New Year's Day.
As the saying goes, "New year, new beginnings," Xiao Fei made a point of getting up extra early.
Getting dressed, brushing his teeth.
After glancing at his still-sleeping wife and three children, Xiao Fei went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the entire family.
Back in Chuanyu, the amount of breakfast he had to prepare was larger than usual.
Besides his wife and kids, he also had to prepare breakfast for both sets of parents.
Opportunities like this were rare—just a handful of times in an entire year.
Still, Xiao Fei was more than happy to do what he could for his family.
Before breakfast was done, Mrs. Tang had already gotten up.
Hearing the sounds from the kitchen, she walked over and saw Xiao Fei busy at work.
"Mom, why not sleep a little longer?"
"I'm used to waking up early. Once the clock hits a certain time, I can't stay asleep."
As she said this, Mrs. Tang watched the busy Xiao Fei with an increasingly satisfied look.
