The two sat at the table, occasionally getting up to look at Shang Guohua. They didn't rest their heads on the table and doze off until dawn.

"Water, water." Gao Jianguo was awakened by a faint sound.

He had lived among wolves and had very sensitive hearing.

He was careful when he woke up, afraid that he might wake the little girl who was sleeping next to him.

Then he gave Shang Guohua some water and went to cook.

"Little sister, little sister." Shang Yanfang was woken up by her older brother.

Shang Guohua slowly woke up after Gao Jianguo went out to cook.

He cautiously observed his surroundings, not forgetting he was on a mission. He only relaxed when he saw his little sister slumped over the table.

"Hmm, big brother, you're awake? Are you alright?" Shang Yanfang woke up groggily and, seeing her older brother, subconsciously went over and touched his forehead.

She only asked, "Brother, are you hungry?" after she realized her forehead wasn't hot anymore.

Shang Guohua looked at his silly little sister and smiled helplessly.

Shang Yanfang was puzzled when she saw her older brother laughing: "Brother, what are you laughing at? I asked you if you're hungry."

Shang Guohua's stomach made a "gurgling" sound.

Shang Yanfang also heard a rumbling in her stomach. "Hey, big brother, I'll go cook for you."

Shang Yanfang, fearing that her older brother would be embarrassed, quietly left.

"Yanfang, you're awake. Let's eat first, then you can go back to sleep," Gao Jianguo said as Shang Yanfang walked into the kitchen.

"Um, is my older brother able to eat now?" Shang Yanfang asked, scratching her head a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, but you can only eat porridge or something like that, brother."

"Can't my brother eat eggs?" Shang Yanfang thought that her brother had suffered so much, he definitely needed to be nourished.

"Let my older brother have some porridge in the morning, and then we can make him chicken soup at noon," Gao Jianguo explained.

"Okay, I'll go to the village to exchange it for a chicken later."

"No need, Jifeng and the others brought us some last night," Gao Jianguo said, pointing to the three rabbits and three pheasants in the corner.

"Did Jifeng and the others send it?" Shang Yanfang asked incredulously.

She had only heard that Jifeng was delivering wild animals to Gao Jianguo before, but seeing it with her own eyes this time was truly shocking.

"Yes, it must have been delivered this morning. I'll kill a chicken and stew it right away. My brother can have chicken soup by noon."

"Jianguo, how can you be so good to me?" Shang Yanfang praised the man before running out to wash up.

Only Gao Jianguo remained in the kitchen, grinning foolishly.

Gao Jianguo and Shang Yanfang ate their meal first before feeding Shang Guohua.

Gao Jianguo helped Shang Guohua sit up, and Shang Yanfang took a small spoon to feed her older brother.

"Come on, big brother, let me feed you."

"Little sister, no. I can eat by myself." Shang Guohua wanted to refuse his younger sister.

Who knew that Shang Yanfang insisted on having her own elder brother.

"Brother, they're feeding the sick."

Shang Guohua had no choice but to let his younger sister feed him, but after just one sip, he couldn't drink any.

Where's the rice? Where's his spoonful of rice?

"Brother, brother. Don't move. Let me wipe it for you." Shang Yanfang felt that she was clearly feeding her older brother a spoonful of rice, but none of it went in.

Definitely, it must be because her older brother's mouth is too small.

Gao Jianguo watched this scene and couldn't help but facepalm. This little girl...

"Well, brother, why don't you eat it yourself?" Shang Yanfang said somewhat dejectedly after feeding her a few more spoonfuls.

"Okay, my hand is fine, I'll do it myself." Shang Guohua looked at Gao Jianguo with sympathy; her younger sister was truly a complicated situation.

After breakfast, Shang Yanfang went back to the educated youth settlement to catch up on sleep.

Gao Jianguo killed the pheasant, stewed it, and planned to catch up on his sleep.

"Jianguo, Jianguo. Come here, help me up." Shang Guohua called out when Gao Jianguo finished his work.

"Brother, what do you need? I'll get it for you," Gao Jianguo said, thinking his older brother needed something.

"You can help me, I need to go to the restroom." Shang Guohua felt that Gao Jianguo didn't seem very smart.

"Oh, okay." Gao Jianguo helped the person into the toilet.

"Big brother, do you need my help?" He knew that his future brother-in-law's injury was in his lower abdomen.

"No need," Shang Guohua said coldly.

Gao Jianguo left sheepishly.

But he could still hear Shang Guohua's suppressed cries of pain.

After relieving his brother-in-law's physical needs, Gao Jianguo helped him back to his room and then lay down to catch up on sleep.

Shang Yanfang woke up in the afternoon.

She was worried about her older brother, so she rushed to the Gao family home without stopping.

The Gao family home is now packed with people, and it's bustling with activity.

It turned out that his older brother's comrade-in-arms had come looking for him.

When the villagers first saw several soldiers coming to find Gao Jianguo, they were afraid that Gao Jianguo had caused trouble.

When they arrived at the Gao family's house, they discovered that the family had come to express their gratitude.

Several older women pulled the three young men aside and started asking them questions.

As Shang Yanfang passed by, she heard, "Young man, how old are you this year? Are you married? Do you have a boyfriend? My daughter is pretty, can cook, and is good at raising children. How about I introduce you to her?"

After listening, Shang Yanfang looked at the aunt who had spoken. If she remembered correctly, that aunt's daughter was probably lazy and good-for-nothing.

She couldn't help but shudder and went inside without looking back.

Only his older brother, Gao Jianguo, and Captain Lu were in the room.

"Jianguo, your uncle went to the commune early this morning." Upon hearing this, Shang Yanfang knew it must be related to what happened last night.

"What did the commune say?" Gao Jianguo was also very curious. How did those people know he went to the cowshed last night?

“I went directly to the commune director’s house and told him that the Revolutionary Committee wanted to take our brigade’s cattle. When I went to his house to find him, the director of the Revolutionary Committee was waiting for me there when I returned to the office with the director.”

"And the final result?" Shang Yanfang asked directly, not wanting to hear any more lengthy explanations.

"In the end, it was dropped. Oh, Jianguo, the commune director asked me to give this to you." As he spoke, Captain Lu took a folded piece of paper from his shirt pocket and handed it to Gao Jianguo.

Gao Jianguo took the paper and stared at it, then froze on the spot.

A single piece of paper clearly and explicitly explained the relationship between Gao Jianguo and Old Gao in the cowshed...

Shang Yanfang saw Gao Jianguo staring blankly at the paper.

"What does it say?" Captain Lu asked, noticing the puzzled expressions on their faces.

“Jianguo, remember this: he’s not a kid from our Kaoshan Brigade. He’s grown up here. As for that Old Gao, you don’t know him.” Captain Lu quickly came up with a solution based on what was written above.

“Yes, Jianguo, you are Gao Jianguo, Grandpa Chen’s grandson,” Shang Yanfang said. Presumably, Director Wang had this in mind when he entrusted this to them!
