Bai Shuangxue herself didn't know why she had ended up here with Zhuang Zhimeng. Even after seeing Zhuang Zhimeng's appearance, what could she do? It would only add to her troubles and give her another reason to give up!

Bai Shuangxue had always thought she was good-looking, and she was very confident in that. However, after seeing Zhuang Zhimeng up close, Bai Shuangxue had to admit that she was indeed inferior to her. She had already lost in terms of looks. The key was that Zhuang Zhimeng had an indescribable charm that she herself did not possess.

Bai Shuangxue secretly decided that she would never let them know that she had any thoughts about him. That would be it. She would control her heart, treat An Qingbai as a passerby, and never have any further interaction with him.

Zhuang Zhimeng assumed that Bai Shuangxue was simply curious and wanted to see what she looked like. After all, they were both sent-down youths, so it was understandable that she wanted to get to know her.

After finishing work, Jiang Yanxia came home and cooked.

After learning basic cooking from Su Mengmeng for a few months, Zhuang Zhimeng and the other two now take turns cooking. Whoever is free cooks, and if An Qingbai is around, he sometimes cooks. Usually, one person cooks while the others help.

Zhuang Zhimeng cooks whatever she feels like. Sometimes when she's in a good mood, she'll make something delicious for everyone to enjoy, but most of the time she just makes whatever's available.

Recently, the production team has needed tractors a lot, so Su Mengmeng and An Qingbai haven't had time to come back and have dinner with Zhuang Zhimeng.

When the meal is ready, both Zhuang Zhimeng and Jiang Yanxia will save a portion for Su Mengmeng. If An Qingbai comes over, they will tell Zhuang Zhimeng in advance, and only then will An Qingbai also be saved a portion of the meal.

During the meal, Jiang Yanxia pointed at Maoxian and said to Zhuang Zhimeng, "Zhimeng, look at Maoxian, what's wrong with it? It hasn't had a good appetite these past few days, and it keeps gagging. It's also listless. I haven't fed it anything bad. It's been the same as usual, and I've never seen it like this before."

Zhuang Zhimeng turned her head to look at Maoxian, who was lying there lazily. Zhuang Zhimeng thought it looked a lot like a pregnant dog in the 21st century, and she concluded that Maoxian was pregnant.

"Xiazi, it's over, get ready! We're going to be aunties!"

"Huh? Zhimeng, you mean Maoxian is pregnant?"

"It's almost certainly true, I think Maoxian is pregnant!"

"No way, Maoxian isn't even a year old yet, how could she be pregnant? I wonder which dog in the village messed with her! Zhimeng, how long does a dog's pregnancy last? If it's like a human, how many months pregnant does it take? Then I'll be left with nothing but taking care of pregnant women!"

"She can't be pregnant for that long, at most two months or so!"

"That's alright, it's manageable to take care of it for two months. But what should we feed it? Should we give it some extra nutrition?"

"Don't feed it anything too hard, and give it calcium supplements."

"Then I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy a few big pork bones to make soup for them to eat with rice. Last time you bought some big pork bones and made soup, I saw that they loved it!"

"Okay! Make sure it doesn't get cold, especially its belly. Let it bask in the sun from time to time and let it run around outside!"

"Okay, whatever you say! Zhimeng, you said I haven't even become a mother yet, and I'm already becoming a mother to a dog! Now that it's pregnant, I have to take care of it too!"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it; we're the ones who raised them!"

"That's true! Zhimeng, if I had known, I should have gotten Maoqiu and Maotuan back then. They're both male dogs, so much easier!"

"Male dogs can't get pregnant, but they get very aggressive when they're in heat and they pee everywhere! Maoqiu and Maotuan are probably in heat these days. Sometimes when Qingbai comes over, they bark at him and yell at him!"

"If that's what you're saying, then I'll keep my yarn. At least yarn is quite docile!"

"Indeed, yarn is gentler than balls of yarn or fluff balls; it feels like a gentle little girl."

"Hmm, Zhimeng, do you think we should continue raising Maoxian's puppies after they're born? I heard that dogs get pregnant twice a year, so wouldn't we have more and more dogs? We're just educated youth, it doesn't make sense for us to raise so many dogs!"

Zhuang Zhimeng nodded, thought for a moment, and then suggested, "How about we feed the puppies that Maoxian gave birth to for two months, and then return them to the forest ranger? He has a lot of dogs, and we can ask him if he has any way to prevent Maoxian from getting pregnant, or we can ask the village barefoot doctor if there are any medicines we can give her that won't harm her body!"

"Okay, let's do it your way, Zhimeng! We'll see how many puppies Maoxian has. Maybe some kids in the village will want them. We'll see how it goes. If someone wants them and promises to take good care of them, we'll give them away. If no one wants them, we'll return them to the forest ranger!"

"Okay, we don't know how many kittens it will have yet. I guess it's only been pregnant for a short time. Let's see how it goes in two months!"

After finishing her meal, Zhuang Zhimeng brewed a pot of tea. When she came out, she saw Jiang Yanxia carefully touching Maoxian's belly and asking, "Maoxian, Maoxian, how did you get pregnant? You're making things difficult for your older sister! You're so young and you're going to be a mother. I have to take care of you, you know that?"

Maoxian turned its head to sniff Jiang Yanxia's hand, stuck out its tongue and licked it, then continued to lie lazily.

Jiang Yanxia stood up and asked Zhuang Zhimeng, "Zhimeng, do you think the baby born from Maoxian will be particularly ugly?"

"The yarn looks alright, but it depends on how the father looks!"

"I wonder what the child's father looks like? Do you think he might be the village's Black Whirlwind?"

"Xiazi, are you talking about Iron Hammer's dog, the one that's all black? Who named it Black Whirlwind? It's quite an interesting name!"

"Yes, that's the one. Hammer told me that Black Whirlwind was the name he gave it himself, and he felt really cool about it!"
