According to the custom in Yuncheng, a married woman would go back to visit her family on the second day of Lunar New Year.
In the past, they would always drive to Suzhou early in the morning on the second day of the new year and come back on the fourth day of the new year. But this year was different. Song Fengwan had to go back to her evening self-study sessions at school on the third day, so she naturally couldn't travel back and forth between Yuncheng and Suzhou.
The Qiao family was understanding of her situation. There were only two people in their family, and neither of them had female partners, so their Lunar New Year's Eve dinner was rather simple. After the father and son finished eating, they returned to their respective rooms to work on their jade stones, and Qiao Wangbei even polished and buffed a stone in the machine room for the entire night.
But the person who called the Qiao family was Yan Wangchuan, surprising Qiao Wangbei slightly.
