When Lin Zhen arrived and saw Zhao Yuyin’s face, he didn’t even ask what happened. He simply took Song Wei and left.
They needed to go get a letter of introduction from the brigade leader.
Zhao Yuyin stood there in a daze, watching their retreating figures.
“Song Wei can punch a wild boar to death. Did you think that was a joke? Why don’t you go ask Xu Laidi and the traffickers in jail? They’ve also been beaten up by Comrade Song before.”
Zhao Yuyin covered her face: “Aren’t you going to do anything about this? This is bullying!”
Su Fang was almost laughing at her logic: “What, you don’t think your behavior deserves a beating?”
Zhao Yuyin: “But that doesn’t mean she should hit me directly!”
Her seduction hadn’t even succeeded. Even in her past life, those mistresses who got beaten up had actually become mistresses first.
Su Fang slapped her other cheek: “You’re truly beyond saving.”
“How dare you hit me!”
She couldn’t beat Song Wei, but this Su Fang, who should have died long ago, how dare she!
With red eyes, Zhao Yuyin lunged at her.
But she was no match for Su Fang.
Su Fang had been exercising every morning and doing a lot of physical labor, so she was far stronger than a weakling like Zhao Yuyin.
In the end, Zhao Yuyin was pinned to the ground and beaten up. Feeling abandoned by the whole world, she returned to her room and cried.
Su Fang rolled her eyes: “What a piece of work.”
With such little capability, she still dared to try and steal Song Wei’s man.
After dinner, Song Wei returned to the educated youth courtyard and unexpectedly ran into the two new male educated youths at the door.
They nodded at each other.
Song Wei knew these two were actually undercover police officers posing as educated youths, investigating the spy situation.
She wondered how their progress was going, but it wasn’t something she could ask about.
“Comrade Song, look, we’ve got puppies too.”
Gao Le and Zhao Su were waiting in the courtyard. As soon as Song Wei arrived, they held up the puppies in their hands to show her.
The puppies were about a month old, chubby, and had black and white fur.
They had distinct features that set them apart from local dogs, making them look much more beautiful.
Gao Le: “My dad had someone bring them over. They’re called Border Collies, or Collies. Two names, aren’t they pretty?”
There were five little puppies in total, with black fur on their foreheads and floppy ears.
The five puppies stood in a row, with the one in front having the darkest black fur, gradually fading as if the ink was running out.
The last one was the smallest but also the prettiest, with light gray fur around its eyes like snowflakes. It was a little girl, absolutely beautiful.
The two wolves came over and sniffed each of the five puppies.
Because of these five little puppies, almost all the educated youths had gathered in the courtyard.
Liu Linlin looked at one, then another, her eyes shining: “So cute, so cute! I really want to raise one too.”
Girls had no resistance to such soft, fluffy little animals.
Li Juan also wanted to raise one, but she was more rational: “Forget it. We can barely feed ourselves. Raising a dog would just be unfair to them.”
Gao Le scratched his head: “Comrade Song, do you want to raise one? I’ll give you one.”
He couldn’t afford to raise so many himself. He had just mentioned it in a letter to his dad, but he hadn’t expected him to send a whole litter of puppies.
Song Wei already had two wolves and didn’t want to raise another dog, but she noticed that Wolf One seemed particularly interested in the prettiest little puppy.
Hiss… Could this little guy have already found himself a little wife at such a young age?
Wolf One sniffed each puppy but seemed to like the one with the snowflake spots the most. He lay down and used his paw to pull the puppy closer, licking it repeatedly.
It was almost too much to watch!
Song Wei’s mouth twitched.
“You said these dogs are called Border Collies?”
She suddenly remembered that in her past life, she had encountered a mutated Border Collie.
It had the same markings and was herding a group of mutated sheep on the grasslands. Its combat strength was impressive, even stronger than a mutated wolf.
She had heard from an old man that before the apocalypse, Border Collies were working dogs, primarily helping shepherds with herding. Their herding abilities were stronger than several people combined.
After the apocalypse, they had started herding for themselves.
She thought of her uncle. In a letter from Lin Zhen’s comrade, it was mentioned that her uncle’s main job was herding. He had to go to distant places alone to watch over a herd of cattle and sheep, and he had to bring them all back intact. Losing even one would result in punishment.
Song Wei’s heart stirred, and she crouched down to examine each of the five puppies.
The oldest one had the darkest fur, the brightest eyes, and the most energy.
When playing with the other puppies, it seemed to treat them as objects to chase. Song Wei observed that this little one’s chasing was actually planned. If one fell behind, it would immediately go back and herd it back.
“This one looks the biggest. Can I have it?”
No wonder it had the most “ink.” Not only was it the strongest, but it was also the chubbiest.
Gao Le immediately handed the puppy to her.
“Of course.”
There were still four left. Gao Le and Zhao Su would raise one together, and after some discussion, the female educated youths decided they could also raise one collectively to share the burden.
The puppies were just too adorable.
The two undercover police officers were also interested in raising one, but they were afraid it might interfere with their mission, so they didn’t dare.
That left two puppies.
Song Wei looked at the one Wolf One had claimed: “I want to ask if the brigade leader’s family would be willing to raise this one.”
Wolf One was very interested in that puppy. The brigade leader’s family could raise it, and after she and Lin Zhen left, Wolf One and Wolf Two could either go to Uncle’s house or the brigade leader’s house.
They were already familiar with the brigade leader’s family, so they could go play with the puppy on their own.
Gao Le had no objections.
When Song Wei went to the brigade leader’s house to ask, Jiang Wenwu was the first to jump up.
“I’ve been wondering where to find a puppy! We’ll raise it, of course!”
So the whole family went to the educated youth courtyard to see the chubby little puppy, and they were equally smitten.
The little snowflake-spotted puppy girl found her new home.
That left one puppy without a home, but Gao Le wasn’t worried. Many people in the village wanted to raise dogs, so he just had to choose carefully to find a good owner for the puppy.
“I’ll raise it.”
One of the undercover police officers stepped forward. He had always loved dogs since he was a child but never had the time. This time, he didn’t want to miss the opportunity.
The surveillance work wasn’t difficult and was even quite leisurely. As long as it didn’t interfere with his duties, he could put in a little extra effort.
In the end, the last puppy also stayed in the educated youth courtyard.
Out of the five puppies, the educated youth courtyard ended up raising three.
The puppies weren’t afraid of strangers at all. Once chosen, they were very friendly to people.
The next day, they were already wagging their tails and trotting alongside people as they went out.
Song Wei’s puppy was no exception, following her to Lin Zhen’s house.
Lin Zhen was a bit surprised when he saw the puppy. Song Wei explained her thoughts to him.
“Do you think such a small puppy can be taken on the train without being noticed?”
Lin Zhen said: “Such a small dog can be hidden and taken on the train without issue. When I’ve taken the train before, there were plenty of people bringing chickens, ducks, and other poultry on board.”
