Xiaoquan bid farewell to Liuliu's parents, greeted Xiaojie, and then headed home to gather his belongings, planning to set out as soon as possible to see his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Once home, Xiaoquan shared his plan with his family: "Father, Mother, I have spoken with my eldest sister-in-law's family. I am not busy now, and I estimate that by the New Year there will be no war over there. So, I plan to pack tomorrow and leave the day after to visit my eldest brother and dis sister-in-law. If there's work to be done in the shop, Xiaowen, please help me look after it. Usually Xiaoguo also goes over to check on it." Xiaoquan arranged everything.
"Fourth Brother, after you leave, it's best to find our elder brother first. Our sister-in-law might have changed her name. It may not be easy to find her, and even when you do find her, be careful not to let others discover she's a woman." Xiaowen had grown mature and understood the importance of this advice.
