Chapter 118: Receiving Red Packets

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Yu Bing and Jiang Chun were woken up by the sound of firecrackers in the village. After getting up, the two of them washed up and also set off a string of firecrackers at the door before opening the courtyard door.

At this time, the firecrackers were different from yesterday's. Setting off firecrackers on the first day of the new year were a way to pray that everything would go smoothly this year, that the farmers would have abundant grains, and also herald the arrival of new spring, when everything would be full of vitality.

Yu Bing and Jiang Chun put the pastries, candy biscuits, and the dates that Xiao Lin had specifically picked in the mountains a few days ago into the bamboo basket. If anyone came to visit, they had to offer these snacks as refreshments.

It was a tradition to visit relatives and friends during the new year.
