When the scene opens, the two young men are quarreling in front of their uncle and aunt. The uncle scolds them for being so childish, and the aunt tries to calm them down. She tells the men that they are no longer welcome in the house, and that they should stop showing off their love for each other. The two men agree to go to the first incense ceremony on New Year's Eve, but the uncle insists that they eat cotton candy instead. He then asks the aunt if she has heard of the word "domestic bliss," which means being "up to your eyes, ears, and children." The men agree, and they leave.
