Chapter 135: Generous Congratulations Gift

Grandpa Li saw his little niece for the first time, always hearing from his wife how the daughter of their youngest daughter was different from other girls, if only she had been a boy.

This time, Grandpa Li wasn't celebrating a grand birthday; he only invited close relatives. Those who cared made the effort to come. Farmer families wouldn't hire chefs, so everyone chipped in to prepare the meals and set up several tables in the living room and courtyard.

Uncle and Young Uncle, along with their wives, politely received Hongji and his wife before starting to busy themselves in the kitchen.

As a son-in-law, Hongji didn't just stand around; when visiting his father-in-law's home, it was expected of farmer family members to lend a hand. To wait around like a guest for the meal would have been inappropriate and might have led to gossip.
