He carried Funiu into the house, pulled over the mattress and laid it out, then put the little girl on the kang.
He took out a kettle from the space and fed Funiu some well water. After a while, the little girl opened her big eyes and looked around blankly. When she saw Xu Jianguo, she suddenly curled her lips and burst into tears.
Seeing Funiu crying, Xu Jianguo quickly hugged her and comforted her, "Don't cry, Funiu. The bad guy has been caught by the police. He will never hurt you again."
"Haha, that auntie is so mean! She didn't let Funiu leave and even covered my mouth with a handkerchief. The handkerchief smelled terrible."
"Brother knows that Funiu has been wronged, but next time you go out, try to play next to me and don't run too far away, okay?"
"Yeah, haha, I understand." Funiu said.
Just as the brother and sister were talking, the sound of Xiao Hei scratching at the door was heard outside the house, accompanied by its barking. It seemed that it heard the sound of them talking.
As soon as Funiu heard Xiao Hei's voice, she struggled to get up from Xu Jianguo's arms, then lay down at the edge of the kang, stretched out her two short legs, and then twisted her little butt, moving out little by little. After a long time, she finally reached the ground.
Xu Jianguo found Funiu's clumsy and cute appearance very interesting, so he didn't go up to help, but just watched with a smile on his face.
Funiu pushed open the door and let Xiaohei in. Xiaohei squeezed in through the crack in the door. Seeing that it was his little master who opened the door, he immediately became happy. He raised his front legs and placed them on Funiu's hand, and his little tail behind him wagged. The man and the dog immediately started circling in the main room. Hearing Funiu's cheerful laughter, Xu Jianguo felt relieved.
Looking at the time, it was not yet nine o'clock. Xu Jianguo took out the translation materials from the space and sat at the desk to continue translating.
At noon, I cooked noodles for Funiu and steamed an egg cake, which was paired with shrimp and rapeseed, making a simple lunch.
As the weather grew colder, Xu Jianguo moved Xiao Hei's doghouse from the yard to the next room and added dog food and canned food to it.
He put coal on the stove, told Funiu not to come near, gave her some snacks, then locked the gate, left home and walked towards the brigade headquarters.
When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, Li Mancang was reconciling accounts with the accountant Li Changxing. When he saw Xu Jianguo come in, he greeted him with a smile and asked him to sit down first.
After waiting for a while, the two men finished their work, and Li Mancang said, "Boy, I thought you didn't want the prey you hunted. It's a good thing it's cold, otherwise you wouldn't be able to keep it."
"Don't worry, Uncle Mancang. I came here to ask if there is any work in the team recently. I'm busy with translation work recently and I'm afraid I can't take care of it if something happens in the team." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"It's okay, just go about your business. You don't have to worry about the team's affairs. You are a state employee now, so you must not make any mistakes when you work." Li Mancang said.
"Don't worry, I guarantee nothing will go wrong."
"Jianguo, I've thought about it. You are working for the country now, so the team won't arrange work for you in the future. If I'm really too busy, I'll contact you again." Li Mancang said.
"Okay, just make the arrangements as you see fit!" Xu Jianguo said, not caring at all. After all, he still had more than 40,000 yuan in his space, enough for food and drink, so he had nothing to worry about.
The two chatted for a while, and then Xu Jianguo left the brigade headquarters and walked home carrying wild rabbits, pheasants, wild boars and wild sheep meat.
When he got home, Funiu was snuggling in Xiaohei's arms with her legs crossed, which made Xu Jianguo laugh.
Xiao Hei is now four months old. Thanks to the nourishment of the space well water, his body is at least two times larger than that of the local dogs of the same age. His length is over 70 centimeters, and when he stands on all fours, it is more than half a meter long. When he stands there, he looks majestic, and his occasional barking is like turning on a subwoofer, which is very deterrent.
Seeing Xu Jianguo coming back, Funiu climbed out of the doghouse, ran over and hugged his thighs.
"Haha, you're back. Are these meats for me?" Funiu asked, looking at the meat in Xu Jianguo's hand.
"Yes, it's all yours. How about I make you braised lamb tonight?" Xu Jianguo said.
"Okay, okay, I haven't eaten it yet." Funiu said happily.
"Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a nap on the kang?"
"Okay!" Funiu said, and then stretched out her little hands, waiting for Xu Jianguo to carry her onto the kang.
Xu Jianguo put away the things in his hands, washed his hands, carried Funiu to the kang, helped her take off her cotton jacket and cotton pants, and the little girl got into the bed by herself and fell asleep in a short while without any coaxing.
In the evening, Xu Jianguo made braised lamb with potatoes, carrots and onions, and served it with rice. The two of them ate with their mouths drooling. Xiao Hei was also very happy because all the bones were his and he enjoyed chewing them.
In this way, Xu Jianguo and Funniu stayed at home for the next period of time. Apart from cooking for Funniu every day, he spent the rest of his time on translation work. Finally, he finished translating the textbook "Principles of Mechanics" on the day before the New Year.
He looked at the time and found that it was four o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Jianguo told Funiu to stay at home and he would be back soon. The little girl nodded in agreement very obediently.
Taking the information and the letter to Yan Wenhua, Xu Jianguo left home. After locking the gate, Xu Jianguo walked towards the mountain. After he was far away from the village, he flashed into the space, and then came to the uninhabited courtyard in Wuyi Lane of the county town through the Seven Star Teleportation Array.
Without delay, Xu Jianguo climbed over the wall and walked out of the yard, heading towards the post office.
After successfully mailing the information and letters, Xu Jianguo left the post office. Not long after he walked away, he saw someone selling candied haws on the roadside. After paying for two strings, he walked out of the county town.
After leaving the county town, Xu Jianguo found a deserted place and entered the space. After observing through the space, he found that Funiu and Xiaohei were in the house, so he returned to the main hall of his house through the teleportation array.
He glanced at the time and found that it had only taken him half an hour to run back and forth between Sandaliang Village and the county town. He thought to himself how powerful space was.
When he entered the house, Xu Jianguo saw Funiu and Xiaohei squatting on the ground tinkering with something. He walked over and was shocked to see that Funiu was holding a small wooden stick and teasing a small black snake.
Xu Jianguo was worried that Funiu was in danger, so he quickly walked over and picked her up. The sudden scene scared the little girl. When she turned around and saw that it was her brother, she immediately smiled and said, "Haha, that little snake seems to be injured. Can you save it?"
Xu Jianguo put Funiu on the kang, then pushed Xiaohei aside and squatted down to check.
The little snake was about 20 centimeters long, pitch black, and emitting a metallic luster all over its body. It was lying there motionless, giving people the feeling that it was dying. There was a deep wound in the middle and back of its body.
