Yan Yijun and Li Qing took the earliest flight from Yangcheng City to the Forty-nine City, arriving even earlier than Lu Jiaxin. However, since they agreed to meet in the evening, Lu Jiaxin wasn't in a hurry.
After eating and drinking her fill, Lu Jiaxin went for a walk in the back garden. Lu Hongjun followed along, pointing at several winter plum trees in the corner, boasting, "These came from the mountain of a relative of an old friend of mine. I got your Fifth Brother to go and buy them all to plant here. They blossomed last winter, very beautiful."
It's hard for transplanted trees to survive, but all of these did, which is indeed impressive.
Lu Hongjun continued talking about recent events: "You didn't come back for the New Year, so Jiaguang and Jiazong brought the kids to my place for the celebration. The whole family gathered for New Year's Eve dinner, it was very lively."
Lu Jiaxin let her talk while thinking about other things.
