Qiao Anhao brought herself back to her senses, and quickly nodded at mother Qiao. Seeing that she was carrying a pot of tea, she reached her arm out. "Serving tea? Let me."
"That's all right." Mother Qiao glanced over at Chen Yang and Qiao Anxia on the sofa, then gave a gleaming smile and said, "Chen Yang and Xia Xia are waiting for you. They said they wanted to go to the courtyard to watch the fireworks."
Qiao Anxia heard mother Qiao's words and stood up, forcefully pulling Chen Yang from the sofa. She then said to Qiao Anhao, "Qiao Qiao, let's go! We've waited half a day for you."

When Qiao sisters were little, before grandma and grandpa had passed away, everyone would go back to the family home every year to celebrate the Chinese New Year's. Back then, Qiao Anhao's parents were still alive. After New Year's dinner, her father would take her and Qiao Anxia to the courtyard to watch the fireworks. Her mother would stand to one side with a smile on her face.
