The two children were confused and didn't suspect a thing until they stepped inside the new house and realized what was happening.
Xu Jian’s eyes were shining with excitement. "Dad! Is this really our house?"
Xu Dahai laughed heartily. "That’s right! This is our new home. Your mother is still at the stall, but we plan to open the shop in the front after the New Year to sell clothes. We’ll order more stock, and the back is where we’ll live. We’ll head back to the village for the Spring Festival to visit some relatives, but then we’re coming straight back here. Remember, don’t tell anyone in the village about us building this new place. We don’t want people tracking us down to ask questions or trying to borrow money when we return."
