Once New Year's Day was over, it was time for the Spring Festival.
This year, Lu Yuan didn't celebrate it with Sun Siwen.
Though they were friends, they were not family, and the Spring Festival was meant to be spent with family.
It was also a good time for him to enjoy some alone time.
On the second day of the first month, it was time to visit friends and relatives.
Lu Yuan didn't have many relatives, but aside from Sun Siwen, he had a few friends like Blacksmith Sun Six and others. So, visiting their homes was his only option.
As they were all neighbors, maintaining a good relationship was important, so he brought along a few strips of bacon to give as gifts during his visits.
By the time he returned home, he had received quite a few red envelopes and thank-you gifts.
On the third day, Lu Yuan went to the county town.
