The New Year visits went smoothly.
On the first day of the New Year, no one wore a frown, even if their hearts were unhappy for some reason, it would not show on their faces. In such a joyous and peaceful day, when everyone wore smiles and blessings were never far from their lips, the most adept at dishing out extravagant praises among the Jiang family's younger generation were naturally the most welcomed.
There were no set times for lunch or dinner on New Year's Day; it was a day of eating wherever you stopped by, going from house to house. If you couldn't finish, you could simply take it with you.
The only slight disappointment was at the village chief's home, where the sunflower seeds and flaky pastries were too delicious; everyone got so caught up in cracking seeds and munching pastries that by the time they returned home with stuffed bellies, it was already dark outside.
