The morning of New Year's Day is quite busy.
Xu Lin got up very early.
Like the old man and Ms. Ren, they also got up to work before dawn.
There was still worshiping to do in the morning, while Ms. Ren took care of some household chores.
According to the usual tradition, Ms. Ren also made a bowl of sweet dumplings in the morning.
After Xu Lin and Rong Xiyi got up, Ms. Ren saw them and gave each of them two red envelopes. These were from Ms. Ren and Xu Cheng, all given at once.
"May you be prosperous!"
Xu Lin gladly accepted the red envelopes.
Rong Xiyi also happily said, "Mom, may you be prosperous and healthy!"
Then she said to Xu Cheng, who was preparing offerings, "Uncle, may you be prosperous and healthy!"
"Sure, the same to you."
Xu Cheng responded as he continued with his tasks.
It was still dark, but from the commune, there were already bursts of firecrackers, obviously someone else started even earlier.
