Chapter 922 Chasing the Wind, Don't Try to Rub Against Me
As Chuxue walked out, the village secretary was carrying a large cloth bag: "Chuxue, I've packed some dried vegetables from home for you to take with you."

Chu Xue knew it was his kind gesture, so she didn't refuse directly: "Secretary, I still have to go to my sister's place, and it's inconvenient to bring it with me. Besides, I'll be back on the third day of the Lunar New Year, so you can bring it for me then."

When the Party Secretary heard her say that, he said, "Alright, a few more days won't make a difference. And you, child, why did you bring so many expensive things over? You can't do that again."

Chu Xue smiled and waved to him: "That's our gift to you. Besides, we'll have to trouble you to take care of the house. Just accept it. I'm leaving now."

The Party Secretary slapped his forehead: "Oh right, I had them harvest the leftover radishes and cabbages from your field and store them in the cellar. Keep that in mind, and figure out how to take them with you later, so you don't have to spend money to buy vegetables again."

Chu Xue nodded: "Okay, I'll find a way to bring it back to the city later. Thank you all for your hard work."

The Party Secretary waved his hand at her: "Hey, it'll only take a little while, don't worry about it. There's still snow in those shady spots from the snow a few days ago. Be careful when you go over the mountain later."

After saying goodbye to the village secretary and his family, I returned to my own yard. To my surprise, I saw Zhuifeng, which had been borrowed by the commune's grain depot, standing in front of my yard. Seeing me down the slope, it excitedly rushed down the hill.

I was so excited that I wanted to jump on her.

She yelled, "Zhuifeng, don't rub against me!"

But it was too late. The dog stood up abruptly, put its front paws on Chuxue's shoulder, nuzzled and sniffed, and kept barking, "Zhuifeng, why did you run back by yourself?"

I originally planned to take it with me when I moved, but I didn't know what the city apartment would be like, so I decided to settle things first and then come back for it. The day before we were to leave, staff from the commune's grain station came and asked to borrow Zhuifeng. At first, they didn't want to agree, but the staff member said that someone was stealing grain from the station at night, and although they had been on guard all night, they hadn't caught the thief. Luckily, another staff member who came with us had a father who had worked with Xiao Shanliang at the reservoir, and that man had helped take him to the clinic when he was injured. So, they had no choice but to make do with Zhuifeng.

They left the section chief's office phone number and agreed that the dog would be returned once they caught the thief who stole the grain, and that they wouldn't use the dog for nothing.

They thought this was a good idea, saving them the trouble of leaving the dog in the village and having to ask others to feed it, so they agreed.

Before she went on her business trip, she called to inquire, and the grain station said it would probably be after the New Year. They would return the dog after the grain was transported away, and the subsidy would be calculated on a daily basis. Because of the favor that the father of the grain station staff member had done for Xiao Shanliang by sending him to the health center, she couldn't say anything even though she was not happy.

Unexpectedly, Zhuifeng came back on his own.

After the initial joy, a look of worry returned: "Zhuifeng, when did you get back?"

After asking, he was filled with anger: Did the people at the grain station know? Did they just run back and happen to run into him, or had they been running for several days and hadn't found out yet, or had they found out but hadn't contacted him?

He couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Zhuifeng, come on, let's go home for a walk, and after we finish our business, I'll take you to our new home in the city."

Meanwhile, the commune's grain station was in chaos: "What do you mean by this? Why did you let the dog go without permission? And why didn't you report it immediately when you found the dog was missing?"
If we can't find it, how can we explain it to the family?
