"It was just over twenty kilometers, but Wang Hao took an hour to finally reach the destination. As they entered the village, they saw the eastern side where his great-grandfather's house was all lit up and bustling with people.
When Wang Hao's car drove by, three people came out from the great-grandfather's large courtyard. As soon as they saw him, they smiled and said, "Look who has come! Hey, De Wang, it's been what, four or five years since we last saw you?"
Wang Hao's father nodded with a smile, "Indeed, it's been four or five years. Oh, how time flies."
"Come in, come in," said the speaker, a solidly built farmer in his early fifties, Wang Hao's uncle, Wang Delong. He couldn't stop smiling as he said, "Using the old ancestor's hundredth birthday as an excuse, we finally got everyone together. Otherwise, the ties might weaken over time." Wang Hao's great-grandfather lived with the family of Wang Delong, a branch of Uncle Three.
