Su Binglan smiled and nodded. In the past, she would still be a little dazed whenever she woke up in the morning. However, she was wide awake this time.

She turned to look at Luo Jin’an when she heard his voice. Then her eyes s.h.i.+ned as she said, “It’s the New Year.’

“Yes, it is.” Luo Jin’an smiled back at her.

Su Binglan became spirited and smiled. Her eyes lit up as she said, “The firecrackers were loud just now.”

“Did they wake you?” Luo Jin’an asked.

It was still early, and the sun was just beginning to brighten. Since Su Binglan gave her shop and factory workers a vacation, she would not have to wake up so early.

She shook her head and said, “No, the firecrackers tell me it’s real.’

“What’s real?” Luo Jin’an’s eyes were gentle as he looked at his wife.

“The feeling of the New Year, that’s what. Think about it. It won’t feel like New Year if you don’t set off firecrackers, right? They’re what brings the excitement and joy.”

Su Binglan preferred festivals with fold traditions. She liked setting off firecrackers, putting up couplets, and hanging lanterns around the house’s exterior. It made her heart feel warm.

Still, the most important thing to her was having her family and husband beside her. Only then would she feel a sense of fulfillment.

Luo Jin’an felt that what his wife said was right. In the past, he had spent most of his time at the border and rarely spent the New Year with loved ones.

Therefore, he did not have a deep impression of the celebrations.

However, he would spend the New Year with his wife in Su Teng Village. So he felt the spirit of the holidays more than ever.

Later, everyone went shopping for firecrackers, made noodles at home, wrote couplets, and pasted them at their entrances.

While walking along the village’s tiny streets, one could see red couplets at every household, giving the whole village a lively feel. It also made people feel more relaxed.

Luo Jin’an thought, ‘Yes, this New Year is much more festive than the last. That’s why I like it here. If it weren’t for the responsibilities on my shoulders, I’d want to retire here with Bing and live a peaceful life together. I feel an indescribable sense of warmth here.’

“The sound of the firecrackers was right beside my ears just now. It jolted me awake, but I don’t mind it.’

Luo Jin’an smiled at Su Binglan and responded, “Last night, Father-in-law said we should wake up early to set off firecrackers.”

Su Fengmao had bought plenty of firecrackers this year.

Su Binglan said, “Yeah, Father loves firecrackers. Since our living conditions were less fortunate in the past, he could barely afford any.

“He would buy two strings of them at most and set off one on New Year’s Eve and one on the first day of the year. Father bought more than enough this year and plans to set them off till his heart’s content.

“Just wait. Father will set them all off from now until nighttime. Hey, we can watch the firecrackers together, Jin’an.”

Luo Jin’an saw how excited his wife was and said dotingly, “All right.”

Su Binglan got off the bed as she talked to Luo Jin’an, “The bed feels so nice and warm. No wonder everyone wants to sleep in.”

Luo Jin’an had inserted plenty of coal under the brick bed the night before, but no matter how much he put, the bed would not be too hot to sleep on.

He even woke up late at night to add some firewood underneath so the bed would retain its heat and stay warm until morning.

Su Binglan never noticed Luo Jin’an doing that. She would always fall asleep quickly because of how warm and comfortable the bed was.

Luo Jin’an did not want his wife to do much today, so he said, “Sleep more if you want to.”

He knew Su Binglan had slept rather late last night.

“But it’s New Year’s Day, so I want to be up nice and early. I’ll also have to help Mother prepare lunch after breakfast.

Their tradition was to have sumptuous meals from noon onward. The family planned to make fish and chicken dishes for lunch.

“Oh, we should wear our new clothes for the celebrations.” Su Binglan had already bought and prepared new clothes for her family. Luo Jin’an said, “I’ll go and get them.”

“They’re in the cabinet,” Su Binglan pointed as she spoke.

She had hired someone to make the clothes for her. The clothes not only had lovely styles and patterns, but they also kept her warm.

Luo Jin’an got off the brick bed and took the new clothes from the cabinet.

Afterward, Su binglan opened the bag and said, “This set is yours, and these are mine. Let’s wear them today.”

It was customary to wear new clothes during the New Year. Although Su Binglan had bought custom clothes for everyone, they differed from what the family had grown accustomed to wearing.

The colors she and Luo Jin’an wore this time were more vibrant and festive. “Put them on and have a look,” Su Binglan said while handing the clothes to her husband.

Luo Jin’an looked at the purplish-red clothes and then at Su Binglan as if asking for confirmation.

Su Binglan understood the look in his eyes and said, “Try them on.”

Luo Jin’an typically wore single-colored clothes in the past. They were either black, white, or bamboo-colored.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an as he felt the fabric. Luo Jin’an knew his wife had custom designed the clothes for him.

Su Binglan knew ordinary people could not pull off such a vibrant color, but she knew her husband would look perfect. She felt a sense of antic.i.p.ation as she looked at him holding the clothes.

Luo Jin’an looked into his wife’s eyes and helplessly shook his head, thinking, ‘It’s fine as long as she’s happy.’

He was about to go to the other room to change, but Su Binglan said, “We’re husband and wife. Do you need to go to another room to change?”

Luo Jin’an blushed for the first time. He felt embarra.s.sed to change in front of Su Binglan.

Su Binglan noticed her husband blus.h.i.+ng and thought it was amusing. She asked smilingly, “Did you forget how you used to flirt with me?”

She remembered Luo Jin’an teasing her occasionally and knew a more profound meaning was behind it. Now that she had regained her memories, she was no longer as shy as before.

Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan helplessly and raised his eyebrows. “Are you surer

Su Binglan cleared her throat and stammered, “Y-Yes, I’m sure.”

Immediately after, Luo Jin’an changed before Su Binglan, and the latter’s heart pounded.

‘Is he teasing me?!

When their eyes met, Su Binglan felt like his gaze could take her soul away. Luo Jin’an’s fair skin contrasted with his long, black hair. The visual impact made Su Binglan’s heart skip a beat..
