Before one knew it, the time had come for Little Dengdeng's first birthday celebration and the ritual of "Zhuazhou," where a child picks an item that signifies their future path. Lin Ping'er took the initiative to handle all the arrangements, bustling about the house with extraordinary enthusiasm. According to her, making preparations for her grandson was not tiring at all. Bai Ruozhu, however, felt that it was an understatement to say Lin Ping'er wasn't tired; she seemed as if she were infused with chicken blood.
Since they were hosting the celebration themselves, there weren't many guests to expect, just waiting for Bai Lu and Bai Yixiao to arrive would suffice. However, when the time came, two horse carriages arrived at the gate. Bai Lu and Bai Yixiao alighted from one carriage, followed by Bai Fu and the Liu Family, who also descended from their carriage.
