Lin Lan thought of how it was thanks to Master Chen and Li Hongmei's help that all their beans had been transported back to Lexing so quickly. She gathered some zongzi, salted eggs, and bean rolls and brought them to the station.
Old Chen and Li Hongmei happily accepted Lin Lan's festival gift, thinking that the Lin family had even better manners than people from the city.
When Lin Lan returned from the bus station, Yang Liying's family had also sent over a duck, salted eggs, and half a bucket of eels.
The Old Madam was at home, boiling a large pot of herbal medicine for Little Douzi and Dandan's bath. She had also used specially prepared silk threads to make two small, monkey-shaped sachets for them to wear around their necks.
Once they were all cleaned up, she also boiled some garlic cloves and salted eggs, placed them in a bamboo basket, and sent them over to Lin Lan's house for them to eat.
