The next morning, just as a glimmer of light began to break, the Jiang Family was bustling with activity, because Jiang Yanting's family was departing for a trip abroad today, with a plane to catch at 8:30 a.m. They planned to have breakfast at the old house first.
With farewell dumplings and welcome noodles, the grandma woke up early and, with Fan Mingyu, prepared the dumplings, so that once Yanting's family arrived at the old house, they could be cooked and ready to eat.
"You are traveling with two children for so many days, you must pay close attention to safety," the grandma reiterated, keen on them going abroad to strengthen their familial bonds, yet feeling somewhat downcast at the prospect of not seeing the children for such a long time.
"I will," Jiang Yanting nodded.
"Make sure you've packed everything, passports and documents, carry them all, don't leave anything behind," Fan Mingyu advised, never quite at ease.
