On New Year's Eve, Cheng Su was awakened by the sound of firecrackers early in the morning, and when she reached out beside her, Qi Taiguo had already gone back to the army, as usual.
Now that he's been promoted to deputy battalion commander, his role involves assisting with the battalion commander's duties. Whether it's New Year's leave or holiday readiness, he has more responsibilities to handle.
Cheng Su rolled around in the warm bed for a while before getting up to wash up and make breakfast.
In their building, every household's front door was tightly shut, but all had new red couplets pasted on them. The same was true for Hualing's family, with an upside-down "Fu" character pasted on their door.
That day, after she and Hualing went shopping, Chen Shouwang put them up because on New Year's Eve, Hualing was going back to her parents' home for the celebration.
