In his past life, Yi Anguo had yearned to return to his hometown in glory, but he never realized this wish before he died. It wasn't for lack of trying; life was just incredibly difficult. He worked hard to make money, to give his daughter a better life, to buy a house, and to pay off the mortgage. But when it came to his hometown, he both wanted to return and feared doing so.
Most of the time, he would only make a hasty trip back home during the Qingming Festival to sweep the tombs, staying just a night or two at his elder sister's place. His own house had long since fallen into disrepair and was uninhabitable. Tidying it up was too much trouble, and staying there for just one or two nights didn't seem worth it. He would take his daughter into the city to have fun, buy her clothes, get her tasty treats, and visit the park.
