Chapter 550 The Grand Finale

Little Flower left and returned to the snow-capped mountain.

Lu Fangfang felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. Just then, Lao Xu and Xiuxiu were building a house, so she rolled up her sleeves and went over to help for a few days.

In May, the Xu family's three brick houses were completed, along with two west wing rooms, though they were made of adobe.

The entire courtyard was also enclosed by mud-brick walls.

Unlike before, when you could see the yard from the road.

The house has been built ahead of schedule, so the wedding can be held immediately.

In late May, Lao Xu and Xiuxiu quietly obtained their marriage certificate.

Lu Fangfang led her family to have tea and eat wedding candy, and the wedding banquet was considered over.

After finishing with Xiuxiu's affairs, she prepared to move. Zhuang Mingcheng's appointment had been made; he was to serve as the Chief of Staff of the 55th Division.

A week before moving, Lu Fangfang cooked a few dishes at home and invited close friends and family members from the residential compound to come over for a meal.

After finishing, she continued working on the move.

Since she couldn't bring her quail and snow chickens to the city, Lu Fangfang simply loaded them onto a donkey cart and took them to Xiuxiu's house.

"Xiuxiu, these snow chickens are the result of my hard work in breeding them. Take good care of them, they will be very useful in the future. If anyone comes to cause trouble, just say they were raised by the troupe's breeding farm."

"Don't worry, sister."

Xiuxiu nodded; she knew the value of these snow chickens.

Lu Fangfang gave some more instructions and then rode the donkey cart home.

As for the white goose, the gray goose, and the little gray goose, she plans to take them to the city. There happens to be a wetland near the breeding farm in the city where they can live.

"Little wild donkey, what do you think? Do you want to stay on the farm, or come with us to the city?"

Lu Fangfang stroked the donkey's head, feeling somewhat worried for it.

For the past two months, the little wild donkey has been wandering the grasslands, but finding a wife for his donkey is still a long way off.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey snorted and nuzzled closer to her.

"Alright, then you can come with us to the city. If I have food to eat, you'll have plenty too."

Lu Fangfang patted the donkey's head, feeling somewhat pleased.

...

Three days before moving, Lu Fangfang locked the door and removed the cosmos flowers that were about to bloom.

She dug out the raw Hetian jade stone and put it into a burlap sack.

As for Jinsha and Gou Tou Jin, she carefully hid them in her luggage.

These are her and her husband's future support, and they can't afford any mishaps.

The day before the move, Lu Fangfang sent Little Wild Donkey to the foot of the mountain to the north early in the morning to call Little Flower.

She took some more meat and went to the pasture in front of the farm, where she traded a tuft of fur for a little yellow dog.

The three little ones gathered together again.

Lu Fangfang led them on a long walk around the meadow near the family compound.

She took one last look at the mother Tibetan fox, the groundhog, and the cat overlord before returning to the family compound.

That night, neither Xiaohua nor the little yellow dog went home.

Just like when they were little, they slept on the double wooden bed on the west side.

Little Flower stretched out her paw, pulled the ball from the corner, and gave it to the little yellow dog.

"Awoo~"

The little yellow dog sniffed and became excited.

It nuzzled around for a while, then whimpered and nestled in Little Flower's arms, its head still resting on Little Flower's tail, just like before.

Lu Fangfang stood at the doorway, watched for a while, and finally couldn't help but walk over.

"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, you two shouldn't come here anymore, lest you scare the new military wife who just moved in."

"If you miss me, go to Old Xu's place in Team Six and ask Xiuxiu to give me a message. If anything happens, go there to find Xiuxiu, and I'll be back right away..."

"Meow~"

"Awoo~"

Little Flower and Little Yellow Dog whimpered and snuggled into Lu Fangfang's arms.

They seemed to understand something, and appeared very sad.

Hearing their whimpers, Lu Fangfang couldn't help but tear up as well.

She had long expected this day to come, but when it actually arrived, she still felt a sharp pang of sadness.

"It's my blessing to have met you all, but all good things must come to an end..."

Lu Fangfang couldn't continue speaking.

She covered her mouth and ran into the inner room, closed the door, threw herself into Zhuang Mingcheng's arms, and cried loudly.

"Meow~"

"Awoo~"

Little Flower and the little yellow dog jumped off the wooden bed and chased after them to the door.

Hearing the crying from inside the house, the two little ones cried out pitifully, just like children who had lost their mother.

They scratched at the wooden door, calling for their mother.

Lu Fangfang listened from inside the room, and cried even harder.

She took out a handkerchief, wiped her face vigorously, forced a smile, and opened the door.

"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, I'm okay, I'm okay, boohoo..."

She couldn't hold back any longer, reached out and hugged the little one, and burst into tears.

Beside him, Zhuang Mingcheng held a handkerchief and rubbed his eyes.

On the kang (a heated brick bed), Dandan and Qingqing were awakened. They looked at their crying parents and were at a loss.

At the doorway, the little wild donkey turned around dejectedly and looked up at the round moon in the sky.

...

Early the next morning, Lu Fangfang fed Xiao Hua and the little Tibetan fox, and then led them out of the family compound.

Once they reached the main road, she bent down and hugged the two little ones, then forced a smile and said, "Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, you two must take good care of yourselves from now on."

"Alright, go back now, look, your family has come."

On the north side of the road, Big Fatty stood on the meadow, looking this way.

Lu Nan, a tuft of fur, led three little Tibetan foxes and watched them.

"Awoo~"
