It wasn't time to knock off work yet, and He Tiantian still had to stay here a little longer.
The meeting had ended, and Aunt Liu hadn't come back. Given Aunt Liu's personality, she usually wouldn't return to the livestock team and would go straight home when the workday ended anyway. With Tiantian and Old Man Qi around, there wouldn't be any problems.
Yesterday, He Tiantian had taken leave, and Aunt Liu had been busy all by herself, so today He Tiantian ought to work a bit more. It was good that Aunt Liu wouldn't be coming; she wouldn't need to explain the origin of the wild chicken, nor would she have to share it with Aunt Liu.
Professor Gu and Professor Wang sat despondently on the dry straw inside the thatched-hut, deeply sorrowful. Every meeting was a trampling of their dignity.
Fortunately, they hadn't been injured this time, which was a stroke of luck.
He Tiantian, holding a basin, brought out two basins of water and placed them at the doorstep for their washing needs.
