"Well, I'm not too busy. I just want to come back more often."

"Okay, then watch TV with me after dinner tonight and I'll tell you some stories. It was so much fun going to the countryside back then, and there were lots of ghost stories."

They both responded: “……!!”

Tong Yao was busy cooking in the kitchen and had no time to pay attention to her circle of friends. She didn't know how many people were @ing her and asking her questions non-stop.

After I was done, I stood aside and watched them eat.

Mrs. Fu beckoned, "Little boy, come and eat with us. After we finish eating, we'll watch TV together. Otherwise, I'll have to wait for you after I finish eating, which will waste time."

"...That's not very appropriate. I actually eat very quickly. Grandma Fu, you guys finish your meal, and it won't take more than two minutes for me to finish two bites."

"No, that won't work. Young people just don't pay attention to this. You have to eat slowly and methodically. Eating too fast will hurt your stomach. You don't feel anything now, but you will feel uncomfortable when you get older."

Fu Yuan glanced at her and said, "Since grandma said so, you should sit down and eat with us."

Tong Yao thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I understand, Mr. Fu."

Twenty minutes later, the three of them finished eating and cleaning up, and the old lady was handed over to someone else. Tong Yao accompanied her to another room, which was a place dedicated to showing TV series and movies.

Looking at the place that was more luxurious than a movie theater, Tong Yao blinked her eyes, not wanting to make herself look too stupid, and kept saying to herself that it was normal.

Rich people are like this. You can’t embarrass yourself. You can’t embarrass yourself.

Mrs. Fu sat on the massage chair and patted the seat next to her: "Come, both of you come and sit over here. Xiao Yuan, go sit next to Xiao Tong."

Fu Yuan: "...Oh, okay."

Soon the TV started playing. The old lady watched for a while and started to complain: "This is not realistic enough. It was not like that in our time. It's not realistic at all."

"Look, that sickle is wrong. The sickles we used to have were much smaller and harder to use. They were nothing like the ones we have now."

"Grandma, this is a TV show after all. Many of the people filming it didn't experience that era, so they can only look up information from the archives. It's hard to make them fit everything."

"Yeah, that would make it a documentary."

Tong Yao rarely watches period dramas, but after watching one now, she thinks they are quite good, but she feels that the stories are too miserable. Why was that era so miserable?

"Grandma Fu, life was really hard when you went to the countryside. You couldn't even afford white flour buns."

Grandma Fu sighed, "Yes, it was difficult. There was no other way. Everyone was poor at that time. Even those who had some money didn't dare to spend it. They would be reported."

"At that time, people admired the proletariat, so even if they had money, they had to spend it secretly. In addition, there was a real shortage of material goods, and few families could afford to eat white flour buns."

Tong Yao watched the TV and said, "Hmm, it turns out what the book says is true. I thought the teacher was just exaggerating when he said we were living a happy life now."

Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Haha, materially speaking, life is much better now than before, but every era has its own pressures."

"You have plenty of food now, but the problem is that the food you eat is not good. There are a lot of safety issues. The food you eat is full of various additives that are poisonous to your body."

"Although we were poor back then, everything we had was the most natural and good, and tasted better than it does now."

Tong Yao: ...This is a bit heartbreaking. I won’t be starving now, but toxins will accumulate in my body.

Mrs. Fu said softly, "So, the reason you young people are in such poor health right now is because you're not eating right? When you have money in the future, grow your own vegetables and raise chickens."

I looked at the old lady in a state of both laughter and tears. This plan was good, but to be able to do this in the city, one would need to have his own villa.

"Then I will work hard to make money and buy a house where I can farm as soon as possible."

The old lady was old and not in such good spirits. After watching for a while, she began to yawn and said, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to go back and rest. If you guys want to watch, continue."
