Mo Yi leaned against the tree, showing no surprise at what she heard. The little girl's eyes were practically drooling as she stared at the animal hide.

She languidly parted her lips: "We don't have white tiger skins right now, but would you like a white-foreheaded tiger with piercing eyes?"

"Yes." Ruan Xianxian nodded repeatedly.

White tiger skins are extremely rare, and even if one existed, Mo Yi would never give it to a complete stranger she was meeting for the first time.

Ruan Xianxian understands this principle, but as the old saying goes, nothing is more fun than your sister-in-law... Pshaw! It's like getting to know someone better the first time!

"Sister Mo, I'll leave you my phone number and address. Contact me if you get the white tiger skin; I'm willing to pay a high price."

The animal hide system store also has them, but those machine-processed hides lack a lot of feel and charm compared to hand-tanned hides.

It's like the difference between a master chef and a cooking machine.

Mo Yi agreed and led Ruan Xianxian to a room filled with a dazzling array of animal skins: rabbit, tiger, sable...

The happy fairy carried the items back and forth to the car three times.

When he returned, he couldn't suppress the upturn of his lips; even the landlord's foolish son had to acknowledge him as a relative.

The five people, who had agreed to have one last meal before leaving the provincial capital, waved goodbye to the Qian family.

The car was already full, and it became even more crowded after being piled with animal hides. Wu Xueliang, who was squatting in the car holding an animal hide, looked speechless. "Why didn't you let your uncle hold it?"

Chu Li curled her lips into a smile. "She wouldn't dare."

Sigh! All you do all day long is speak the truth.

Over the next three days, the five of them ate and explored every corner of the provincial capital.

The Friendship Store, which Beijing wouldn't let her in, opened its doors to her in Heilongjiang Province. Once inside, she ordered Xiaoyun and Zhang Li to serve her.

A few words of instigation escalated the conflict between the two women, and they finally spent the foreign exchange certificates in their pockets.

Looking at the imported washing machine that this guy bought, Zhao Di asked a fatal question.

"Has the educated youth settlement been electrified?"

Ruan Xianxian: ...

Because of the unpopular status of educated youth, the brigade office bypassed the educated youth settlement when sending telegrams, and Ruan Xianxian remained silent for a while.

"When I get back, I'll have Lao Xiang answer the phone. If he doesn't, I'll stay at his house."

Everyone: ? ? ?

Go ahead and insult me!

They'd had their fun and their meals, and on their last day in the province, the factories delivered the translators' well-deserved bonuses, along with a black goose.

The goose flapped its big wings, its beady eyes almost turning into cross-eyed eyes, and when it saw Ruan Xianxian, it rushed over to pinch her at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint.

"Sending geese to train with dogs, sending geese to train with dogs, you little vixen, you've got some nerve! I almost got eaten by the dogs, you know that?"

Ruan Xianxian reacted quickly, pinching the goose's beak. The goose's strength almost made her stumble. She raised her eyebrows and clicked her tongue inwardly.

When they arrived at the hotel, they couldn't bring any live animals into the space, and the hotel rooms didn't allow geese. So Miyano suggested finding a good place for the geese, where they could be fed and cared for by dedicated staff.

Is the military's combat dog training camp a good place to go?

Seeing the two tears welling up in the goose's eyes, Ruan Xianxian knew she shouldn't, but imagining a goose being trained among hunting dogs, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The soldier who delivered the goose scratched his head: "Comrade Ruan, the goose has been returned to you. Our captain asked me to give you a message."

Ruan Xianxian raised her eyebrows, gesturing for him to speak.

"That, well... your goose is exceptionally clever and strong; if you don't keep an eye on it, it can incite a pack of dogs to fight."

The captain said it has extremely high breeding value. Have you considered handing the goose over to the army?

Upon hearing the word "hand over," the goose froze.

The arrogant attitude of wanting to strangle Ruan Xianxian completely vanished.

The voice was noisy and aggrieved.

"You dare, you little wench! If you dare send me back to the army, I'll break off all ties with you, never see you again, not even in death."

Ruan Xianxian patted the goose and stared intently at her little head. The goose's eyes were fierce, but deep inside, they revealed tension and unease.

Like a pitiful creature about to be abandoned by its owner, it utters the harshest words while doing the most cowardly things.

"Thank you for your captain's high regard. My son is like family to me, and I will never abandon him under any circumstances."

Having been reborn, she had no relatives or friends, but her son resolutely accompanied her to the countryside.

The food at the educated youth settlement was poor, so the goose went down to the river to catch fish to feed her.

The big black goose means something different to her than to all the other little cuties.

If someone else said that geese were family, that person would definitely think she was crazy, but the soldier in charge of training the hunting dogs understood this feeling very well.

He stood at attention and saluted: "I will convey Comrade Ruan's words to the captain."

He lowered his hand, his youthful features softening slightly, and reached out his large hand to touch his forehead. "Big Black is very smart, I hope you will treat it well."

"I will."

Perhaps knowing it wouldn't be handed over, or perhaps because it had its master's backing, the goose bit the soldier's outstretched hand...

Meeting the zookeeper's smiling eyes, the goose finally didn't use any force, and gently opened its beak.

"Take care, Big Black. Don't forget what you've learned, and protect your master well."

"Then, Comrade Ruan, I'll head back now."

Watching the zookeeper's tall figure disappear into the distance, the goose silently said, "Take care too."

When only the master and the pet remained, the goose nuzzled against her chest with its little head, asking, "Will we ever see him again?"

Ruan Xianxian gently coaxed, "If you want to, you will. Next time you come to the provincial capital, I'll take you to see him if you have the chance."

After the afternoon meeting ended, Jia Yongjun looked at the thick stack of red envelopes lined up in front of the troublemaker, and his teeth started to ache.

"Xiao Ruan, can we talk about something?"

Ruan Xianxian looked up at him, as if she could tell what he wanted to say, and immediately denied it: "No."

She and Lin Rui Cong had an agreement that any sales exceeding the price would go to their team as bonuses.
