Li Weidong invited everyone inside to sit down, and they chatted and laughed, creating a lively atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Hu Zi and Zhao Shunqiang, leaning on their canes, stood blankly at the entrance of the deserted ancestral hall.
"Dad, why hasn't anyone come yet this year?"

The child looked bewildered: "Go and wish people a Happy New Year!"
Everyone is wishing Brother Weidong a Happy New Year!
Why didn't you go?
