Fubao's Joyful Celebration: A Family's Dedication to Their Daughter's Milestone

Fubao, her voice soft and gentle, melted Li Chengyuan's heart instantly. He reached out to grasp her tiny hand and explained, "Mom, Dad, I've already paid this month's wages in advance to the foreman. I told him it's for my daughter's full moon wine. Are you both alright with that?"

"Full moon wine?" Mrs. Li's interest was piqued. "I was just about to suggest the same! With the arrival of our little girl, it must be celebrated properly. Jianlin, using your salary for this month to organize a full moon wine for your daughter is a splendid idea."

Lin Yanfen felt a bit embarrassed. "Mom, there's no need for such grand gestures... Jianlin works hard for every penny, and we didn't celebrate the full moon for our previous four sons in such a lavish manner."

"That won't do!" Mrs. Li firmly objected. "This is the first daughter in our Li family. It calls for a more dignified celebration, not something casual!"

The boys had no objections and were even excited. They were eager to make an impression, perhaps hoping for a meaty feast instead of their usual fare of sweet potatoes and wild vegetables. It seemed they wanted to capitalize on their sister's arrival!

"Xiujuan, I've allocated my wages to ensure our daughter's full moon celebration. You needn't worry. We can always earn more money, but we can't overlook our daughter's special milestones," Li Chengyuan said earnestly, playfully making faces at Fubao to elicit her laughter.

Fubao giggled in response.

Dad's acting silly again, doesn't he know he's ruining his image? Yet, she couldn't help but indulge him, giving him the satisfaction of her laughter.

Seeing Fubao smile, Li Chengyuan's heart nearly burst with joy, as if all the hardships had dissolved in that moment.

Lin Yanfen chuckled too. Indeed, Fubao seemed to be a blessed child, showered with affection from the entire family.

With the full moon celebration settled, rumors quickly spread throughout the village, eliciting puzzled reactions.

Are the Lis out of their minds? Celebrating a girl's full moon more grandly than their previous boys? It's absurd!

Is it really necessary for a girl?

The village wasn't large, and gossip inevitably reached the Li family's ears. Mrs. Li merely scoffed at the superficial opinions, unwavering in her decision to celebrate Fubao's milestones lavishly.Their own daughter, their own joy—what mattered the most was how they chose to cherish her.

On that fine day, with the sun gentle and the weather pleasant, it was the perfect occasion for a trip to the market.

Armed with Li Chengyuan's wages, Mrs. Li intended to purchase some meat for the full moon celebration. Meat dishes were a must; otherwise, the occasion would seem lackluster. They also needed to recruit skilled cooks to prepare a feast of hearty dishes.

Just as she was about to call Li Chengyuan to accompany her, two unexpected visitors arrived.

A young, attractive woman in her twenties stood at the entrance of the Li's yard, accompanied by a three or four-year-old boy. "Is anyone home?" she called out. Mrs. Li stepped out and recognized her immediately. "Isn't this Huo's daughter-in-law? What brings you here?"
