Zhang Qingshan asked Qingnian to go home, as he wanted to stay for a few days. The Lian Family had never raised large livestock, and of course, Shouxin was a novice in this regard. Zhang Qingshan's stay was partly to see that they had a lot of work to do, wanting to help his daughter and son-in-law with the chores, and partly to teach Shouxin how to raise cattle.
Shouxin certainly understood Zhang Qingshan's kindness and was very touched in his heart.
Lady Zhang took a basket, wrapped a few cakes in cloth for Qingnian to eat on the way, and included a jar of fermented rice for him to take back to Lady Li and the children. Ever since they made a jar of fermented rice during the New Year, the whole family loved it, so they bought some glutinous rice and brewed two more jars.
