Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

County town police station.

When Lu Dajun saw Liu Xiangyang, he said, "Xiangyang, you're here now. Why did you bring so much stuff last time? If you keep doing this, don't come to your Uncle Lu's place again."

"Alright, alright, Uncle Lu, I didn't bring anything this time."

"Uncle Lu, I need your help with something."

Liu Xiangyang told Lu Dajun everything about how he caught the rabbit, how he wanted to raise it, and the expert advice he needed to consult.

Lu Dajun thought for a moment and said, "What a coincidence! I have a comrade who works in the animal husbandry department. I'll take you to him now."

Lu Dajun rode his bicycle with Liu Xiangyang to the animal husbandry department, where they found Lu Dajun's comrade-in-arms, Lao Lin.

"Old Lin, my nephew is currently a sent-down youth in Dongsheng Village. He wants to learn how to raise rabbits. Can you teach him?"

"Old Lu, I work in administration. How would I know anything about raising rabbits? I'll find you a real expert."

……

"Old Lu, the real expert, has arrived. This is Old Hu from our animal husbandry department, Hu Xiaoyu, a true animal husbandry expert. If Xiao Liu has any questions, just ask Old Hu; he'll be right."

"Hello Teacher Hu, I am Liu Xiangyang, an educated youth from Dongsheng Village..." Liu Xiangyang repeated his words.

Hu Xiaoyu said that the most important thing to pay attention to when raising rabbits in Heilongjiang Province is to keep them warm in winter. This can be achieved by hanging straw curtains and closing doors and windows, and ventilation should also be ensured.

He then picked up another book and said, "This is a book that was just published in June of this year. It teaches people how to raise rabbits. Young man, you have an idea. This book is for you. Take it home and read it."

Liu Xiangyang took the book "How to Raise Rabbits": "Uncle Hu, how can that be? I'll pay you for the book. You've already taught me so much, I can't let you spend any more money."

In the end, Hu Xiaoyu didn't take any money from Liu Xiangyang, but simply asked Liu Xiangyang to give him a few rabbits to eat once he successfully raised them.

After saying goodbye to Lu Dajun and the others, Liu Xiangyang returned to Dongsheng Village.

Liu Xiangyang found Zhang Tiejun and told him about what happened in the animal husbandry department: "Uncle Zhang, I'll take good care of these two rabbits first. They can have 5-6 litters a year, and each litter can have 5-8 baby rabbits. Autumn is coming soon, which is the rabbit breeding season..."

"Xiangyang, then you should do a good job, and I'll recommend you for credit later."

"It's all thanks to Uncle Zhang's leadership. I'll head back now."

As Liu Xiangyang left Zhang Tiejun's house, he ran into Xue Bingbing and the others who were getting off work: "Liu Xiangyang, you're back!"

I went straight to the mountains and cut down more than ten trees. I made a burrow for the two rabbits, put some grass inside, and then let the two rabbits out.

Two rabbits arrived in an unfamiliar environment and hid in a corner. Their two red eyes looked around, and after they got used to it, they grabbed some grass and started munching on it.

Liu Xiangyang arranged the rabbits, released several trees from his space, broke the trunks into sections three and a half meters long, placed them on the dug cellar, and then placed two more horizontally, merging them together without needing nails.

Once the grid-shaped frame is complete, and the soil is laid on it after it dries in the sun, the cellar will be almost finished.

Liu Xiangyang wiped himself off and went to bed on the kang (a heated brick bed).

The next day, when everyone was home cooking dinner, someone called his name from outside.

Liu Xiangyang, Xue Bingbing, Le Qi, Le Yao, Xie Zhiyong, and Luo Lan, here are your letters and postage slips.

Liu Xiangyang was washing rice. After shaking off the water from his hands, he put on his clothes and went outside into the yard. He saw a postman outside the educated youth settlement, propping up his old bicycle. There was a mailbag bulging on each side of the back seat.

Liu Xiangyang walked over and said, "Hello, postman, I am Liu Xiangyang."

"Hello Liu Zhiqing, since this is the first time I'm delivering a letter to you, I'd like to take a look at your educated youth certificate first."

Liu Xiangyang handed his educated youth certificate to the postman, then took the 10 letters, a postal slip, and a money order from the postman.

Then Xue Bingbing and the others came out. When Le Yao saw so many letters in Liu Xiangyang's hand, she said, "Liu Xiangyang, you're so popular! So many people are writing to you."

Postman: "Xue Bingbing, one letter and one money order; Le Qi and Le Yao, one letter and one money order."

Liu Xiangyang returned home, continued cooking the rice, and then went back to the kang (a heated brick bed) to read the letters.

First, he opened Liu Ma Wang Weihong's letter, which said that everything was fine at home and that he shouldn't worry. She told him to be flexible in his work and not to overwork himself. Most importantly, she warned him not to get married and have children in Heilongjiang Province.

Liu Xianghong's letter also said that everything was fine at home, her job was good, and she had people taking care of her; it was just that her mother missed her from time to time.

Liu Jianguo also wrote a letter, saying something similar to what Wang Weihong said, urging him not to be lazy at work, but to work hard and serve the country.

Three of the letters were written by three female educated youths who had left their contact information on the train. The letters were all complaints, and they asked Liu Xiangyang to reply to them.

Liu Xiangyang definitely won't reply; they'll never meet again, and besides, neither of them are beautiful, so there's no need to contact each other.

Of the remaining two letters, one was from a high school girl who had a crush on him and confessed her feelings. Liu Xiangyang recalled that she seemed to have a very attractive figure, so he kept that letter. He planned to reply to it when he had time.

The last letter was from Ning Yurou. She had taken Liu Xiangyang's advice and also came to the countryside in Northeast China, to the neighboring county. She left her address and asked Liu Xiangyang to reply, saying she would wait for him.

After reading the letter, Liu Xiangyang started eating. Just as he finished eating and was about to go to the river to bathe, he heard the work bell ringing urgently, followed by a loud banging on his own courtyard gate.

"Liu Xiangyang, Xue Bingbing, Le Qi, Le Yao, take your flashlights and gather in front of the village office. The village chief has something to say, so hurry up."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Liu Xiangyang picked up a flashlight and went outside the courtyard. He saw Xue Bingbing and the others coming out as well. The four of them then walked together toward the village office.

The three women looked somewhat flustered on the way. Xue Bingbing asked in a low voice, "Liu Xiangyang, do you know what happened? Why are you calling everyone together in the middle of the night?"

Le Yao: "Could it be that the American devils have invaded North Korea again?"

Le Yao's words made the other three laugh.

Leqi: "Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense. They just did table tennis diplomacy with us a few years ago. The Americans aren't that stupid."

Liu Xiangyang glanced at Le Qi in surprise. He hadn't expected that Le Qi, who was usually quiet, would have such a different perspective on things than the average person.

"I don't know either. At the same time, I told you all not to leave my side no matter what happens."

When everyone arrived at the village office, almost everyone was there, and they were all gathered around a bonfire, talking amongst themselves.

After each team leader has counted the number of people, they will inform Zhang Tiejun.

"Quiet down, everyone. We just received a report from our superiors that two KMT spies are fleeing towards us. The higher-ups have ordered all villages to guard their own territories and assist the higher authorities in capturing the KMT spies."
