"They're back! They're back! Hua Biao and the others have returned!" The voice of Wen Quanxin arrives before he does.
Since morning, Old Zhao and Old Lin have been anxiously waiting inside the house. Upon hearing the news, they exchange a glance and immediately stand up, saying, "Let's go, let's go, let's head out and see!"
Before they finish speaking, a familiar voice rings out from outside; Hua Biao calls out loudly, "No need, we're already here!"
As soon as he finishes speaking, Duan Chengwu pushes the door open and comes out, followed closely by Hua Biao, then Shen Lian, led by Wen Quanxin, entering one after the other.
"How did it go? Hua Zi, was everything smooth along the way?" Lin Junfu asks.
Hua Biao raises his hand to brush the snow off himself, nodding solemnly, "It was okay, ran into some trouble, but it's all sorted now."
Though Hua Biao's words sound simple, everyone knows their journey was likely not so easy.
