Chapter 62 Surprise
Shitou was so excited that he told everything he knew.
Su Tong reached out to remove the needle for Aunt Cuifen. Aunt Cuifen opened her eyes weakly, "Tongya, thank you so much! Go and do your own thing! I'm fine now!"
"It's okay, Auntie. Secretary Wu and his men will take care of the reporters, and my mom will go to receive the award. We agreed on it last time, so it doesn't matter if I go or not."
"Sister Tongya! You, you really don't want to go! I heard that if the reporter interviews you, it will be published in the newspaper!"
Shitou was a little anxious.
"Shi Tou! Go to the kitchen and see if the porridge is ready. If it is, serve a bowl for Auntie!"
"Oh!" Shitou went to the kitchen angrily.
Aunt Cuifen kept wiping her eyes with her sleeves, "Girl! Don't let me delay your work!"
"It's okay! I didn't want to go in the first place! But Auntie, you have to take good care of your body in the future. Fortunately, you recovered this time, but who knows what might happen next time!"
"What else could happen? I've let it go a long time ago. His life is worthless. His father passed away early, and Erbao is not doing well. There's no point in me living..."
Su Tong was silent for a moment, and said, "Don't think too much, it's important to take care of your health first."
As the two were talking, they saw someone peeking out of the door. When Su Tong turned around, the person retreated back.
"Aunt Dequan, Aunt Dayou, why are you standing at the door?"
Shitou just happened to be carrying some porridge over and asked curiously at the person at the door.
"Shitou is here too! Secretary Wu asked us to come over and look after your Aunt Cuifen for a while! Come on! Give me the porridge! You, you should bring people over quickly!"
Aunt Dequan winked at Shitou as she spoke.
Su Tong knew that Secretary Wu had asked these two aunts to replace her. Aunt Dequan and her daughter Wu Xiaofang were unwilling to sit on the tractor with her last time, so they definitely didn't want to stay in the same room with her now...
Su Tong said a few words to Aunt Cuifen, then got up and left the room. The two aunts beside him immediately moved away from him, as if they were afraid of being contaminated by bad luck.
Ever since Fatty was cured, rumors about Wu Jia Daya have become more and more intense. Most people believe that Wu Jia Daya has become more and more unlucky and powerful recently. She can bring bad luck to anyone at will. If anyone makes her unhappy, she will do whatever she wants and whoever is affected will be unlucky.
The rumor spread so much that everyone in the village was in a panic. Whenever someone sprained their ankle or fell asleep, they would think of Wu's Daya.
There are also a small number of people who are relatively sober. They think that Daya of the Wu family has changed her personality since she became a hero. Not only has she won honor and benefits for the village, she also dared to go against her own mother. She cured the cows as soon as she went to the cowshed. She also learned medical skills at some point and saved Fatty and Aunt Cuifen. Seeing that this girl has changed in spirit and spirit, they dare not underestimate her anymore.
Of course, whether good or bad, Su Tong knew nothing about these discussions. Even if she knew... she would not take it to heart.
Su Tong went out, but did not go to the village office. She went straight to her own yard, and Shi Tou followed her.
"Sister Tongya, you really don't want to go! What a great opportunity!"
"I'm not going. Your dad is still helping me make the kang! I'm busy today!"
"Then I won't go either. I'll go and help you."
"No! Go ahead! Keep an eye on it for me, and come back and tell me if anything happens!"
Su Tong sent Shi Tou away. She had to go home and make some preparations. If Wang Guilan didn't get the bonus today, who knows what kind of fuss she would make.
When he returned to the courtyard, Ma Daming had already brought all the necessary adobe bricks on a wheelbarrow, and the mud had also been prepared.
Zheng Liangping also removed the branches of the bamboo, sawed off the useless bamboo tips, trimmed them neatly and stacked them in a pile for use.
It was only at this time that Su Tong realized that bamboo weaving is a delicate job. The bamboo has to be split into strips, and then soaked in water mixed with rosin and wood asphalt. It is said that this can increase its toughness and prevent insects and decay. The soaking time also depends on the different uses before it can be used for weaving.
Seeing Su Tong coming back, several people began to discuss the direction and size of the kang, as well as the details such as which furniture to make and in what quantity.
Yunshan Village is located in a geographical location that is neither north nor south. Most people here like to sleep on beds, while a small number of families sleep on kangs. Although kangs are warm, they consume a lot of firewood, and the kang surface is prone to moisture in summer.
However, Yunshan Village is close to the Yunshan Mountains, which are high and steep. It is colder in winter than the surrounding areas, and many families have the conditions to heat their kangs.
Su Tong had experienced cold waves and freezing when she was on a mission in the wild in the early years. She chose to sleep on a kang without hesitation. She would spend the winter in warmth first and then think about it next summer!
Ma Daming is a chatterbox and he can't stop talking even when he is working.
"Tong Ya! You have more and more things in this house. I have to remind you! After Old Wu left, although this house has no owner, it is not under your name yet. Logically speaking, no one will compete with you for this broken house. You can pay a symbolic amount of money to the village and ask the village to handle the procedures for you to plan the house under your name..."
"But! You are the daughter of the old Wu family, and you haven't married yet. You can't come out and set up a household on your own. Whether this procedure can be completed is a problem. You must ask clearly later, otherwise these things in the house... all cost money!"
Although Ma Daming was nagging as usual, Su Tong took it to heart and thought about asking him later.
Several people were busy with their own things when Lao Qi and Lao Lin pushed open the gate and came in with strange expressions on their faces.
Su Tong had to go see Aunt Cuifen early in the morning, so the two old men took on the work in the cowshed and were so busy that they didn't come back until now.
Before Su Tong could ask, Lao Qi said, "Girl, someone is looking for you outside."
Su Tong put down the work in his hands and went outside the courtyard gate. He was a little surprised. No wonder the two old men had that expression.
The person who came was actually Zhang Yaping.
"Zhang Zhiqing, are you looking for me?"
Su Tong was also curious. Apart from a word they said last night, she and this girl had never had any contact. Didn't she always follow Xing Dongyang? Why did she come to her?
Zhang Yaping had a smile on her face, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was a bit stiff. She said:
"Wu Tong, there is an award ceremony prepared for you in the village today, and there are reporters coming to interview you about your heroic deeds. I was afraid you didn't know, so I came here to tell you."
"Oh! I already know about this, thank you! It's troublesome for you to make a special trip." Su Tong replied politely.
"Then why don't you go?"
Seeing that Su Tong looked calm and unhurried, Zhang Yaping suddenly became anxious.
"Oh! You may not know, I told Secretary Wu a while ago that my mother will go to receive the award, so I don't have to go!"
"But the reporters still want to interview you! How can you not go?" Zhang Yaping was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Su Tong looked a little puzzled. It didn't matter whether she went or not, why was she in such a hurry?
