Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Now that the autumn harvest has just been completed, everyone is so tired that they are almost shedding a layer of skin, and there is not much fat in their stomachs. Although the taste of fish is average, it is still meat after all. Buying some tofu and stewing it can be considered a rare delicacy.

Su Tong cleaned the big fish he caught, twisted a few dried red peppers from the line, crushed some garlic, gritted his teeth, added two spoons of lard, and put in chopped green onion and ginger to stir-fry.

After the red oil comes out, add the soybean paste made in winter. When it is almost cooked, add a large pot of boiling water, then put the fish pieces in, simmer over low heat and wait for the aroma to come out.

The other female educated youth had no heart to continue reading, so they just sat on the side and watched quietly, sniffing the fish fragrance in the air from time to time. Their saliva was about to drop, and their eyes were even wide open.

If it wasn't for the fact that stewing the fish would take some time, Liu Qing would have taken out the bowl and chopsticks to eat the fish long ago, but everyone's eyes were fixed on the pot, not even blinking.

Su Tong cleaned the remaining small fish and shrimps, and then put them into the pot to boil together. No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat, and these small fish and shrimps can also fill the gaps between teeth.

When the fish was cooked, everyone couldn't wait any longer, but they still had a tacit understanding and gave the biggest piece of fish to Su Tong.

"Tongtong, you are amazing. I have been here for such a long time and haven't even seen a fish scale. You caught so many fish in one go. It's really amazing."

Su Tong lowered his head, "Maybe it's because of the busy farming season recently, so there are fewer children going fishing, so I got a good deal. Maybe I won't get such a good deal next time."

Yes, a fish that big, longer than your arm, is already very rare. It’s amazing to catch it once. How is it possible to catch it a second time?

There was a whole pot of fish, and the girls ate all of it without leaving any. However, this was also the most satisfying meal they had had here.

Although Su Tong exchanged fish for some food, it was still far from enough. However, if she caught fish frequently, it would easily arouse other people's suspicion, so she turned her attention to the mountains and forests in the distance.

If fish can do it, can animals do it?

Su Tong didn't dare to catch large animals, so he thought of a clever idea. He made some baits and put a few sleeping pills in them. The sleeping pills were quite expensive, and if they were all gone, then all his efforts would be in vain.

Fortunately, God was kind to me. Two pheasants and a rabbit ate the bait and became dizzy. If it were a large wild boar, the sleeping pills would not be enough to fill their teeth.

They sold two pheasants and a rabbit for a total of three dollars and forty cents. If they used all the money to buy food, it would be enough for them to survive the winter.

In addition to the fact that they did not have enough food, the male educated youth also did not have enough food. The girls ate less and could still fill their stomachs with other things, but the male educated youth ate more and were in the growing stage, so they were all starving and dizzy.

Summer is relatively good, at most it is just hot, but winter is the worst. Not only do they go hungry in winter, but they also have to endure the cold. There are so many girls, but there are only two or three thick quilts in total, so everyone huddles together in winter, especially after an autumn rain, the weather becomes colder and colder.

"Su Tong, where are your thick clothes? You can't just take advantage of your youth and not wear any thick clothes, right? It doesn't matter now, but you'll be prone to illness when you're old." One of the female educated youth couldn't stand it any longer, "If it doesn't work, I'll lend you some money. You can buy some cotton from your fellow villagers and stuff it into your old cotton-padded clothes. At least it can keep you warm."

Since coming to this damn world, Su Tong has not only experienced hunger, but also had to endure the cold, living worse than a dog.

"I'm fine." Although Su Tong said this, the hot air coming out of his mouth soon betrayed it. His little face was red from the cold, and even his hands had frostbite.

Su Tong did have a thick cotton-padded jacket, but it was so torn that it couldn't be worn any more. Seeing that he could no longer wear it, Su Tong gritted his teeth and spent one dollar to find someone to buy a few pounds of cotton, and spent a few cents on labor fees to have someone help him sew it.

In this way, they barely survived September, and finally October came. Everyone packed up their things and entered the examination room. During this period, everyone had been studying hard for this day.

Su Tong spent most of his time reviewing Chinese. On the day of the exam, he chose science. He took Chinese in the morning, physics and chemistry in the afternoon, and math the next day.

After the exam, many educated youth started crying because they knew the words on the paper but didn't understand what they meant. This shows that they had done really badly in the exam.

Liu Qing took the liberal arts exam, but it seemed like she did just average and she cried her eyes out.

"Although I took a lot of notes and filled in the papers, I know my abilities and I think..."

"If you don't have confidence in getting into university, then choose a technical secondary school. It's a school anyway, and you'll be guaranteed a job after graduation." Su Tong patted Liu Qing's shoulder and comforted him.

Liu Qing thought of her miserable grades, tears welled up in her eyes, "Technical secondary school is fine, anyway, as long as I can leave this damn place, that's better than anything else."

The college entrance examination results came out very quickly. After seeing the scores, some people cried and some were overjoyed.

Su Tong thought he would get a top spot or something, but his Chinese language score held him back. Fortunately, his scores in other subjects were very good, almost close to full marks. Although he did not get first place in the city, he was in the top ten.

"With your grades, you can definitely get into a good university, but where are you planning to go? Are you going back to your hometown, or..." Liu Qing and Su Tong were from the same place, and their homes were not far apart.

Liu Qing's grades were also good this time. Although she could not go to university, she was more than qualified to go to a technical secondary school, so she set her sights on the technical secondary school not far from her hometown.

Su Tong did want to go back, but he didn't plan to go to school there. Instead, he wanted to see what the original owner's parents were like.

"I don't want to go back. I'm going to apply for National Tsing Hua University."

Tsinghua University is not as magical as described by later generations. Although it is also a top university, it is at most a top university at the regional level.

"Ah? I thought you would apply to Shandong University. After all, your home is quite close to it." Liu Qing couldn't help but sigh, "I wanted to go to college in the same city as you, but it seems there is no hope."

Su Tong smiled faintly. She applied for economics, which was an easy subject for her. The next few decades would be a good time to develop the economy, and she had to take advantage of this favorable situation.

Only three or four of these female educated youth were admitted, and the rest failed. However, no one was too disappointed. If they failed this year, they could just try harder next year.

Su Tong kept the notebook he had copied and also took out some money and gave it to several girls who failed the exam.

"Don't refuse. We have already eaten up most of the food at home. If you don't have some money, you probably won't be able to survive for half a year." Su Tong was very grateful to them for helping him when he was in the most difficult time, otherwise he would have starved to death or frozen to death.
