A Strange Knock

Another week flew by and as the Lunar New Year drew closer, many corporations started to break for the new year. It was the 23rd of the 12th month in the lunar calendar and early that morning, Shu Man and her mother went to the market that sold New Year goods and purchased quite a few items. They mainly bought fruits and some snacks as well as some chicken, duck, and fish. These were the basic goods that every family would buy before the Lunar New Year. 

Her sister had even given them a lot of seafood and fruits yesterday, so they prepared even more than usual for this Lunar New Year. 

Both Shu Man and her mother wore masks that covered their mouths it was already late morning by the time they returned with a trolley full of goods.
