But she was too embarrassed to accept it: "Zhenhua, I can't accept it. Meat is too expensive; it's something that money can't buy. You should take it back and eat it yourself."
Mr. Luo went straight in, found one of Grandma Zhang's bowls, and poured the meat into it.
“Auntie, you told us not to be polite to you before, but now you’re being polite to us. We’re in the same boat and we’re neighbors. If you keep being polite to me, I’ll get angry.”
Grandma Zhang felt genuinely touched and nodded, "Thank you."
"Auntie, you're being too polite with me again." Mr. Luo said with a smile, "From now on, we're family, so there's no need for anyone to thank anyone else."
"good."
After Mr. Luo returned home, they began to eat.
Mr. Luo first put a piece of meat on his daughter's and wife's plates, saying, "Eat up."
Mother Luo said, "Let's leave some for Xiaotian too."
"No need," Luo Jingyan said. "We still have meat where we are. I can cook it for him when I get back. My cooking skills are almost as good as Dad's now. Xiaotian really likes my cooking."
"Alright then."
Luo Jingyan took a bite of the braised pork made by her father, and it was indeed almost as good as she had imagined, nearly comparable to the skills of a professional chef.
Among amateur chefs, perhaps only those with a soul-deep love for food can create such delicious dishes.
After dinner, Luo Jingyan wanted to help her father clear the dishes, but her father refused.
"You go and keep your mother company, I'll take care of things."
Mr. Luo is a good family man. When he is at home, he often insists on doing housework and tries his best not to let his wife and daughter do it.
Half an hour later, Luo Jingyan finally left the cowshed.
When she returned to the educated youth settlement, she saw that the other educated youth were stewing meat, but there was not much aroma of stewing meat in the educated youth courtyard. Several educated youths were gathered around the stove, perhaps wanting to eat the meat as soon as possible, or perhaps afraid that the person stewing the meat would steal some of the meat from the pot.
Zhuang Feifei sat to one side, leisurely munching on sunflower seeds, seemingly unconcerned about eating meat.
That makes sense; the female protagonist has a lot of meat and cooked food stored in her space, so it's no wonder she wouldn't even look at that little bit of wild boar meat.
She went back into the house, took out a piece of food from her spatial storage, stewed it, gave some to Black Tiger, and saved the rest for Luo Changtian to eat when he returned.
Black Tiger hadn't seen Fat Tiger for several days, and it told Luo Jingyan about it.
"Master, do you think Gian has encountered some difficulties or something happened? Why hasn't it come out to look for me? I haven't seen it for so long."
Luo Jingyan also couldn't understand: "If Panghu isn't in danger of getting sick, there are probably two reasons why it won't come out. One is that it doesn't want to come out, and the other is that it wants to come out but can't."
Upon hearing the second reason, Black Tiger couldn't help but worry for Fat Tiger.
"Master, I don't think Fat Tiger is in danger of getting sick. It's very strong; ordinary weapons can't hurt it, poison doesn't work on it, and ordinary humans can't harm it either. But what if that woman won't let Fat Tiger out of the space? I hope that's not the case. Maybe I'll be able to see it again soon." It comforted itself like this.
Luo Jingyan had no way to check on Pang Hu's current situation. She could neither confirm the female lead's existence of a spatial dimension nor enter it. She could only comfort Black Tiger: "Let's wait and see. Hopefully, Pang Hu will be out soon."
"Hmm." Black Tiger thought for a moment, then said to Luo Jingyan in a pleading tone, "Master, if Fatty Tiger can come out again, could you let it try to enter your space?"
"Can."
Perhaps because of this incident, Luo Jingyan was very worried about Pang Hu. She didn't want Pang Hu to be tormented by Zhuang Feifei, so she readily agreed.
"That's great, Master. Fat Tiger will be grateful to you too." Black Tiger was very happy.
Once Fat Tiger is in its owner's space, they can play happily together again, just like they did on Cat Planet.
Zhuang Feifei has found an opportunity to get in touch with Lu Chengye, but Lu Chengye is a slow-to-warm-up type, so she can't pursue him too closely.
She still needs to check on the people in the cowshed.
She walked outside the cowshed, took out two small bags of grain from her storage space, and went to Mr. and Mrs. Luo's house first. She greeted them with a smile, "Uncle, Aunt. How are you?"
Mr. and Mrs. Luo knew what kind of person she was and didn't want to welcome her, but they didn't show it too obviously so as not to arouse her suspicion.
Mother Luo asked, "Young educated youth, is there something you need?"
Zhuang Feifei handed them one of the bags of grain: "Uncle, Aunt, I know you are having a hard time, and I want to do my best to help you. Please accept this grain."
"We don't want it," Mr. and Mrs. Luo said in unison.
Mr. Luo said, "We really don't lack food. We can eat coarse grains and cornbread. We are very clear about our identity and really don't want to have any contact with you."
"Uncle and Aunt, you really don't need to be so polite with me."
“We’re not being polite; we really don’t need it. If the higher-ups find out we’re eating well, they might start to suspect us. If you’re looking out for us, take the food and don’t come here again.”
Zhuang Feifei was at a loss for what to do. Were the couple just being polite to her, or were they really afraid to accept the money?
“Auntie, you’re being too polite. I came here to the countryside all alone. When I see you all, I’m reminded of my parents. I want to get along with you like family. Are you looking down on me, that’s why you won’t accept my food?”
She spoke with such sincerity and compassion that it seemed impossible to refuse her.
