"You can come to us if you need anything in the future. I'll write down my home phone number for you later. You can call us if you need anything." After saying that, he took out a pen and paper from the car, quickly wrote down his phone number, and stuffed it into Su Tian's hand.

Su Tian smiled happily as she watched Jian Qingshan's swift and efficient movements.

She could tell that Uncle Jian was a straightforward person, and Little Star beside her also spoke up, "Sister Su, come to my house to play with me when you have time. I have lots of toys at home."

"Okay, I'll come visit you when I have time."

"Su Tian, ​​here's a bonus envelope. Keep it and open it after we leave," Lu Xinglan said gently.

"Aunt Lu, you've given me so many gifts, and you're still giving me a bonus. I'm a little embarrassed."

“Take it if you want. Do you want to work in the city? If you do, we’ll arrange it for you when we get back,” Jian Qingshan said with a smile.

“Uncle Jian, I don’t want to go yet. I’ve only been in the countryside for a short time, and I want to make a name for myself in the rural area first.”

"Haha... That's ambitious. Okay, if you want to work, remember to contact us. We'll help you arrange it."

"Also, I've specially prepared a banner and left it with the Public Security Bureau. They'll send someone to deliver it to you later. We think it's better for you if they deliver the banner to you themselves," Jian Qingshan said.

Su Tian couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this and quickly thanked her.

Uncle Jian is a truly remarkable person; no wonder he became the factory manager.

They chatted about their family lives, and everyone seemed very happy, bursting into laughter from time to time.

Before they knew it, it was noon. Jian Qingshan was worried that Su Tian would cook for them, so he quickly said that he had to rush back.

Su Tian wanted them to stay for lunch, but they refused.

In those days, food was so precious, how could they possibly leave behind the food meant for their savior? They were even thinking of inviting her to a state-run restaurant, but unfortunately, Su Tian refused to go.

Su Tian saw them off from the educated youth settlement and watched them drive away.

She then locked all the food on the ground into the cupboard. She couldn't bear to kill the old hen and wanted to keep her to lay eggs.

She tied the chicken's feet with a meter-long rope and bound it to the pile of firewood. She took out a broken bowl, filled it with some water, and fed it to the hen. Then she took another bowl, filled it with some rice, and fed it to the hen as well.

People from Guangxi Province, like those from Guangdong Province, like to bring pork and chicken as gifts when visiting relatives. This made Su Tian feel very warm and familiar, as if they were really relatives from her own family visiting her.

After finishing their work at the threshing ground, the people at the educated youth settlement ran back to the settlement in high spirits, especially Ma Chunling and Zhang Tingting.

They were proud that the educated youth settlement had such a great hero as Su Tian.

"Su Tian, ​​Su Tian, ​​you're amazing! Not only did you catch the human traffickers, you also discovered they were human traffickers! That's incredible!" Zhang Tingting exclaimed.

“Yes, yes, Su Tian, ​​you are simply my role model,” Ma Chunling said.

Others echoed this sentiment, saying they all wanted to know as soon as possible about the arrest of the human traffickers that day.

Su Tian could only slowly recount what happened that day. After listening to Su Tian's story, they felt even more admiration for her. If it were them, they really wouldn't have been able to discover that the old couple were human traffickers.

Those who say they're jealous of Su Tian aren't showing it on the surface; at least everyone is happily congratulating Su Tian.

It was clearly He Hua who was jealous of Su Tian. Her clothes were all crumpled from being gripped so tightly by her hands. She cursed inwardly: What's so great about her that she has to brag to so many people? If I were in charge, I could catch a dozen human traffickers, humph...

Chen Gang, standing nearby, thought to himself: If it were before, Su Tian would definitely have received a share of the gifts, since he was her boyfriend. But now, Su Tian completely ignores him. What a pity…

"Come on, everyone, this is a piece of pork belly, weighing two pounds. It was just a gift from someone. It's an extra meal for everyone tonight, and everyone gets a share."

"Thank you so much, Su Tian, ​​hahaha..."

Finally, we can eat meat! We can eat meat!

Looking at their innocent and adorable smiles, Su Tian realized that in modern times, they were just college students who had just started university, just big kids.

She was the same; she was only a sophomore in college when the apocalypse struck. She survived for five years before being killed by the zombie king.

Thinking of this, she wished she could drag him out and chop him up again and again, cutting him forty-nine times.

The atmosphere at the educated youth settlement was always great; everyone was happy. Today, they didn't have to work after paying their grain tax, and they even got to eat meat. They had worked hard for a month, and today was their happiest day.

“I’ll cook this meat. I guarantee you’ll want more after you eat it,” said Zheng Yuanyuan, the best cook at the educated youth settlement.

"Okay, then you can have this meat. We'll help you out," the others chimed in.

Zhang Tingting and Li Chanjuan, who were cooking alone, took out four ounces of rice from their room and handed it to the cooks. Some of them picked vegetables, some pulled potatoes, and some pulled radishes...

Everyone was busy preparing for this lunch...

Xie Qiuying hurriedly washed the pot and cooked rice, while the male educated youth helped wash, cut, and peel the meat, and chopped it into pieces.

Su Tian went back to her room and got four or five eggs, preparing to make a pot of scallion egg drop soup.

Seeing that the pork belly had been cut into chunks, Zheng Yuanyuan called Xu Wen to help start the fire, as she was preparing to make braised pork.

First, she heated the pan, poured in the meat, stir-fried it evenly, then added some white sugar, stir-fried it a few more times, and cooked it until it turned a caramel color.

Then add a little white wine and soy sauce, stir-fry evenly, and pour in warm water to cover the meat pieces.

Add star anise, bay leaves, ginger slices, and scallion leaves, and simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes.

When it was almost done stewing, she added white radish and potatoes to the meat and stewed them together. Ten minutes later, the entire educated youth settlement was filled with the aroma of meat.

"Wow... Yuanyuan, it smells so good! Just smelling this meat makes me feel full without even eating it," Li Chanjuan said, clapping her hands.

"Hehe...that's right, just stir-fry some vegetables and we can eat."

"Come on, the egg drop soup is ready. You guys make the soup and let it cool down first." Su Tian brought the cooked soup to the table.

Upon hearing Su Tian's words, everyone went to get their own bowls, poured soup, and let it cool before drinking it.

Before long, the stir-fried vegetables were ready, and the braised pork was served.

"Comrades, we can start now," Zhou Dajun said with a smile.

They ate their meal happily and chatted happily, and everyone felt very happy.

Another unforgettable day, a day worth remembering...
