The Bai Family's second home was buzzing with activity for a whole day. By evening, when everyone had dispersed, everyone was exhausted, save for Bai Ruozhu who was still in confinement after childbirth. Nevertheless, everyone was in high spirits and even ecstatic.
The following morning, Bai Zehao went alone to the town, while Bai Zepei followed Bai Yihong to the fields to work. Someone had to do the work in the fields, and Bai Zepei had no intention of holding things up because of him.
After Bai Zepei had been busy in the field for about two hours, someone called out from the edge of the field, "Er Lang." He looked up to see his elder cousin, Bai Ruomei.
Bai Ruomei was Bai Yibo's eldest daughter, who had married into the Lu family in town a few years ago. She had very little contact with the second branch of the Bai family and seldom returned to the Back Mountain Village.
