Subordinate Doting - Chap 79
Ji Tingyu has been in charge here for seven years. He has been at the forefront of everything, including building bridges and roads, and rescuing and providing disaster relief. The three roads currently in operation, from Nivelles to Yanhui Mountain, Evian and Aga Snow City, were all built bit by bit by him and his men.
The boundary marker eroded by wind and snow was what He Zhuo saw when he set foot on the snowfield on his first day. Next to the mottled name of the Neville boundary was a cute cat’s paw symbol – it was a medal of honor carved for him by the locals.
It’s a pity that after Ji Tingyu passed away, they didn’t even dare to mention his name.

The four of them quickly reached the foot of the mountain and prepared to inspect the snow cave.
The so-called snow cave is actually a slightly larger snow nest that can accommodate seven or eight people, and is mostly dug in the concave foot of the mountain.
There are steel frames and ventilation ducts in the cave, and a simple mechanism is installed on the top of the cave. When there is an air raid or bandit attack, people can hide in the cave and trigger the mechanism, and the snow on the hillside will collapse and cover the cave entrance.
The Press Department should inspect and maintain these snow caves regularly.
Maintenance work is not easy.
It was good that there were no problems after checking. If any steel frame was loose, they would have to spend most of the day repairing it, and they would not even have time to go back for lunch. Fortunately, Monkey had foresight and brought dry food for everyone.
”Boss, stop busying yourself! Come and eat something!” The monkey shouted at Ji Tingyu while holding a can. Ji Tingyu took off his safety helmet and raised it lightly to indicate that he understood.
He was busy in the snow cave for the whole morning, and he was covered in dust and his clothes were dirty and wet, just like a cat that fell into a mud puddle.
Mo Moqing pulled him out and seeing the dirt on his face, he naturally reached out to wipe it off for him.
Ji Tingyu suddenly remembered what He Zhuo said before, and subconsciously took a half step back, “Xiaoqing, are you about to enter the susceptible period?”
Mo Moqing’s hand froze there and he nodded blankly.
”I thought so.” Ji Tingyu patted his shoulder, “Remember to get the injection when you go back, the smell is coming out.”
After saying that, he went to find the monkey, leaving the rejected little eagle looking at his brother’s back in despair, feeling sad.
Ji Tingyu took the compressed biscuits and water handed over by Monkey and said, “I don’t want the canned food anymore. You guys can eat it.”
At minus twenty degrees Celsius, the canned food has long been frozen into bricks. The ice chips can cause a fight between the teeth and the cat’s teeth when you take a bite. The cat’s teeth are very sensitive and cannot withstand this.
”Ah – it’s my fault.” The monkey remembered his habit, “I was in a hurry to leave this morning and forgot about it. How about I call the rabbit and ask him to bring something hot?”
”No need. Why would you come all this way? If you let him come here by himself, he’ll be so scared that he’ll cry three times along the way.”
”Haha, that’s true. Let’s just eat it.”
”Boss, come here!” Rosalin sat on her python’s tail and called him over to give her half of the tail.
Ji Tingyu had long been immune to the wild behavior of this young girl. He waved his hand and said that he would go to the back of the snow cave to take a look first.
If the steel frame behind the snow cave is OK, they can finish it in another hour after dinner. Ji Tingyu will go to Beishan again. An old friend invites him to eat pig slaughtering dishes, and he plans to invite He Zhuo and Xiaoqing to join.
After checking the steel frame, Ji Tingyu found an empty space and sat down, tearing open a piece of compressed biscuit and taking a bite without interest.
Compared to other omega young masters from wealthy families, his life is really rough. Of course, given the environment, it is hard not to live a rough life.
The only thing he is picky about may be food. Cats have sensitive tongues, which reflects in human form as being picky eaters.
Ji Tingyu has been in Nivelles for seven years and still hasn’t gotten used to the canned hamburgers here. When he was most disgusted, he dreamed that a mountain of hamburgers was chasing him.
It’s not like I haven’t thought about cooking for myself.
One year on his birthday, he worked hard for an entire afternoon to cook himself a bowl of shredded chicken noodles. However, before he could even eat it, the rich aroma attracted a serval.
The cat was very fat, with a square face and narrow eyes, and its eyebrows and eyes resembled a Tibetan fox. It walked over in a straight step and stood in front of Ji Tingyu, staring at his bowl without saying a word.
Ji Tingyu kindly gave it two sticks, but it licked them and spit them out on the spot, then raised its butt and ran away, turning back to curse him as it ran.
They are all cats, and Ji Tingyu could tell that the curse was very dirty. He immediately sighed that the world is fickle and kindness is not rewarded. He held the bowl of noodles and took a big bite angrily.
The result was that he cursed even more foully than the cat.
Since then, Ji Tingyu never cooked for himself again. Occasionally, when he was lucky enough to hunt game, he would ask the chef to help him make soup.
Speaking of soup, he inevitably thought of the pigeon stewed by He Zhuo, the soft and boneless meat, the golden and shiny soup. After taking a bite, the whole esophagus and stomach felt comfortable as if they had been soaked in a hot spring.
The more he thought about it, the more tasteless the compressed biscuits in his hand seemed. Ji Tingyu imagined it to be pigeon meat and bit off a big piece with great pain. He almost choked to death and quickly unscrewed the water bottle to pour water into his mouth.
The water in the bottle was almost frozen into ice chips, and after taking a sip, a sharp pain instantly shot up to the top of my head.
”Puff——” Ji Tingyu spat out all the water.
At this moment, a shrill whistle suddenly sounded not far away, and a red Wrangler stopped in front of him.
The car window slowly lowered, revealing He Zhuo’s face, “Xiao Yu.”
The cat immediately pricked up its ears, patted its butt and ran towards him, “Why are you here?”
”I saw that you didn’t come back at noon, and I was worried.”
He opened the car door, and Ji Tingyu jumped in like a mud monkey, climbing from his legs to the passenger seat.
He Zhuo laughed softly twice, and when you look closely you can see that his eyes are a little swollen and red, as if he had cried the night before.
”Why is it so dirty? Have you eaten?”
”If I don’t eat, I’ll be dead tired.”
Ji Tingyu slumped there like a big boss, and He Zhuo picked up a thermos bucket from the back seat.
”Hmm? What’s this?”
“Pigeon soup.”
”Pigeon soup!” He opened his eyes wide in surprise. “Hey, how did you know I wanted to eat it? All I could think about was pigeons.”
”I guess you haven’t eaten.” He Zhuo took out a wet towel to wipe his hands and face before opening the thermos.
