Tian Haiying really wanted to invite the two of them to her home for a meal, but she hadn't slaughtered the pig yet and was a little worried about what to serve them. She just didn't expect the two of them to refuse so strongly.
After her repeated invitations were rejected, Tian Haiying gave up and stopped insisting that they come to eat. Instead, she planned to bring them some next time her family cooked at home.
After finishing her work, Tian Haiying gave the two of them some instructions, and seeing that it was almost lunchtime, she said goodbye and went home.
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian didn't stop her, but before she left, they each gave her a handful of candy so she could take it back to her grandchildren.
Tian Haiying tried to refuse for a while, but in the end she couldn't resist the two of them and had to leave with the candy.
After she left, Si Tian couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh, well, what's wrong with this era? You sincerely want to give someone something, but they still try to pass it around."
Hearing her question, Zhu Qinghao smiled and then gently explained to her.
"They're probably afraid that if they accept your favor, they won't be able to repay it in kind later. After all, everyone's having a tough time."
Si Tian nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
Indeed, she had only known that people in this era lived a hard life, but this was her first time experiencing it firsthand, and the more she thought about it, the heavier her heart felt.
Zhu Qinghao originally just wanted to answer her question, but she didn't expect to make the child so quiet.
She stared blankly at Si Tian, who seemed lost in thought, so she reached out and waved her hand in front of her face.
"What are you thinking about, Sweetie? Didn't you always say things would get better? Maybe things won't be like this when everyone is well-off and doesn't have to worry about owing favors anymore."
Si Tian was quick to lose focus, but also quick to come back to her senses. After hearing Zhu Qinghao's words, she smiled and wholeheartedly agreed.
Yes, no one knows better than her that things will definitely get better in the future. Isn't the current situation just another characteristic of this era?
"Yes, that's right, things will definitely get better. Once everyone no longer lacks food and clothing, they won't keep refusing to accept gifts anymore, and..."
Hearing that Si Tian had figured it out, Zhu Qinghao was relieved. Thinking of the wonderful future Si Tian had mentioned, she also indulged in a moment of hopeful daydreaming.
After sitting there in a daze for a while, the two of them got up in tacit understanding and went to do the remaining cleanup work, such as dealing with the rotten vegetable leaves that had been peeled off.
Zhu Qinghao didn't waste the vegetable leaves she peeled off; she took them directly into her space to feed the rabbits.
After getting to know her for a while, Zhu Qinghao seems to have gradually figured out the issue of time speed in the space; time inside is about four times that outside.
The rabbits in the space have grown quite large and have given birth to a litter of babies. It looks like the meat supply will soon be plentiful, so Zhu Qinghao is happy to put in extra effort and occasionally feed them some vegetable leaves that are not needed outside.
Besides the rabbits, the chickens and ducks have also grown a lot, and we've already harvested two eggs a couple of days ago. The piglets are also getting fatter and stronger every day.
The grains planted in the fields are almost ready for harvest, and as for vegetables, which have a short growth cycle, they have already been harvested several times.
