Jiang Feng squatted in the corner of the courtyard, finished his pancakes, and put the plate back in the kitchen before carrying the dumplings into the living room. When he returned the plate to the kitchen, Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian, the two sisters, were no longer there. The spotless, shiny iron pot on the stove testified to their ability to scrub pots.
There was nobody in the living room, but from the various rooms, he could faintly hear the sound of phone greetings. Generally speaking, the hour after breakfast on the first day of the lunar new year was when the Jiang family members made phone calls to wish others a happy new year. This activity, symbolizing the world of adults with good wishes, was currently participated in by only Jiang Zaidi among the younger generation, while the others typically sent a quick New Year's greeting on QQ or WeChat.
