With Ji Huan and Dabao moving into their new home, the Hu Family's business was also put on hold.
The younger students at the academy were all on holiday; only those who were to take the county-level examination next year were kept behind by their teachers.
Without exception, all the students who were singled out by the teachers for special cultivation shared one common trait: they were so dedicated they would forget to eat and sleep.
It was inevitable that the breakfast business would be affected, so Widow Xie thought they might as well just close up shop. It would be a good chance to let the children rest and also to do some New Year's shopping.
Widow Xie wanted Ji Huan and Dabao to celebrate the New Year with the Hu Family, but after some thought, Ji Huan declined. She and Dabao had finally gotten a home that was truly their own, and she wanted to spend their first New Year in it.
However, the two families did their New Year's shopping together.
