Shen Yuan drove back, dropping Chen Na off at the café before heading to his "new home".
Today was the day to light the new house's hearth, and Old Shen and Ms. Li had called in the morning to ask him to come home for dinner.
It was only this morning that he had learned, during a previous period, Old Shen and Ms. Li had been house hunting and, after much searching, hadn't found a suitable place.
Either they complained about the new houses not having adequate amenities, finding it inconvenient for a trip to the vegetable market or a big supermarket, or they disliked the location for being too remote, far from the downtown area.
For various reasons, they started looking at second-hand houses and, after two days, they unexpectedly found their old home listed for sale.
