This year, the two families finally gathered together again.
Just like before.
Shen Zhaozhao still went to find Sheng Chuyi on the evening of New Year's Eve, and Sheng Chuyi would come to seek her out on the first day of the New Year.
The two of them, just as before, paid New Year's visits to the elders of both families and competed with a bunch of kids to set off fireworks.
The great-grandmother of the Sheng family still cheerfully called her granddaughter-in-law, preparing a big red envelope for her.
However, compared to two years ago, the old lady's spirit had clearly declined quite a bit, but her sparse, white hair was still neatly groomed. She only talked for a while before letting them go off to play.
After the New Year, Shen Zhaozhao and the Shen family went back to Jing City.
With three days left before school started, Qin Suxin wanted to keep them at that home, but Sheng Chuyi refused, saying they needed to go back and clean their place.
