For several days in a row, Cheng Su had been getting ready for the New Year holiday, busy delivering New Year goods, organizing the year-end party and handing out bonuses. Because she kept thinking that once the New Year came she could finally meet up and reunite with Qi Taiguo, even though she was busy, she still felt full of energy all over; this was probably what it meant to be filled with drive when you had something to look forward to.
As the New Year drew nearer, the weather got colder and colder. On the twenty‑seventh, Cheng Su cleaned the house thoroughly inside and out, then called her parents' home. On the twenty‑eighth, she locked the door and headed to Guangcheng together with her son and her parents‑in‑law.
