When Lin Lan and the other two returned to Lexing, Li Xiangyang rode up on his bike. "Let's go take a look at the place on Yucai Road," he said. "We'll move in after the New Year."
Lin Lan nodded. "It's a good idea to go take a look. First, let's take some New Year's gifts for Grand-aunt and wish Xiuyun an early happy New Year."
The four of them entered the courtyard. Lin Lan retrieved the New Year's goods and placed them in a back basket, and Li Xiangyang hung it on the bike.
Little Douzi climbed onto the seat behind Li Xiangyang, and Lin Lan took Qiaohui with her as they all went to Yucai Road.
Qiaohui looked at the small, Western-style house curiously. "Cousin, the houses here are so beautiful."
Lin Lan smiled and encouraged her. "If you learn your craft well, once you're earning money, you can build a house like this too."
Qiaohui looked at Lin Lan and said solemnly, "Cousin, I will work hard."
