Back then, when the village had
a big event like building a new house...

:18:28
...each family prepared a dish...
:18:31
...for the men working on the site.
:18:35
My mother prepared her best dishes...
:18:38
...hoping my father would eat
what she made.

In the old days, women were not allowed
to participate in many things...

:19:05
...such as building a new house
or digging a new well.

:19:08
Superstition had it
that women would bring bad luck.

:19:11
When they built the schoolhouse,
women could only...

:19:14
...watch from a distance.
:19:43
-What did you make today?
-Steamed bread.

:19:46
-Di, what did you make?
-I made onion cakes.

:19:49
I brought rice steamed in Iotus Ieaves.
:19:52
Steamed rice is not as good
as onion cakes.

:19:54
-Did you save some for your boyfriend?
-Shut up!

:19:59
They just pick up any dish at random.
