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

Zhang Laifu exhaled smoke rings, a faint smile appearing on his face as he seemed to be thinking of his youth. "Then you'd better work hard!"

"I believe I haven't misjudged you, Uncle. I'll go to work as usual tomorrow morning, but I might have to leave a little early in the afternoon to go up the mountain and get some wild game to cook at your place. You know there are too many people at the educated youth settlement, and I don't want them to take advantage of me. But I have to bring Liu Mengting with me. What do you think?"

"Alright, alright, you're so inconsistent, you'll only start crying when it's time to distribute the grain."

"It's alright. I should get back to the newspaper and magazine soon. I'm pretty confident I'll be selected, which will give me a decent income every month. I'm planning to mainly hunt in the mountains from now on, and do some light work to make ends meet."

Seeing Xin Yi's confident demeanor, Zhang Laifu was also happy for her, but he still said, "This is still far from certain, and you're already thinking so far ahead. You're here to build up the countryside, not to play around. Focus on your work!"

"Alright, it's getting late. I'm taking the little chubby girl's food back now. You should get some rest too!"

"Alright, alright, your Aunt Zhang has already packed the food and put it in the kitchen. Take it with you when you leave."

When Xin Yi arrived at the kitchen, Aunt Zhang had already finished preparing everything.

"Auntie, I'm taking Liu Mengting's food home now. She'll be coming over for dinner again tomorrow night, so don't bother me!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, I think you're asking for a beating. It's just a meal, why would I be so fussy?"

He then handed the prepared food to Xin Yi.

"Yes, yes, if you don't mind, then I'll come to eat here every day, at every meal, hehe!"

After saying that, Xin Yi grabbed the food and ran away.

Goodbye Uncle Zhang, goodbye Auntie!

Zhang Laifu heard this and replied, unaware that his wife was considering adopting Xin Yi as her goddaughter. If he had known, he would have given her a thumbs up, as great minds think alike.

Xin Yi returned to her courtyard, where the chubby girl was angry in the kitchen, sometimes crunching on her snacks, sometimes gritting her teeth, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Mengting, I'm back!"

Liu Mengting ignored her and turned her head to the side.

"What happened? Who upset our little chubby girl again? Tell Sister Yiyi, and Sister Yiyi will teach them a lesson!"

Liu Mengting cried and said, "Didn't you say you'd be right back? Why are you only coming back now?"

Xin Yi felt a little guilty. "It's just that the village chief's family was so hospitable that they invited me to stay for dinner. That's why I brought you some!"

Liu Mengting glanced at the food Xin Yi had brought back, swallowing hard, but made no move.

Xin Yi placed the food on the stove and seemed to smell a burnt smell. She took a careful sniff and then lifted the lid of the pot to take a look.

"Holy crap, what kind of culinary disaster is this?"

As she spoke, she looked at Liu Mengting, who had no choice but to say, "I was steaming rice here, and when you didn't come back, I fell asleep. When I woke up, the pot was... burnt!"

"Hahaha, so that's what happened. Luckily I've already eaten. It's a minor issue. You eat first, I'll clean up. Stop crying and whining, or I'll beat you up!"

Hearing this, Liu Mengting finally stopped being arrogant and obediently came over to take the food, then began to eat it heartily.

Looking at Liu Mengting's expression, Xin Yi was both angry and amused.

"You need to grow up. In the countryside, someone your age would be a mother. You're still so immature. You can't even cook. Are you going to take your child to restaurants every day?"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Liu Mengting said, "Then I'll learn from you from now on. I was wrong, Sister Yiyi!"

Xin Yi vigorously scooped the rice crust from the pot, then suddenly remembered the dried rabbit she had lost. "Mengting, have you seen anyone eating rabbit meat these past few days?"

Liu Mengting looked at Xin Yi with a blank expression, "Sister Yi, the meals for the educated youth have been very bland these past few days, and there's not a trace of meat in them, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you notice that the dried rabbit hanging under the eaves is gone?"

"I saw it. I thought you took it, didn't you?"

"It was already gone when I came back the night before last. I hadn't locked the yard gate!"

"Sister Yiyi, I think it must have been someone from the educated youth settlement who stole it, otherwise who would come and push the door open at night for no reason!"

"Oh, little chubby girl can analyze things now? You're right, there are only two or three people who can do this kind of thing. Go back and ask around, see what's going on!"

"By the way, Sister Yiyi, is Meizhi sick? I often see her feeling nauseous, and she always explains that her stomach is cold, but I haven't asked her!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Yi had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. If that was the case, things would get interesting.

What's going on between Mei Zhi and Wang Si lately?

"They must be dating. I've seen Mei Zhi washing Wang Si's dirty clothes several times!"

Xin Yi thought to herself, "They've probably already had a deep conversation, otherwise how will it end?"

However, Xin Yi wouldn't say these things to the chubby girl, since she didn't understand anything and saying them would only offend her ears.

"After you finish eating and washing up, go back and rest. I'm going hunting in the mountains tomorrow afternoon. Come with me to the village chief's house for dinner tonight!"

Liu Mengting finished her meal quickly, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and went to fetch water to wash up.

After cleaning up the mess, Xin Yi boiled some water and took a quick shower.

Lying in bed, Xin Yi tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Having lived two lives, this first time experiencing love felt unreal. She thought about Feng Yi's aloof appearance and his strong physique...

No, I can't think about it anymore. I don't even know if he's still staying at the county guesthouse.

Oh right, Xin Yi suddenly remembered that she still had some clothes left in her room at the guesthouse, and she wondered if he would help her put them away.

In fact, Feng Yi did help her take the clothes to his room, and he was currently squatting in the toilet washing clothes, while enduring Meng Tang's ridicule.

"Hahaha, boss, aren't you supposed to be a cool and aloof officer? If those female soldiers knew that their beloved Commander Feng was here bending over, washing clothes for women, wouldn't they all want to bang their heads against the wall?"

Feng Yi didn't even look up. "I'm washing clothes for my wife, what's it to them? Go cool off somewhere else!"

"So what if you have a wife? I'll find one too, and we'll be inseparable every day, just to make you jealous!"

Meng Tang muttered to himself as he lay back down on the bed.

Silent all night.

Xin Yi was awakened early in the morning by the sound of the gong signaling the start of work.

"Brother Feng, go check who's making all that noise, it's so loud!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xin Yi suddenly woke up with a start. "What did I just say? Did I have a wet dream? No way!"

Thinking of the scene in her dream, Xin Yi blushed and quickly got out of bed to wash up and make breakfast.
