Which Wish for Which Journey

Close the stall for the holiday: be asked if you are going home for New Year, say you leave by fast train, hear Boss Huang will mind the stall, wish everyone an early happy New Year, be told to come back often, tell Grandpa Guan to take good care, hear the wish for a train, and say until we meet again.
