Long before, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan had planned to spend this New Year in City A with their daughter, but as soon as the twelfth lunar month began, Grandpa Lin called the couple and insisted that they must return to the Capital City to celebrate the New Year and participate in the ancestral rituals.
Grandpa Lin had taken Lin Baohe to the Lin Family's ancestral graves to pay respects before, but the New Year's ancestral ritual was fundamentally different from the usual rites. Not only the direct descendants but also the extended Lin Family members all needed to attend, thus the New Year's ritual was somewhat a declaration of one's identity to everyone.
The couple understood the significance of this event and agreed to Grandpa Lin's request. They celebrated the Lesser New Year in City A and planned to rush to the Capital City on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
