"Uncle, have you made breakfast yet? Here are two eggs for you and Auntie."
"Hey, take this and eat it. Your aunt is already making breakfast, you can eat with her."
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony, I'll go help too."
Su Tian hurried to the kitchen and saw her aunt cooking rice porridge, with chopped dried radish pieces next to her.
Su Tian rolled up her sleeves and said, "Auntie, let me help you start the fire." Her aunt smiled and nodded.
"Are these dried radish chunks for stir-frying with eggs?"
Fang Rong was momentarily speechless when Su Tian asked this question, "You can stir-fry dried radish with eggs?"
"Sure, scrambled eggs are delicious. Chop the dried radish into smaller pieces and stir-fry it."
"I see. Then I'll have to give it a try later."
The two of them helped each other in the kitchen, and breakfast was quickly prepared.
After Su Tian and the others finished eating, she rushed off to school for class.
"Su Tian, over here."
"Chunling, haven't you gone to school yet?"
"No, I just finished feeding my little girl breakfast and came right over."
"What about Liu Jianfeng? Can't he do it?"
"He went to do laundry. He has to go to work later after he finishes washing the clothes."
"Is your little girl staying at Aunt Li's house again?"
"Yes, she wants to play with Little Pidan from Aunt Li's house, so she can only leave him with her and ask her to look after him."
"Hurry up, class is about to start!"
"We'll be there soon," Su Tian said with a smile.
Time passed quickly, and the next day at noon, when Su Tian was walking on the road after class, she heard them chatting happily.
"Hey, there's Su Zhiqing over there."
A group of people quickly walked up to Su Tian and said excitedly, "Su Tian, thank you so much for your family for securing the opportunity to install telephones in our village."
"Aunt Li, the installers have arrived?"
"They've arrived. They came around 8 or 9 o'clock and started installing the telephones. Our village is the only one in this area that has telephones installed."
"In the future, when I go back to my parents' home to visit, I can brag about this for a long time."
"Haha... yeah, when I go back to my parents' home, I'll have to brag about our village too."
"Thanks to the captain for telling us that your dad helped get someone to apply for the installation. The efficiency of this process is really high."
The captain also said, "They only said it was fake yesterday, and they sent people over today."
“Yes, Su Zhiqing, your father is a man who will do great things.”
"Thank you for your compliments. When I go home, I will tell him that you were all praising him."
Seeing so many people crowding around Su Tian, Ma Dazui quickly squeezed in.
“Su Zhiqing, there’s no need to go home and tell your dad. I heard from the workers who installed the equipment that we should test the call function after it’s installed.”
Why don't you try it? Do you have a telephone at home?
"Yes, if the captain calls me, I'll give it a try."
It's still early; it will take at least half a month or a month to get it installed.
Ma Dazui asked in surprise, "So long?"
"Yes, some still need several months or even half a year."
"Wow, I thought it would be done in a day." Ma Dazui sighed regretfully.
"Aunt Ma, this telephone line needs to be run from the post office to our place."
"We also need to install utility poles and run telephone lines along the way; it's quite a large project."
After hearing Su Tian's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
So they started talking about it again.
Upon seeing this, Su Tian quickly said, "Dear aunts and uncles, I'll go back and cook now. Let's chat again next time."
"Okay, go back now."
Su Tian left immediately; the villagers were too enthusiastic, and she couldn't handle it.
As they watched Su Tian walk away, they all envied her for having such a good family background.
When Su Tian returned to the educated youth settlement, it was no longer as lively as before.
Some returned to the city, some got married and moved out of the educated youth settlement, and even Lu Xiao returned to the city in October.
"Su Tian, you're back."
"Yes, Xiaolan, it's your turn to cook today?"
"Yes, it's my turn to cook with Lin Miao today. There's something I want to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Could I borrow your bicycle this afternoon? I need to pick up a package."
Su Tian looked at Xiao Lan, who seemed a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Sure, did Zhou Man send you another package?"
"Hehe, yeah."
"Here's the key. Take it."
"Okay, thank you."
"Yes, you're welcome."
Su Tian opened the door, put her things down, and then carried her basket up the mountain.
She has no classes on Friday afternoons, so she can go up the mountain to try her luck.
At this point, the only way to find prey is to venture deep into the mountains.
As she continued walking in, she suddenly noticed a furtive figure.
Su Tian cautiously moved closer before she could see who the person was.
She quietly followed the man, watching him walk cautiously with a bag in his hand, wondering what he was planning to do in the mountains.
Xu Wen, who was ahead, would look left and right from time to time, and occasionally look back. Only when he was sure that no one was around would he feel at ease and continue walking forward.
Seeing his cautious demeanor, Su Tian couldn't help but wonder what could possibly make him so careful.
We've all lived together at the educated youth settlement for so many years. He's hardworking and never absent from work, and he's always had a good reputation in the village.
Su Tian really couldn't figure out what he was doing in the mountains. After walking for another thirty minutes or so, Xu Wen arrived at the edge of the cliff and took out a long rope from his bag.
