The two little guys, Tuanzi and Jinzi, also got two cookies and ate them without even raising their heads.
"Next time you can add some dried fruits to the cookies, it will taste better." Feng Lingyu suggested.
She has all kinds of dried fruits in her space, which can be used to make cookies with different flavors.
"Okay, I'll make some next time." Gao Xiaotao nodded in response.
Because the cookies were baked very successfully this time, Gao Xiaotao baked a few more batches and packed them all. In addition to keeping some for her own consumption, she planned to send some of the rest to Sun Yiming and Yang Lemei.
After finishing the work at the educated youth point early in the morning, Feng Lingyu felt a little hungry.
Although biscuits are delicious, they cannot be eaten as a meal.
Gao Xiaotao had frozen some dumplings in the yard. She was too lazy to prepare anything else, so she boiled a pot of water and prepared to cook the dumplings.
After being boiled in boiling water, the dumplings quickly became white and plump, all floating on the surface of the pot, which made people's appetite grow.
The dumplings made by Gao Xiaotao have very thin skin and plenty of meat filling. After being cooked, they are about the size of half a palm.
The aroma of pork and the sweetness of cabbage are so delicious that people want to swallow their tongues.
Feng Lingyu likes spicy food, so she went to the kitchen to prepare a dipping bowl.
Add chopped green onion and garlic, red chili oil, soy sauce and vinegar, and finally a few drops of sesame oil, and the dipping bowl is ready.
Cabbage and meat dumplings served with spicy dipping sauce have a unique flavor.
Shen Huaiyu couldn't understand Feng Lingyu's way of eating. He even ate dumplings with chili peppers.
However, Gao Xiaotao's dumplings were very delicious and he also had a good appetite.
In the end, the brothers Gao Xiaotao, Feng Lingyu and Shen Huaiyu ate two pots of dumplings in total before they were done.
"After we finish eating, we can make more dumplings for the New Year. They won't go bad if they're left outside in the freezer."
Feng Lingyu is already thinking about when she will make dumplings next time, and it would be best if she could use a few different kinds of fillings.
You can make it with any filling, such as mutton, beef, leek or egg, to change the flavor.
Gao Xiaotao always responded to Feng Lingyu's requests and agreed immediately.
After the meal, Shen Huaiyu did not stay long. After saying something to Feng Lingyu, he took the lunch box packed by Gao Xiaotao and went back to Shen Xiuyi.
Shen Huaiyu has not been idle these days since he came back. Not only does he have to tutor Shen Huaiqing, but he also has to repair the fence for Shen Xiuyi.
The old man wanted to fence off a piece of land at the back and plant some vegetables to grow.
Not long after lunch, Cao Zi came to the door with something in her hand.
It was her first time at Feng Lingyu's house, and she felt a little embarrassed and uneasy.
Feng Lingyu's attitude towards her was neither cold nor warm. He opened the door and let her in.
Looking at the well-kept yard, Cao Zi's eyes flashed with envy.
Compared with Feng Lingyu's home, the educated youth site was extremely messy.
"Feng Zhiqing, please help me take these things back to the city." Cao Zi handed over the things in her hand.
Although they were just some dried radishes and mushrooms and not very valuable, they were the only things she could afford.
"Do you have anything else to say? I will tell your father as well." Feng Lingyu took the things.
Cao Zi thought for a moment and said, "What I want to talk about is what happened this morning, nothing else."
Feng Lingyu raised an eyebrow. She didn't expect that Cao Zi didn't intend to talk about the grievances she suffered in the countryside.
Now she looks like a good daughter, who knows to report good news but not bad news.
"Okay, I got it. I will definitely deliver the things and the words." Feng Lingyu's expression was not as cold as before.
Cao Zi pinched the corner of her clothes, said thank you embarrassedly, and then prepared to go back to the educated youth point.
"etc."
Cao Zi turned around and asked, "Feng Zhiqing, do you have anything else to say?"
"Where did you get those sweet potatoes from?"
Feng Lingyu took a look at the educated youth site and found that the stolen sweet potatoes were of good quality and seemed to be top-quality grain for distribution in the village.
Cao Zi had already talked about the origin of sweet potatoes at the educated youth point before, and there was nothing to hide now, so she told the story again.
Feng Lingyu looked up in surprise. She didn't expect that Cao Zi not only taught Tiedan, but also taught other children in the village.
No wonder the villagers were willing to give her sweet potatoes.
In the past, most families in the village could not get enough food to eat. Only those with better conditions, like the village accountant He Pengcheng and the village chief Yang Jianguo, could afford to send their children to school.
The other children are basically illiterate and run around in the mountains and fields all day long. Let alone studying, they just hope to grow up well.
Although the school in the village will start next spring, the parents would be willing to have a high school student from the city teach in advance.
This time, Feng Lingyu completely changed his opinion of Cao Zi.
Her eyes softened.
"Your sweet potatoes have been stolen. The conditions in the village are so difficult right now. Even if you go to teach those children, I'm afraid the villagers won't have any extra food to give you."
"Winter is still a long time away. After you finish the remaining sweet potatoes, what are you going to eat next?"
Yang Hongying clearly stated that she would not return the grain to Cao Zi and would only return it after the grain was distributed next year.
The other people at the educated youth site were happy just to have enough to eat, and there was absolutely no way they would lend food to Cao Zi.
Cao Zi's face turned pale when Feng Lingyu asked her this. She fluttered her eyelashes and looked pitiful. "I don't know yet, but I'll borrow some from everyone when the time comes. I'll be able to get through this."
She still has some black noodles, and if she eats them sparingly, it can last for a long time.
Feng Lingyu felt angry and amused when she saw her pitiful appearance.
Although she felt that Cao Zi should be reformed, what needed to be changed were her various bad habits, not her personality.
Otherwise, if everyone is as weak and vulnerable as Lin Daiyu, what's the point?
In fact, Feng Lingyu didn't like her current look as much as her previous flamboyant look.
To put it bluntly, if Cao Zi hadn't had no moral values, and hadn't relied on Cao Datong's official position to bully Yang Lemei and do a series of bullying things, Feng Lingyu wouldn't have suggested that Cao Datong deal with her.
It is normal for a girl like her who grew up being spoiled to have a more outgoing and cheerful personality.
Since Cao Zi has changed now, Feng Lingyu will not watch her starve: "I have some food that I can lend to you. No matter what method you use, just return it to me within next year."
"No……"
Cao Zi was about to say no, but Feng Lingyu continued, "I'm not lending it to you for free, you have to pay it back. Your father sent you to the countryside, and he didn't want to see you starve because of bad people."
In a word, Cao Zi knew that she didn't have enough food and knew how to find ways to earn food in advance, which made Feng Lingyu look at her with admiration.
Now she is implicated because of Yang Hongying's fault, and it is not Cao Zi's fault.
Seeing Feng Lingyu's serious tone, Cao Zi knew she was not lying, so she gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I will definitely return the food to you! Thank you, Feng Zhiqing, I will keep it a secret, and I will not tell others that it was you who lent me the food if they ask me."
When Gao Xiaotao heard what Feng Lingyu said, she took a bag and filled it with some food from the kitchen.
He packed some coarse grains and some fine grains separately, filling about half a bag in total.
"Take these back first, and come back to borrow more if you don't have enough."
Cao Zi was so grateful that she didn't know what to say. She took the food with shaking hands and said with red eyes, "That's enough, that's enough. Thank you."
Feng Lingyu was impatient to deal with this crying scene, so he let Cao Zi leave.
