Granny Hua from the village had taken a fall, causing a huge ruckus, but no one in Juhua's family was paying attention—they were busy. On the tenth day of the first month, Qingmu drove their family's new ox-cart, taking Zheng Changhe and Yang Family to Liujiatang to deliver the betrothal gifts, while Juhua stayed home to look after the house.
She sat in the courtyard, soaking up the sun while doing some needlework—it was a gift for Meizi, consisting of two pillowcases and two throw pillows.
Meizi had been the first girl in the village to come looking for Juhua to play, and Juhua was very fond of her innocent, lively nature. Even though Meizi hadn't ended up becoming her sister-in-law, they were still good friends. So, in addition to the wedding gift from her family, Juhua, as a close friend, was making these two extra items for her by hand.
