Eating Dumplings on the First Day of the New Year

After the New Year, it would be the first day of the Lunar New Year.

According to the rules passed down in Stoneback Village, it was the first breakfast of the Lunar New Year. It had to be cooked by the men at home. Women could sleep until late and could not wake up earlier than men. Otherwise, they would be despised.

Even if she woke up early and went to the public toilet, she would be scolded if anyone saw her.

This was clearly discriminatory against women.

Of course, this rule changed a lot with the evolution of the times. Women were no longer scolded whichever time they woke up although there were some old fogeys who would curse when they saw women wake up early.

Even so, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding. Perhaps they were used to men waking up early.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first meal was vegetarian.
