"This thing called ham tastes really good!" Wu Guixiang also drank half a bowl of soup, smacked the taste in her mouth, and savored it.
"It's really delicious, and your mouth is full of the aroma of meat." Su Aiguo also praised.
"Otherwise, why do you say it's a good thing?" Zhang Xinlan was quite pleased with herself. This time, the focus of the family was finally on their second wife's child.
"It just doesn't last long. It's just a leg. It's gone after just a few meals."
Su Qingyun looked at the thin slices of meat in the bowl. With this cutting method and knife skills, the chef of Kangshoufu who cuts beef has to learn from her second aunt.
If you slice it like this for every meal, it will last you at least a week.
Wu Guixiang thought for a moment and said, "How about this? When you send a letter to Congwen, tell him that it won't cost him anything to send two more legs. We can send him the money to buy them."
Zhang Xinlan was about to retort when she heard that her son didn't have to pay, so she immediately gave up.
"Okay, Mom, I'll tell Congwen about it." Zhang Xinlan looked at Su Congwu, who was eating so hard that he couldn't even lift his head. "Did you hear me? Remember to write it in the letter to your brother."
"knew."
Zhang Xinlan frowned as she looked at her younger son who seemed a little perfunctory. The elder brother was in the army now and was supported by the country, but the younger brother was still slacking off all day long and didn't behave properly. She couldn't help but compare Cong Wen's military career with that of a scholar. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. She had completely forgotten who had opposed Cong Wen's decision to join the army.
"Congwu, let me ask you, do you think the worker recruitment is going to work?" Congwu had no idea what to do that whole day, and she was always worried.
"I know what's going on." Su Congwu said casually.
"What do you think you are?" Zhang Xinlan said anxiously, "When is the exam?"
Su Congwu picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and said casually, "The day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow? The whole family stopped eating.
Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened. "The exam is the day after tomorrow? Why didn't you tell me earlier, you bastard?"
"What's the point of telling me? You can't help me take the exam, but you have to worry and be nervous for me." Su Congwu just wanted to take the exam quietly and tell his family when he got good news, but he still couldn't withstand his mother's questioning.
"Which factory are you applying to, Third Brother?" Su Qingyun asked curiously.
"A textile factory."
"Textile factory?" the whole family said in unison.
"No, Congwu, are you mistaken?" Zhang Xinlan looked confused. "Don't textile factories hire women? What are you, a grown man, doing there?"
"Mom, you don't understand what I've said." Su Congwu said helplessly, "The textile factory also needs technicians. Not all of them make clothes. Besides, even those who make clothes have men. Maybe their work is more detailed than that of many female workers."
Zhang Xinlan curled her lips, "Wouldn't that be like a woman?"
Su Qingyun smiled and said, "Second aunt, if Third Brother can pass the technician exam, his salary will be very high."
"Really?" Zhang Xinlan's attention was immediately diverted. "How many can there be?"
Su Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "A junior technician should get at least twenty yuan."
So much! Zhang Xinlan was overjoyed. Isn’t that higher than the salary of joining the army?
She immediately picked up a piece of meat for Su Congwu with her chopsticks and said with a smile: "Congwu, eat quickly. You will have more energy to read after you are full. I believe you will pass the technician exam!"
"Thank you, Mom." Su Congwu knew his mother would have this reaction. It seemed that he had to pass the technician exam, otherwise his mother would tear him apart!
Zhang Xinlan's smile widened, as if she had already seen the day when Cong Wu would give her the salary.
Su Qingyun was once again impressed by his second aunt's money-grubbing nature.
Since Su Congwu is going to the county to take an exam the day after tomorrow, the Su family discussed it and decided to set the time for dinner with the Wen family for the day after tomorrow, and the whole Su family will go to the county together!
But the day after tomorrow is Tuesday, and Su Qingyun has to go to school. She thought about it and asked for leave from her homeroom teacher, Teacher Qin, the next day. Teacher Qin was very confident in her now and agreed readily.
Su Qingyun had almost finished reading the books she borrowed from the county library and was planning to return them tomorrow. During self-study class, she thought about it and casually asked Ji Yue beside her, "Have you finished reading the books you borrowed?"
"What?" Ji Yue was puzzled.
"I've taken a day off to go to the county tomorrow and will return the book. I thought if you've finished reading it, I'd bring it along."
"I'll go by myself. There are still some places I haven't seen yet."
"That's fine." Su Qingyun didn't care.
Ji Yue: "You haven't been to Uncle Wang's place for a few days. He said that he has found all the things and asked me to bring you a message."
"Okay, thanks, but..." Su Qingyun looked at him, "Why do you go to the recycling station so often?" He was the one who brought her the words several times.
Ji Yue paused and said, "Just killing time. After all, there's nowhere to go in this town."
Su Qingyun nodded. That was true. There was a lack of entertainment options nowadays and nothing fun to do.
"Where... were you from before?" Su Qingyun asked after a moment of hesitation. Ji Yue's Mandarin was very standard, but his accent was obviously not that of a local, and his temperament did not seem like that of someone from a small town family. To be honest, she was a little curious.
Ji Yue didn't say anything. Just when Su Qingyun thought he wouldn't answer, two faint words came.
"The capital." His tone was as cold as if it contained a piece of ice.
Su Qingyun's writing hand suddenly stopped, leaving a long black line, his eyes filled with shock. Ji Yue came from the capital? Then how could he come to such a small place like Luoshui Town?
Due to the particularity of this era, Su Qingyun could figure out the reason without even thinking. Something must have happened to Ji Yue's family. No wonder he said those words last time in the library. It turned out that he himself was a victim implicated in this era.
