"Yes, I'm Danli, Auntie Liu, happy new year."
"Danli, it's been so many years since I've seen you. The last time you came back, I happened to be taking care of my grandson at my son's place. I only found out you'd been here when I returned."
"Auntie Liu, thank you for still keeping me in mind."
"I got along so well with your mother. It's only natural for me to think of you. Come in quickly. Your sister-in-law doesn't know what's what. Don't take whatever she says to heart, especially since you don't come back often."
"I understand, Auntie. I'll go inside now."
"Go on, go on. Seeing that you're fine puts my mind at ease."
Just then, an untimely voice intruded, "Oh, look who it is. After all this time in the Capital, you didn't think to visit your parents' home first. You're right at the doorstep, yet here you are, chit-chatting with someone unrelated."
"What do you mean by that, sister-in-law? Are you saying I shouldn't come back?"
