After lunch, everyone had some tea and took a short break before starting the preparations for the afternoon barbecue.
Zhu Qianying's hand was almost completely healed, so she helped out with tasks like marinating chicken wings and preparing sauces. The three men set up the barbecue grill outside and arranged the tables and chairs. Everyone moved in and out to carry food and drinks into the backyard.
Even the baby boy and baby girl, and several other kids, helped carry things like fruits.
"Sure enough, children need good role models. Usually, baby girl and the others are so lazy, but now with the baby boy as a role model, the two little rascals have become much more active."
Shao Shan, who was volunteering to barbecue, saw how her daughter and son were behaving as if they'd turned over a new leaf and couldn't help but be moved.
