The First Day
Our family was getting ready to welcome Grandma and Grandpa for their annual visit. Mum had made a list to ensure everything was perfect. I volunteered to clean the windows, saying, “I want them to see the garden clearly!” My little brother Teng Fei decided to water the plants in the living room and hang up new family photos. “Grandma loves seeing our memories on the wall,” he explained. Dad checked the clock in the guest room and realized it was broken. “I will fix it before they arrive,” he said. Mum added, “Let’s place a comfortable chair by the window. Grandma enjoys reading there with her tea.”
The Second Day
The next day, the family started working together. I carefully wiped the windows until they shone like mirrors. Teng Fei hung up the photos and watered the plants. Dad repaired the clock and hung it back. At the same time, Mum cleaned the guest room. “This isn’t just clean—it is Grandma clean!” she joked. Teng Fei laughed and said, “Grandma would notice every detail!” By evening, the house looked warm and inviting, filled with fresh flowers and the smell of homemade biscuits.
The Get-together Day
When Grandma and Grandpa arrived, they were happy. Grandma sat in the new chair by the window and smiled. “This felt just like home,” she said. Grandpa admired the clock and joked, “Now I won’t miss teatime!” At dinner, the family shared stories, and Mum served her famous soup. “The familiar taste of home,” Grandpa remarked. Before leaving, Grandma hugged everyone and whispered, “Home isn’t a place—it is being with you.”
