Chapter 456 The Only Daughter of the Generation 5
Originally, Zhao's sister-in-law wanted to let several nephews from her natal family contact Su Tong and take him down at the same time. In this way, she could not only please her natal family, but also borrow some money from Su Tong's natal family, and use her own connections to find a temporary job.
But this damn girl had changed. She was not as easy to talk to as before and had an aggressive temper. She even took away her lifeline, which made her dare not act rashly.
But... why did that damn man want to find out about me? Could it be that he regretted it?
If Su Tong knew what Zhao's sister-in-law had in mind, he would probably laugh at her for being fanciful and thought he was just talking casually. He didn't expect that she would really take it to heart.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Su Tong returned to school to attend classes, but the school was still in a mess. The teachers were not in the mood to teach, and the students could not concentrate. So Su Tong simply went to the library to read, and rode his bike around to play when he was bored.
"Hey, Tongtong, Zhao Yang has gone to be an educated youth. What are you going to do in the future? Are you going to be an educated youth with him or go to work?"
Su Tong shook his head. "I'm not in the mood yet. I plan to take a break after graduation and then see what my parents will do."
The classmate said with envy, "I really envy you. You have so many choices. Even if you don't go out to work, your parents will still support you. But I can't do that. I have several brothers and sisters. If I don't find a class or go to the countryside, it will probably be their turn."
There were more than 40 students in the class, more than a dozen of them went to the countryside as educated youth, a few others had connections at home and went to work directly, and the rest had neither connections nor the desire to go to the countryside as educated youth, so they could only stay in school and see if there were any opportunities.
Su Tong looked at his friend's sad face, patted her on the shoulder, and rode his bike to the mountains to play with a few friends.
It was autumn now, and many fruits on the mountain were ripe, including some wild hawthorns. The largest hawthorn was only the size of a glass ball, and was red in color, tasting sour and sweet.
In addition to wild hawthorns, there are even some chestnuts, but most of the chestnut squirrels had been driven away by others, leaving only some that fell on the ground and no one wanted. Many of them had worm holes in them, and only some chestnuts in remote places had not been picked yet.
Su Tong was carrying a cloth bag, but they had picked a lot of chestnuts and wild fruits. When they were about to go back, they suddenly heard a noise not far away.
"Is it a hare?" One of the students showed a delighted expression, and then sighed, "Alas, hares are too smart. They will run away at the slightest movement. It is impossible to catch them."
It was true that he couldn't catch it, but he could shoot a hare. Su Tong took off the rubber band on his head, picked up a small stone on the ground, aimed at it, released it, and easily killed a hare, scaring the students next to him.
Since they were at the edge of the mountain, although there were some wild animals, these animals were smart and would run away immediately at the slightest movement. Even if Su Tong's hands were fast, there was no way to hit the target every time.
They ran all over the mountains and fields, and as it was almost night, they had only caught two rabbits and a pheasant. But there were five of them, so how should they divide these things?
Su Tong took away a pheasant in front of them, and then let them divide the rest among themselves. At worst, they could each take half. After all, he was the hero, and he could have taken everything. It was a sign of his loyalty that he was willing to share it with them.
The others also felt that the distribution was a bit unfair. Of course, this unfairness did not mean that they got less, but that all these things were caught by Su Tong. They just ran all over the mountains and helped to get things. After pushing and shoving, Su Tong still got a pheasant, but they also shared some of the chestnuts they picked with Su Tong.
The chestnut stewed chicken became more and more fragrant as it stewed. The people returned home with a full load, but for fear of arousing other people's suspicion, they ran to the river and cleaned the pheasants and rabbits. When they were about to go back, Su Tong discovered that there were actually fish in the river.
hey-hey……
Su Tong pretended to take out the bait from the space, then added some change water into it, bent the black hairpin, tied a string to it, put the bait on it, and threw it directly down.
The other students still didn't believe that the fish would take the bait, but things soon exceeded their expectations. The fish were too stupid and took the bait one after another. The largest fish was no bigger than the palm of a hand, but they caught dozens of them in total and each of them could get two or three.
Seeing that it was getting dark, the children did not dare to stay any longer. After collecting the fish, they divided them up and rode back on their bicycles.
When Su Tong passed by the place, he bought a piece of tofu and cut two taels of meat. However, this time he was luckier as most of the meat he cut was fat.
After returning home, Su Tong first refined the fat into lard, then scooped up the lard residue and put it in a bowl and added a little bit of salt, which made it smell crispy and fragrant.
I was reluctant to clean the oil in the pot, but added some more in, put the cleaned fish in, and fry it until both sides were golden brown. Finally, I poured in boiling water, cut the tofu into small pieces and put it in. After the water boiled, I added some pepper, and the aroma immediately came out.
The pheasant we brought back was cut into small pieces, cleaned and fried with lard first, then put into a pot and simmered on low heat, and then added with processed chestnuts. It was fragrant and glutinous, and the aroma could be smelled from ten miles away.
The aroma of fish soup and chicken soup soon spread throughout the alley. The elderly and adults could not help swallowing their saliva. The Zhao family’s children could not help themselves at all. They sat on the ground and cried, asking for meat.
Old man Zhao just sat aside, smoking his pipe in silence. Listening to the crying of the child, he could no longer bear it, "Old woman, fry some eggs tonight and give each of us a chopstick. It will be our first meal."
When the child heard this, he couldn't help but sniffle. Forget it, something to eat is better than nothing. Of course, it would be even better if he could eat chicken.
The children of the Zhao family looked at the Su family with envy, wondering why the Su family was so rich and why they could eat meat every day?
Su Tong had just finished cooking the fish soup and chicken soup when Su's father and his family came back. Smelling the fragrance in the air, Su's father's stomach began to growl.
"What's going on today? How did you make so many delicious foods?" Father Su washed his hands with a smile and prepared to eat.
"I was lucky today. When I went to the mountains with some friends, I happened to catch a pheasant. Then when I went to the river to deal with some things, I caught a few stupid fish." Su Tong said lightly.
"You are quite lucky. There is a leader in our unit who went fishing in the river in the countryside. He worked hard all day and caught a few fish the size of thumbs, which were not enough to fill his teeth." Father Su said with a smile, "During the famine, some people also wanted to catch pheasants in the mountains, but pheasants were smarter than people at that time and ran very fast. They disappeared in a flash and there was no trace of them. I didn't expect you to catch them. My daughter is really lucky."
