Zhao Tiezhu had no idea that his suggestion had been misinterpreted by Qin Peiyao as a sign of anger being directed at her. He drove the tractor to the nearest gas station, using the farm equipment’s purchase log to buy gasoline in barrels.

He explained his situation to the attendant, bought two hundred liters of fuel, and filled the tractor's tank to the brim. It cost him twelve hundred yuan in total. The rain, which had been falling for over two hours, suddenly tapered off into a light drizzle. Wearing his raincoat, he drove slowly along the roadside toward home. By the time he reached the Bird and Flower Market, the rain had stopped completely.
