All the Fluffy Wildlings Call Me Mom [The Nineties]

[Please add my other novel, I Raise Pandas in the Nineties, to your reading list!]

Rong Rong had devoted years to animal protection with an animal rescue organization, but an accident at work caused her to transmigrate into a book.

The bad news: It was a story about a real and fake heiress, and she was the fake one, sent back to the countryside by her adoptive parents.

The good news: Her adoptive parents felt guilty about what they had done. They gave her a generous sum of money and even gave her parents a mountain.

Rong Rong: I'm so young, and I've already achieved financial freedom?

In the 1990s, many people were busy heading to the cities to find work. Only a small number of villagers stayed behind.

Later, she discovered that plenty of animals had been “abandoned” too.

A leopard cub whose mother was gone? A little “golden chinchilla” rescued from poachers? A whole troop of golden snub-nosed monkeys abandoned by their own group?

There was plenty of space on the mountain, so she brought them all home.

Later, when people saw Rong Rong running into the mountains every day, they all urged her to get married. They said that if she waited until she was old, she'd have no children, and living alone would be lonely.

Looking at the big family living on the mountain, Rong Rong wasn't afraid at all. “It's fine! They're all my children, and I'm their mom!”

Cheng Sui had dedicated herself to protecting stray cats when she transmigrated into a period novel, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting actress who was gravely ill and destined to die young.

According to the story, the original owner was too weak to do hard labor, but had a pair of skillful hands and could weave all kinds of little things from bamboo strips. Even as her illness grew critical, the pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks she raised were all plump and healthy.

She's skillful and good at raising little ones... Isn't she a born “cat-raising golden finger”?!

After arriving in this world, Cheng Sui thought every day about getting back to her old line of work, hoping Heaven would grant her a kitten.

Then one day, she rescued a truckload of poor animals from smugglers.

A giant panda cub came tumbling out of its cage, crying “Waa waa,” then crawled straight toward her and clung tightly to her pant leg...

Cheng Sui: ??? A panda cub? Well, if you round things up, it's still a kitten!

The old folks said Cheng Sui was playing with fire. If the giant panda ever got angry and turned on her, it would slap her to death.

But when Cheng Sui caught the panda misbehaving and smacked its paw, all it did was whimper “Mm-mm” in protest?

The aunties said a giant panda wasn't a person, and no matter how kind she was to it, it wouldn't do her any good. She'd be better off getting married and having children to rely on.

But when Cheng Sui ran into wolves on the mountain, her blind date abandoned her and ran away. It was the giant panda that saved her from the wolf pack.

The experts said giant pandas belonged in nature and should be returned to the mountains.

Cheng Sui steeled herself and sent the panda back to the mountains. But a few months later, it not only found its way home, it had a pair of twins?!

As the number of captive-bred giant pandas gradually increased, many zoos went to Sichuan Province hoping to rent one.

“An An won't do. Director Cheng said it's only back to recover after giving birth. Once the cubs are born, it'll leave.”

“Tuan Tuan won't do either. Director Cheng said it passed its wild-training assessment and will be released into the wild soon.”

“Zhu Sheng doesn't need to be released, but Director Cheng said it's socially anxious and afraid of people, so it's being transferred to the base.”

The zoo directors all scratched their heads. “You're pulling our leg, right? There are more than a hundred pandas here. Are you saying your Director Cheng knows every single one?”

Staff member: “I'm telling the truth. She raised all of these hundred-plus pandas herself, and she even named every one of them.”

Everyone: !!!
