The next day, early in the morning, Bai Song went to Liu Baoguo's place, holding an Ashima and two bottles of Wuliangye, which his sister had packed into his suitcase. Since Liu Baoguo was also Bai Xiao's godfather, it was only right and proper for him to bring these gifts.
Liu Baoguo was sitting inside the house when Bai Song entered and saw Liu Baoguo's two sons, Liu Chengwen and Liu Chengwa, were also there. It seemed the two brothers had taken leave to celebrate the festival at home, and they immediately stood up to greet Bai Song.
They had long known from the letters their father had written that their families had become related through marriage and that Bai Xiao had saved his sister's life. They had always been grateful, and now seeing Bai Song made them even more enthusiastic.
They all worked in the same profession, albeit in different places—far and wide—but nonetheless, they were similar people with a common language.
