The Huo residence was bustling with excitement tonight. The family was gathered, joyfully and warmly toasting one another.
Huo Shanhe watched his children and grandchildren laugh and play, feeling deeply content.
In this large compound, there were quite a few families with situations similar to his, but it was truly rare to find one like theirs that coexisted so peacefully.
In his lifetime, Huo Shanhe had taken three wives.
His first wife was an arranged marriage. While others saw them as childhood sweethearts who grew up together, they had, in truth, only met a few times.
However, those were turbulent times, and after bearing him a son and a daughter, she passed away due to health reasons.
His second wife was a revolutionary comrade. She bore him two sons before sacrificing herself during a battle to cover her comrades' retreat.
