Elder Jiang sighed, shook his head, and said no more, carrying his water cup as he turned and left the kitchen.
Life seemed to instantly return to its usual peaceful state.
He turned his head and looked at the clear sky outside the window; suddenly, everything was resolved.

Jiang Yi slept until four in the afternoon and was woken up by Auntie Cui.
Jiang Yi sat on the bed, looking bewildered, her mind not quite processing that it was already afternoon.
Auntie Cui said to her, "There's a guest in the house, says she's here to see you."
Jiang Yi was puzzled, "What? Who's here to see me?"
Auntie Cui shook her head, "It's a girl, first time here, unfamiliar face, looks quite young."
Jiang Yi was even more confounded.
She thought for a long time but couldn't remember which friend could be visiting.
Nonetheless, she got up, tidied herself briefly, changed clothes, and went downstairs.
In the living room, a young girl was drinking juice that Auntie Cui had made.
