It's already early December, and Xiao Ruo doesn't know if they will be able to make it back to Houling Village for New Year's Eve. So, she asks Fu Hanwen to first send a letter to Gu Tong, instructing him to prepare the New Year's goods. They, on the other hand, travel day and night towards Houling Village.
Sometimes, when they're tired, they just enter the space to rest. Resting in the space for four hours leaves them even more refreshed than sleeping a whole night outside. Moreover, when Fu Hanwen drives the carriage, Xiao Ruo spends the whole day in the space, preparing meals which she keeps warm in the pot. The food is quite good.
So when they finally reach Houling Village on the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, both of them are still quite energetic.
Since it was late at night, they quietly returned to the Fu Family Courtyard without disturbing the villagers.
