Gu Shaojun only had three days of leave. He had to be back at his post in the military by the third day of the New Year, which meant he was supposed to set off on the second.
Grandpa discussed it with him, asking if he could leave on the afternoon of the second day instead. In Grandpa's mind, since he was driving his own car, he could control the speed. He could just drive a bit faster on the way. Car accidents were not common in the eighties, so people had a simpler way of thinking.
Gu Shaojun's response was, naturally, "Yes."
And so, Grandpa happily decided they would hold a wedding banquet on the second day of the New Year—slaughtering a cow, a sheep, and a pig for the occasion!
