GV Ch 4 — The Cow’s Difficult Birth, With the Shocking Reason Being…
With her arm now inserted into the birth canal beneath the cow’s rectum, Lin Xuejun felt an immense pressure bearing down heavily on her limb. She paused slightly, took a deep breath, and leaned sideways as she gradually probed deeper into the cow’s uterus.
The warm, moist birth canal actually helped dispel some of the chill, and the goosebumps on her right arm from the cold faded away.
A coat was draped over her shoulders, and to prevent it from slipping, someone had tied the sleeves around her neck in a knot.

GV Ch 3 — The Girl Who Reached into a Cow’s Rear
The sudden appearance of a stranger immediately drew everyone’s attention. The brigade leader froze for a moment before furrowing his brows.
“Why did you come out too?” He glared at her, then turned to the other educated youths gathered around watching the commotion. Spotting Yi Xiuyu, he scolded her, “I told you to take good care of the sick girl. How could you let her out?”
As if Lin Xuejun were some uncontrollable, bizarre creature.

GV Ch 2 — Difficult Calving
The tens of thousands of livestock in the Seventh Production Brigade of the Husehe Commune were divided into several herds, each assigned to different herding households for care.
Larger families with more members were given bigger herds, sometimes numbering thousands of cattle, horses, sheep, camels, and donkeys.
Smaller households received smaller herds, though usually still consisting of several hundred animals.

GV Ch 1 — Comrade Lin Xuejun
Probably because she’d had a bit to drink at the Beipiao1 alumni gathering, Lin Xuejun ran a slight fever that night. She drank some hot water and went straight to sleep, only to open her eyes and find herself in the Seventh Production Team of Husehe Commune, on the northern frontier in the 1960s.
The original body she had transmigrated into was also named Lin Xuejun, a sixteen-year-old girl.
While the other educated youths had gone out to work at dawn, she remained on the kang2, battling a severe cold.

GV Prologue: The 1960s Educated Youth of the Grasslands
Summer in Beijing was unbearably hot. Sweat poured down in buckets, only to be chilled and dried by the laboring air conditioner. The machine wheezed and groaned like an old man struggling for breath, yet the private room remained stifling, offering no relief.
As Lin Xuejun stepped inside, the mingled scents of evaporating sweat from different bodies filled her nostrils with each breath.
“Dr. Lin is here!” The class monitor, seated inside, was the first to spot her and greeted her with a smile.
Hearing this, the old classmates gathered for the reunion burst into laughter.

SASCTC Ch 8 — That Damn Curiosity
The elevator doors closed once again, and after ascending several floors, someone finally broke the silence in the quiet cabin with a hushed voice, “I never expected to run into President Wen here.”
“It’s not that surprising. The Wen and Huo families have always been quite close after all.”
“He seems different from the rumors. I heard he’s very fierce, but he seemed quite gentle.”

However, since many people were booking rooms, they couldn’t stay indefinitely. Jiang Ci had previously set a rule that no one could book a room for more than five days at a time.
Winter coats, quilts, and down jackets from the convenience store were still selling well. Survivors who had bought them before, realizing their benefits, came back to purchase a second set as backup.
After returning, Jiang Ci spent a month completing a major mission and exchanged it for a furniture and appliance factory.

Jiang Ci’s parents adapted quite well, smiling and nodding. “Alright, we’ll go explore another day. This place is much more convenient than our small town. We can even grow some vegetables in the small yard downstairs. When you come back, you can eat the vegetables we grow.”
“Sure, if you want to grow something, go ahead. If not, planting some flowers would be nice too,” Jiang Ci replied.
Back in the small yard downstairs, Jiang Ci showed her parents to their room. She had given them the largest room, which had its own bathroom, making everything very convenient.

This day was almost entirely consumed by these tasks, but fortunately, her luck was good, and all the procedures went smoothly.
When Jiang Ci stepped out of the relevant department, the sky outside was gradually darkening.
She had arrived here just in time to be the last one. The staff inside were about to leave for the day, but seeing that she had come, they quickly processed her paperwork.
That’s why Jiang Ci felt her luck was particularly good today. Normally, the staff here weren’t the most friendly.

