The village broadcast announced the end of work, and the two daughters-in-law of the Zhang Family had already prepared dinner. The Zhang Family's meals have improved now. Cornmeal is finally no longer seen. With the completion of two courtyard houses, the family's coarse grains are enough to sustain everyone until next spring.
Originally, Mr. Zhang planned to stock up on some coarse grains before the market event and exchange the fine grains given at the end of the year for coarse grains. That way, there won't be a shortage of staple food next year. But thanks to Zhang Guoqing's occasional table full of good food, well, now even the adults couldn't swallow cornmeal, let alone the kids.
Mr. Zhang thought about the children in the family eating the supplied grains, knowing next year they wouldn't have access to staple grains. Now feeling financially comfortable, he immediately bought plenty of fine and coarse grains.
