Gu Jiaojiao was woken by the sound of firecrackers. She opened her eyes to see the man beside her sleeping soundly.
In reality, Su Shuochi had been awake for a while. The moment he saw his wife starting to stir, he quickly shut his eyes and feigned sleep.
But the sharp-witted Gu Jiaojiao didn't notice her husband was awake. Her eyes still half-closed, she reached out and gave him a push.
"Su Shuochi, wake up. I told you not to go on so late last night. See? Other families are already eating."
"You're awake, honey? Are you tired?"
"How can you even ask? Hurry up and get out of bed, or Erya will be knocking on our door again!"
"She won't come knocking today," Su Shuochi said confidently.
He'd told Erya and her brother yesterday that if they came knocking again in the morning, they wouldn't get any red envelope money.
"Why not?"
"Because kids love the New Year. They've gone off to play with firecrackers."
