When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1281 Farm Owner 34
Zhang Xiang hesitated for a moment: "It...can we have it?"

“I traded apples for it,” Tan You said, hugging the big orange cat’s head and affectionately touching noses with it. “From now on, it’s a member of the farm too.”

“Sure,” Chen Xiaojun gave a thumbs up: “With cats and geese around, your safety will be more guaranteed in the future.”

"Brothers, let's get to work."

He gave a shout, and everyone went to the river to prepare the big fish. Tan You tugged at the big orange cat's whiskers: "Leave me a piece of the fish's belly, and you can divide the rest among yourselves."

No one stood on ceremony with Tan You; even the fish intestines and liver were packed up by one of the team members. Tan You, carrying a large piece of fish belly, nudged the orange cat's rear end with her toe: "Let's go? Home?"

The big orange cat rolled over and wrapped its long tail around Tan You's waist, placing Tan You on its back.

"I've never ridden a tiger before, but I never expected to ride a big cat first." Tan You stroked the big orange cat's ears and felt that riding a cat was indeed a very novel experience.

After seeing Tan You ride the big orange cat into the farm, Chen Xiaojun and the others quickened their pace and left. They had time to return to their team; it was already late, and they needed to explain the situation to the gatekeeper when they got back.

Looking at the fish, meat, brown sugar, and other treats hanging from the handlebars, Zhang Xiang felt that Tan You was truly his lucky star. The others shared the same thought; had they really gotten food delivered to their door without spending a penny?

Zhang family.

Zhang Xiang arrived home at 11 p.m. It was a day off, so he was allowed to stay overnight. His parents and younger sister were all waiting for him at home, especially his younger sister, who had stayed up all night after hearing that Zhang Xiang had gone to the farm.

In Zhang Xiaomei's mind, whenever Zhang Xiang went to the farm, he would bring back some delicious food. She wanted to eat well; whether she slept or not was secondary.

Before Zhang Xiang even reached the door, it was opened. Zhang's father came over and took the things from his hands: "Fish? Where did you get that?"

Zhang Xiang handed him the brown sugar: "The fish is heavy, and your back isn't good, so I'll carry it for you. This is two pounds of brown sugar, which we made fresh at the farm this afternoon."

"Oh, right, here are more than twenty rabbit offal suits. The forest owner was dealing with some trouble, so I asked her for them. Mom, you can take care of them when you have time."

Mrs. Zhang accepted the gift with a smile: "I'll get it ready tomorrow. Once these are washed and stir-fried with spices, it'll smell delicious."

Zhang Xiang delivered the fish to the kitchen. Seeing his younger sister following him closely, Zhang Xiang smiled and took out a large bag of small strawberries from his backpack.

Mr. Zhang said sternly, "You stole them? You can't do that."

Zhang Xiang shook his head: "What are you thinking? These were given to us by the forest owner. These strawberries are only the size of a little finger, and she thought it was too much trouble to pick them. I asked her first and made sure she didn't want them before I picked some."

"The others picked them too; she was giving them to us sincerely."

Zhang Xiang smiled, imagining Tan You frowning as she stared at the small strawberries. No one was picking the small strawberries at Tan You's strawberry garden; when they went to pick strawberries every day, they definitely picked the biggest ones, leaving the smaller ones behind.

If they were to expect Tan You to pick the grapefruits herself, and she were that diligent, then none of them would bother coming to the farm.

"That's good. We've received preferential treatment from the forestry owner, so we can't do something so unscrupulous." Mr. Zhang instructed, "Where did this fish and meat come from?"

Zhang Xiang then recounted what he had seen and heard by the river. Zhang's father laughed and said, "Indeed, capable people are magnanimous. This forest farm owner is the most capable person I have ever met."

Mrs. Zhang: "They were the most generous. We really had a much better winter this year because of them."

Zhang Xiang was the only able-bodied man in the family. She and her father were ordinary people, and they also had to raise their little sister, Zhang Xiaomei, so life was always a struggle. But this year, thanks to Tan You's farm, their lives have improved considerably. Zhang Xiang patted Zhang Xiaomei's head: "I know, I'll work hard there."

He wasn't particularly good at expressing himself. He had said thank you a thousand times in his heart, but when he spoke, it was always just a dry, one or two words. Zhang Xiang could only tell himself to be as dedicated as possible to Tan You's work.

Thinking of the fish, Zhang's mother wondered, "How big must those fish be?"

Zhang Xiang thought of the giant fish that was over five meters long: "It's over five meters long, head and tail included. Fourth Brother took the fish intestines and liver back with him. I figured I'd take the rabbit offal and not argue with him about these things."

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "Indeed, the benefits shouldn't be enjoyed by one person."

"I'll make fish porridge for you tomorrow morning, so you can eat it and go back to the legion feeling warm and cozy."

Zhang Xiang's eyes softened: "Okay, thank you for getting up early tomorrow, Mom."

“What I’m doing is nothing,” Zhang’s mother patted Zhang Xiang’s arm. “You really work hard every time you go out on a mission.”

Zhang Xiang thought of the mutated lychees Tan You had given them before: "It's alright, if we don't go on missions, where can we get good stuff?"

The same conversation took place at the homes of two other warriors who could return home. In the wasteland, resources were scarce, and nothing was completely useless.

The fish, strawberries, and brown sugar they brought back made everyone's winter much easier.

C88 Farm.

The orange cat followed Tan You into the courtyard, and as soon as it entered the bedroom, it stretched lazily. It looked around and then jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed) without any hesitation.

That's the warmest spot, it used to be Tan You's exclusive territory, but now this big cat has taken a liking to it.

Tan You found a cushion for the big orange cat: "You sleep here, make me move over."

The orange cat moved as instructed, and Tan You lay down on the edge of the kang without any hesitation, stretching her legs out naturally under the cat's belly. The orange cat didn't take Tan You's "insolence" to heart at all; its tail even reached Tan You's waist, like a long, fluffy scarf.

Tan You stroked its forehead: "Let me give you a name, how about Doumi?"

The orange cat nudged Tan You's chin with its large head, seemingly in agreement. Tan You pinched Doumi's ears, feeling incredibly happy at that moment. With a cat, a field, stored food, and savings, she could say she had no regrets in life.

Doumi is a typical nocturnal creature, but its daily routine changed after arriving at the farm. After sleeping for a few hours on the kang (heated brick bed) at night, smelling the sweet fragrance in the air, Doumi sniffed and nimbly rolled off the kang, leaving the bedroom.

The courtyard is now a haven for all sorts of mutated fruits and vegetables. Doumi wandered around the courtyard, wanting to eat an apple, but unfortunately, the apple tree plucked a few branches from her.

It then set its sights on the orange cherries, but was afraid of the cherry bombs. As for the chestnuts, it had been hit on the forehead by a chestnut tree and had a bump on its forehead. Bean Meowed, its tone somewhat exasperated.

Tan You was awakened by the resentful voice and hurriedly slipped on her shoes to come out. She saw Dou Mi sitting in the yard, looking up at the mutated fruit trees, able to see and smell them but unable to eat them.

A round, chubby orange cat sat under a tree, its resentment evident even from behind.
