Kapitel 250: New Year After the Laba Festival

Time passed quickly.

Chinese New Year was a festival that was celebrated annually in Shao Nation. Every family was looking forward to this day. In order to welcome this day, people would make many preparations. For example, shopping for new year goods, pasting couplets in the house, hanging lanterns, buying firecrackers, and making dumplings. Also there were new clothes that all children looked forward to the most. Of course, for the new year, there had to be a reunion dinner.

There was a folk saying that goes like this, "Children, children, don't be greedy. After the Laba Festival¹, it will be the New Year."

After the Laba Festival, the villagers in Peach Blossom Village slowly got busy. Even those who hardly stepped out of their houses, were headed out to the county city to shop for New Year goods.
