Other than his first day back home, Xiaoquan stayed constantly at Liuliu's parent's house since he told his parents he would be staying at his sister-in-law's home. Liuliu's parents treated Xiaoquan as one of their own.
Xiaoquan was now learning hands-on skills from his sister-in-law. Not only did he learn to make sausage and to roast pig intestines, but he also learned from Liuliu how to make braised lion head meatballs and sweet and sour ribs. Now that their household was quite well-off, it was convenient for Liuliu to cook and to teach Xiaoquan.
