In the evening, Xinyan shared a room with her grandmother, He Jinxuan and her grandfather shared another room. Both rooms were filled with conversations that lasted into the night before they finally rested.
After breakfast the next morning, they heard that the village ahead was going to break the ice for fishing. He Jinxuan followed Zhang Yueshan to join the fun.
Since the weather was too cold, Xinyan stayed home to help prepare lunch as they would be leaving in the afternoon, taking the night train back to the Capital.
Granny Zhang prepared quite a bit of wild produce from the area for Xinyan to take back: "Yanyan, take this to Grandma Tong as a little gesture from me."
Xinyan looked at the package: "Just watch, if I bring it over, Grandma Tong will surely scold me for not telling her in advance that I'm coming."
Thinking of the scene, Xinyan couldn't help but laugh.
