"Eleventh Uncle had been away for several days, and by the time he returned, it was already New Year's Eve."
"New Year had arrived!"
"This was Su Pan'er's first time celebrating the New Year in the countryside. She saw with her own eyes that as the New Year approached, the Qin Mansion slaughtered two big, fat pigs. They had started eating pork since before the New Year. The pigs were raised in the three rooms beside the old Qin family residence."
"Originally, a fire had destroyed those three rooms of the old Qin residence. Over the past few years, once Su Lao Si had some spare time, he hired some people to cover them again, using the space to raise chickens and pigs."
"As New Year's Eve drew near, people like Qin Hui who had been busy working outside also returned. Qin Yu and Mrs. Qin Yueshi found it inconvenient to continue living in the Qin Mansion, so they took Shuang'er and moved back to the main courtyard of the Qin Family."
