By the time the newlyweds had paid their respects with tea, the wedding festivities were finally concluded. On the third day after the wedding, both couples took their belongings and returned to their homes, and only then did the Xu family breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhiming and his wife were preoccupied with the restaurant business, and after tidying up a bit, they headed back to the county town. Wencheng could not accompany them just yet, as it was not good for the new house to stand empty within the first hundred days. As for Jingwan and Jingxian, the grandmother was too reluctant to let them go and insisted they stay with the family. Zhiming never went against his parents' wishes, and he felt at ease with his daughters at home anyway, so the two girls remained in the town.
