Lu Jiaxin and two others took a sleeper car back home. Compared to a hard seat, the sleeper car was of course much more comfortable, so Lu Jiaxin felt rather energetic when she arrived home. However, out of habit, the first thing she did upon returning was to take a bath.
After Xue Mao returned from Ancient Capital, he informed the neighborhood committee that he wanted to add a toilet to his home's courtyard. Once he received permission from the committee, he immediately asked Lu Jiajie to find a contractor for the job. Unfortunately, the contractor was busy during that period, so in the end, the task of building the toilet was assigned to Ma Lili.
After her bath, just as Lu Jiaxin was about to dry her hair, someone outside called her to answer the phone. During her two months away, a small shop had opened at the entrance to the alley, and the family had installed a telephone.
