After a busy day, it was time to head back to Beijing.

In the early morning, I decided to travel through Changsha instead of the original plan to Beijing. We visited Xiaoyan’s aunt at the hospital, where we were relieved to find her recovering well.

Later, Hamer and I had a great time playing with her co... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/02/09/235440.html

The Last Day at Home: A Warm Farewell

This morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the weather felt perfect. I brought my uncle outside to walk and soak up the warmth.

After lunch, I took my mom and Hamer into town to buy groceries for dumplings and snacks for our train ride. In the afternoon, the sun... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/02/08/214521.html

I woke up late today after staying up watching Family Matters, making the day feel much shorter. In the morning, my dad kept calling for me repeatedly, which frustrated me.

In the afternoon, I napped while Hamer went to town with her aunt, returning happily with new toys. Later, I struggled while changing... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/02/07/213543.html

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we visited family and friends in the village, starting from Grandma’s house and ending at my cousin’s. The day was filled with warmth and laughter.

The sun was intense in the afternoon, and the courtyard was lively with chatter and laughter. In the evening, I was su... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/01/30/003339.html

Lunar New Year’s Eve was filled with traditions and joy. I started the day early, exploring DeepSeeK and enjoying a serene frost-covered morning.

The kids helped put up Spring Festival couplets, taking pride in the tradition. After lunch, I drove Xiaoyan and the kids to town and later played chess with Do... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/01/29/021139.html

Beneath a cerulean sky, children reveled amidst the fields; their laughter crystallized in the amber glow of the setting sun.

On this sunny 28th day of the lunar month, we gathered at home for New Year’s preparations.

In the morning, I practiced driving a manual car, gradually gaining confidence despite some initial stalling. After lunch, I drove my sisters to town and back, improving but still finding intersections tricky.

When I got up this morning, there lay a blanket of white frost - both chilling and picturesque.

After the rain stopped, the house felt calm and refreshing.

I took my uncle for his IV treatment and picked up a package at a chaotic delivery station. In the afternoon, I played cards for a while before Yaoyao, Sisi, Hanghang came over because they were worried about their Mom. Later, I picked up bicycle... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/01/26/224711.html

The kids were eating noodles together, and even Yoyo was eating by herself.

The six people sat around to watch one phone.

My mom joined her granddaughters in riding bicycles around the car.

The two busiest people in my family: Mom cooks, and Dad assists.

Rain made the day chilly and inconvenient, but it was filled with family moments.

After taking my uncle to the hospital for a quick IV session, I returned home for Mom’s noodles, which Hamer and Coco adored, each finishing two bowls. In the afternoon, I spent time with Yoyo and practiced driving before he... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/01/25/232443.html

A warm welcome to Xiaoyan back home last night. https://puran.blog/2025/01/26/a-warm-welcome-to-xiaoyan.html

The two sisters really enjoyed their noodles after adding some spice.

My uncle’s hands are covered in bruises from having too many injections.

This morning, I went to the hospital to take over for my dad, who’s been caring for my uncle during his IV treatment. Dad wasn’t feeling well and was found to have high blood pressure, so he decided to get an IV drip himself. The hospital’s basic conditions and elderly rural patients left me feeling reflec... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/01/24/222954.html

Hamer sat by the window with her headphones on, softly singing along and looking so grown-up. https://puran.blog/2025/01/24/hamer-sat-by-the-window.html

Today, I traveled from Beijing to Yueyang to pick up Hamer, and together we continued to Yingtan. The journey home was smooth yet eventful, with Hamer impressing me by carrying her own luggage the entire way and saying heartfelt goodbyes to her playmates before she left Yueyang.

At home, we were warmly we... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/01/24/001159.html
