After playing for a while, the outside became increasingly lively. Little Qingyu put down the firecrackers and ran to the courtyard gate with a mask in hand to watch. She found that everyone had already started celebrating, and she became anxious. She hurried back to the gate and stomped her foot at the two adults who were still drinking inside: "Mother! Mother! Have you finished eating? Can we go now?"
"Where to go?" Lin Wanwan, feeling slightly tipsy after drinking a few glasses of champagne, with her face flushed, propped herself up on the dining table and stood up, rubbing her dizzy forehead. She asked, "It's so lively outside, what's happening?"
"They're dancing, Mother!"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "The lady used to live in the mountains, so she probably doesn't know the folk customs. On New Year's Eve, everyone performs ceremonial dances and exorcisms. I have already prepared worn-out brooms and little shoes for the young girls at home."
