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

"Alright, come talk to me again when you've figured out love! Now go get some water to wash up, I need to wash up and go to bed too!"

Liu Mengting had thought she was the one who was abandoned, but after Xin Yi said that, it seemed that what she had experienced was not love at all, and it couldn't be described as starting something and then abandoning it. However, thinking about all the things that had happened before, Liu Mengting still felt that they were very beautiful.

Liu Mengting filled a basin with hot water and went back to wash up. Xin Yi, who had already taken a shower, also washed up briefly and lay down on the bed.

Thinking about Wu Guihua's condition, I couldn't help but feel a little worried, but as long as she went to the hospital, it shouldn't be a big problem.

On second thought, I just left the county town yesterday, and I'm going there again tomorrow. Feng Yi will probably be very surprised.

Boyfriend, we're meeting again.

Early in the morning, before the drums and gongs for starting work had even sounded, Xin Yi was woken up.

"Bang bang bang... Xin Yi, Xin Zhiqing, are you awake?"

Xin Yi opened her eyes with difficulty. She could tell from the voice that it was Brother Zhang. Since she had taken on the job herself, even if Xin Yi was a little grumpy when she woke up, she had nowhere to vent her anger.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, I'm up, just a moment!"

It's still dark, and Zhang Lao Er knows he needs to avoid suspicion.

"Xin Zhiqing, we're all packed. Once you're done, just head straight to the village entrance!"

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible!"

Xin Yi got dressed and went to the kitchen. The stove fire from last night had already gone out. She opened the pot lid, reached out to test the water, and found it wasn't too cold. She washed her face and brushed her teeth in the water, took out her small suitcase, packed a change of clothes, grabbed a small bag of snacks, locked the door, and went out.

When Xin Yi arrived at the village entrance, Zhang Laifu's family and Grandpa Liu were already waiting there.

He hurried to the oxcart and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"We just arrived too, wear warm clothes, it's still quite dewy this morning!"

Aunt Zhang took Xin Yi's arm and said, "Yi Yi, your second brother Zhang isn't very educated, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of him at the hospital this time. I won't let you down!"

"Auntie, that's not very nice of you to say. I'm the aunt of the child in Sister Guihua's belly. Why should I bother with anything?"

Aunt Zhang's eyes were red with tears. "Yes, yes, I misspoke. Anyway, thank you for your trouble!"

Zhang Laifu, who was standing nearby, coughed and said, "Let's not waste any more time, let the children set off!"

Xin Yi pulled her arm away and patted Aunt Zhang on the shoulder. "Don't worry, you need to learn more from your uncle. With me here, there won't be any big problems!"

Uncle Zhang gave Xin Yi a strange look, but ultimately didn't tell her the truth.

Xin Yi rolled her eyes at Zhang Laifu, quickly climbed onto the oxcart, sat down next to Wu Guihua, and together with Zhang Lao Er, protected Wu Guihua in the middle.

With a shout from Grandpa Liu, the oxcart set off.

The morning in Black City was indeed cold. As the oxcart swayed and rocked, Xin Yi almost fell backward before snapping back to reality.

Noticing that Wu Guihua also looked a little sleepy, Xin Yi quickly said, "Sister-in-law, hang in there, don't fall asleep. Go sleep in the car later, it'll be warmer there!"

Hearing Xin Yi's words, Wu Guihua mustered her spirits.

"I don't even know if it's a boy or a girl in my belly. They don't even care about their old mother. They've scared the whole family!"

Zhang Lao Er quickly comforted her, "Wife, I feel sorry for you. After the baby is born, I'm going to give him a good spanking. How dare he treat his own mother like this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Guihua objected, "You, as the father, are so ignorant! This child isn't even born yet, how would you know anything about these things? If you dare to spank his bottom until it's swollen, then you can forget about sleeping in my bed!"

Zhang Lao Er could only try to appease his wife by hugging her tightly, "We won't fight, we won't fight!"

"You two are really going too far! You need to consider how I, a single person, feel!"

"A dog? Yiyi, why are you calling yourself a dog?" Wu Guihua asked with a surprised look.

Zhang Lao Er also cooperated, looking at Xin Yi with confusion.

Xin Yi was speechless. "The dog was just a metaphor, not an insult to myself. Oh dear, Uncle Liu, please help me! This couple is ganging up on me!"

Grandpa Liu was concentrating on controlling the oxcart when he heard Xin Yi calling him. He turned around slightly and said, "Xin, this old man can't help you with this. The best way is for you to find a partner quickly, then you can take on them two-on-two, hahaha..."

"Oh, so that's what you mean by 'single dog,' 'single dog,' turns out it's you who wants to find a partner!"

Wu Guihua laughed and tickled Xin Yi's armpits, and Xin Yi had no choice but to dodge. "Hahaha, it's so itchy, sister-in-law. You're just relying on the fact that you're pregnant and I won't fight back, right? Once you give birth, I'm going to give you a good beating, hahaha... itchy itchy!"

Zhang Lao Er was worried that Wu Guihua might overdo it and hurt her stomach, so he helped pull Wu Guihua's hand back and put it in his own arms to warm it.

Xin Yi felt a little hungry, so she opened the bag of peach shortbread. "Brother Zhang, come on, have some snacks!"

Zhang Lao Er hesitated for a moment. Xin Yi had come to help his family, so how could he eat her food? He immediately waved his hand.

Xin Yi didn't try to persuade him, but took a piece and handed it to Grandpa Liu, saying, "Grandpa Liu, have some snacks!"

Grandpa Liu wasn't shy at all; he took the food and started eating.

Wu Guihua slapped Zhang Lao Er, "What are you still standing there for? Didn't your mother make some pancakes for us? Let Yiyi try them. It's obvious she doesn't have time to eat breakfast. If we wait until noon, she'll be starving!"

Zhang Lao Er quickly rummaged through the bag beside him and took out a bag of flatbread wrapped in oil paper. "Xin Yi, here you go. My mother's flatbread is so delicious. Just eating snacks won't fill you up. Let Uncle Liu have a taste too!"

Xin Yi took the oil paper bag, opened it, handed one sheet to Grandpa Liu, took another one for herself, and started eating it right away, saying as she did so, "You're too embarrassed to eat my food, but I'm perfectly comfortable eating yours!"

Xin Yi's eating habits made Zhang Lao Er and his wife's mouths water, but they had already eaten breakfast and there was no need to waste food.

Xin Yi noticed the couple's little gestures. "Alright, don't be so polite with me. Anyway, we're fine. It's good to have some snacks and freshen your breath, especially for you, sister-in-law. After you give birth, you won't be able to eat anything you want for a long time. Are you sure you don't want to now?"

As he spoke, he waved a large piece of peach shortbread in front of Wu Guihua.

Out of love for his wife, Zhang Lao Er grabbed a peach shortbread and fed it to Wu Guihua's mouth, saying, "Wife, you eat!"

Wu Guihua finally took a bite, "Mmm, it's delicious! You should have a bite too!"

Xin Yi couldn't stand it anymore. "Hey, are you two trying to embarrass me? I still have plenty here. Do you need to take turns eating from me?"

After saying that, he took a big piece of peach shortbread and stuffed it into Wu Guihua's mouth, saying, "Eat your own food, don't feed each other, and don't show affection in public!"

After a bit of playful banter, time flew by. Grandpa Liu took them to the bus station and helped them unload their things from the oxcart.
