It was getting late, and after dinner, everyone went their separate ways home. At departure, there were naturally all sorts of polite exchanges, and Liang Zi's mother even stayed till the end, her face flushed as she spoke to Lin Yuan. Feeling the simplicity of Liang Zi's parents, Lin Yuan's smile grew even wider.
In ancient times, people generally celebrated New Year until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival. Therefore, Lin Yuan planned to open for business on the sixteenth.
However, considering that business would surely boom on the day of the Lantern Festival, Loudmouth suggested opening a few days earlier, and Chen's Sister-in-law agreed.
Mo Sanniang also mentioned that the shops in town usually opened on the tenth day, so Lin Yuan decided to move up the date. Of course, if anyone had things to attend to at home, they could come after the sixteenth or ask for leave on the fifteenth.
