Pei Shanshan originally wanted to stay in the field to help with the work, but was turned down by Wang Cuilan.
"The three of us are enough. The busy spring plowing is almost over and will be finished in a couple of days. You go back and help your sister-in-law prepare the food for the lunch sale."
If Pei Shanshan didn't go back, Jiang Ran would have to prepare the food all by herself.
There's quite a lot to prepare; it's not feasible to leave it all to Jiang Ran.
Hearing what Wang Cuilan said, Pei Shanshan didn't say more and went home with Jiang Ran.
There was still some food and porridge left for the two of them in the pot, which were still warm.
After eating, they didn't rest and immediately started preparing the food needed for lunch.
Other things could wait a bit, but the braised pork needed to start steaming right away.
If they delayed, the braised pork wouldn't be steamed to the right tenderness and would taste bad.
