Hustle and bustle of families and children were around them. It was still bright and early, but everyone was either singing, dancing or lighting up the fireworks to participate in the festivities.
The young and the elderlies were looking bright and cheerful as they spent their days hanging out with their loved ones. Lunar New Year songs were played in every household as the doors to everybody's houses were opened to welcome friends and families who wanted to visit. Hampers of snacks and herbal drinks were exchanged with one another.
This was the third New Year celebration that Shao Yan had had ever since she was back in Shanghai. When she just got back from New York, Qi Ling brought her to spend the New Year week with her family back in her hometown.
The second year, the two women spent their days together while staying put in Shanghai because Qi Ling was sick. They ended up binging a lot of South Korean drama series while staying cooped at home.
