During the casual conversation, Zhu Qinghao learned that Li Fanghua was actually Li Shengnan's distant niece, and they had both married into this area from the same place.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, completely ignoring the pale and flushed faces of Huang Ying and the others.
When the other educated youth who wanted to buy grain arrived, the brigade leader and accountant, who had been called away by Tian Haiying under some pretext, came out and began to arrange for them to borrow or sell grain.
Zhu Qinghao and her husband, with the help of Tian Haiying and her son, transported the grain home.
Before leaving, I did hear those people stammering as they asked to borrow grain, and the accountant sighing helplessly.
Si Tian, however, was not so well-behaved. Before leaving, she went over to Huang Ying and the others and wandered around for a while.
"Tsk, I should thank you guys. If it weren't for you, how could Hao Hao and I have seen such a wonderful scene? When are you going to return the money you borrowed this time?"
"Don't even think about not paying it back! Everyone's watching. If you really don't have money, try your best to earn work points. What kind of situation is it to have famine every year? Right, Zhou, Huang, and Wang?"
None of the three paid any attention to her, but she wasn't angry at all. She smiled and ran back to find Zhu Qing.
"Hehe, okay, they're ignoring me."
If she had just come back and left quietly, that would have been fine. But she had to say something like that, which made Tian Haiying and her son and daughter-in-law burst out laughing.
"...Hahahahahahahaha..."
After Tian Haiying and the others helped transport the grain back home, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian each stuffed some candy and dried fruit into their hands before letting them go home.
After seeing the person off, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian went home. Si Tian was unaware of the situation, but Zhu Qinghao started working as soon as she got home.
She plans to go to the cowshed tonight to see how much grain they received, and then deliver all the grain she bought today to them.
The Zhu family members arrived not much earlier than Zhu Qing, so they shouldn't have received any grain either.
But she seemed to have overheard Aunt Haiying mention that they would receive some, and if that wasn't enough, they could be lent some, which would be deducted from their work points the following year.
Zhu Qinghao didn't know how much they received, or whether they had borrowed any money. She couldn't feel at ease unless she went to see for herself.
Since we're going anyway, we might as well make them some good food and take it with us, so it won't be inconvenient for them to cook there.
If there's one thing she's most satisfied with about the cowshed right now, it's that only the Zhu family lives there, so she doesn't have to be so careful all the time when doing many things.
She had heard Zhu Yanzhi mention this before; originally, there was another family with them, and they were supposed to live together separately.
However, both families had a lot of people, and there was limited space in the cowshed, so the other family was assigned to the next brigade.
Otherwise, I would have to be even more careful when delivering things to them, since living under the same roof makes it really hard to avoid being discovered.
Fortunately, that family didn't come, and Grandpa Ma and his wife were easy to get along with. Now, she only needed to make sure that no one in the village saw her when she went in and out of the cowshed, which saved her a lot of trouble.
While thinking, Zhu Qinghao steamed a large pot of rice. While steaming the rice, she also learned from Sheng Yi's method and steamed a large basin of eggs.
To keep the food hot so they wouldn't have to go through the trouble of reheating it, she put it into her space as soon as she took it out of the pot.
