Madam Zhao's heart softened. Su Xiaolu had been gone for half a month and she missed her so much. Even after sending letters, Madam Zhao was worried that she would not be able to make it back in time for the new year.
Now that Su Xiaolu was home, Madam Zhao felt at ease.
This year, there were a few servants at home. There were many things that they did not have to do themselves, but it was the New Year, so Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were still used to cooking New Year's food themselves.
Su Xiaoling was in the palace. Sun Baoqian did not know much and was also helping.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian discussed and decided that the two families should celebrate the new year together, so they came over to help and it was very lively.
December 30th, New Year's Eve.
This was the thirteenth year.
Both families had changed a lot. Only their friendship remained unchanged.
