Soon New Year's Eve arrived. Gantang and Gan Wei got up early in the morning, and right after breakfast, they started putting up the Spring Festival couplets, mopping the floor, and taking out the trash.
Tomorrow was the first day of the lunar new year. According to local custom here, sweeping the floor and taking out the trash were forbidden on New Year's Day, so all these chores had to be finished today.
Since the New Year's Eve dinner would be served early this evening, they just had a simple bite for lunch.
