Gao Xiaotao was practicing boxing in the yard when she saw Feng Lingyu push open the door and walk in.

"Xiaoyu, you're back. Did you do okay last night?"

Gao Xiaotao looked Feng Lingyu up and down carefully. Although she knew that the possibility of something going wrong was low, she was still a little worried.

Feng Lingyu shook his head and handed the pheasant and pheasant eggs to Gao Xiaotao: "I'm fine. I stayed in the house left by the hunters in the mountains yesterday. Take these to the kitchen and we will stew chicken for lunch."

This pheasant is skinny and has little meat, but it should be delicious if used to make soup.

It just so happened that last time Aunt Guihua brought some dried mushrooms over and stewed them with pheasant. It was delicious and nourishing.

Gao Xiaotao was filled with admiration when she saw that Feng Lingyu was not only unharmed but also brought back prey.

She heard Aunt Guihua say yesterday that it was best not to go up to Daqing Mountain casually because there might be wild beasts appearing.

Gao Xiaotao took the chicken into the kitchen and quickly and skillfully cleaned out the pheasant.

They bought a clay pot for making soup at the supply and marketing cooperative, which was perfect for making pheasant soup.

Simmering over low heat can better preserve the nutrients in the soup.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, after you went up the mountain yesterday afternoon, Aunt Guihua caught two chicks for us and put them in a cage. We will have eggs to eat after they grow up." Gao Xiaotao said while squatting on the ground and making a fire.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Guihua sent the chicks over so quickly. Their yard was empty and there was no place to keep the chicks, so Gao Xiaotao put the chickens in a cage.

"I gave Aunt Guihua some cloth coupons for the two chicks. I know that they rarely issue cloth coupons in the countryside."

Gao Xiaotao looked at Feng Lingyu anxiously, she didn't know if what she was doing was right.

Feng Lingyu nodded in appreciation: "You did a great job, Xiaotao. You can make decisions on your own in the future and don't have to ask me for everything. You have to believe in yourself. I believe Uncle Gao is more willing to see your growth."

Feng Lingyu knew that during the time Xiaotao had been with him, she always put him first in everything and was used to listening to him.

Although obedience is a necessary element of a loyal servant, Xiao Tao is different in his heart. She is not only his guard, but also his friend.

When Feng Lingyu returns to the capital one day, what she will need more is a helper who is capable of taking charge.

Feng Lingyu didn't want to stay by his side, but instead made Gao Xiaotao lose her ambition and turned her into a puppet.

Gao Xiaotao nodded heavily: "Xiaoyu, I understand. I will try my best to keep up with you and will not hold you back."

Knowing that Gao Xiaotao understood what they meant, they smiled at each other.

Everything is implied.

At noon, the summer heat kept pouring towards people, coupled with the incessant chirping of cicadas, making people feel inexplicably irritated.

Gao Xiaotao put down her chopsticks after finishing a bowl of rice.

"Xiao Yu, I don't know if it's because of the hot summer, but I've been eating so little these days. But my appetite hasn't decreased in the summer of previous years. Can you check for me later to see if I'm sick?"

Gao Xiaotao touched her belly with her hand and said with a frown.

Feng Lingyu laughed secretly. These past few days, the two of them had been eating the food grown in the space. With sufficient spiritual energy, their appetite was indeed slowly decreasing.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. You're not sick. Besides, haven't you noticed that my appetite has also decreased?"

Yes, Xiaoyu has eaten very little these days, so it should be fine.

Otherwise, since Xiaoyu knows medicine, wouldn’t she have discovered something was wrong long ago?

"Besides, it's a good thing that your appetite has decreased. You won't have to buy food anymore."

Gao Xiaotao thought about it and realized that it was true. In the past, the two of them ate a lot and had to rely on buying food.

But after her appetite became smaller, just relying on her own strength, even if Xiaoyu did not go to work, the work points she earned alone were enough to feed two people.

So, Gao Xiaotao felt relieved and scooped another bowl of chicken soup from the casserole and drank it.

"This chicken soup with mushrooms is really delicious. No wonder everyone says that Northeast China is famous for its wild delicacies."

Gao Xiaotao squinted her eyes and sighed, saying that when autumn comes, she will also go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, dry them and eat them slowly.

By the way, if there is a lot, you can also send some back to Beijing for Dad and Xiaorui.

Xiaorui loves cooking so much, she will probably be very happy to receive mushrooms.

Feng Lingyu saw that there was still half a pot of soup left in the pot, and thought that Sun Yiming and Zhao Nanshan were good brothers, so he said:

"It's so hot now. If we don't finish the soup, it will go bad soon. We might as well give it to Zhao Nanshan to nourish his body."

Gao Xiaotao also thought they were nice people, so she took out a lunch box and poured all the remaining meat and chicken soup in the pot into it.

"Then I'll send it over to them now. Xiaoyu, you must not have had a good rest last night, so take a nap."

Gao Xiaotao waved her hands, and seeing Feng Lingyu still sitting there motionless, she walked over to her, pulled her up, and pushed her into the room.

Feng Lingyu had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll go to sleep. You go there and come back quickly, and don't talk too much to the people at the educated youth center. If they make trouble, don't be polite."

"I know, I know. Go to bed now."

Gao Xiaotao came to the educated youth site carrying chicken soup. At that time, they were all sitting in the yard eating.

Seeing Gao Xiaotao coming over with a lunch box in her hand, everyone stared at her.

Cao Yanfang's expression softened. She thought that Feng Lingyu asked Gao Xiaotao to come and deliver food to ease the relationship.

It seems that Feng Lingyu is not as ignorant as I imagined.

"Xiaotao, why are you here?" Sun Yiming stood up from his seat and came to Gao Xiaotao to ask.

He knew Feng Lingyu's attitude towards the educated youth at the educated youth point, so Gao Xiaotao could only have come to see him.

Gao Xiaotao pulled Sun Yiming aside and handed him the lunch box.

"There's chicken soup in here. You and Comrade Zhao can have some. Xiaoyu asked me to bring it over."

Sun Yiming's eyes lit up as he looked at the lunch box in his hand. He had not been able to eat much in the past few days at the educated youth center. After all, everyone's cooking skills were not good, and the food was from a big pot, so one could imagine how it tasted.

"Sister, from now on you and Xiaoyu are my real sisters. I didn't expect that you didn't forget me even after drinking chicken soup!"

Sun Yiming said with emotion.

Watching Sun Yiming's exaggerated performance, Gao Xiaotao said unhappily, "Come on, stop being so joking. If you weren't afraid that it would go bad, I wouldn't give it to you. Besides, this is mainly for Comrade Zhao to replenish his body."

Of course Sun Yiming knew that this was a joke from Gao Xiaotao. Nowadays, there is always enough chicken soup.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you something."

Sun Yiming would not take their things for nothing. When he went to the commune that day, his mother sent him a lot of things.

After a while, Sun Yiming came out with a small box in his hand, "My mom said this is high-end candy, take it back and eat it with Xiaoyu."

Sun Yiming is a thick-skinned man. He feels that he has a very good relationship with Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao, so he automatically changed his name to Xiaoyu and Xiaotao, which are more intimate names.
