A Gift of Friendship: Li Jianian's Offering to Fu Bao
As soon as he said this, the eldest and second children looked at Fu Bao with an excited gleam in their eyes.
Li Jianian also felt a sense of anticipation, although he didn't quite understand what a "Match" entailed or what it meant for the future. Perhaps it simply meant being good friends.
He wanted to be friends with Fu Bao.
In the village, it was common for parents to arrange "Match" for their children, sometimes even before they were born. However, Mrs. Li was reluctant to arrange such matters for Fu Bao. After all, her own son was only five years old. If he became engaged now, it would feel as though Fu Bao already belonged to another family. Mrs. Li selfishly wanted Fu Bao to remain a part of their family.
