Gong Ruini yawned, curled up on the sofa reading a book, "Ah, if I had known New Year's Eve would be this quiet, I might as well have gone to class."
According to Gong Ruini's plan, since she wasn't going out for class, she should have gone somewhere, like to Chinatown.
Even though they had bought a lot of things for the New Year, with big red lanterns hung up and window decorations pasted, it truly had a festive vibe.
But there just wasn't enough hustle and bustle, which made Gong Ruini remember how lively it was at home every New Year.
On New Year's Eve, no matter who it was, no matter what important event was happening outside, no one would go out socializing — everyone would go to the market early to buy fresh vegetables.
The whole family would get involved, frying meatballs, cooking a lavish New Year's Eve dinner, and preparing dumpling fillings for midnight.
