Chapter 460: Baby Cow

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The weather gradually turned warmer. Although it didn’t feel hot yet, the coldness in the air had mostly disappeared.

The temperature now was nice and comfortable.

It had been more than two months since Xiaoguo and the others returned to the fishing village. In the past two months, the cold air had completely disappeared. The land had regained its vitality, and the sunny and beautiful weather had returned.

Spring, the most lovable season of all, has arrived.

Along with spring, there was also some good news—the cow was about to give birth.

Su Changsheng took this very seriously and specially brought the vet over from the capital.

After a diagnosis from the vet, they were able to determine the exact date of delivery.

…..

Xiaoguo had been kept busy with this over the past few days. She was also writing less frequently to Jiang Danhe.

In order to provide a good birthing environment for the cows, they cleaned the animal shed once again and laid a thin layer of dry hay in the corner. They also led the male cow out and left the female cow to wait for delivery on its own.

Sister Xiaoguo, is there too little grass?”

I don’t think so.”

Xiaoguo looked at the hay under the cow and replied with uncertainty. She had no experience in delivering calves, but she had some experience in delivering piglets. Both should be similar in some ways.

Xiao Zhu nodded and stared curiously at the rear end of the cow.

Xiaoguo saw what she was doing and asked in horror, “What are you looking at?”

“Why are you staring at the cow’s butt? Cows can feel shy too…”

Hehe,” Xiao Zhu said with an embarrassed smile. “I’m feeling a little curious.”

Feeling amused, Xiaoguo tapped her forehead and tried to get up.

However, she suddenly felt dizzy and weak in her legs, as if she was about to fall down. It was perhaps due to her crouching for too long or possibly some other reason.

Fortunately, Yu Ling was standing behind her and managed to grab hold of her

Sister Xiaoguo?! Are you alright?

Yu Ling asked nervously. Startled by what just happened, Xiao Zhu quickly ran over to support her.

Seeing the nervous expressions on their faces, Xiaoguo smiled. “I’m fine. Perhaps I’ve been squatting for too long, that’s why I felt dizzy when I stood up suddenly. I’m really fine.”

Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu observed her carefully for a while before feeling relieved.

Sister Xiaoguo, we’ll keep watch tonight.”

As they weren’t sure what time the cow would go into labor, they decided to keep a close eye on it for the next few days, even during night time.

At night, Xiaoguo would get up several times to check on the cows. Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling did try to take over, but Xiaoguo refused their help, citing the reason that children grow fastest during their sleep.

No matter what, they must not let her wake up to check on the cows again tonight!

“No need.”

Xiaoguo shook her head without thinking.

No way!”

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling spoke in unison and resolution.

Seeing them like this, Xiaoguo swallowed her words and nodded in agreement.

Xiaozhu and Yuling were finally happy now that Xiaoguo had agreed to let them watch over the cow at night.

“By the way, Sister Xiaoguo, have you been vomiting over the past two days?”

Yu Ling looked at Xiaoguo, feeling heartbroken that she had lost weight. She also didn’t know what was going on, but she noticed that their sister had been vomiting recently and couldn’t stand the smell of food. She could barely eat a few bites, and if she ate slightly more, she would vomit.

“I’m fine.”

Xiaoguo smiled and shook her head. “I think I’ve been having some digestive issues. I was starting to feel much better over the past few days.”

It was true that her loss of appetite came quite suddenly. She had some stomach issues before, but it had not bothered her for a long time. So far, she hasn’t had any issues since coming here. It was a bit strange for her to suddenly fall ill out of the blue.

“Why don’t you see a doctor? You’re being so stubborn.”

Xiao Zhu said immediately, feeling angry and sad that she didn’t care about her health.

“Alright, alright. Don’t be angry.” Xiaoguo patted her shoulder and comforted her with a smile. “I’ve never taken any medicine or seen a doctor for my stomach problems. Don’t worry, it always gets better after a few days. Look, I’m feeling energized again.”

As Xiaoguo spoke, she jumped a few times on the spot for them to see, afraid that they wouldn’t believe her.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling’s worries were temporarily dispelled, but they still insisted that she take a good rest for the night. The two of them could watch the cow instead.

