On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when returning to her parental home, Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo finished breakfast and started preparing the gifts for visiting relatives. There were various tonics, candies, pastries, and they also brought Father Cheng two packs of good cigarettes and two bottles of fine liquor.
The Cheng family in Myrica Rubra Village wasn't alone; they had other uncles and such as well. According to custom, in the first year of a daughter's marriage, when she goes back to her parental home for the New Year, she must bring gifts for those uncles.
So, Cheng Su had purchased quite a lot in advance, and this time returning, she was laden with both big and small packages.
Mother Qi looked on with disapproval. That was all money, after all.
"Dad, Mom, we're off then. We'll come back tomorrow. If big sister and the others come, please send them our regards!" Cheng Su said with a smile.
"Go ahead," Father Qi waved them off with a chuckle.
