To go back to Niannian Garden with Yun Jinnian, even when Aunt Lian and Aunt Rou came to pick them up in the evening, they refused to go.
"If the two aunts trust Jinnian, let them stay here tonight!"
Aunt Rou and Aunt Lian looked at each other but ultimately returned reluctantly.
"Hooray, hooray, we can sleep with sister tonight!"
Yun Jinnian smiled gently and asked Hemei and Henuan to get the undergarments for the three children.
After having dinner, the four sat together, Yun Jinnian read to them, the floor heating was burning fiercely, making the room warm. On the table were delicious snacks and peeled pomelos and tangerines.
The three children ate a bite and listened attentively.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's stop here for tonight, let's wash our faces, wash our feet, and go to sleep!"
Shi Jiayu and Ru Yue helped with washing faces, feet, and changing clothes. The four slept on one wide bed which was still very spacious.
