That day, they had already heard about Su Niannian saving the child the day before.

At first, no one took it seriously, thinking it was just that the village gatekeepers were not well-educated and liked to exaggerate.

As it turns out, the value of this gift shows that Su Niannian truly saved a child's life.

The dim-witted Sun Siyuan actually thought that the other party had come to cause trouble for Su Niannian because of something about a bicycle.

Many educated youths were very envious, as all these things added together were quite a lot.

They also felt that Su Niannian was putting on an act. With so many things here, she wasn't tempted at all and even let others take them back.

But then I thought, Su Niannian has money to buy a bicycle, so these things might not really matter to her.

But even a small grasshopper leg is still meat, so why is Su Niannian so unmoved by these things?

Sigh, they all wanted to accept it for Su Niannian.

"Really, you don't need these things. You can take them back and eat them. Keep the chicken for Tiger, Auntie, and Uncle to help them recover." Su Niannian really didn't need these things.

Moreover, Su Niannian knew that although the Zhou family was doing alright, no family was truly wealthy in this era.

If these things are taken out, they will have to eat less and tighten their belts.

Su Niannian currently has nearly five thousand yuan on her, and after returning from her trip to the county town in three days, the amount of money will continue to increase.

Making money in this era is incredibly easy for Su Niannian.

Aunt Zhou realized that Su Niannian wasn't just being polite; she genuinely didn't want these things.

After thinking for a moment, he took the chicken from his son's hands.

“Young Su, our whole family is very grateful to you. Please keep the chicken for us, and we will take the rest back with us.”

“If you don’t want anything, we won’t feel comfortable either.” Aunt Zhou really thought so.

If Su Niannian doesn't accept any gifts as thanks, they will indeed feel uneasy.

Seeing that Aunt Zhou insisted, Su Niannian gave in.

"Then I'll thank you, Aunt Zhou. I'll accept the chicken, but you can take the rest back."

"Just live your lives well, don't worry too much about this. It was just a small thing I did. I believe that if someone else had a way to save Hu Zi, they wouldn't stand idly by." Su Niannian said earnestly.

Most people in that era were simple and kind, and she believed that if the onlookers had a way to help, they would have lent a helping hand.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou handed the cleaned chicken to Su Niannian, who accepted it.

"Although that's what Su Niannian said, our Zhou family will always remember this kindness." Aunt Zhou patted Su Niannian's hand, her eyes still full of gratitude.

“If Xiao Su, the educated youth, needs anything in Kaoshan Village or needs any work, just let me know. I will do what I can, and if I can’t, I will try my best to help you.” Zhou Daniu stood aside and nodded as he spoke.

“Yes, my Da Niu is right. If you need anything from us, just let us know. We… what’s that saying again?… We’ll give our lives for you!” Tiger’s mother chimed in.

"You're too kind," Su Niannian said with a smile and a wave of her hand.

After exchanging a few more words, the Zhou family took the rest of their belongings and went back.

Su Niannian handed the chicken in her hand to Song Zhaodi.

"This is too precious, you should eat it yourself." Song Zhaodi looked at the chicken in her hand; it was indeed very plump.

Song Zhaodi hadn't eaten chicken in a long time. Before, when she was at home, she had seen her family cook chicken during festivals.

But Song Zhaodi... couldn't even get a sip of chicken soup.

If her mother suddenly takes pity on her, Song Zhaodi might have a chance to eat some chicken feet or chicken hearts.

The chicken feet at that time were not like the boneless chicken feet or soaked chicken feet of later generations.

In this day and age, things like chicken feet and chicken hearts are like pig offal; hardly anyone eats them.

"Take it with you tomorrow, and I'll take you to get a free meal." Su Niannian smiled, planning to take the chicken and Song Zhaodi to Gu Nan's house tomorrow.

In this day and age, few people would eat at someone else's house, but Su Niannian didn't have any relatives here, nor did she have any relatives in her original county town.

In her previous life, Song Zhaodi had also helped Su Niannian, so in this life, Su Niannian also regarded Song Zhaodi as her best friend.

Therefore, Su Niannian felt there was no problem with taking Song Zhaodi to Gu Nan's house for dinner.

"Free food? Where are you going to free food?" Song Zhaodi naturally had no idea what Su Niannian was planning.

"Just wait for dinner tonight." Su Niannian smiled mysteriously.

The remaining educated youth still held a sliver of hope, thinking they could have some chicken soup to satisfy their cravings tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, the other person wanted to take the chicken out to eat, and I'm afraid I won't get a single bite.

Zhao Sulan, standing to the side, looked at Su Niannian with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

Su Niannian acted as if she hadn't seen it.

Seeing Zhao Sulan's reaction, Sun Siyuan gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence.

"Zhao Zhiqing, if you want to eat chicken, I'll go to the county town tomorrow and buy you one." A chicken costs two to three yuan, depending on its size.

This is no small amount of money.

After exchanging all his work points for grain, Sun Siyuan might not even have two or three yuan left.

To win over the girl, Sun Siyuan gritted his teeth and prepared to spend a fortune.

Zhao Sulan hadn't intended to pay any attention to Sun Siyuan, but her eyes lit up when she heard his words.

Upon arriving in Kaoshan Village, she hadn't yet had a decent meal, but now that she heard there was chicken to eat, she put aside much of what had just happened.

"Mmm," Zhao Sulan hummed softly.

Although Sun Siyuan had to spend a lot of money to buy chickens, he felt that Zhao Sulan should be closer to him now that she had eaten his chickens.

This money was well spent... at least that's what Sun Siyuan thought.

The other educated youths also gathered around to ask Su Niannian about the circumstances of her rescue, but Su Niannian felt it was nothing and was too lazy to explain it again.

He took out some melon seeds and fruit candies from his basket, distributed them to everyone, gave a few perfunctory replies, and then went to wash up.

The others also wanted to know the details, but Su Niannian was unwilling to talk about it, so they couldn't force her.

Especially since he had accepted the fruit candies and melon seeds from Su Niannian, he naturally didn't ask any questions.

Anyway, when we go to work tomorrow, many of the older women at the intelligence stations will continue their stories with great enthusiasm.

Song Zhaodi still left hot water for Su Niannian, who washed her face with the hot water and tidied herself up.

Su Niannian whispered to Song Zhaodi that she should go to Gu Nan's house for dinner after work the next evening.

Song Zhaodi's eyes widened like copper bells, as if she had heard something earth-shattering.

Su Niannian simply gave her a knowing look...

Song Zhaodi stood there, slowly processing Su Niannian's words and expressions.

Su Niannian, however, had already taken a basin, towels, and other things and gone back to her room.
