Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Eat when You’re Older

Gu Tingyun: ...

Can this pheasant understand human speech? Or is this how the little hamster usually hunts?

He stared blankly as the little hamster ran over, caught the pheasant by its wing, and lifted it up. Then the hamster turned its head and smiled at him, very delighted: "This pheasant is so big!"

We can feast on it for two meals!

The Little Princess thought blissfully in her heart, but her mouth faithfully adhered to the Dragon Clan’s greedy nature: "Gu Tingyun, let’s catch some more meat to eat."

Seeing her spirited little face, Gu Tingyun instantly accepted this unique hunting method. He walked over, took the pheasant and asked, "Guibao, what other meat do you want to eat?"

Helian Qiao thought for a moment and said, "I haven’t had braised rabbit in a long time, let’s go find a rabbit burrow."

And so, the two found a rabbit burrow.

Watching a bunch of rabbits dart out of the burrow like they had gone mad, then instantly retreating and lying still as if they had turned to stone, young master Gu calmly grabbed the largest, fattest rabbit by the ears.

Then he asked the little hamster, "Don’t want the rest of the little rabbits?"

Helian Qiao cradled a big, fat rabbit in her arms, and said in a babyish voice, "Leave the small rabbits, we’ll catch them when they grow up."

Such small rabbits barely make a mouthful, she thought dismissively.

Gu Tingyun nodded, "Alright, Guibao, can you carry it?"

Feeling underestimated by the big bad dragon, the Little Princess immediately responded in a loud and energetic baby voice, "Of course I can!"

So the two of them went back, carrying the rabbit and the pheasant.

All the adults from the commune were digging canals at the moment, so across their way back, Gu Tingyun and Helian Qiao only met a few older children.

Although these children were all envious, they knew better than to mess with Helian Qiao. Her grandmother, Ma Xiulian, was even more of an intimidating figure—so no one dared to speak ill of them, at least not to their faces.

Sanni happened to be harvesting corn by the roadside. Seeing her little sister carrying a wild rabbit, she immediately ran over with her basket: "Guibao, Tingyun, put the pheasant and the rabbit in the basket, and I’ll carry them back."

We are going to have wild meat to eat today!

News in the rural areas always travels fast. Within half an hour, the news that Helian Qiao had caught a pheasant and a rabbit reached the Chen Family.

Therefore, Ma Xiulian left work half an hour early to prepare lunch, and before leaving, she said to Gu Qingshan, "Factory manager Gu, Tingyun will have lunch at our place today, you don’t have to pick him up."

Gu Qingshan, too, had been won over by his daughter-in-law’s charm. He laughed heartily, "Alright, I’ll trouble you to look after the brat, Madam Chen."

Ma Xiulian cheerfully waved her hand, saying, "It’s no trouble at all, I’ve never seen a more well-behaved child than Tingyun."

As soon as she got home, she lavishly praised her darling granddaughter. Then, she poured sweet water for both children before starting to prepare the rabbit.

Rabbit meat is more tender than pheasant, so braising one was perfect for the lunch. The pheasant would be used for soup for Guibao the following night.

Watching the blushing cheeks of the little hamster, Gu Tingyun quietly remembered all the words that Granny Chen had said.

Half an hour later, the rest of the Chen family also returned home, their faces full of delight.

The moment they arrived home, they smelled the tantalizing aroma of stir-fried meat coming from the kitchen. They couldn’t help but drool, and the corners of their mouths curled upwards.

There’s going to be an extra meat dish at the dinner table today!

Especially Li Chunhua, who was expecting. She was wildly swallowing her saliva and couldn’t dare to approach her mother-in-law. She extended her neck to peek longingly towards the kitchen.
