Added Responsibilities

Well... Apart from the added responsibilities of being a mother, was going to be the successor to the person in charge of events in the family. For example, Qingming, Chongyang...

The Kwok family had some customs which they straightly followed... For example, visiting relatives on Chinese New Year. We paid our respect as a couple to the elders with 4 oranges. 3 oranges below and 1 orange on top with an ang pow in between?

For Chongyang, they always go and pay their respects to the ancestors with chicken, roast pork, etc. The chicken had a standard way of preparing... It must be whole, intact with head, neck folded in a certain way, etc?

I wondered if I will be able to do it...
