Today is the day the He Family departs for Beijing.
Before dawn, Mother He got up and started preparing the food for the train.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Erni, heard the commotion and quickly went to the kitchen: "Mom, let me give you a hand."
Mother He was busy thinking, so she replied casually: "Knead the dough, steam the buns directly. In a bit, slice the pickles, stir-fry with chili, and pack it properly. They'll go well together."
Wang Erni was an honest person and quickly got busy: "Mom, the words Second Brother and his wife said a few days ago, I overheard them in the yard. Have you made up your mind?"
Mother He frowned: "Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Wang Erni didn't stop what she was doing: "I didn't have the leisure for that. My stomach hurt that day, so I came home early, just started simmering ginger sugar water, and then Second Brother and his wife came over."
