In the Zhang Family's old courtyard, Mother Zhang started bustling around with her two daughters-in-law from the early hours, preparing several large pots of cornmeal buns, braised pork ribs with potatoes, clear stewed green beans, cabbage stewed with pork fat, plus some pickles.
The hustle and bustle made the time fly by, and before long, it was noon.
Mother Zhang, along with her daughters-in-law, carefully selected and served dishes, placing everything in the temporary thatched house at the new courtyard. As the aroma wafted out, Mr. Zhang hastily invited everyone to eat first, planning to resume work in the afternoon.
