"Is that okay?" Gao Yang was a little worried about whether this would work.

"It's alright little girl, there are a lot of people in our village who would look for their captain in private. Besides, Zhan Fei is also capable, the two of you should not be lacking food." It's fine little girl, there are a lot of people in our village who would look for their captain in private. Auntie Li saw Gao Yang being so careful, so she pointed at her door and said.

Actually, Gao Yang wasn't sure if he had children or not, but it was better to be careful.

"Why don't you tell me what your symptoms are!" Seeing how Gao Yang was acting, she felt that it would be better to first talk about how she felt recently. That way, she could have a good idea of what was going on.

"Auntie, I just haven't been able to sleep enough recently. At first, I thought I didn't get a good rest on the road, but lately, it's still like this. Then, I remembered that I haven't been sleeping for more than ten days, didn't I just come to ask you about this?" Now that he was dead, it would be even more troublesome if he didn't ask her about it clearly. Even if she knew about the pregnancy on the internet, it wasn't something that she had personally experienced and she hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.

"It looks like you do, but you don't have much time left. Otherwise, I'll bring you to find someone to show you and see if she can see through it!" Auntie Li was referring to the village's Auntie Zhang who was being delivered to the village. She was often giving birth to babies, so perhaps she could tell if Gao Yang was pregnant or not.

"Ah!" Gao Yang still didn't know that there was such a capable person in the village. She only knew that there were some people who were able to grind out their child's birthplace when their child was older, but she really didn't know if they were able to do that.

If she had known earlier that it would be so troublesome, she would have bought some pregnancy test rods in her previous life. This way, she wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Auntie, even if I have a few days, it's not enough. Can she even touch it?" Gao Yang still couldn't believe it.

"Hehe!" Auntie Li looked at Gao Yang and laughed. "Little girl, Auntie Zhang knows a bit of Chinese medicine. How else would she be able to see it?" Auntie Li was also amused by Gao Yang's words. Did this child really think he could feel it out just by touching his stomach? If he could, then it would take at least four to five months.

"Uh …" Gao Yang was a bit embarrassed. He didn't think that she meant 'take a look'! "Auntie, can she tell? If I go, should I give her some of it?" Gao Yang felt that if he was going to beg someone for help, then he would feel embarrassed if he didn't take the items.

"We'll go tomorrow. You just have to pick up a pound of brown sugar when you go, but do you have any at home?" Aunt Li remembered that brown sugar was a rare item in the village. She didn't know if Gao Yang's house had it, "If you don't have it in your house, you can take a few eggs or something!"

Actually, in Gao Yang's home, brown sugar wasn't something rare, but she couldn't bring it out with her right away. "Auntie, there's still some red sugar in the house. I bought it to prepare for when I catch a cold and drink ginger soup!" In fact, Gao Yang knew that their family was very thin right now. Some things couldn't be taken out of the house in the past, and even if they were best friends, they couldn't be revealed. Otherwise, outsiders would be suspicious.

"Alright then. When the time comes, I'll bring you there with me. We'll go there in the morning!" Auntie Li heard Gao Yang say that their family had brown sugar, so they could just take it with them. As for the rest, they didn't need to take it. A pound of brown sugar in the village was also a pretty good gift.

She also knew some of the customs in the countryside, such as taking some snacks or brown sugar from relatives. If she took some meat, it would be a big gift, she couldn't show off like that, because they knew their youth, if they were found out by the villagers, they would definitely be ostracized. Gao Yang didn't want to be in so much trouble.

"Then I'll go back first, you should get busy first!" Since she was done with her work, she didn't want to keep him busy. Besides, Zhan Fei told her to dig some wild vegetables when she came out, and it just so happened that she could go for a walk as well. Since she had nothing to do back home, she might as well find some wild vegetables to eat.

"Alright, you can go back now. When tomorrow morning comes, auntie will bring you along!" Auntie Li also straightforwardly let Gao Yang leave. In fact, she was quite busy as well. After all, the spring farming would start in a few days. If they didn't make use of these few days to prepare the vegetable patch, then their family's vegetable patch would not be tidied up well.

"Yes, Auntie, you're busy. I'm leaving!" Gao Yang was about to leave when Auntie Li saw that Gao Yang was about to leave. She stood up and saw him off.

When Gao Yang returned home, seeing that there was no one in the house, she took her shovel and basket out to the mountain to find some wild vegetables. Since she couldn't help, it was better for her to cook properly.

