Spring Festival arrived amidst this ongoing cold.
She started her holiday on New Year's Eve, a rare occurrence, getting days off until the third day of the new year. She had already planned a visit to Yueyue's hometown, knowing well that train tickets would be hard to come by during the New Year rush, so she booked them in advance.
On New Year's Eve, she got up early.
She had learned to manage household affairs from a young age, imitating her elders. She understood that the New Year is a more grand and lively occasion than normal days, and the lonelier one feels, the more they yearn for bustle; the colder it is, the more they crave grandeur.
Isn't it true that the more one lacks, the more they want to possess?
Thus, their New Year celebration was always bustling, with a grand feast on New Year's Eve that always lasted them a week.
This habit had continued over the years, and this year was no exception.
