In the Zhang Family's kitchen, Zhou Jiao finished eating and cleaning up, then said, "Mom, handle the rest as you see fit. I'm waiting for your instructions."
Mother Zhang said, "Your big sister will be home soon; I need her help to tidy up. I'll deliver things to the two houses next door first. We're making quite a noise, and they probably heard us. Better to send it over early."
As soon as Zhou Jiao saw Mother Zhang carry things out, she quickly ran inside to grab the ginseng and small Lingzhi and handed them to Mr. Zhang.
She winked at Zhang Meili, who was holding her mouth as she chuckled, and said to Mr. Zhang, "Dad, let's bring the jar of sorghum liquor to the living room. If we soak it early, we can drink it early."
"Don't waste it. It's useful later on."
"Oh come on, Dad, help me out. It's okay if I just toss it into the liquor jar, right?"
