The group left the hospital, and the sky had already turned dark. Snowflakes were once again falling on New Year's Eve, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance. People were already enjoying their New Year's Eve dinner.
And what about their family?
The group looked at each other, all feeling a bit gloomy and self-mocking. It should have been a good, happy reunion for the New Year, but instead, this mess happened.
"Let's head back." Father Qi looked at the dark sky and said with a sigh.
"Dad, you all go back first. We'll find a hotel in the city for now and return on the second day of the New Year!" Qi Fenglian said, holding Xiao Bao.
Traditionally, married daughters don't return to their parents' home for the New Year to not disrupt their family's good luck. So Qi Fenglian stayed mindful of this.
Father Qi's face darkened, and he said, "What are you talking about? It's the New Year; if you don't come back, where will your whole family go?"
