When Zhou Man saw this, she just clicked her tongue inwardly and didn't meddle in it.

Liu Hongying wouldn't meddle in other people's business; she was already asleep in bed.

After Lu Xiao finished eating, he returned to his room and started chatting with Zhang Shang: "That Su Zhiqing cooks really well. This chicken stew is so delicious."

“You’re still as shameless as ever, always going wherever there’s food to mooch off others,” Zhang Shang replied.

"I helped too, okay? Humph, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to wash up, rest, and go to bed."

Zhang Shang watched Lu Xiao walk out of the room, while Lu Xiao was still sitting on the bed thinking about things in Beijing.

His family had originally planned to send him to the army, but someone was keeping a close eye on them, and no one from his family went to the countryside to receive education.

To avoid giving anyone any leverage against him, he had no choice but to come here. But it's for the best; it allows him to escape the conflicts at home.

He just didn't know how long he would have to stay before he could go back. He hoped everything would go smoothly. Thinking this, Zhang Shang took his clothes and went out to take a shower.

Time flies, and soon it was 11 p.m. The educated youth settlement was quiet, with the occasional faint smell of mugwort.

Su Tian gently opened the door, looked around, and quickly climbed over the courtyard wall and jumped down.

She turned on her flashlight, walked to Song Weiguang's house, and meowed a few times like a cat.

Song Weiguang was about to leave when he heard a cat meowing and suspected it was Su Tian calling out.

He gently opened the door and saw Su Tian standing outside. He asked softly, "Any goods?"

Su Tian glanced at him: "Yes, a wild boar weighing about 300 pounds. Take it to town on a cart, get the money, and bring it back to me."

"Okay, where's the wild boar?"

"Please pull the cart out from behind your house first, I'll go to the wild boar first."

"Okay." He quickly went to pull out his family's cart.

Su Tian quickly walked to the back of the yard, took the wild boar out of her spatial storage, and placed it on the ground.

"Was this wild boar just killed?"

"Yeah, I killed it this afternoon. You'd better take it away quickly, I'm leaving now." After saying that, Su Tian turned and left, she was in a hurry to get to the cowshed.

Watching her departing figure, Song Weiguang quickly pulled the wild boar away as well.

The nights in the countryside are gloomy and dark, so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face.

But he was used to walking at night, and with a flashlight, he was no longer afraid.

If I'm not afraid of being poor, why would I be afraid of the dark?

As Su Tian approached the cowshed, she took out the pheasant she had hunted that day from her spatial storage.

She went into the cowshed and gently knocked on the door.

The elderly couple were very surprised. Who would be knocking on the door so late? He hesitated for a few moments but still didn't open the door.

“It was me, Su, a former educated youth.”

Upon hearing Su Tian's voice, he immediately got up and opened the door.

"Did you need something? Come in first." He looked around and quickly closed the door.

"This is the pheasant we hunted today. Go start the fire, and I'll pluck its feathers for you."

It's inconvenient for me to do this at the educated youth settlement; I have something I'd like to discuss with you later.

Thinking that the cowshed was so remote and deserted late at night, he quickly started a fire.
