Under Li Xiu's meticulous care, both Zhou Lian and their daughter grew fair and plump. The baby girl's little arms and legs, resembling sections of a lotus root, were especially adorable.
Even in the dead of winter, the sisters Li Yun and Li Gui braved the cold and came over to Li Xiu's house every day, just to get another look at their chubby little niece, who seemed to change by the day.
This day marked the twentieth day since Li Xianglin's birth. The weather was clear and fine. Early in the morning, Zhou Lian began urging Li Xiu, saying she wanted to wash up and shampoo her hair.
Seeing her frantic state, Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, alright, alright," he readily agreed. "I'll go boil some water for you to wash your hair and bathe. Don't you worry!"
