Tian Haiying was puzzled. She looked at her and then at Zhu Qinghao, and then suddenly realized.

"Oh, well, don't bother with those shallow-minded people. Food is just food, isn't it?"

"We have the means to make our food taste better, so why do we insist on making it like pig swill, just like them?"

Tian Haiying thought the two of them had been criticized by some sickly old women in the village, so she quickly offered words of comfort.

Those old women, let alone these two, even Tian Haiying found them hard to stand.

To save on soap, clothes and baths can be skipped; to save on firewood, meals don't need to be cooked separately or with oil and salt...

Tian Haiying witnessed it with her own eyes once, and she really couldn't understand it.

You said your family isn't in such dire straits, so why make life like this?

Only after asking did I learn that it was all so that my savings could surpass those of most people in the team, so that I could finally hold my head high.

To be honest, Tian Haiying couldn't agree with this kind of triumphant attitude, but she couldn't very well say anything negative about it.

However, since they had all come to Si Tian and her friend to make sarcastic remarks, she naturally couldn't be bothered to hide her disapproval.

However, Tian Haiying misunderstood them this time, because Si Tian hadn't had a chance to meet them yet.

Si Tian said this because she had read novels in the past. In those novels set in historical fiction, her behavior would make even a passing dog criticize her for not knowing how to manage a household.

She just didn't expect that Tian Haiying didn't have such thoughts at all, which made her have a better impression of Tian Haiying.

However, because Tian Haiying had piqued her interest so much beforehand, she had no interest in gossiping about this matter and was eagerly waiting for Tian Haiying to tell her the big news.

"Auntie, forget about them for now, please tell us what happened!"

Tian Haiying was lost in her own thoughts when Si Tian abruptly pulled her out of them.

However, she was just there to gossip, so she was open to talking about anything. Then she enthusiastically told the two of them what had happened at the educated youth settlement at night.

Upon hearing this, both of them found it somewhat unbelievable.

Especially Chen Hui, who inexplicably helped the educated youth settlement catch a thief without even realizing it, and ended up causing such a big commotion...

Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian exchanged a glance, each reading their own thoughts from the other's eyes.

Fortunately, the two of them did not live in the educated youth settlement.

Not only them, but Tian Haiying also thought so.

"If you ask me, it's a good thing you two didn't stay at that educated youth settlement. That place was so chaotic and noisy, it would have ruined perfectly good people."

Si Tian put on an expression of deep agreement and quickly nodded at her.

“Well, Auntie, we’re so glad we didn’t live there. Otherwise, with all the trouble happening every few days, it would be so difficult to deal with.”

Zhu Qinghao didn't say anything, but she agreed with Si Tian's statement. Putting everything else aside, there would definitely be far fewer troubles.

Tian Haiying briefly explained the situation, and seeing that it was getting brighter, she got up to say goodbye.

"Okay, it's getting bright now, I need to go back and cook so that there will be something to eat if your team leader uncle comes back later."

Even if he doesn't come back, the children at home must be hungry. I'll come and talk to you again next time!

Since the other family had important matters to attend to, Si Tian couldn't very well stop them. She could only reluctantly get up to see them off, and before Tian Haiying left, she gave her two more small cakes.

"Take this back for the children to eat. I'm afraid there won't be enough to go around, so please don't keep passing it around, Auntie. It's getting late, hurry back."

So, Tian Haiying, carrying the things, was "violently" pushed out of the courtyard gate by Si Tian. Looking back at Si Tian, ​​who was looking smug in the courtyard, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
