Another New Year has arrived.
Unlike previous Spring Festivals, this year is Old Chen's first year after permanently settling in Jiangning, persuaded by his son.
Because of this, Old Chen is rather melancholic.
Perhaps it's how all elderly people feel, it's hard to leave one's roots. Actually, Chen Ba can understand Old Chen's feelings. After all, he sometimes misses the place where he grew up.
But there's no choice...
Just like that line Dagu said to Obik, the old village isn't coming back!
Obik's experience is really akin to what Chen Ba's generation went through, with the village bearing childhood memories that's destined to remain in the past.
It was once beautiful, but that was the past. Now, when you look around, how much still resembles what it used to be?
Old Chen can take things as they come. After being emotional for a bit, he let it go, especially since he still had to cook the New Year's Eve dinner!
Maid?
