Chapter 151 Rumors
Su Tong handed the packed medicine to Lin Li, asking him to deliver it to Xing Dongyang, and then turned around and said:
“Here it comes!”
Looking at the money in Aunt Cuifen's hand, she was also stunned.
I counted it and it was exactly two hundred and thirty yuan.
There were both zeros and whole numbers, and Xing Dongyang was afraid that he had left everything he had.
Thinking about what her son said, Aunt Cuifen blurted out:
"This, this is... the money for the medicine. This is too much!"
The two were in a daze.
"Brother Xing! Brother Xing!"
The sound of a stone came from the yard, and a moment later someone rushed into the house and looked around, "Sister Tongya, I heard that Brother Xing is leaving?"
"Yes! He is going back to the city! He should be at the educated youth center now."
"Then I'll go see him off!"
Shitou turned around and tried to run, but Su Tong grabbed him.
"Just right, do me a favor!"
After saying this, he whispered a few words into Shitou's ear and handed him the money.
Shi Tou saw so much money, wiped his hands on his pants, wiped them again, and then carefully took it and said:
"Yeah! Don't worry! I won't let him find out!"
——————
Xing Dongyang found the money that Shi Tou had stuffed into the inner layer of the bag on the train back to the city. Looking at the 230 yuan wrapped in oil paper, not a penny less, Xing Dongyang's eyes became red again.
He used to look forward to returning to the city, hoping to show his talents in his favorite industry and build a career.
We went to the countryside in the first place to respond to the call and support national construction, but more importantly, because of the Chairman's words, to train ourselves in the vast countryside.
So he never felt lost or depressed in Yunshan Village, and he always faced everything positively.
In fact, several years of rural life wore away his impetuousness and laxity, making him, who had been raised in a wealthy city in Beijing, more calm and restrained, with a different perspective and a deeper understanding of life.
Yunshan Village was originally going to be a small stop in his life journey, but because of Su Tong, everything is different now. He sits on the train speeding forward, but his heart remains in that remote mountain village.
The only thing to be thankful for was that Zhang Zhenglin and his mother did not dwell on Zhang Yaping's matter, and somehow they figured it out. When he arrived at the county guesthouse, he learned that they had checked out and returned to Beijing the day before.
He felt somewhat comforted that he did not let Su Tong see his most embarrassing side before leaving Yunshan Village.
The news of Xing Dongyang's early return to the city caused quite a stir in the commune. The educated youth from various villages were jealous and enthusiastic. The commune took the opportunity to hold a mobilization meeting, calling on the educated youth to learn from Comrade Xing Dongyang, his positive, hard-working and helpful qualities, and encouraging everyone to strive for more good policies.
Although this is the only exception in recent years of returning to the city early, it still greatly encouraged a large group of people before the spring plowing season.
There are more and more rumors in Yunshan Village. Although Zheng Liangping's incident has cleared Su Tong of the title of "disaster star", there are indeed many strange things that happened to Wu Tong!
For example, she would fight for no apparent reason and could also cure illnesses. Later, it was rumored that she was not Wu Dashan's biological daughter. It was said that it was Old Mrs. Wu who said it herself, that she was sent to the Wu family by a fairy.
What this immortal sent was either a god or a monster.
What's more, most of Wu Dashan's family members died, were arrested, fell ill, or escaped. Only Old Lady Wu, who lived in the second brother's house, was left. She was also paralyzed and mentally ill.
Wu Tong even changed his surname and left the old Wu family. No matter how you look at it, something is not right, otherwise why would Wu Dashan's family end up in such a broken-up state?
In short, it becomes more and more bizarre as it spreads.
The news that Xing Dongyang had stayed at Su Tong's house for a few days eventually turned into Su Tong trying to hook up with Xing Dongyang and wanted to follow him back to the city, but Xing Dongyang didn't like her, otherwise why didn't he take her back to the city...
Regardless of whether this girl was a disaster or not, or whether her background was evil or not, the fact that she was toyed with and abandoned by a man after being rejected three times in marriage was a foregone conclusion in the eyes of the villagers of Yunshan Village.
Aunt Cuifen almost got into fights with villagers over this matter several times. As a result, it was rumored that she could not distinguish right from wrong after getting the favor from Su Tong. It was also said that when Su Tong was having an affair, she, as an elder, not only did not stop him, but also helped to keep watch. Aunt Cuifen was so angry that blisters appeared on the corners of her mouth, and she almost used a hoe to dig at the other party's door.
Su Tong didn't have the energy to take care of these things. There was not much work to do during the first month of the year, and she had no relatives to visit, so she focused on taking the two old men out for exercise, and carefully regulating her own and the two old men's health.
By the way, I also help Aunt Cuifen with her treatment.
Anyway, most herbs are not valuable, and she has no shortage of valuable ones. The herbal supplements that Peng Hui sent her would take her a long time to finish.
She doesn't care what others say, she just wants to have some peace and quiet here.
I spent a lot of time tinkering with prescriptions around the house, trying to see if I could make some common medicines into pills that are easy to carry without any machines.
Liu Shiwen was quite efficient. He asked Xing Dongyang to return to the city early because he was afraid of revenge from Meng Huzi. Now Meng Huzi was still on the run, and it was not known whether he had other accomplices. Although it was unlikely that he would come back for revenge, Su Tong felt much more at ease that Xing Dongyang was not implicated by this matter.
Aunt Cuifen brought Wu Erlaizi back home since the third year of the Chinese New Year. From New Year's Eve to the second day of the Chinese New Year, they enjoyed delicious food and drinks at Su Tong's house. Su Tong also had to entertain the public security comrades, so it would be inappropriate for him to eat any more.
Su Tong couldn't persuade Aunt Cuifen, so he packed two big baskets with meat, eggs, malted milk and other things and sent them over. However, after eating the meal made by Su Tong, Wu Erlaizi found his mother's meal boring and even wandered over here when it was time for dinner. Su Tong didn't say much when he saw this and just added chopsticks for him as usual.
That day, Su Tong took some time to go up the mountain. There were not many prey in winter, but the intervals were long, and he still brought back a wild rabbit and two wild pheasants from the trap.
It was just time for dinner and the dishes were still being served when Wu Erlaizi came in just in time. Seeing a large bowl of pheasant soup on the table, he sat down at the table with a swagger.
Su Tong was used to his careless attitude, so she didn't argue with him and silently added a set of bowls and chopsticks for him.
As long as he didn't do anything out of line, she wouldn't bother to argue with him. If he did, she would still teach him a lesson in front of Aunt Cuifen.
As for food, she could never go poor.
Not to mention that she has a lot of savings now. When the weather warms up, the animals on the mountain will be more active, and the herbs will sprout and revive all over the mountains. With such a mountain under her control, she will never have to worry about food and drink.
"Tong Ya!"
Wu Erlaizi stretched out his chopsticks and muttered, "This pheasant chicken has to be stir-fried, just like last time..."
Su Tong noticed a blood mark on the back of his hand, and then saw that his sleeve was covered with dust. With a "pa--" sound, he threw the chopsticks at him.
"Go wash your hands! Wash them thoroughly before you serve!"
Wu Erlaizi's hand retracted in pain, "It's okay! The blood has stopped flowing a long time ago. It's my sister who feels sorry for me..."
As he said this, he reached for his chopsticks again.
Su Tong glanced at him coldly, "Dirty!"
