Cheng Su brought her son back to her hometown this time, firstly because of the New Year, and secondly, because Qi Xiaoqi needs to be presented, a tradition in the countryside for sons to formally notify their ancestors, ensuring family lineage.
When Qi Xiaoqi had his full moon celebration, it was held in Qing City with a small gathering, so Father Qi and Mother Qi decided to use this opportunity to invite relatives for a feast as a supplementary celebration.
The elders wanted a lively event, and Cheng Su didn't mind helping. Before the day arrived, she was busy organizing the banquet, deciding on the menu, who to invite, and how many supplies to purchase, all of which needed planning.
Time flew by, and on New Year's Eve, Cheng Su got up early to help slaughter chickens and ducks and offer prayers. She was busy with various tasks; in the freezing weather, she hardly left the house except for family duties.
