    The newlyweds were enjoying their honeymoon, and Xiang Mianmian didn't want to be a third wheel. The door creaked shut. Xiang Lidang, sensing the tension, quickly held up the gift book Xiang Lili had kept: "Youyou, let's see how much we received." According to custom, wedding gifts belong to the newlyweds. Customs vary from place to place; in some areas, the son still gives gifts under the same name as his father, but it wasn't like that in their county. After the wedding, the son's social interactions were separated from his parents'; he had to return gifts to relatives and friends according to the gift book, building his own network. An You blushed and lowered her head: "Okay, I'll listen to Third Brother." The largest gift was actually from her parents—a "change of address" red envelope—each giving 10 yuan, totaling 20 yuan per family. Next was An You's uncle, who gave 18 yuan, second only to her parents. Then came her eldest brother, Xiang Liguo, who gave a large red envelope of 16 yuan, more than even An You's brothers had given. With her mother-in-law still alive, and after all, they were brothers born of the same mother, Wang Chunting, though harboring a slight competitive streak towards her sister-in-law, never gave any gifts that would be criticized.
