Back in the city, it was around ten in the morning.
At this time, the city was gradually becoming lively again, as people who went home for the New Year returned to the city.
Although Lian City is just a fourth-tier small town, the pedestrian street, the only place that can be called a commercial center, was particularly bustling today.
The shops on both sides of the street had opened their doors early, with promotional signs placed at their entrances.
The faces of the passersby were filled with the joy of the New Year; children were laughing and running, holding newly bought snacks or toys; adults walked while looking at the goods on the street, occasionally stopping to enter a store and pick out something.
A crowd had gathered in front of a stall selling sugar-fried chestnuts on the street, with the sweet fragrance of the steaming chestnuts spreading around.
