After an hour-long lunch break, everyone returned to work. While they weren't paid, the meals were provided, and they could eat their fill. This also helped ease their family's financial burden a little.
They worked until five o'clock in the afternoon. When the sun was setting in the western horizon, the house and fence were finally repaired, and the land was plowed.
Seeing that only the front and backyard still needed planting, Wei Zhiying said, "Everyone, thank you for helping my family today."
She took out a basket and handed out packages wrapped in oil paper to everyone while adding, "These are just some snacks to thank you all. Please don't refuse."
Holding the gifts, everyone was happy. One of them said, "Sister-in-law, we will be living in the same village from now on, so you don't need to be too polite with us. If your family needs help in the future, just let us know."
Hearing this, Wei Zhiying replied, "Thank you, everyone. I won't be polite then."
