The bear in the space was still all alone. Lately, seeing the loving tiger brother and sister-in-law, he was getting restless. The wolf king and his wife didn't dare to linger in front of him and would keep their distance from him unless necessary.
Tiger's wife and Wolf King's wife are also pregnant, and their bellies are getting bigger every day.
These animals are getting smarter and smarter. Lu Yuan can communicate with them without any problems. Although they live a life of good food and drink in the space every day, they are more agile and flexible than before, and their attack power seems to be more ferocious. If they encounter their own kind again, they will definitely kill them instantly.
Life went on in this leisurely yet busy way. The foundation of the sanatorium had long been laid, and the office building was beginning to take shape.
But the weather was getting colder and colder, with heavy snow falling every day. The thick snow had forced the sanatorium to temporarily shut down. Everyone started to hibernate, and many people stayed in bed all day, unwilling to go out.
Lu Yuan didn't want to go out either, but he had to juggle multiple jobs.
During this period, he also went to the commune's agricultural technology station to help solve technical problems two or three times, and earned another five or six hundred yuan in bonuses.
Wen Gang and I made two more trips to deliver supplies to the Gao and Xiao families in the provincial capital, successfully exchanging them for two more batches of gold and silver jewelry and half a truckload of canned goods.
Of course, there were also half a truckload of other supplies, but these were all taken out of the space.
He is currently training Xu Dong, Sun Maodou, and Lu Yuanchao. Once their driving skills are up to par, he won't have to do this kind of work himself anymore.
When he got home that day, he saw that his parents and old man Liu were all beaming with joy, but his wife looked depressed. He quickly hugged his wife and asked, "What's wrong? Who bullied my wife?"
The others just laughed and didn't say anything. The little girl looked at him with her big, watery eyes, and pouted, saying...
"Brother Yuan, Dad took my pulse again."
Lu Yuanxin's heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened to him?
Wait a minute, if there really was a problem, Old Liu and my parents wouldn't be acting like this. Suddenly, I felt relieved.
"Hmm, why are you taking my pulse?"
Wen Muxue said sullenly, "All three are boys!"
"ah?"
Now Lu Yuan was also frustrated.
"Brother Yuan, you've already had three, how come you don't have a daughter?" Wen Muxue said with great regret.
"Yeah, how come all three of them are boys? Where did all the sweet and lovely girls go?"
The young couple were feeling down when Wen Moxue cried out in pain, and her swollen belly began to move wildly.
The young couple exchanged a glance, and Wen Muxue asked softly, "Brother Yuan, can they understand what we're saying? Do they know that we're disliking them and expressing our dissatisfaction?"
Lu Yuan found it amusing. How could the babies in his belly understand what adults were saying? But he still said to his wife's belly, "You little rascals, behave yourselves. If you make your mother uncomfortable, I'll spank you all when you come out."
And sure enough, just as the little girl had said, her belly didn't move at all.
Lu Yuan regretted it; he shouldn't have said that. His wife became even more convinced that the fetus could understand human speech, and subsequently canceled all of Lu Yuan's benefits.
Since my wife got pregnant, although I can't eat meat in big bites, I can still eat it slowly and it has a unique flavor. But now, let alone eating meat, I have to be careful even when I talk. Being able to kiss her is definitely a privilege.
With nowhere to vent his boundless energy, he had to find another way. Weren't there his father's police officers? Perfect, let's show them his true abilities.
To prevent the others from thinking that he's nothing special except for hunting a few pheasants and rabbits, and from feeling resentful towards him, today I'll give them something special.
He called Su Tingxiao and the other three to stand in the courtyard, and without saying a word, told them to hurry inside.
It's so cold!
Seeing him yawning and shrinking his neck, the four men felt even more uneasy. What kind of training instructor had their commander found for them? He was completely intolerant of the cold.
Su Tingxiao and Chen Beilin, in particular, had their brows furrowed so deeply they could have trapped a fly.
Seeing their expressions, Lu Yuan knew they were starting to feel dissatisfied with him again, thinking he wasn't qualified to be their instructor, and he really wanted to roll his eyes.
These two didn't even consider whether their bodies had changed recently. Their stamina was clearly better than before, and their movements were more agile. However, since all four of them were improving, and there was no one else to compare them to, none of them realized this.
“You’ve been with the Changhe Brigade for a month or two now, and you haven’t missed a single day of training. You should be quite familiar with the back mountain by now. Today, let’s have a competition to see how your training has paid off.”
The group became interested upon hearing about the competition.
"Comrade Lu, is it the four of us competing, or are you also participating?" Qian Bing asked.
They don't truly acknowledge Lu Yuan as their instructor yet; they still refer to him as Comrade Lu.
"Naturally, everyone participates, and I also participate."
The four men were excited. They felt that their chance to humiliate Lu Yuan had come. No matter what the competition was about, they were confident that they could make Lu Yuan lose miserably. They wouldn't even need to say anything to their superiors; he would probably be too ashamed to continue being their instructor.
"Comrade Lu, what are we competing in? And what kind of competition is it?" Chen Beilin asked impatiently.
"It's very simple. Today we'll go up the mountain again to hunt. Whoever catches the most game wins."
The group frowned; it seemed he had no other skills besides hunting, and this was the only thing he could use for the competition.
Lu Yuan could tell what they were thinking, and said, "We'll split into two teams, four of you on one team, and I'll be on one team. I know you have reservations about me being your instructor and think I'm not qualified, so let's have a competition today. If your team wins, I'll resign automatically. If you lose, then whatever I say will be law, and you can't question me anymore."
"OK!"
The four of them agreed readily.
“We won’t take advantage of you either. We’ll only use a quarter of the prey we catch to compete with you,” Su Tingxiao said.
Although Lu Yuan is quite skilled at hunting pheasants and rabbits, the four of them are no less capable. Working together, they can hunt big ones, so they don't believe they can't beat Lu Yuan.
"Are you sure?" Lu Yuan asked, raising an eyebrow.
The four nodded in unison, "Confirmed!"
Lu Yuan shrugged. "Fine, whatever!"
They won't win no matter what.
Once the matter was settled, the four of them began preparing their equipment and rations, and then rushed up the mountain at top speed.
Lu Yuan made no preparations whatsoever, simply wrapping himself up like a dumpling and wearing rabbit fur gloves with his hands tucked into his coat pockets as he walked up the mountain.
When the four of them reached the halfway point of the mountain, they saw the black dot still at the foot of the mountain and sighed and shook their heads.
"Captain, aren't we going too far? This competition is clearly a foregone conclusion!"
Su Tingxiao is their captain, and the other three respect him greatly.
"The competition was proposed by Comrade Lu, and we agreed to it. Since that's the case, we should go all out. This is the least we can do to respect our opponents."
