329

As the year drew to a close, Qijia Village was bustling with activity, a departure from its prior dullness.

Since they had received quite a bit of money and meat, even visiting relatives felt like they could stand taller and head out with dignity.

Qi Ergou, who was attending university, had come home as well, bringing with him some kumquats for Third Grandma Qi, a gift from Zhao Dajiao and He Tiantian for her to taste.

Wang Shuping returned the favor to Zhao Dajiao with some egg cakes; such exchanges ensured that relationships would last.

Regrettably, Qi Xiaoyan could not come home and would have to wait until the next year's New Year celebrations.

Unable to return, Qi Xiaoyan was missed by Village Chief Qi and Liang Hongyu at home, but they were consoled by the presence of their eldest son and grandchildren, while Niu Dajun grew restless and bought a train ticket to visit Qi Xiaoyan.
