Tang Baona called for a ride and took the half-finished woodcarving packed in a cardboard box by Xiang Kun. She was originally planning to head home, but her mother sent a message telling her that she and her sister were at their grandfather's house, so she instructed the driver to change course.
Upon arrival, Tang Baona learned from her sister Baoting that she'd brought her boyfriend along, apparently planning to announce their engagement. Their grandfather proposed that he should meet him.
Baoting's boyfriend was rather introverted and shy, but he was tall and handsome. Baona had met him a few times before and knew he was a local public servant who had been dating her sister for over a year. Given their age, discussing marriage was only a natural progression.
