Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 172 The Cow Ran Away

After embryo transfer, all that remains is the observation period.

Gu Zhan felt much more relaxed as Guo Zhida's team was taking care of the cattle farm day and night.

Apart from reviewing books at home, he either coaxes his daughter.

Liu Xiaoxi had lost some of her enthusiasm for reading and studying because she had always been alone. Now that Gu Zhan had joined her, she felt much more comfortable.

Gu Zhan made rapid progress in all subjects and was also quick in solving problems. Liu Xiaoxi felt inferior to him and felt a sense of urgency, so she chased after Gu Zhan from behind.

Huang Guihua came several times and saw her daughter and son-in-law reading.

Before, when her daughter was reading, she just thought it was a spur of the moment thing, but now that both of them were reading, Huang Guihua felt a little confused.

That day, while Gu Zhan was at the cattle farm, Huang Guihua pulled her daughter aside and asked, "What's the point of you two reading books every day? You'd better spend that time taking care of Xinxin."

Liu Xiaoxi said this for a reason. When the young couple read, they sometimes put the child on the kang to play by himself. Now the child can crawl. Once, if Huang Guihua had not been quick-eyed and quick-handed, the child would have almost fallen to the ground.

Huang Guihua had never had any objection to the young couple reading books, but ever since that incident, she felt a little dissatisfied.

Reading and studying are not as important as having my own granddaughter.

"Mom, don't worry. Xinxin is fine. We just didn't notice it last time. Now we are always paying attention to your granddaughter and won't let her fall off the kang."

Seeing that her daughter didn't listen to her, Huang Guihua was so angry that she just stared blankly, but there was nothing she could do.

My daughter listens too much to her son-in-law.

Huang Guihua was so angry that she simply didn't care what the couple did and came to look after her granddaughter whenever she had time.

It was just dawn that morning when there was a knock on Gu Zhan's door.

Liu Xiaoxi was still confused, thinking she was dreaming. She muttered something, turned over and continued to sleep.

Gu Zhan woke up early and heard everything clearly.

"Gu Zhan!"

It was Zhou Guoping's voice. Zhou Guoping had been working at the cattle farm. He came to see him so early, most likely because an accident had happened at the cattle farm.

In just a few seconds, Gu Zhan had thought about all the possible things that might happen after the embryo transplant.

After glancing at the sleeping profiles of his wife and daughter, Gu Zhan carefully turned over and got off the kang, gently opened the door and walked out.

Little Gu Xinxin heard the sound, moved her little mouth, and continued to sleep.

The sky outside was gray and a heavy rain was brewing.

Gu Zhan almost ran to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Zhou Guoping with a sad face, as if he was about to cry.

"What's wrong? What happened so early in the morning?" Gu Zhan asked.

"Gu Zhan, hurry up, something happened at the cattle farm." Zhou Guoping said in a crying voice.

"Don't be impatient, explain it slowly and clearly." After his guess was confirmed, Gu Zhan calmed down instead.

"The five cows that Team Leader Guo asked us to take special care of ran away."

The cow ran away? When Gu Zhan heard Zhou Guoping say this, it seemed like a fairy tale.

How can it be?

All the cows are in the cattle farm. Not only is the gate of the cattle farm completely closed at night, but even the cow shed is closed at night. More importantly, the cows are tied up in the cow shed.

Therefore, under layers of protection, no cow can run away from the farm on its own.

"Have you searched all over the cattle ranch?"

"We looked for it, but there was nothing. We searched every cowshed, but still found no trace."

"Have you notified Team Leader Guo and Captain Zhao?"

"We notified several of them separately."

"Okay, you go first, I'll be right behind you."

"Okay, Gu Zhan, hurry up."

Zhou Guoping is now very panicked. He is now almost placing all his hopes on Gu Zhan. This man has quick reactions and a sharp eye, and he will definitely be able to find the key to the problem.

Walking on the road, Zhou Guoping prayed in his heart countless times, please find these cows. This is the result of everyone's hard work for half a year, and nothing can go wrong at this time.

Gu Zhan returned to the main room again and gently stroked Liu Xiaoxi's face.

Liu Xiaoxi woke up instantly when she felt the coldness.

She subconsciously glanced around herself and saw that Gu Zhan was not there. She turned around and saw Gu Zhan standing by the kang, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Liu Xiaoxi's voice was soft and sweet when she just woke up, and Gu Zhan liked to hear it.

"Zhou Guoping just came over and said there was a problem at the cattle farm. I need to go over and take a look. You watch the kids. I'll be back soon."

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"The experimental cow got lost from the cattle farm."

"The cow is lost? How is that possible?"

Liu Xiaoxi regained consciousness instantly. She looked at Gu Zhan in disbelief. "Isn't there always someone watching over the cattle farm at night? How could he get lost?"

Seeing that Liu Xiaoxi had also figured out the key to the problem, Gu Zhan smiled softly and said, "My wife is really smart. It is indeed like that. So I suspect that this incident was not an accident, but a man-made one."

"Man-made? Isn't it good for everyone if the cattle are well-raised? What do they want to do?"

Gu Zhan sneered softly: "Perhaps the interests can never be balanced?"

After Gu Zhan said this, Liu Xiaoxi was speechless. No matter how fair the distribution system is, it will naturally have its own emphasis or omissions. How can it be possible to achieve equality for everyone?

"Then go and come back quickly!"

"Well, I'll try to come back as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

The weather was not very good, so Gu Zhan put on a coat outside and left. When he reached the gate, he subconsciously looked back at the half-open door, walked back and closed the door, then quickly walked towards the cattle farm.

Liu Xiaoxi got up as soon as Gu Zhan left. Without Gu Zhan around, she suddenly felt that sleeping was not so peaceful, so she got up and read a book while her daughter was sleeping.

The cattle farm is in chaos now.

Zhao Baogen had a bicycle and arrived first.

When he arrived at the cattle farm, he raised his voice and asked, "Who was on duty last night?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the cattle farm staff looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Zhou Guoping stepped forward. He lowered his head and whispered, "Captain, I was on duty last night."

Zhao Baogen looked at Zhou Guoping with a gloomy expression and asked, "Did anything unusual happen at the cattle farm yesterday afternoon and evening?"

Zhou Guoping knew he couldn't escape this disaster, so he mumbled for a long time before saying, "Last night, I was on duty the first half of the night. Nothing unusual happened, so I thought it was all right. After midnight, I wanted to take a nap, but I was so tired during the day that I woke up at daybreak. Then, when I was feeding the cows, I realized they were gone."

As soon as Zhou Guoping finished speaking, he felt several pairs of eyes staring at him.

"I...this matter is my fault. If only I hadn't overslept."

Zhao Baogen kept a sullen face and said nothing. Now was not the time to assign blame. The most important thing at the moment was to find the lost cow first.
