Li Ling led Chen Hao and Bi Jingwen to the front of a newly built apartment building.
"The houses in this town are all old, with at least a history of more than ten years, so the organization has decided to rebuild them," Li Ling explained to Chen Hao.
Only then did Chen Hao notice that several houses nearby were in a state of new construction, but it seemed that Li Ling's house was not yet finished, with some parts of the gateway still without beams.
Li Ling then led Chen Hao and Bi Jingwen inside. As soon as they opened the door, they saw two middle-aged men and women coming towards them.
On seeing the two, Li Ling ran over and hugged the middle-aged woman's arm.
Then, Li Ling said to them, "Dad, Mom, Chen Hao made a special trip from Zhonghai."
These were indeed Li Ling's parents.
Li Ling had previously told Chen Hao the names of her parents; her father was Li Jianguo, and her mother was Cao Xiuying, names that were very much of their era.
