Today, besides being the day to bid farewell to Ling Nai, it was also the day Ayu's father returned.
Ayu's father seldom appeared, and the last time Fang You saw him was back in kindergarten, an impression of a wise and learned gentle uncle, but that was some years ago.
Polar expeditions usually last at least six months, and Father Yu maintained a habit of coming home every half a year; however, this year was particularly unusual, as the investigation only concluded after a full eight months. It was only recently that the research vessel docked at Fu City for rest and to summarize the relevant data from the expedition.
Normally, Father Yu would have planned to return home two days later, but he decided to come back earlier this time because Mother Yu became sentimental while watching fireworks and he thought that it had indeed been quite a while since he last came home.
As she was preparing to welcome her husband home, Mother Yu decided to cook the meal herself this time.
