I Often Remember the Sparse Rain over the Creekside Pavilion

The Li clan has never had many children in recent generations. There have been plenty of boys, but over several generations, Li Jixi has been the only girl. Her family doesn't seem to mind. It doesn't matter how many girls there are, since they'll all get married eventually, and once they join their husband's family, they'll take his surname like everyone else. The elders believe that as long as there are boys, that's enough. Every year, most members of the extended family return to their ancestral home for the Qingming Festival to pay their respects. When something comes up at home, her father has no choice but to take his daughter along to the old family house to honor their ancestors. By chance, little Xi overhears the elders talking and resolves to take a look inside the ancestral hall.
