After discussing it, the two decided to follow the team's custom and each give two cents.
However, Zhu Pandi was unaware of their plans. The next evening, when he saw them from afar, he was so excited that he almost jumped up, overjoyed to receive his gift.
When they saw that the two cents they took out were the same as those of the other educated youth, they almost couldn't keep their smiles.
After the two of them went inside, she tugged at Shi Qiang's sleeve and said with a pitiful expression:
"Brother Qiang, do you think those two look down on us? Everyone in the whole brigade knows that they are rich and generous."
But when they came to us, they treated us like beggars, giving us only two cents. How shameless of them!
Shi Qiang was surprised that these two didn't even bother to act. He had thought that, given their usual generous nature, they would be too embarrassed to give too little.
To my surprise, they weren't embarrassed at all.
"Alright, alright, you're here now, so stop talking. If someone hears us, we'll all be embarrassed."
Thinking it was their wedding banquet, Zhu Pandi didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and followed Shi Qiang's advice to keep quiet.
They were still complaining about how little others had given, but when the banquet started, Si Tian suddenly realized that she had given too much, even two cents.
These two are really frugal. They held a wedding banquet, invited the team leaders and everyone in the educated youth settlement, but they didn't give away a single piece of meat.
There were six dishes cobbled together on the table, but the only one that could be considered meat was a stir-fried egg with scallions, with bits and pieces of egg visible in it.
In addition, the mountain produce picked up on the mountain counts as a dish, along with a bowl of cabbage, a bowl of radish, a bowl of wild vegetable dumplings, and a potato.
"Good, good, look how thrifty they are. They give each person two cents, and they might even make a net profit of fifteen cents."
Si Tian's disdain was undisguised, and coupled with her sarcastic words, Zhu Qing couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's okay, if you don't like it, just eat less. We'll go back and cook you a nice meal later, how about that?"
Si Tian's eyes lit up when she heard the suggestion.
"Sure! But our cooking skills... it's a pity it's too late, otherwise I would have had your Dr. Sheng come over and show off his skills."
Sheng Yi didn't come today because Zhu Qinghao told him in advance that she was going to have dinner at the educated youth settlement.
What Si Tian said was also what Zhu Qinghao herself thought. After all, their cooking skills were only at the level of being edible, and they really couldn't be said to be delicious.
Especially since Sheng Yi came back, he has been cooking for her almost every day, causing her cooking skills to regress by who knows how much.
"How about we buy some nice things tomorrow and have him cook tonight?"
Si Tian was so excited that she almost forgot to hide it, and waved her little hand:
"No need, no need, I have plenty!"
When she met Zhu Qinghao's gaze, she realized what was happening and quickly tried to make amends.
"Haha, what I mean is, someone just delivered a lot of stuff to me this afternoon. It would be a waste if I cooked it myself, so why don't you have your partner cook it so we can eat together?"
Zhu Qinghao smiled but remained silent, then nodded.
"Okay, how much did you pay for it? Let's split the cost later, it's not good to let you suffer a loss all by yourself."
Si Tian didn't like having to be so particular about her friends, so she refused on the spot.
"Oh, no need. How much can a little bit of food cost? Don't be so particular with me. You can just call me when you want something nice to eat later."
Zhu Qinghao could tell that she really didn't want to make such a clear distinction, and she didn't insist on it, so she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then bring the food over early tomorrow morning? We can discuss what we want to eat then."
