In previous years, the Qin Family Breakfast Shop didn't operate during the New Year.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, they would open to sell breakfast for the last day. By 9 o'clock, whether they sold out or not, they would tidy up and close shop, clean the house, and head back to the countryside with large bags of New Year goods and luggage to celebrate the festivities.
Mr. Qin and Granny Qin only had two children, Qin Congwen and Qin Xiuli, which was considered very few offspring for their time. Qin Congwen only had an adopted son, Qin Huai, and a biological daughter, Qin Luo, while Qin Xiuli had only one son, He Cheng.
