Gu'er was carried into the Sun Family home on Sun Jiaming's back. Once her feet were back on the ground, she saw that Sun Jiaming's forehead was covered in sweat. She wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe it for him, but she didn't have one. Besides, with a crowd of people gathered around them, she was too shy.
In those days, weddings weren't as boisterous as they would later become, nor did they have as many ceremonies, but the kneeling and tea ceremony was still required.
On the living room sofa, Grandma Sun, Sun Zhuzi, and Cao Qiu were already seated.
Sun Jiaming led Gu'er to kneel before them, kowtowing and serving them tea.
Gu'er followed Sun Jiaming's lead and changed how she addressed them, calling Grandma Sun "Grandma," and Sun Zhuzi and Cao Qiu "Mom" and "Dad."
