Actually, he wanted to go in and watch the soybean grinding.
Sister-in-law Mei Hua added a spoonful of soybeans into the stone mill's center, then took a scoop of water in one hand while pushing the mill handle with the other, slowly pouring water into the mill's mouth.
"In the future, you need to soak the soybeans for several hours before bringing them over to grind." Mei Hua instructed while pushing the mill, implying that dry beans were much harder to grind than soaked ones.

After the soy milk was ground, Xiao Ruo had just covered the bucket with a cloth to prevent dirt from falling in when she heard Changer shout "Uncle" from outside.
