After finishing with Ding Anmin's wedding, Li Hongying put all her energy into buying New Year's goods and cleaning the house thoroughly.
She put new sheets and duvet covers on all the family's beds, washed and rehung the curtains, and cleaned every nook and cranny, even scraping away the cobwebs in the corners. The house was filled to the brim with chicken, duck, fish, meat, nuts, and candies she purchased.
Yi Roujing was never really interested in celebrating New Year's. In her past life, she would avoid going home if she could, and during the holidays, she would volunteer for hospital duty to keep herself busy. Nobody ever called her to invite her back for the New Year's Eve dinner, so to her, the New Year was just a name without much meaning.
Even visiting relatives was more of a business exchange, without any genuine family concern—mostly just relatives trying to see what benefits they could get from you. Yi Roujing quickly saw through it and grew tired of it.
