The snow in the courtyard had been swept clean, and waves of visitors came and went, wishing the elderly couple of the Qin Family a happy Chinese New Year.
Seeing Qin Jian and An Hao arrive filled them with indescribable joy.
"Dad, Mom! An Hao and I have come to wish you a happy New Year!" Following the local customs, giving New Year's greetings to one's elders required kneeling.
Just as Qin Jian and An Hao were about to kneel, they were stopped by the elderly couple of the Qin Family.
"It's good you're back. Come inside!"
The village was cold, so as soon as they entered the house, Liu Junping asked them to take off their shoes and step onto the heated brick bed.
After sitting down on the warm bed and drinking a few sips of water handed to him by Liu Junping, Qin Jian asked about the family's situation: "Are you all well? What happened to Fengfeng? And Qin Fen?"
