Now that he was back, Erhu was sticking around Chen Daqiao's house and wouldn't leave, acting like a little tail. He followed Bai Cheng'an everywhere, his eyes always filled with admiration. When he found out that Bai Cheng'an and Qian Sisi were leaving tomorrow, Erhu seemed like he wanted to say something but stopped himself, acting like a little wife, which amused Bai Cheng'an.

Erhu's house was very dilapidated, still an old-fashioned earthen structure. The yard was cluttered with tools for farm work, and Erhu's blind grandmother was feeding the chickens some corn cobs. Hearing voices, she groped her way over, her tone quite unfriendly: "Erhu? Is that you, Erhu?"
Erhu popped out from behind Bai Cheng'an, "Grandma, I'm back!"
