Returning to my own home, it felt impossibly warm.
When Sheng Tang arrived home, Senior Brother Dazhou was there with his wife and children.
"...This year, your Senior Brother Xiao Zhou and Nanni went on vacation to Australia, so I invited your Senior Brother Dazhou over to celebrate the New Year with us," Mom explained to Sheng Tang.
Mom tidied up Grandma's room for Senior Brother Dazhou's family to stay.
The fact that she volunteered Grandma's room showed that the past was gradually fading away from mom's heart.
Sheng Tang saw a glimmer of hope.
"That's great, the more the merrier." Sheng Tang said with a smile.
She then turned to hold Senior Brother Dazhou's little daughter.
The little girl was already one year old, wrapped tightly by her parents like a dumpling.
"Come on, say 'Auntie'." Sheng Tang teased her.
The little girl couldn't speak yet, but her eyes darted all around, looking very lively.
Sheng Tang played with her for over an hour.
