After the water boiled, Su Tian poured it into the basin and quickly plucked the feathers. Twenty minutes later, the pheasant was cleaned.
Then she chopped the chicken into pieces, threw it into a pot and started stewing it, while the old man tended a fire on the side.
Su Tian went outside, quickly took out some medicinal herbs from her spatial storage, washed them, and threw them into the chicken soup to stew.
After finishing her work, Su Tian squatted down and whispered, "You're Chen Tingjing, aren't you?"
The old man was taken aback, his heart skipped a beat, how did this Su educated youth know his name?
Seeing the old man's expression, Su Tian chuckled softly, "Don't be afraid, sir. My dad asked me to come find you. I just received his letter a couple of days ago."
"Who is your father?" the old man asked, puzzled.
“My dad is Su Jianjun. He was a secretary to the governor. He said you were his old superior.”
"You're the Su family girl? I used to hold you when you were little, I can't believe you've grown up so much I don't recognize you," the old man said with a smile.
"Heh, it's normal that you won't recognize me when you grow up. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you."
“We don’t need your care. It’s not safe here. Don’t come to the cowshed.”
"It's okay, I'll be careful. I can always come in the middle of the night."
You and your aunt should take good care of yourselves. The people in this village are quite kind; one day you will be exonerated and able to return to the city.
"Heh, my husband and I will take good care of ourselves. We've been here for over two years. Although it's been tough, the villagers haven't tormented us or criticized us much."
And when someone comes to inspect, they only assign me to carry manure; once they leave, I can go back to herding cattle.
"The village officials are good people, and most of the villagers they lead are good people."
Su Tian glanced at the chicken soup and then at her watch; it had been simmering for half an hour.
Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to go home.
"Grandpa, you can boil the soup again tomorrow. It's past midnight, it's a bit late."
It's hot, and there's no refrigerator, so I can only kill the animal, stew it, and drink it the next day.
"Then be careful and walk cautiously."
"Okay, goodbye." With that, Su Tian's figure disappeared into the night.
Su Tian turned on her flashlight, ran quickly back to the educated youth settlement, looked around, and then jumped back into the settlement.
He quietly opened the door, went inside, and lay down.
I slept well all night.
Su Tian got up early. She had class this morning, so she hurriedly took out two steamed buns from her space and ate them with malted milk powder to fill her stomach.
They went to school together with Ma Chunling. After several days of classes, the two of them gradually adapted to life as teachers.
The newly arrived educated youth can rest for a day without having to work, while the other educated youth went to work early. Their job was to pull and pick peanuts.
"Zhang Shang, do you want to go to town to buy something?" Lu Xiao asked him.
"Yes, I saw a bicycle in the corner of the room where that educated youth Su lived. Do you want to borrow it for a ride?"
"Okay, I'll go ask." Lu Xiao said, turning around to knock on the door, but no one answered.
Upon closer inspection, the door was locked.
She went to work? So early, it's only 7:30.
“She’s gone to work, and the door is locked. Maybe we should just walk there. I don’t even know if there are any oxcarts around at this hour,” Lu Xiao said.
"Okay, let's walk then."
As they walked into the village, an old woman saw them and asked, "Are you new educated youth?"
“Yes, I just arrived yesterday,” Lu Xiao replied.
"So where are you two going?"
“We were planning to walk to town to buy some things, but we don’t have bicycles, and the oxcarts might not be available.”
“Hey young man, doesn’t Su, the educated youth at your settlement, have a car? Ask her to borrow it. She teaches at the brigade’s primary school. Just walk straight along this road until you reach the end, and that’s the primary school.”
"Isn't she at work? Why is she teaching? Thank you, ma'am, we'll go to the elementary school to find her now."
Following the old woman's instructions, the two of them walked for ten minutes and arrived at the school gate.
The children at the school were doing their morning exercises. Su Tian stood behind the students, quietly watching them.
Lu Xiao was very excited to see this. He thought Su Tian was amazing. She could hunt wild boars and became a teacher. She was incredible.
He shouted excitedly, "Su Tian, over here, at the main gate!"
When Su Tian heard Lu Xiao's voice, she wondered why he was at school looking for her so early.
"Did you need something from me?"
"Oh, yes, we have something to ask you to borrow your bicycle. We're going to town to buy some things."
"Okay." Su Tian took out her bicycle keys from her pocket and handed them to Lu Xiao.
"Hurry up, the sun will get really strong if we go any later. Remember to buy a straw hat, it'll be very sunny at work."
There were also water bottles and gloves.
"Thanks, I didn't even think of buying these if you hadn't mentioned it."
They took Su Tian's key and strode back to the educated youth settlement. Su Tian watched their departing figures and then went off to teach her class. The children had already finished their morning exercises.
"When did you become so familiar with this Su educated youth? Didn't you just arrive in the countryside a day ago?"
"What you're saying is true. A charming young man like me, loved by everyone, would become very familiar with someone even after just one minute of meeting them."
Besides, she and I were comrades-in-arms who had faced death together, haha.
"He died in just one day?" Zhang Shang was very curious.
He was originally a cold and taciturn person, but because of Lu Xiao's presence, he became a little more talkative than before.
Lu Xiao looked around and whispered in his ear about hunting wild boars.
He said proudly, "Isn't that amazing?" Ha...
