It was two days before the New Year's Eve feast.
The entire Shen family had packed their belongings to celebrate the New Year at the military base.
Since Yiguang hadn't come home for the New Year, the base had allowed the families of soldiers without leave to come and visit.
The base had organized some programs and welfare benefits for the soldiers staying behind, trying their best to give the soldiers and their families a sense of happiness and belonging.
The weather was as cold as ever; although there wasn't continuous heavy snow, there would occasionally be a light snowfall at night.
Yiguang drove the base's jeep, and as the front seats were filled, Yixiang voluntarily moved to the back with the tarpaulin-covered cargo space, laid out with some straw and luggage, which made it not too cold.
Erniu sat in the passenger seat, PeiMin cradled a child and sat by the rear window, with Yiyue next to her and Guizhi beside them, both vying to hold Lele.
