Chapter 648 Meddling

On New Year's Eve morning, the sound of firecrackers was incessant, and they were all a big bunch of firecrackers, which seemed to last an especially long time. By around seven o'clock, the noise of the firecrackers had reached a climax, with the whole town's firecrackers echoing ceaselessly through the clouds.

If you lived in the town, it was impossible to sleep in with the firecrackers going off all around—it's not as if people weren't setting them off at midnight, but the town didn't have much nightlife, and everyone was used to going to bed early, with many not even staying up to see the end of the Spring Festival Gala.

At this time, not many people were sleeping in. The students, who were usually the most sleep-loving, were accustomed to waking up around five in the morning for school. During the holidays, this habit was hard to break; they would wake up on time at five and couldn't linger in bed for too long before getting up to eat.
