On the third day of the New Year, the Old Mu Family's fourth household—
Ever since they left the village, the Old Mu Family in the county has been the only branch.
Even during the holidays, there aren't many relatives or friends to visit, let alone receiving New Year greetings.
Feeling extremely bored at home, Mu Dajiang went out to work early.
After resting for two days, Mu Xiaxia also went out to work.
The county is different from the town; typically, shops in the town open after the eighth day of the New Year.
But in the county, they can open from the second day of the New Year.
Thus, the fourth household left Mrs. Liu alone at home to do household chores and take care of Xiao Chu, who was not yet four years old.
Early on the third day, Mrs. Liu began washing the clothes everyone had accumulated over several days.
She took a big wooden basin and threw all the clothes she needed to wash into it.
