With the engagement ceremony just a week away, Xiao Man found herself unexpectedly busier than she had ever been at school or the hospital. She barely even had time to hold the two little ones and play with them.
The two grandmothers, Mrs. Gu, and Grandma Hao were constantly orbiting around her. Mrs. Hao also rushed over to join the fun whenever she had a spare moment. Soon, several other grandaunts and aunts from the Gu and Tang families joined in, forming an even larger entourage that completely enveloped Xiao Man. They wished they could have her in front of them at all times, lecturing and instructing her on all sorts of matters, and showing her this and that... Xiao Man complained endlessly to herself. 'An engagement is this much trouble? Won't the wedding be even more torturous?'
'I should probably consider a destination wedding. We could just run off, get everything done, and then come back.'
