In the material realm of Donghua Region, people were accustomed to treating the New Year's crossover as a special festival.
As the New Year approached, regardless of whether they had been busy at work or with their studies, they would always take a few days off to spend the turn of the year with their families.
This was why, when December was nearing its end and Fangting City was covered in ice and snow, schools and workplaces alike welcomed a break of several days.
"A holiday?"
However, not everyone was pleased with the idea of a holiday. At least for Yuan, it wasn't considered good news: "What do you mean, no work for the next few days, and no wages either?"
"Yeah, everyone should go home for the New Year."
The middle-aged man, clad in construction attire and a hard hat, exhaled, his breath slowly rising in the cold air: "I know you like to work, but it's that time of the year. You should spend some time at home with your family, with your parents, boyfriend or whatever."