Unable to dissuade them, Xiaoguo had no choice but to agree.

After returning to the room, she lay on the bed exhausted. She hasn’t been feeling well for the past few days, and the reason for her waking up at night was because she could not sleep well. Just when she finally stopped vomiting, sleep became problematic. It was really quite annoying.

She touched the fats on her stomach and wondered if those ailments were caused by her weight gain.

She had gained a lot of weight recently. After vomiting for the past few days, she didn’t lose any weight at all.

She couldn’t fall asleep at night and had problems getting up during the day.

Not long after returning from the capital, Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling took over the responsibility of cooking three meals a day. This was because Xiaoguo couldn’t stand the smell of oil and smoke due to her upset stomach. The other reason was because she would fall asleep in the blink of an eye, even halfway during a conversation.

She was feeling quite helpless about it. How good would it be if she could fall asleep as easily at night as she did during the day?

As she thought about it, her eyes became heavier and heavier, and she quickly dozed off.

Shortly after, Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling stood at the door and peeked in. It was just as they had expected.

Sighing helplessly, they entered the house and skillfully took off Xiaoguo’s shoes and covered her with a blanket. After doing everything, the two of them left the house and did not forget to close the door behind them.

At night, Xiao Zhu sleepily took a candle and stumbled out of her room, yawning all the way to the shed. When she held up the candle, she was so shocked that she almost screamed.

In that instant, she was pleasantly surprised and shocked. After pacing on the spot for a long time, she finally remembered to go look for someone.

Not daring to disturb Sister Xiaoguo who had just fallen asleep with great difficulty, she went back to the room and woke up Yu Ling.

Yu Ling was not sound asleep yet. She woke up immediately when Xiao Zhu touched her.

What’s wrong, what’s wrong?”

She seemed rather tense. When she saw Xiao Zhu’s strange expression, she was very shocked.

“The cow has given birth!!

Xiao Zhu suppressed her excitement and managed to blurt out what she was trying to say.

Yu Ling quickly put on her shoes and headed outside, not forgetting to drag Xiao Zhu along with her. “Let’s go!”

When they arrived at the livestock shed, Yu Ling asked Xiao Zhu to hold the candle for her while she went in to take a look.

The other day, when the vet was talking about how to deal with the new calves, Yu Ling had paid close attention, so she was confident that she could handle it by herself.

Xiao Zhu was not as bold as her, so she could only hold the candle to provide illumination for Yu Ling.

As soon as she brought the candle closer, she realized that there was only a pool of blood on the ground. The calf was standing beside the mother cow and started drinking milk right in front of them.

There was no need for the two of them to do anything.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling stared at the little cow for a long time and noticed that it could walk and eat. Although it was still not walking steadily, that was just a small issue. Once the newborn was able to stand up, everything would turn out fine.

After cleaning up the blood, they added some grains and hay that had been prepared beforehand to the food trough. The water bowl was also topped up before they returned to their rooms to sleep.

When Xiaoguo opened her eyes, she noticed the new-born calf in the livestock shed. At first, she thought that she was dreaming. It took her a while to fully wake up and listen to Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling’s explanation.

“You guys are amazing!”

Xiaoguo hugged the two of them happily and praised them for their calmness and composure under such circumstances.

Now that there was milk, it was time to get busy!

Xiaoguo was filled with confidence as she started with the preparations.

First, she took out her customized sterilization furnace. Although it looked quite basic, it had the same functions as any other sterilization set-ups.

“Go and bring us our newly-bought wooden buckets.”

After Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling left to bring the buckets, Xiaoguo hid in the house and traveled to the other space. After rummaging through her things, she finally found a thermometer in one corner.

Her face lit up. She just recalled that there was one in the kitchen. Sure enough, it was still there. She just didn’t know if it was working.

Without hesitation, she immediately flashed out of the space.

…..

Xiaoguo wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but in recent days, the process of traveling in and out of the space was starting to get difficult. It used to be quite effortless.

In the past, because she had her own kitchen and food supplies in the space, she didn’t have to worry about Zhuang Zhuang starving with her. After getting through this period of time, and having made more money, the space didn’t serve much of a purpose anymore.

It felt like the current space had served its purpose and that it was time for it to move on..
