In the town, other people's wives and children help with the cleaning, so they tidy up the house by late morning and then spend the afternoon enjoying the festival with the family and the New Year's goods their fathers and husbands bring home.
However, Lu Yuan is a bachelor and has no one to help with household chores.
So, after being busy all morning, he still had to work in the afternoon, tirelessly cleaning the house.
Fortunately, he lived alone, and there wasn't much stuff in his house. Besides a few pieces of furniture, the kitchen was the only area that needed a lot of cleaning, as he cooked often and had many stains. It was relatively easy to clean up.
After an hour, he finished cleaning and dumped the last bucket of dirty water in the yard. Lu Yuan wiped his sweat and sighed with relief.
"Finally done."
He turned and looked at the freshly cleaned room behind him, a smile appearing on his face.
