After having the noodle soup prepared by Mother Zhang, Zhang the Second patted his belly and said, "Dad, I'm heading out to reconnect with old friends."
"Go ahead. Drink less alcohol."
"Got it."
"Mom, you should go back to your room early, don't rush with the kitchen chores."
"It's just two bowls."
Mother Zhang watched her son go out, quickly tidied up the unfinished work, left the kitchen, and entered the west room, only to see her husband crawling on the ground.
Curious, she approached him, "What's going on?"
"Now that the kids have left, I need to prepare something."
Hearing this, Mother Zhang moved a stool next to him, sat down, and massaged her legs, keeping a close eye on her husband's actions.
After much effort, Mr. Zhang finally pulled out an oil paper package from beside the kang hole and placed it on the kang, dusting off his pants with his hands.
