Returning home, what hit me was still the steaming scent of lively bustling activities.
Upon close consideration, it was indeed the smell of life and warmth.
Old man Jiang Fuzhen was grilling on the terrace with several others. The door between the living room and the terrace was left open, allowing the charcoal, the grilled meat, and the seafood aromas to pour into my nostrils.
"How lively. Uncle Four, Auntie Five… Mrs. Hua, Aunt Liu…" Jiang Yuan greeted each of them, changed shoes, and made his way to the terrace.
