At Gu Yuying's home, meals were usually prepared by his mother, aunt, and aunt-in-law; typically, they didn't need to cook.
They only cooked during the New Year festivities.
The New Year's Eve dinner was prepared early, and after the family ate their reunion dinner, Gu Yuying and Luo Qingli had to leave in a hurry.
Tiantian and Suansuan had just started bonding with Luo Qingli, and to avoid making them sad, Xu Qian took them elsewhere to play.
Luo Qingli's family didn't ask much about her work.
Winter in Jinyang wasn't particularly cold; one could get by outside wearing just a coat. Moreover, Luo Qingli was already in good health, which improved even more with two months of training.
Even wearing just a light jacket, she felt no cold.
It was only when it was time to leave that Luo Qingli realized how reluctant she was to part with her children.
Early on, Luo Qingli had called her parents to tell them she wouldn't be coming home this year. Her job didn't allow it.
