The children all replied in unison and then went out together. Outside, people were already strolling around; the first day of the Lunar New Year was the time for mutual New Year's greetings. On every path in the village, there were people walking, each and every one of them dressed in new clothes, with smiling faces. Everyone who met would wish each other a happy new year.
The children naturally visited the homes next door, and each family would offer them sunflower seeds and candy as treats. In no time at all, the pockets of the children's clothing would be filled with candy. During the New Year, the children were truly the happiest of all.
Jinghan took a piece of candy from her pocket, put it in her mouth, and the sweet flavor made her squint her eyes with pleasure. How wonderful it would be if she could live like this every day, she thought to herself.
