Due to Jiang Feng's family returning home with a bounty, the Jiang family enjoyed pork at every meal, entirely dispelling the gloom of previous pork-less days. Everyone reveled in a porky paradise, with ribs in the left hand and belly pork in the right, occasionally interspersed with some lean meat.
But happiness always seems fleeting, and the time to say goodbye to the village was quickly approaching.
Mrs. Jiang had been playing mahjong with her fellow village sisters for over ten days, dominating the mahjong table and feeling quite content. Thanks to the collective effort of the Jiang family, the pork brought back by Mrs. Wang Xiulian was completely finished just before the Lantern Festival.
Having decided to spend the Lantern Festival at the Li Mansion, the family booked high-speed train tickets for the afternoon of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, arriving in the evening, just in time to rest and be energetic for the festivities the next day.
