Traditions and Customs

Su Binglan smiled and nodded. In the past, she would still be a little dazed whenever she woke up in the morning. However, she was wide awake this time.

She turned to look at Luo Jin'an when she heard his voice. Then her eyes shined as she said, "It's the New Year."

"Yes, it is." Luo Jin'an smiled back at her.

Su Binglan became spirited and smiled. Her eyes lit up as she said, "The firecrackers were loud just now."

"Did they wake you?" Luo Jin'an asked.

It was still early, and the sun was just beginning to brighten. Since Su Binglan gave her shop and factory workers a vacation, she would not have to wake up so early.

She shook her head and said, "No, the firecrackers tell me it's real."

"What's real?" Luo Jin'an's eyes were gentle as he looked at his wife.

"The feeling of the New Year, that's what. Think about it. It won't feel like New Year if you don't set off firecrackers, right? They're what brings the excitement and joy."
