Qishui Brigade has a large population, nearly a thousand people, so a wild boar weighing over 200 jin (100 kg) is simply not enough to go around.

The brigade leader decided to go all the way and had the animal husbandry team slaughter a large, fat pig weighing over 300 jin (approximately 150 kg), which was then distributed among the people, so that each person could get about 4 liang (approximately 200 grams) of pork.

Before Bai Nuo came, he had discussed it with Sun Yuxi and the others. He only wanted 20 catties of pork, and the rest he wanted were four pig trotters, two pig ears, pig liver, and pig lungs.

These scraps of pig meat are not popular in this era, so Bai Nuo is not at a loss. It can also shut up some petty gossips.

Bai Nuo selected ten catties of wild boar meat and ten catties of fatty pork, along with the remaining scraps, and happily ran back to her little house.

She had already asked Grandpa Zhao to help prepare the materials needed for making the bread oven, and she got to work quickly, finishing the bread oven in just over half an hour. However, it wouldn't be usable tonight.

With no other option, Bai Nuo lit the stove in the house and cooked dinner while curing bacon.

We have 20 jin of pork. We'll keep 5 jin of pork belly for stir-frying these next couple of days, and put the rest in a large wooden basin to marinate with seasonings. It will be ready to be roasted in about four or five hours. Tomorrow morning, we'll hang it on the drying rack in the backyard.

Two pig trotters were left outside, one to be used for soup and the other to be stewed with potatoes tomorrow. The pig liver and lungs were reserved for the wolf cubs.

After dinner, Bai Nuo closed and locked the front and back doors and windows, drew the curtains and drapes, and spread out the quilts and pillows on the kang before returning to her space.

"925, take these and bake them. Also, pig liver and lungs are for the wolf cubs."

"Yes, little master."

Dressed in a suit and tie, looking like an aristocratic elite butler, 925 gave Bai Nuo a slight bow, then turned and went to the kitchen of the small pavilion, carrying a large wooden basin that was completely out of character for him.

"How about we change 925's image? I'm getting so frustrated looking at him all this time!" Bai Nuo said, looking at 925's departing figure, feeling a little awkward.

"Then I'll find him a suitable set of work clothes later?"

The system didn't seem to have any particular thoughts about it. It found the suit in the clothing section of the storage room in the space; in the novels it had read before, the butler dressed like that.

only……

The system turned its head to look at its naturally smiling little host and sighed softly.

It's unlikely that the butler of 925 will ever have the chance to utter that classic line in his life.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Nuo felt that the system's brain was full of nonsense right now!

"I wasn't thinking about anything, I wasn't thinking about anything. Host, shouldn't we give the little wolf cub a name? We can't just keep calling him Wolf Cub, can we? If we go into the mountains and call out that name, a lot of wolf cubs will probably respond, and our little wolf cub will lose face."

That makes sense!

Bai Nuo was sitting on the lawn when the little wolf cub, who was playing nearby, came running over and jumped into Bai Nuo's arms, rolling around in his arms.

The little system, which had already been coaxed (brainwashed) by its host before going to collect the pork, was no longer jealous. It obediently sat on its host's shoulder and looked down at the rascal.

"How about we call him Dog Egg? A humble name is easier to raise!" The system still didn't quite like this shameless wolf.

"No, no." Bai Nuo shook her head in resistance. "You have no idea how many eggs our brigade has. If this name is called out, it can at least name a whole class of kids."

Bai Nuo looked down at the wolf cub, stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "I've heard before that many people name their pets with auspicious meanings, such as Laiqian (meaning 'comes to make money'), Wangcai (meaning 'prosperous'), and Duomi (meaning 'doomi'). These names sound so nice, they sound like they're about to bring wealth!"

The system asked in confusion, "Fugui, Fugui'er?"

Bai Nuo's face lit up with a bright smile, and he nodded repeatedly: "A Tong is so smart, from now on the little wolf cub will be called Fu Gui'er, Wei Fu Gui!"

"Huh?" The system looked at its host with a blank expression, its mind full of question marks.

It's smart because of what it says!

However, looking at the smiling face of its host!

Oh well, whatever, as long as its host is happy!

but……

"Host, why is your surname Wei and not Bai? Are you going to take your maternal grandmother's surname?"

"It wasn't intentional." Bai Nuo shook her head, petting the wolf as she explained to the little system, "Think about it, Bai Fugui'er, Bai Fugui'er, rich and powerful for nothing, it sounds a bit unlucky. But Wei Fugui is different, for our wealth and glory, how meaningful!"

"Ah!!!" The system suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, "The host is right, the host is the real genius."

"That's right, I'm a genius!"

The little girl sitting on the grass stood tall and proud, her smile as bright and dazzling as the sunshine.

"By the way, host, are you really planning to take Fugui out to raise him? Although there are no animal protection laws yet, wolves are man-eating beasts after all. I'm worried that raising him in the educated youth compound might cause unnecessary trouble."

"That's alright!" Bai Nuo wasn't worried at all and said seriously, "I'll just insist that Fugui'er is a dog, a dog that looks like a wolf. There's no universal detection instrument made in interstellar space outside, so no matter how fancy the argument goes, our Fugui'er is still a dog."

The system opened its mouth, silently babbled twice, and finally sighed softly.

Alright, that's one way to do it. After all, who can be more stubborn than its host?

If it's called a dog, then it has to be a dog!

Ever since, the Bai family has had a dog named Wei Fugui'er, who is actually a wolf!

In the following days, Bai Nuo leisurely rode Black Wind with Xiao Fugui during the day, acting as a team leader. He even specially wove a small basket to hang next to the saddle, specifically to carry Fugui.

Little Fugui also mingled with the foal, and occasionally he would climb on the back of Weifeng (the big dog that looked after the children and gathered pig feed) to play.

Believe it or not, Weifeng really likes Xiao Fugui. He often licks Xiao Fugui's fur and takes him out to sunbathe.

After several days of happiness, Bai Nuo finally got her first day off.

After finishing work that day, Bai Nuo hurriedly ran back to the courtyard, intending to ride her bicycle directly back to the county town to stay overnight, and then visit her great-uncle the next morning. She also planned to prepare the goods to be shipped out, as there was now another mouth to feed in the family.

Bai Nuo had just finished dinner and didn't go back to her space to take a shower. Instead, she took a shower in the small house's bathroom. She had never used this bathroom before and suddenly wanted to experience it.

Then……

That was it!

She still prefers the high-end bathroom in her small attic, which is filled with modern technology.
