After seeing Yang Liying off, Lin Lan scooped two ladles of peas into a basin to soak. Then she picked up the mushrooms and took Little Douzi to Grandma's house.
When they arrived at Grandma's house, they found both the front and back doors closed. The woman next door told them that Grandma had gone to help Yang Dingbang with a matchmaking meeting.
Back home, Lin Lan saw the sun was high in the sky, so she boiled some water, and both she and her son took a bath. While Little Douzi napped, Lin Lan washed the clothes and then started boiling bean paste and preparing the broad beans.
Grandma still hadn't returned by the afternoon. Yang Liying went home and brought Little Li over to Lin Lan's house to play with Little Douzi.
The two women put on their back baskets, carried their buckets, and headed for the Eucalyptus Forest.
Lin Lan gave the mushrooms and beans she had brought with her to Zhou Xiaohong. "My family gave these to me. I brought them for you to make soup."
