Early in the morning, right after breakfast, Aunt Li, Aunt Li, Li Bao, and Li Guo all arrived one after another, as if by unspoken agreement. They entered the room to look at the sleeping baby, spoke a few words with Zhou Lian, and then got busy.
Aunt Li and Li Bao were to deliver gifts to the households of Grandpa Li and Grandpa Li, as well as the village chief, the production team leader, and the matchmaker's family. Aunt Li and Li Guo would deliver to the households of Second Grandpa Li and Third Grandpa Li, plus Li Xiu's parents. With the plan decided, they went their separate ways.
Watching from the side, Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh. Aunt Li had taken on the more troublesome households herself—especially his parents'—while letting the other Aunt Li handle all the easygoing families. He figured his mother was bound to say a few unpleasant things.
