"Think it over carefully, discuss which company should build where, and once you've decided, just come find me."
"Okay, thank you, Captain!"
Seeing the joy on the faces of the group of young people, the captain couldn't help but smile and patted them on the shoulder.
"No need to thank me. Just live a good life from now on and strive to make your life better and better!"
Immediately afterwards, under the supervision of the brigade leader and his wife, and witnessed by everyone, the Zhou family divided up the remaining grain in their home.
As for the remaining portion of the new grain that hadn't been distributed in the team, it was also agreed that it would be divided into four equal parts, one for the Zhou family's elderly couple and one for their three sons.
Seeing that the family had finally been divided, Zhou's three daughters-in-law couldn't hold back their tears and hugged each other.
It was only after the aunties and older women around them gave them a good talking-to that they stopped crying and started happily planning how they would live their future lives.
But overall, the Zhou family members, especially the younger generation, seemed much more energetic than before.
Indeed, after all, from then on, life had something to look forward to.
Once the matter was resolved, the onlookers dispersed in twos and threes, and Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian also left in the crowd.
"Okay, okay, tell me, how can someone go to such lengths to save money? If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to stand it."
Zhu Qinghao listened quietly without offering any opinion, but she actually agreed with Si Tian's statement.
In order to be frugal, he even dragged his whole family into not eating properly for most of his life, which is really... hard to judge.
"Okay, okay, think about it. Isn't the reason why people live and strive all the time in order to live a better life?"
If my parents were like their family, I probably wouldn't have been able to stand it. Ugh, it's terrifying.
Zhu Qing chuckled and gently poked her forehead.
"Alright, these kinds of things are rare, and these kinds of people are also rare. They're not easy to encounter."
I think you're absolutely right. The reason people strive in life is to have a better life. If no matter how hard you try, life remains the same, then there's really no motivation.
"Yes, yes, I've thought about it before. It seems that we humans live just to live well, and there's no other meaning to it."
So on second thought, it seems that those people in later generations don't need to be so anxious. Just live well in the present; the future is bound to change in an instant, and who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Si Tian spoke very softly afterward, as if she were talking to herself, so Zhu Qinghao didn't respond, but just listened silently and nodded in agreement.
After walking for a while, Si Tian suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Okay, okay, did they mean the team is going to distribute rations again?"
Zhu Qinghao also noticed this, but she didn't understand it either. It seemed that the team had distributed food once before they arrived. Was there going to be a second distribution?
"That seems to be the idea, but it shouldn't concern us much, since we weren't involved in this year's autumn harvest."
However, if there really is another grain distribution, we can buy some grain to store.
"Yes, that's what I mean. We definitely won't get any, but we can buy some."
Si Tian doesn't actually lack food, but she needs a legitimate source of food, a source that is accessible to the villagers.
Zhu Qinghao also had this idea. She would be able to harvest the grain in her space in a while, but she would still need to buy some.
Otherwise, in the eyes of the villagers, the two of them might be regarded as monsters who drink air or dew.
