Chapter 496 Preparing to go to Gona

"Sis, Big Yellow is so interesting."

Xiuxiu watched Dahuang drive away, laughing uncontrollably.

This little weasel is really timid, and it seems a bit afraid of Little Yellow. It looks like a henpecked little weasel.

Lu Fangfang understood Dahuang's feelings. After all, it had only been there for a few months and was not familiar with the other little guys in the house, so it was not surprising that it was wary.

She glared at the little wild donkey, then pulled the little Tibetan fox over and rubbed its belly.

"Little yellow dog, don't scare Little Yellow's family anymore. They're terrified of you. Little Yellow is pregnant right now, so don't frighten them."

"Awoo~"

The little Tibetan fox rolled over and immediately got up.

It tilted its head, staring curiously at Lu Fangfang's belly.

"Yes, Xiao Huang is pregnant now, just like me."

Lu Fangfang found the little Tibetan fox's expression particularly amusing and couldn't resist touching it again.

Beside her, Xiaohua also curiously craned her neck, staring at her belly.

Its two short ears twitched, as if it had heard something, and then it grinned and smiled.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang couldn't help but touch its little ears.

Besides her tail, the part of Xiaohua's body she likes to touch the most is her two little ears; they're so cute.

After playing with the little ones for a while, she looked up at the snow-capped mountains in the southeast.

That's Gona over there. At this time of year, the grasslands at the foot of Gona Snow Mountain should all be green, right?

"Xiuxiu, take the donkey cart to the sixth team and ask Old Xu if the grass in Guona has turned green. If it has, we'll go there in a few days."

"Why."

Xiuxiu agreed.

She stood up, took the little wild donkey, and wanted to go back to hitch up the donkey cart.

She had heard her sister mention Gona Snow Mountain many times and had long wanted to go see it.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey poked its head out and stubbornly finished gnawing on the last blade of grass.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang laughed and scolded, "You silly donkey, stop eating! I'll take you to the grasslands over there in Gona, and you can eat your fill!"

The little wild donkey suddenly poked its head out, its eyes lighting up.

As if it had thought of something, it turned around and followed Xiuxiu, quickly returning to the breeding farm.

Before long, Lu Fangfang saw it pulling Xiuxiu along, running excitedly towards Team Six.

"This gluttonous donkey is all about being eager to eat."

Lu Fangfang petted Xiao Hua and the little Tibetan fox, admiring the surrounding scenery.

After watching the sunset from the meadow, she called to the two little ones and returned to the farm.

At this moment, Sister-in-law Lan Ying also arrived. She called the three of them to a meeting and planned to hatch another batch of quails while the grassland was turning green.

Their farm needs to fill two sheds with quails before autumn arrives.

Then we can build another farm south of the old one; this can't be delayed.

"Hey sis, I heard from Xiuxiu that you're going to Gona?"

"Um."

Lu Fangfang nodded and continued, "I'll go take a look. If the grass over there is tender, I'll cut some grass and mix it with feed to feed the quails at our farm. That way, we can save some feed."

If possible, she would also like to talk to Lao Xu and ask him to cut two sacks of tender grass and deliver them to the farm when he is herding horses.

With sports being all the rage right now, I heard from Xiuxiu that there's been some trouble at Lao Xu's farm headquarters again.

Keeping Lao Xu busy and helping the troops with some tasks will also help him avoid trouble from the people at the military base.

"Girl, you're heavily pregnant now, so you have to be careful. It's quite far over there."

Wang Shufen was still a little worried, so she gave her another piece of advice.

"It's nothing, I'm just going to take a look, I'll be back this afternoon."

Lu Fangfang smiled, not caring at all.

Touching her belly, she estimated that her due date should be next month.

After chatting with Sister-in-law Lan Ying and Sister-in-law Mei Jun for a bit, she heard a noise outside and stood up, leaning on the table for support.

When she got to the courtyard, she saw that it was Xiuxiu who had returned, and she quickly asked, "Xiuxiu, what did Old Xu say?"

"Sister, Lao Xu said the grass over there has turned green. Their sixth team has been herding horses there recently. Lao Xu also said the flowers over there have bloomed, and it's as beautiful as a painting."

Xiuxiu jumped off the donkey cart, excitedly saying.

She was immediately drawn in after hearing Old Xu's introduction.

Her hometown was surrounded by farmland, and she had never seen such a scene before.

"Alright, let's go take a look tomorrow."

Lu Fangfang was also very happy; she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The next day, the two got up early and prepared to go to Gona.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating; the sky was overcast early in the morning, and it looked like it was going to rain.

After breakfast, a light drizzle began to fall.

Lu Fangfang was quite pleased to see this.

The grasslands looked as if they had been washed clean after the rain, and the area under the Gona Snow Mountain will be even more beautiful then.

After offering Xiuxiu a few words of comfort, she put on her raincoat and prepared to go to the farm.

Once she reached the main road, she stood in front of the wooden sign for the military spouses' farm and looked out into the fields.

Meanwhile, in the distant wasteland, my sister-in-law was still busy at work.

The rain came just in time and was very beneficial to the grass and crops on the pasture.

After glancing at it a few more times, she turned and went to the farm.

...

The drizzle lasted for two days, and on the third day, the sky finally cleared up.

Early in the morning, Lu Fangfang got up and called Xiuxiu to prepare to go to Gona.

It was quite far away. She filled a cloth bag with two large goose eggs and some food, planning to eat there for lunch.

She also took the camera from the drawer.

Once outside, Xiuxiu had already hitched up the donkey cart.
