On the twentieth of August, the eldest grandchild of the Yue family had his first bath at three days old. Led by Mrs. Chen, almost all the womenfolk from the Xu family came to visit. Watching the little one wrinkle his face in the candle bag, Mrs. Chen was simply overjoyed.
This was the Yue family's eldest grandson, and Yue Siyuan took it very seriously. He had invited many friends and relatives, and the gathering was quite lively. The midwife gave the baby a symbolic bath, and the little one, not too pleased, started crying. His cries were loud and robust, prompting everyone to laugh and celebrate. "He's cried at the basin, this boy's got a strong voice, indeed a sturdy child. Very good."
