The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 147: The World Athletics Championships Begin

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The World Athletics Championships Begin

So we must eliminate all the termite infestations before spring arrives!

If only we could keep a little pest controller at home that eats termites, that would be much more reassuring.

Xu Ying counted on her fingers, "It’s not necessarily hedgehogs, I’ll also consult with other little animals that eat termites, like mongooses, lizards, and birds, depending on what you all can handle."

Xu Ying plans to recruit more little animals for the Termite Extermination Team.

"Count us in!"

"We’re signing up too!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

...

The villagers eagerly signed up, and Xu Ying took out a gel pen and a notebook from her backpack. Ya Ya took the initiative to maintain order: "Uncles and aunties, please line up properly, this way Sister Xu can register you quickly."

The effect of the little one’s intervention to maintain order was particularly good; nobody wanted to lose face in front of the children, so they obediently lined up to register.

Aunt Bao finished cooking and came out to invite Xu Ying to eat together. She was a bit stunned to see this scene.

Yangyang explained what had just happened to his grandmother, "Grandma, should our family sign up?"

Aunt Bao playfully rubbed Yangyang’s nose with a smile: "Little Xu Station Chief mentioned to me before coming that if the hedgehog plan works, our family would be the first to sign up."

The two children were all smiles when they heard their family was the first to register: "That’s great!"

After the registration, villagers who saw Aunt Bao’s family about to start eating didn’t want to disturb them, so they left gifts and quickly slipped away.

At the dining table, Aunt Bao showed almost all her culinary skills, making seven dishes for the two adults and two children, with four meat dishes and three vegetarian ones.

Aunt Bao kept piling food into Xu Ying’s bowl, forming a mountain-like heap of food.

"Yingying, thank you so much, I never imagined your visit would help me so much, Auntie doesn’t even know how to thank you properly."

Not only was the injustice resolved, but Xu Ying also mobilized the villagers to help with rights protection, and she even said she would help Aunt Bao find a lawyer.

"No need to thank me, no need, I’m also helping these little creatures."

Xu Ying smiled as she watched the Big-eared Hedgehog on the bench munching on an apple.

"If you want to thank me, just help keep an eye out and take care of these little darlings in the desert in the future!"

Later, staff from the chemical testing institute arrived to conduct on-site inspections and take samples back for analysis at the homes of the villagers who used the solution.

As time passed, three days later, the chemical testing agency issued the results.

It turned out that the solution sold by Tian Lang and his team had harmful substance levels exceeding safety standards, and now the fight for rights was joined by all the villagers who bought the solution, not just Aunt Bao.

The police also got involved in the matter. After investigation, it was found that Tai Lin Biological was not just deceiving Da Huyang Village but was targeting remote villages in Xizhou Province, committing fraud, and the sales amount had exceeded fifty thousand yuan, constituting the sale of substandard products.

The termite experts also made an assessment of the situation in Da Huyang Village. Xu Ying’s plan to introduce the natural enemies of termites for biological control was deemed feasible.

However, since many villagers had used the anti-termite solution before, this biological control action had to wait for a month for the chemicals to dissipate and for the termites affected by the solution to die off before letting the little animals move in with peace of mind.

And Xu Ying could use this one-month gap to recruit members for the Termite Extermination Team and do proper planning and dispatching.

A week later, Xu Ying received a notice from headquarters that she could take the fennec fox family to her rescue station!

That day, Xu Ying got up early and took the little foxes’ favorite snacks, like milk chips and dried fruit bits, to pick them up.

When Xu Ying arrived at headquarters, she hadn’t even parked her car when she saw five fox cubs already crouching at the entrance, looking out. They sat in a row, looking just like little figurines.

Seeing Xu Ying’s flashy little car coming, the Little Ear Foxes dashed out like arrows leaving the string.

[Sister, sister, we can finally take Mom and the ear fox family members home!!]

[I miss Brother Bear so much, I want to jump on his belly like a trampoline at night~]

Hearing that the cubs had subconsciously already regarded Rescue Station 032 as home, Xu Ying felt a warmth in her heart.

During this time, the cubs had grown quite a bit, their fur became fluffier, the light yellow of their fur was more noticeable, and their ears had grown quite a bit, feeling so nice to touch.

With five fluffy ear foxes huddled around her feet, Xu Ying was almost immobilized.

Helplessly, she bent down and stuffed the little foxes into her arms one by one, and soon her arms were "filled" with foxes.

When she first rescued the fox cubs, she could almost hold all five in one hand, they could still hang around her shoulders and neck, but now, with both arms embracing them, she had the feeling they were overflowing.

Xu Ying indeed experienced what it’s like to raise cubs.

Though the cubs had grown quite a bit, their clingy warmth hadn’t changed, especially with their five little mouths all "smacking" on her face and neck.

With this happiness, Xu Ying blissfully entered the rescue headquarters.

Two animal rescuers were chatting inside.

"Did you see the trending topic? Ling Yu posted his first Weibo after a year offline, high-profile announcing his participation in the World Athletics Championship with a poster and the caption: ’Exceed Yourself!’

"I saw that, the comments section of that Weibo post was in an uproar. But I think it’s a good thing, at least it proves Ling Yu has moved on; the result doesn’t matter."

"I heard he was training in Yisha City before the competition. I haven’t heard of any training bases in Yisha City. What brought him to such a small place in Yisha City."

Xu Ying listened to the animal rescuers’ conversation, smiling but not joining in. The fact that Ling Yu was training in the desert was a secret she and Director Yi were keeping tightly, fearing it would trouble Ling Yu.

But Xu Ying believed that after this competition, Ling Yu wouldn’t need such protection anymore.

"Little Xu Station Chief, you’re here!"

The two rescuers saw Xu Ying hugging a bunch of foxes, their eyes revealing envy.

Fennec foxes aren’t friendly with just anyone; they are still quite vigilant around strangers.

One of the rescuers laughed and said, "These five little fox cubs sneaked out of their nests before dawn today and squatted at the rescue station entrance waiting for you."

"Is that so? So eager to go home, huh, babies."

Xu Ying kissed each of the foxes on their little cheeks, stirring another wave of envy from the two rescuers.

"By the way, Little Xu Station Chief, will you watch Ling Yu’s live competition tomorrow?"

Another rescuer seemed curious, "I saw you watching Ling Yu’s training videos last time. Are you a fan of his?"

Xu Ying thought about it, guessing it was noticed when she replayed videos of Ling Yu training at the rescue station.

Before she could respond, a male voice interjected, "What’s there to like about a coward like Ling Yu?"

Liu Kai from 014 Rescue Station walked in with sarcasm in his voice: "I guess people who like him are just face-worshipping fools."
