When Mei Na saw Gong Tao and the others returning, she gave him a disapproving look but still stepped in to help carry things.

"Don't worry, just a little more, and we've come this far, might as well finish it," Gong Tao murmured quietly.
Even though he had to heed his friend's advice, Gong Tao wasn't focused solely on teaching his daughter a lesson.
Since he saw that both kids had nearly completed their chores, he decided they should persist a bit longer.
"Don't worry, Mei Na, they'll wrap up soon, and when they see the good food, they'll definitely be happy," Zhao Gang placed items on a cabinet inside the house.
Zhao Gang didn't particularly like the grain distributed by the village, as the best quality was always given up to the national treasury.
