On the second day of the second lunar month, at the beginning of spring, it was Li Gui's wedding day. Early in the morning, Li Xiu carried his tightly bundled daughter, with his equally bundled wife in tow, and headed to Uncle Li's house.
Seeing their nephew arrive so early with his wife and child to help, Uncle Li and Aunt Li beamed. It was one thing to know their nephew was reliable, but quite another to experience it firsthand when it was their own family's turn. They remembered how he and his wife had conducted themselves during Li Hua's wedding last year. Their daughter was his cousin, just like Li Hua, so they were sure she'd get the same treatment. Still, as the day arrived, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious. This nephew and his wife, however, were people who could take charge.
