One must always look on the bright side of things, even if it's a daughter married off and returning to her parental home with her husband, she can't possibly be stuck to his side all day; more often than not, they're just like Ah Yan and Yuanfan nowadays, harmonious and warm when together, their deep affection conveyed mostly through exchanged glances.
Yuanfan and his daughter also shared moments of unspoken communication when unobserved; his gaze upon his daughter was as tender as water.
In places where the local rural atmosphere is strong, the New Year is especially lively, with neighbors visiting each other more frequently during the celebration. During these frequent New Year visits, Madam Yin witnessed the scene of young and old from Clear Water Village coming to the second branch of the Qi family to offer their New Year's greetings.