The survivors immediately broke into smiles, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from their hearts.
After settling these people, Jiang Ci made another trip to the hospital. The survivors with minor injuries had already been bandaged up and were sitting obediently in the hospital lobby, waiting for Jiang Ci to pick them up.
The cold weather had led to many cases of the flu, so the hospital was still bustling with people coming and going.
Once the survivors had collected their medications, Jiang Ci led them back to the base.

Hui Hui and her three babies were placed in the back seat, so Jiang Ci also moved from the front passenger seat to the back to stay with them.
The newborn Xiao Honghong’s head had a jade-like luster to it, feeling both warm and comfortable to the touch, like a natural hand warmer.
Seeing that there was no one beside him, Song Jinchuan pursed his lips, and the smile that had just appeared on his face gradually faded away. He started the vehicle, still feeling a bit down.

“They knew you were coming back today and have been waiting at the base entrance since early in the morning. Do you want to go see them now?” Xie Ling asked.
Xie Ling was one of the managers of the base that had been appointed by Jiang Ci. She would consolidate the information given to her before relaying it to Jiang Ci, as Jiang Ci had too many things to do and couldn’t always be on site in the base.
“Alright, let’s go see them. Which city’s base are they from?”

Fu Lin handed Fu Yue a beef bun. As she took a small bite, the steam from the bun rose in the cold air, carrying with it the aroma of the food.
At that moment, the meaning of happiness seemed to condense into a tangible form.
The chatter in the carriage seemed to quiet down as everyone began to eat heartily, filling their bellies until they were both full and warm.
“So this is how people in C City live. How blissful.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ci furrowed her brows slightly. The snowstorm over the past few days had indeed been quite severe, but she hadn’t expected it to be able to cause such damage to the buildings in other bases.
Although she heard such incidents had occurred in previous years, the probability of them happening was actually quite low.
“Were there any casualties?” Jiang Ci asked.

RHRPAW Ch 109
By the light of the orange flame, the survivors could now clearly see the faces of Song Jinchuan and Jiang Ci.
“Isn’t that Boss Jiang and Captain Song?” Although Song Jinchuan had already left the Cheetah Squad a long time ago, the survivors still habitually liked to refer to him as Captain Song.
The one who recognized them was a survivor who often went on missions outside the base. He had been to C City several times, back when Gourmet City was just a lone hotpot restaurant, so he recognised Jiang Ci.

RHRPAW Ch 108
But this was the norm in some bases. The apocalypse had amplified all of the survivors’ innate desires, turning those who once appeared righteous on the surface into the greedy individuals they really were.
Jiang Ci watched as survivors poked their heads out of their houses upon hearing the commotion. They seemed to be suffering greatly from the harsh winter, their faces already turning blue from the cold.
Soon, they arrived at the place where Zhao Mengqi and her family lived.

“Mengqi?” The girl beside her called out to her again when she didn’t respond.
Zhao Mengqi snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head. “No, my mother and sister are waiting for me at home, so I need to go back quickly.”
“There’s a hospital here too, and I heard that someone who suffered from toxin accumulation from eating a mutated beast was saved by Boss Jiang. You could try bringing your mother here for a check-up,” the girl kindly reminded her.

Jiang Ci had mentioned earlier that when no one was occupying the beds, he could sleep on one, but if someone needed it, he could also take the caregiver’s bed that was available.
Now, in the quiet hospital, Fan Zhipeng finally let out a sigh of relief. He fetched hot water from the bathroom to wipe the base leader’s face and hands, then quickly washed up himself before collapsing onto the bed.
He had fought his way out, protecting the base leader, and carried the unconscious man over long distances. Finally, when they neared C City, they had managed to…

Instead, the bathhouse was divided into various pools of different sizes, all of them for different functions. Jiang Ci saw milk pools, massage pools, as well as ordinary hot water pools.
For Jiang Ci, her favorite was the private hot spring area. Although it was more expensive, it allowed her to soak alone or with her family without any interruptions from outsiders.
Besides the pools, there were also sauna rooms, shower rooms, and areas for dining and resting. Each person had their own room and locker for them to change into their clothes ensuring full privacy, with no one able…
