Zhu Qinghao sat for a while longer, and just as she was about to get restless and go out to look for someone, Si Tian finally appeared at the restaurant entrance.
Zhu Qinghao quickly stood up and waved to her.
"Sweetie, I'm here, come quick!"
"Okay, I'm here! Okay, have you been waiting for me for a long time? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be late."
I went to the post office to pick up my things, but my package was too big, so I had to find someone to help me take it to the tractor area and ask Brother Wang to watch it for me before I came over to have dinner with you.
Zhu Qinghao was initially just a little worried while waiting, but after hearing her explanation, she couldn't stay angry at all.
"It's okay, Sweetie. I didn't wait long. Let's order, or the waiter will be waiting for a long time."
Si Tian didn't understand the reason, but she hadn't eaten breakfast and was hungry now, so she simply started studying the menu with Zhu Qinghao.
Finally, the two of them ordered a braised pork slice, a stir-fried eggplant, potato, and green pepper dish, a cabbage and tofu soup, and two servings of rice.
As soon as they ordered, Si Tian rushed to pay for the meal because she felt bad that she had made Zhu Qinghao wait for so long.
Zhu Qinghao didn't argue with her. Anyway, the two lived so close, she would have plenty of opportunities to invite them back in the future.
She quite liked Si Tian. After spending a few days with her, she felt that Si Tian was quite sensible in all aspects. Moreover, since they lived close by, it would be essential for them to visit each other often in the future.
Although the waiters at this state-run restaurant weren't very good, the food was quite delicious. Overall, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian had a very pleasant lunch together.
When they left the restaurant after finishing their meal, both of them felt very full. In order not to waste food, they finished all the dishes, leaving only a little bit of the cabbage and tofu soup.
The tractor was supposed to leave for the village at 2 o'clock, but it was almost 1 o'clock by the time the two of them finished eating.
After discussing it, we realized there was nowhere else we needed to go, so we unanimously decided to go straight back and not do any more sightseeing.
Before going back, Si Tian bought Wang Weiguo a few steamed buns, saying she wanted to thank him for watching her package.
Zhu Qinghao didn't say anything about it because she agreed with this approach; at least it wouldn't make the people who helped feel like they had worked for nothing.
Back at the tractor, Si Tian managed to give away the steamed buns after much persuasion. Then, people from the team started coming over one after another, and in less than half an hour, everyone had returned.
The weather looked bad, so after confirming that everyone had returned, Wang Weiguo didn't wait any longer and drove the tractor back to the team.
Along the way, some unfamiliar older women in the group were very curious about what was filling the two women's baskets, but both baskets were covered tightly by pot lids, so they couldn't see anything.
"Hey, look at these two big baskets! Two young educated youths, did you go on a big shopping trip? What did you buy?"
"Yeah, there's so much stuff, it must have cost a lot of money."
The aunties all seemed to be very outgoing, with warm smiles on their faces, but Zhu Qinghao and her friend were not so open. They were also unwilling to say everything to people they weren't that familiar with.
"Auntie, we just arrived and haven't bought anything for our home yet, so we just bought some things we need. It's nothing much, just pots, pans and such."
