Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

For the next few days, Chen Meiju stayed at the chicken farm almost day and night.

She checks on the sick chickens every few hours, feeding them water and administering medication.

At night, she slept in a small, simple hut next to the chicken coop, which contained only a wooden bed and a worn-out wardrobe.

As soon as she hears the slightest noise in the chicken coop, she immediately gets out of bed, puts on her clothes, and rushes to the coop to check.

After several days and nights of tireless efforts, the condition was finally brought under control.

The sick chicken's condition improved significantly; its drooping head began to slowly lift, and its feathers seemed to regain some luster.

No new cases of infection were found in the normal chickens.

As Chen Meiju watched the chickens gradually regain their vitality, the heavy weight in her heart finally lifted, and a long-lost smile of relief appeared on her face. Although the hard work of the past few days had made her look particularly haggard, her smile was full of hope.

Unfortunately, five of the sick chickens did not survive.

Looking at the five dead chickens, Chen Meiju felt a pang of pain in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She gently picked up the dead chickens and buried them in an open space behind the chicken coop, murmuring to herself, "Children, rest in peace. It's all my fault for not taking good care of you."

But she also knew that in this fierce battle against fowl plague, losing only five chickens was already a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

After seeing off Veterinarian Li and her mentor, Chen Meiju sat wearily on a small stool in front of the chicken coop, reflecting on everything that had happened in the past few days.

She couldn't help but sigh with emotion. She used to think that it was unnecessary and a waste of money to always bring gifts to visit her master during holidays. Now it seems that this social interaction has really come in very handy.

She thought of her nephew, Chen Dong. If he hadn't paid for her to go to training, she wouldn't have known how to deal with this crisis.

"Dongzi has such good taste," Chen Meiju murmured to herself, her heart filled with gratitude for Chen Dong.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and the cheerful chirping of chickens came from the chicken coop.

Chen Meiju stood up, looked at the vibrant chicken farm in front of her, and a gratified smile appeared on her face.

She knew that the chicken plague crisis was over, but the road ahead was still long. She needed to manage the chicken farm even more diligently and live up to Chen Dong's good intentions.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Chen Meiju's figure appeared exceptionally resolute.

She secretly vowed to make the chicken farm better and better, so that her life would also improve.

Sunlight, like fine gold dust, gently spilled through the wooden window frame into the cozy duplex apartment near Tsinghua University in Beiping.

The interior is simply yet warmly furnished. Against the wall stands an old but neatly arranged bookshelf filled with all kinds of books, from professional textbooks to literary classics, all of which reflect the owner's love of learning.

A slightly worn wooden desk was placed by the window, and Chu Mengran was sitting at the desk, intently reading a professional book.

She wore a light blue cotton dress, and her smooth hair shone with a faint golden luster under the gentle caress of the sunlight, like a tranquil and beautiful oil painting.

Chen Dong leaned back comfortably on the slightly faded fabric sofa, holding a science magazine in his hand.

The magazine's paper was yellowed and the edges were slightly curled. It contained the latest scientific and technological developments and research findings.

Chen Dong's gaze would sometimes wander intently between the lines, sometimes furrow his brows in deep thought, and occasionally he would reach out to adjust the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Suddenly, a sharp telephone ring shattered the tranquility.

It was a black dial telephone, placed on a low square table, its ringing sound particularly jarring in the quiet room.

Chen Dong put down the magazine in his hand, got up and walked to the phone, gently picked up the receiver, and politely said, "Hello?"

A familiar yet slightly weary voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dongzi, it's me, your second aunt."

Chen Dong's face instantly lit up with a warm smile, his tone full of concern: "Second Aunt, what made you think of calling me? Is everything alright at the chicken farm?"

Chen Meiju sighed, her voice tinged with weariness and relief: "The chicken farm is fine now, but it almost turned into a major disaster."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Meiju vividly recounted to Chen Dong the incident of chicken plague at the chicken farm.

From the moment she walked into the chicken coop as usual that morning and saw the usually lively flock of chickens become listless, to the moment she painstakingly confirmed, based on the rudimentary knowledge Chen Dong had acquired during her training, that it was the beginning of chicken plague, her voice was filled with panic and anxiety.

"Dongzi, when I first entered the chicken coop, my heart sank. The chickens were all drooping their heads, their feathers had lost their luster, and my heart skipped a beat. I felt something terrible was going to happen," Chen Meiju recalled.

Chen Dong listened attentively on the other end of the phone, occasionally responding with "hmm" or "and then?", as if he were there himself.

Chen Meiju then recounted her hasty search for her master's help: "I didn't care about anything at the time. I took out the best pastries and cured meat in my house, wrapped them up, and ran to my master's house. When I got there, I was almost crying. As soon as I told my master, he immediately contacted Veterinarian Li for me."

Hearing this, Chen Dong interjected, "Second Aunt, you did the right thing. Master is experienced and will definitely be able to help."

Subsequently, Chen Meiju described in detail how veterinarian Li arrived at the chicken farm with his medical kit, carefully examined the sick chickens, and proceeded with every step of diagnosis, medication, and guidance on isolation and disinfection.

"Veterinarian Li is very professional. I feel much more at ease when he comes. He took the medicine bottles and syringes and explained to me how to use them one by one. He also personally mixed the disinfectant and taught me how to disinfect the chicken coop."

When he learned that only five chickens had died in the end and the disease had been successfully brought under control, Chen Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Second Aunt, what a relief! You must have been terrified at the time."

Chen Meiju said with emotion, "That's right, I was panicked at the time. Fortunately, I remembered what you sent me to the training course and what you told me to give my master gifts during festivals. This time, I was very grateful to my master for helping me contact the veterinarian, which solved the problem. Dongzi, you are much better at dealing with people than your second aunt. This gift-giving matter really came in very handy."

Chen Dong smiled and said, "Second Aunt, it's all the right thing to do. My master is experienced, so it's good to keep in touch. If we encounter any problems in the future, we'll have someone to ask for advice. I'm truly happy that your chicken farm has weathered this crisis safely. By the way, Second Aunt, how are the chickens that recovered doing?"
