Capítulo 62: Chapter 60: Auspicious Ground-Breaking

Today is the first day of construction for Xiao'er's new house. Shen Chengyao and Mrs. Liu got up early to prepare offerings for the ritual. Yesterday, Shen Chengyao bought a large rooster, and now he's in the courtyard plucking its feathers. Mrs. Liu is boiling sweet dumplings in the kitchen. The dumplings were made by Jingrui and Jinghao, filled with peanuts and sesame seeds. All three men in the family love dumplings, so they had requested plenty to be made. Therefore, Mrs. Liu made a large potful, planning to share some with the main family and Uncle Shen's family from the fourth branch.
