Chen Gang was carrying a small bundle of firewood that the two of them had collected. When he passed by the river, he saw several women catching fish in the river.

"Brother Chen Gang, why don't we go down and try catching some fish? We haven't had any fresh fish in ages."

Upon hearing He Hua's words, Chen Gang's mouth immediately started watering; he hadn't had such a treat in a long time.

He put the firewood aside, rolled up his trousers, and went down into the river to bend over and catch fish.

He searched for a long time but couldn't catch a single fish.

The sun was getting stronger, and he was sweating more and more. He was losing patience.

"Let's go back, these fish are hard to catch," Chen Gang said to He Hua.

"Oh well."

The two carried firewood back to the educated youth settlement together. He Hua noticed Su Tian sitting at the door of the room, enjoying the cool air.

He Hua, ever the drama queen, said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Chen Gang, you must be exhausted. Quickly put down the firewood."

I'll get a towel to wipe your sweat. You're sweating so much, it breaks my heart to see you like this."

After saying that, He Hua glanced smugly at Su Tian, ​​went into the room to get a towel, and came out to find that Su Tian, ​​that bitch, had disappeared in just a short while.

"Tch, this is so boring. I thought it would upset Su Tian."

Zhou Man came out, glanced at He Hua, and asked, "Where did you move to?"

"Me? I'm right next door. I got my marriage certificate with Chen Gang, and we'll be living together from now on," He Hua boasted again about their marriage registration.

"Oh, I see." Zhou Man said, then turned and went into the room.

"Huh, I thought I'd congratulate them on getting their marriage certificate. Neither of them understands human relationships."

No wonder he couldn't catch up with that educated youth Zhang; someone who's completely clueless about social interactions deserves to suffer setbacks every time.

After muttering to herself, He Hua turned around and went back to her room.

At this time, Su Tian had already gone to the brigade's primary school for classes, and the afternoon class was natural science.

She plans to take the fourth-grade students to the foot of the mountain to observe simple natural phenomena, learn about plants and animals, and gain a basic understanding of the natural environment and scientific knowledge around them.

The students lined up happily, waiting for Su Tian to take them to the foot of the mountain.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun wasn't so strong anymore. When they reached the foot of the mountain, it was cool and breezy under the trees.

"Children, can you observe what's different about the plants on the ground?"

You can also observe the sun; why is it in this position?

After hearing Su Tian's words, the students spontaneously took action.

"If you find any wild vegetables, you can pick them and take them home."

“That’s so nice, Teacher Su, hehe…” one of the students said.

Su Tian stood smiling to the side watching the students observe the plants when suddenly she heard a rustling sound coming from the grass.

Huh, what's that? Why does it sound like a snake?

Su Tian immediately became alert. She slowly approached the bushes from which the sound came from, and gently parted the bushes. A snake quickly crawled out.

"Hehe... What a huge rat snake, as big as a baby's arm."

Su Tian immediately picked up a stick and pressed it down on the snake's head. She slowly squatted down and reached out her hand towards the snake.

The krait snake flicked its tongue and hissed, seemingly issuing a warning.

But Su Tian showed no fear. Seizing the opportunity, she struck suddenly, grabbing the snake's vital spot with lightning precision.

The cauliflower snake writhed wildly in Su Tian's hands, but could no longer escape.

When the students saw that Su Tian had caught the rat snake, they all ran over to see.

"Teacher Su, you're amazing! Aren't you afraid of it?"

"Teacher, don't be afraid. This snake is a rat snake, it's not poisonous."

Look at this snake's head, isn't it oval-shaped? If so, this snake is not venomous.

If the snake's head is flat, it's poisonous, and you need to leave immediately, understand?

This is also what natural science teaches: in the wild, no matter what kind of snake you encounter, you must stay away from it and not try to catch or hit it.

"Okay, teacher, we understand."

"Alright, everyone, let's continue to observe, but be careful."

After Su Tian finished speaking, she stuffed the snake into the cloth bag she always carried and tied the bag opening with a rope.

She was overjoyed to have gained so much from her trip.

Fortunately, the rat snake was not a protected wild animal at that time, otherwise I might have been jailed in no time.

Thirty minutes later, Su Tian felt that it was almost time for get out of class to end.

She wanted to reward the children, and since the foot of the mountain was very close to the educated youth settlement, she picked up the cloth bag containing the snakes and brought them back to the settlement.

When they returned to the educated youth settlement, the students were very surprised. Why didn't they go back to school?

"Aren't you curious why you came to where your teacher lives? It's because you've been good, and your teacher wants to reward you."

"Teacher has a question for you all, have you ever eaten White Rabbit milk candy?" Su Tian asked, looking at her innocent and adorable students.

All 18 students quickly shook their heads, their eyes revealing a bewildered look.

Su Tian looked at these children and felt a pang of sadness.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go into the room and get it for you."

After Su Tian finished speaking, she opened her room, brought the snake into the room, took out 18 White Rabbit milk candies and 18 fruit candies from the box, walked out of the room, and distributed them to them one by one.

"The one in the white packaging is White Rabbit milk candy, and the other one is fruit candy. Take them carefully, and wash your hands before eating. We have to wash our hands before eating anything, understand?"
