Chapter 30: Rising Again

As he spoke, he had already reached into his pocket and fumbled for something. After a while, he took out a handful of peanuts.

He handed it to Su Mingyue like a treasure, muttering: "Grandma gave it to me. I kept it specially for you."

Su Mingyue took the handful of peanuts with a smile, nodded, and said, "Yes, the meat I made?"

Then he gently picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth to chew. At the same time, he looked up at his brother and asked, "Did you eat this peanut yourself?"

Su Qingfeng licked his lips quickly, then nodded and replied, "I have eaten. These are specially reserved for you."

However, his slightly panicked eyes and unnatural expression did not escape Su Mingyue's sharp observation.

Su Mingyue frowned slightly, looked at her brother seriously, and said earnestly: "If you ate it, you ate it. If you didn't eat it, you didn't eat it. Don't lie to me!"

After hearing what his sister said, Su Qingfeng's originally evasive gaze suddenly froze. He slowly raised his head and looked into Su Mingyue's eyes.

When he saw the seriousness in his sister's eyes, he couldn't help but panic. But for some reason, his mouth seemed to be out of control, and he honestly confessed: "I... couldn't bear to eat it. I wanted to save it for you to replenish your body."

As soon as the words fell, Su Qingfeng himself was stunned. He had never expected that just by looking into his sister's eyes, the true words hidden in his heart would come out without reservation.

When he came to his senses, his face suddenly flushed and he unconsciously scratched the back of his head with his hands, looking a little embarrassed and shy.

Su Mingyue didn't expect that Su Qingfeng was thinking this way. She felt a little warm in her heart for Su Qingfeng's sincere concern. Thinking this way, raising this cub was not in vain!

Su Qingfeng's eyes rolled around and he quickly changed the subject, asking curiously, "Sister, where did all this meat come from? Could it be that you stewed our old laying hen?" Even as he said this, he pretended to be heartbroken.

Su Mingyue raised her hand, patted Su Qingfeng on the head gently, and said unhappily: "You little bastard, you just talk nonsense! Do I, your sister, look so unreliable?

I was lucky when I went up the mountain to collect firewood just now! First I found a rabbit and a pheasant in the bushes, and now there is pheasant soup in the pot.

Then I saw a silly porcupine that bumped its head against a tree and fainted. I ran over, picked up the hatchet, and killed it in one fell swoop. We'll eat rabbit meat tonight and porcupine meat tomorrow."

Hearing this, Su Qingfeng was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He looked at Su Mingyue in disbelief and stammered, "Is...is this true? Sister, you are so lucky! Where are the robe and the rabbit now? Let me see, let me see!" He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his feet kept stomping the ground.

At the thought of eating the delicious meat, Su Qingfeng couldn't help but swallowing hard. He stared at Su Mingyue with his big eyes full of desire and expectation, just like a hungry little wolf cub.

Su Mingyue was annoyed by Su Qingfeng's stare, so she came to the backpack in the yard and, relying on the fact that she was taller than Su Qingfeng, she took the rabbit and the robe from the space and put them into the backpack.

She carried the heavy basket to the kitchen, then gently placed it on the ground, and shouted to Su Qingfeng who was watching the fire in the kitchen: "Look! It's in this basket! Didn't you notice it when you passed by the yard just now?"

Hearing his sister's call, Su Qingfeng quickly stood up, walked quickly to the backpack, and curiously stuck his head out to look around.

In the basket, there lay quietly a large robe and a small and exquisite rabbit.

The robe weighed at least 40 to 50 kilograms, and its huge body took up almost half of the backpack space;

The rabbit, weighing about three or four pounds, was placed neatly on top of the robe, making it particularly eye-catching.

Su Qingfeng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, his voice trembling with excitement: "Sister...sister, I...I am not dreaming! Is this real? There is so much meat! We are in for a treat, we can eat it for many days!"

Having said that, he couldn't help rubbing his hands, his face filled with joy and excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Su Mingyue looked at Su Qingfeng with a smile on her face, and her mood also became cheerful.

She said to Su Qingfeng cheerfully: "What's so great about this? In the future, we will have endless meat to eat every day!"

However, she knew very well in her heart that the "future" mentioned here actually refers to things more than 20 years later, and such a wonderful life would only be possible after the reform and opening up.

But, that's how painted cakes are!

Hearing this, Su Qingfeng's eyes suddenly lit up like bright stars, and he asked expectantly, "Really? Then can I eat delicious rice every day?"

Su Mingyue nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course! There will be no problem!"

While the brother and sister were chatting with each other, Su Mingyue skillfully served the rice and continued to describe those beautiful and longing pictures to Su Qingfeng.

After a while, the food was ready. Su Mingyue first filled a large bowl of chicken soup and meat for herself, and then filled a bowl of the same amount for Su Qingfeng.

Then she picked up a cake and started eating.

Su Qingfeng, who was standing by, saw that her sister had already started to wolf down the food. Fearing that she would not be able to finish the second bowl if she was slow, she quickly picked up the chopsticks and joined in this "food battle".

After all, the last time they ate meat, there was a whole pot of chicken soup and meat, but he only ate two bowls before he was so exhausted that he couldn't walk. However, her sister seemed to have eaten very little, and later, she finished all the five roasted bird eggs.

Thinking of this, Su Qingfeng no longer cared about chewing slowly. He desperately shoveled food into his mouth, only wanting to fill his stomach quickly.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Su Mingyue started to take a nap. After waking up, the first thing Su Mingyue did was to check her mental power. Sure enough, her S-level mental power was a little stronger than before.

Su Mingyue got up in a good mood, went to the backyard, cleaned up the chicken coop, fed the chickens a little, picked up the eggs, and put them in the cabinet in the house. Then she took a hoe and went to the vegetable garden next to the chicken coop in the backyard and started digging the ground.
