Compared to the Zhang family's despondence, the Qi family was a scene of joyful harmony.
On the tenth day of the new year, the celebration for Qi Xiaoqi was held with great festivity, with square tables set up both inside and outside, laden with food and drink. Early this morning, Mother Qi and the others had already worshipped the gods and honored the ancestors, and had used a brush dipped in cinnabar to mark a red dot on Qi Xiaoqi's forehead.
This lively celebration was possible because the Qi family had the means to afford it, and it was also for the first third-generation child, the eldest legitimate grandson, so it was fitting to make it grand. Moreover, it also served as a makeup full-month celebration.
