Zhulan instructed her daughter-in-law on household necessities such as food and drink, while Zhou Shuren taught Zhou the eldest how to properly care for the home.
Not only was Lady Li nurtured by Zhulan over the month, but Zhou Shuren also spent every day with Zhou the eldest by his side. The happiest moments for the couple that month were when they slept, and the results were evident. With Zhou Shuren away, Zhou the eldest could manage things on his own, and with the help of the second son, there was nothing much to worry about at home.
