Sister Yiyi, I'll listen to you. Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for you!"

"Then let's go!"

Gou Dan skipped and hopped ahead, leading the way, while Xin Yi and the other two followed behind, becoming much happier as well.

Upon entering the main room, one sees a table laden with dishes: stir-fried garlic sprouts with cured pork, stewed cabbage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a plate of sausages.

"Grandpa, Sister Yiyi is here!"

"Uncle Zhang, have you been waiting long?"

"Just in time! There's just one soup left. Your aunt will get it. Come and sit down!"

Xin Yi helped Gou Dan sit down, then sat down herself and quickly greeted Liu Mengting and the other two, who were still a little timid.

"Aren't you going to sit down? Are you going to wait for the host to invite you?"

Zhang Laifu noticed their awkwardness and said, "Liu Zhiqing, Fang Zhiqing, since you're here, don't be shy. Just act like this girl!"

Just then, Aunt Zhang came over with a side dish of tofu soup. Seeing the two people standing there, she quickly greeted them, "Sit down, dinner's ready!"

"Okay, Aunt Zhang!"

The two sat down next to Xin Yi.

Seeing their reactions, Xin Yi smiled helplessly, "Meng Ting, are you planning to take that rabbit back with you?"

"No...no, isn't this for the village chief's family?"

"Then why don't you hand it to Aunt Zhang?"

"oh oh!"

Realizing what had happened, Liu Mengting stood up and handed the wild rabbit to Aunt Zhang, saying, "Auntie, this is our catch for today. We're sharing it with you all. You should try some of this wild game!"

Aunt Zhang put down the bowl in her hand, took the wild rabbit, and weighed it in her hand.

"Wow, it's really fat! It's rare to catch such a big rabbit this time of year. Thank you so much, Auntie. But please don't go deep into the mountains again, it's not safe!"

Liu Mengting gets excited whenever this is mentioned.

"Aunt Zhang, you know what, today's experience is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. Fang Yi and I were hiding in the tree, and it was just Sister Yiyi facing the wild boar all by herself. I was so scared that I didn't dare to make a sound!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Fang Yi, who had no choice but to cooperate, saying, "Yes, we were both terrified at the time. We wanted to help, but our bodies wouldn't obey us. We thought we'd be lucky to escape with our lives!"

"Yes, yes, we were all terrified. I'm too fat, I almost couldn't climb the tree. It was only thanks to Sister Yiyi pushing me hard from below that I was able to climb up! I thought Sister Yiyi would come up too, but I didn't expect..."

Liu Mengting looked at the three listeners and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

The three looked puzzled.

"I was about to reach out when Sister Yi turned her back to me. I wanted to call her up, but then I caught sight of the wild boar and quickly covered her mouth!"

"and then?"

Hearing that someone was interacting with her, Liu Mengting became even more excited.

"Then, I saw Sister Yiyi leap onto the wild boar's back, take out an iron nail, and stick it into the boar's back. Then she blinded one of the boar's eyes, and finally stuck an iron nail into the top of the boar's head. The boar twitched a few times and then collapsed and couldn't get up!"

"Wow, Sister Yiyi is so amazing, she can even fly!" Gou Dan clapped his hands and shouted.

Although Liu Mengting's description made everyone focus only on Xin Yi's bravery, Zhang Laifu and his wife still considered the danger at the time.

Zhang Laifu said with a serious face, "Xinyi, you're really brave. If it were a tiger, you'd probably try to fight it like Wu Song did. Wu Song drank several bowls of baijiu, but what did you drink? The best thing you should do is climb the tree with me and wait for the wild boar to leave before coming down!"

Aunt Zhang glanced at Zhang Laifu, signaling him to say less.

"Yiyi, don't think your uncle is nagging. You're a delicate woman, you should protect yourself. Leave these life-or-death battles to the men!"

Xin Yi understood their good intentions. "Auntie, I understand what you and Uncle are saying. I'm pretty good at fighting, definitely no worse than a man. And next time I'll definitely bring a few men with me, not some weakling like Liu Zhiqing who's all show and no substance, hehe!"

"A next time? You little brat, you think you're so high and mighty!"

Aunt Zhang slapped Zhang Laifu on the back. "Alright, let's eat! We still have to go to work this afternoon!"

"Yes, eat first, and you're not allowed to go up the mountain on your own anymore!"

"Oh!"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang urged everyone to start eating, but Xin Yi noticed that not everyone had arrived yet.

"Auntie, aren't Brother Zhang and Sister-in-law Guihua coming out for dinner?"

"Don't worry about them. Guihua isn't feeling well. I had the second son prepare some food for him and his wife to eat in the room. Let's start eating, so the food doesn't get cold!"

Xin Yi and the other two could tell that a lot of effort had been put into this meal. They probably only got to eat such food during holidays, so they were a little embarrassed to take any food.

Seemingly sensing what the group was thinking, Zhang Laifu looked at Aunt Zhang, who immediately understood and picked up her chopsticks to serve food to the three of them.

"Auntie, we can do it ourselves, there's no need to trouble you!"

"No problem at all! The three of you are all heroes. Otherwise, the village would have to wait until the New Year to eat fresh pork. Don't be shy, it's meant to be eaten!"

Although the meal was a bit formal, the guests enjoyed themselves.

Xin Yi and her two companions wanted to help wash the dishes, but Zhang Laifu and his wife quickly stopped them.

"Go back and get some rest, recharge your energy. You'll be starting work tomorrow, so don't hold everyone back!"

Unable to persuade them otherwise, the three had no choice but to say goodbye and head towards the educated youth settlement.

Since there were only three of them, Xin Yi suggested slowing down, as she had something to say.

"When we go back today, it's highly likely that the entire educated youth settlement will know that you're going to be sharing meals with me, so I didn't wait for you for lunch. In that case, when we get back, you should calculate the rations for the next few days and distribute them properly. It's not appropriate to drag this out any longer!"

Fang Yi's expression wasn't too good. She had told Wu Lei about the fact that the three of them were dining together, and everyone knew why the news had spread.

"I think it's a good idea. We already know everything, so separating sooner will save us a lot of trouble! Mengting, what do you think?"

Seeing that both of them were staring at her, Liu Mengting nodded directly and said, "You can decide, anyway, you won't hurt me! Hehe!"
