Today, the Li Family was also stewing a huge pot of dhole meat. When Li Dayong and Li Baoyu got home, they started eating right away. Father and son sat on the kang, eating, drinking, and chatting. They refilled each other's cups, and the atmosphere was congenial.
Then, Li Baoyu went out for a stroll. When he returned, he didn't even want his drink anymore and started digging into his food.
Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei exchanged a look. From across the kang table, Jin Xiaomei asked Li Baoyu, "Son, you're not finishing your drink?"
The custom was to drink and nibble on dishes first, only eating the staple food after the alcohol was finished.
"I'm done," Li Baoyu answered. Seeing that his cup was still half full, he picked it up and poured the rest into Li Dayong's cup.
Li Baoyu said, "Dad, I'm not drinking anymore. You can have it."
Li Dayong glanced at his now-overflowing cup and asked Li Baoyu, "What's up? You got plans?"