Thus, Gao Yang hummed a song and went to look for wild vegetables in the fields not far from his home. Actually, there were a lot of families that didn't have enough food in the spring, so when she went out, she met people digging wild vegetables in the village.

Since Gao Yang wasn't too familiar with them, he could only call them "auntie" with a smile. Gao Yang remembered that there seemed to be a lot of people in the family, and most of them were boys. The boys were eating right now, so even if the kids went out to earn some money, there was still not enough food to eat.

When they saw Gao Yang calling out to them, they said, "You're going to dig up some wild vegetables as well. Could it be that your family doesn't have enough food to eat?"

She only knew that her husband's surname was Liu. "Auntie Liu, there's enough food in the house, I just feel that some wild vegetables have come out and have been eating for the whole winter. I even want to taste some of the green vegetables in my mouth!" Gao Yang pointed at the grass on the road and joked with them.

"Hehe!" Auntie Liu and the others were amused by Gao Yang's attitude. They didn't know that Gao Yang was so funny!

"Little girl, why didn't you see that you could speak in such a manner?" Seeing Gao Yang's lively look, she also felt that his temper wasn't bad, at least it was better than those from the other villages. When those young men saw their eyes, they wished they could hurt the sky, let alone joke with them, they even looked down on him when they talked. When they saw Gao Yang before, they thought he was like that, so they didn't say anything to him.

"Didn't I eat cabbage potatoes and pickles all winter?" The most important thing was that she knew that they still had to stay in the village for a few years, so it was better for them to get along. Furthermore, if she had children in the future, she couldn't possibly keep them at home every day, right? At that time, she would have a good relationship with the villagers, and when the children went out to play, she would feel more at ease.

"Hehe, that's right. We've already eaten cabbage and potatoes for the entire winter, so when we see something green, we're also hungry!" As they chatted, they came to the ground. The ground was still sticky. No matter what, they had just finished a winter's worth of learning.

Gao Yang looked at the ground and saw that there were already a few people looking for wild vegetables. "Let's start looking too!" As he spoke, Gao Yang lowered his head to look for the wild vegetables on the ground.

"Aiya, there's quite a lot of people today, but why is everyone here today?" Auntie Liu muttered while she was digging the wild vegetables with her head down.

Gao Yang also felt that there were more people here today, but she felt that the reason why there were so many people here today was because this place was so close to home! But Gao Yang didn't say anything, so she continued to lower her head to look for wild vegetables. Besides, it had been a winter and there were quite a few wild vegetables in the field.

When Auntie Liu and the others saw that Gao Yang was only looking for wild vegetables, they didn't say anything more. They were originally here to look for wild vegetables, and since this wasn't their home, they could only grumble.

Gao Yang had only found some pickles to dip in, so she wasn't in a hurry. It was not too late anyway, and she had nothing to do back home with. She could only treat it as having come out to play, so she slowly dug up some wild vegetables.

When she got tired of digging, she would stand up and rest. Since most people only dug up wild vegetables to save food, Gao Yang felt really relaxed. However, even if someone looked at her, she just smiled and didn't say anything.

Gao Yang looked up at the sun and felt that it was almost time to make lunch. She took the basket and wanted to go back, but when she saw that Auntie Liu and the others were still digging wild vegetables, she shouted at them, "Auntie Liu, I'm going back first!"

Auntie Liu, who was digging with her head down, heard Gao Yang's shout. She raised her head and looked at him, "Okay, you can go back first. We'll go back later. When we have time, come and play with Auntie!"

"Okay." Gao Yang waved his hand and left.

When she wandered back home, Gao Yang saw that there was still no one in the room, so he took the thermos and the cup to the backyard.

Sure enough, when Gao Yang arrived at the backyard, he saw Zhan Fei and a few other elders wearing thin clothes working there. Looking at their sweating bodies, Gao Yang felt a burst of helplessness in his heart.

When she was holding the kettle, she felt that there was not the slightest bit of water missing. She knew that the three of them didn't even have a single sip of water.

"Grandpa Sun, Zhan Fei, come here and drink some water first!" Gao Yang stood by the side of the vegetable patch that they had prepared and shouted to the workers.

Only then did Zhan Fei realize that Gao Yang was already standing there smiling.

"Grandfathers, let's go back and drink some water first. We can take a break for a while before doing anything!"
