"Sometimes we would go inside the house to check things out, pull up weeds, kill some bugs and such. Now that you're back, perfect timing, here's the key for you."
Auntie Walker said as she went to find the key.
Delphine stood in their neighbor's house, turning her face away and blinking her moist eyes.
Uncle Walker, who was standing nearby, mentioned the house with a slight excitement, saying, "Girl, a couple of years ago, our town was designated as a national Old Town preservation area. This house is worth quite a lot now. If you don't understand the market, don't sell it rashly."
"All you ever think about is selling houses." Auntie Walker shot her husband a glance, then smilingly handed the key to Delphine, saying, "It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and luckily the house is stocked up for the holiday—with fish and meat ready. You stay here for dinner, then I'll take you over to have a look."
