Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 494 - 494 489 Fierce Little Hen

Chapter 494: Chapter 489 Fierce Little Hen Chapter 494: Chapter 489 Fierce Little Hen The trunk was packed full with groceries, including a chicken and a duck.

Memberland found a cardboard box in the store, and he put the chicken and duck together in it.

Mu Jiawen asked with some concern, “They won’t fight, will they?”

Yang Dan replied offhandedly, “Let them fight, it’ll save you from plucking them.”

As she spoke, she was carrying a big bag of green-skinned radishes, thinking to herself that people had planned to feed these to the pigs, but now, they’re all sold to you.

After cramming everything in, Mu Jiawen just managed to close the trunk lid, then placed the box with the chicken and duck on the back seat, figuring it wouldn’t be a big deal since they would be home soon.

After starting the car and before leaving, she remembered to ask Yang Dan, “When are you leaving?”

Since her parents were there, she definitely had to go back to her hometown for the New Year festivities.

“Guan Jiao and Ding Yamin are thinking of leaving on the 26th. Basically, going home early doesn’t do any good; I’m planning to wait for the two of them,” Yang Dan said.

Knowing that she wouldn’t be alone in her travels, Mu Jiawen felt relieved.

Just a few days ago, a senior from her lab went back to her grandmother’s place for a funeral. While getting her ticket checked at the station, someone pinched her butt. She wanted to call the police but was afraid of missing her train, so she endured the anger and boarded anyway.

A middle-aged man sat across from her, likely noticing she was alone, and kept trying to strike up a conversation with her, even asking for her phone number. What was more outrageous was that he eventually put his foot between her legs.

Unable to tolerate it anymore, she sought help from a train officer, accusing him of sexual harassment.

The term was quite unpleasant to hear, and even though it wasn’t her fault, many people on the train looked at her in a way that made her feel uncomfortable.

In the end, even though she had a seat, she still had to follow the officer to sit in the dining car.

Anyway, during the time leading up to the New Year, there are a lot of people taking the train, including all sorts of riff-raff and thugs. Pretty girls, especially those traveling alone, can easily attract the attention of those with evil intentions.

Mu Jiawen briefly recounted to Yang Dan what had happened to her senior, instructing her to be vigilant when taking the train and to remember to carry the small bottle of mosquito repellent spray she gave her in the summer. In case someone tried to take advantage of her, she should spray it directly in their face.

Anyway, if you accidentally get taken advantage of, don’t hesitate to get back at them first.

In reality, if you make a fuss, those people also wouldn’t dare to do much, since there are police both at the stations and on the trains.

Memberland listened silently on the side, and after Mu Jiawen left, he said to Yang Dan, “Why don’t I drive you back this year? I’ve never been to Yunzhou, and this could be a good opportunity to check it out.”

Yang Dan remained silent, thinking that if Memberland were to give her a ride back, it wouldn’t be proper not to invite him into her home. But if she brought him home, under what pretext? She hadn’t even mentioned him to her parents yet.

After a moment’s thought, she shook her head and said, “No need, I’ll go with Ding Yamin and Guan Jiao; nothing will happen.”

“I can drive all three of you.”

“Really, it’s not necessary.”

…

Meanwhile, Mu Jiawen had driven back to Qinghe Garden. Just as she parked her car in front of her building, she rolled down the window and shouted to Yu Feng and Yi Hailan who were standing outside, “Brother Yu, Sister Yi, come help me catch the chicken.”

Through the back seat window glass, one could vaguely see something flapping around inside, indicating quite a ruckus.

Even before opening the back door of the car, Yu Feng realized that she must have been to the Agricultural University again.

He approached and asked in surprise, “How come you can still buy chickens now that it’s vacation time? Was it because your assignment wasn’t satisfactory and they returned it? That’s great, how many did they return?”

Mu Jiawen lifted her hand to brush off a piece of chicken feather stuck on her bangs and angrily said, “Just one, and I seriously suspect this is some hybrid of a rooster and a hen, otherwise how can a hen be so fierce? It broke free from the rope and flapped all the way down the road, scaring that little duck so much it didn’t dare make a sound.”

“Yo, you even bought ducks this time, are there any geese?”

“No, there are pigs.”

Yu Feng’s eyes lit up, “There are pigs too? Open the door quickly and let me have a look.”

“What’s there to see, I meant the Agricultural University has pigs, but they are not for sale.”

Yi Hailan was staring with a pair of big, curious eyes at the brother and sister, not understanding what they were talking about at all.

At this moment, Yu Feng had already opened the rear door of the car, leaned in while bending down without even reaching out his hand, he got flapped in the face by the lively little hen.

“Whoa!”

He closed his eyes and spat out a tuft of down that had flown into his mouth, then quickly took advantage of the situation to grab the chicken, “Rebellion, huh…”

“Cluck cluck cluck…”

Yu Feng held the chicken as he came out of the car, not forgetting to glance at the little duck cowering in the box without moving, and couldn’t help clicking his tongue, “Xiaosi, perhaps you are right, this hen must carry rooster genes. Look at what it’s done to the duck’s neck, it’s almost completely bald.”

That hit the nail on the head!

Yi Hailan came forward to help with the duck, and Yu Feng said to her, holding up the little hen, “You’re in for a treat tonight. The chicken raised by students at the Agricultural University is different from what you buy at the market. They feed them on a well-planned scientific diet; the protein, fat, and carbohydrates in these chickens are healthier and more balanced than ours. Of course, the most important thing is that they taste better.”

In short, everything said before was nonsense, only the last sentence was true.

Yi Hailan was surprised and asked, “Do the students at the Agricultural University actually sell their chickens?”

“That’s not it. Xiaosi has a classmate at the Agricultural University. She took advantage of a back door to buy from the experimental base.”

By this time, Mu Jiawen had also gotten out of the car, walked around to the trunk, and opened the lid only for a bag of something to drop out abruptly. She dodged quickly; otherwise, it would have landed right on her foot.

“What’s that?”

Yu Feng, hearing the noise, came over and saw the full trunk, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Are you having a clearance sale before the holiday?”

Then he bent down and squatted, one hand gripping the chicken, while the other hand, even though it was empty, managed to skilfully untie the rope binding the bag. When he saw it was radishes, he laughed immediately, “I was just thinking about buying some to stew with pork ribs yesterday, and now here they are…”

Yi Hailan, with the cardboard box of ducks in her arms, walked over, and Mu Jiawen looked at her and said, “Sister Yi, see if there is any vegetable you like. Take some with you when you leave.”

Yu Feng hurriedly explained to her, “These are also vegetables planted by students at the Agricultural University. They are better than what you buy outside. I’ll pack some for you in a bit.”

Yi Hailan, usually carefree, now felt a little shy. They had only just confirmed their relationship not long ago, and now here she was taking vegetables directly from their home?

It felt a little embarrassing.

Together, the three of them moved the vegetables inside, and Yi Hailan scanned the kitchen, quickly memorizing their habit of storing things. Then she rolled up her sleeves and efficiently classified and stored all the vegetables, and in no time, the messy kitchen was neat and tidy again.

Yu Feng and Mu Jiawen, brother and sister, were both somewhat astonished.

Such efficiency… was truly endearing.

“What do you want to eat tonight?”

Looking at her stance, was she planning to cook herself?
