Li Xiu stayed home to care for their child, do the laundry, cook, and manage the housework. He also picked up his wife from school and dropped her off, and in his spare time, he would wander the streets with his daughter in his arms. He was scouting for opportunities, hoping to earn some spending money for his wife and child.
Zhou Lian, for her part, had grown accustomed to this relaxed lifestyle. She attended classes during the day, and when it was time for a meal, her husband would arrive with their daughter in his arms to pick her up. When it was time for class, he would bring her to campus the same way. The trio became a sight to behold at Beijing University: a tall, handsome man, a fair-skinned, adorable child, and a beautiful, elegant woman. Every day, before and after classes, a crowd of students would gather to watch them, drawn by the simple fact that they were so pleasing to the eye.
