Chapter 623 A Special New Year

• That year marked the most heartwarming New Year I had ever experienced at home! I woke up at four in the morning and lit firecrackers at the entrance, creating a hundred loud bangs.
• I recalled that in the past, setting off firecrackers was a significant event reserved for Dad and Billy. One would handle the firecrackers with a bamboo stick, while the other would ignite the fuse. In this thrilling and courageous manner, they asserted their roles within the family.
• Now, they are both gone, and I have taken on the role of the head of the household; amidst the festive firecrackers, I suddenly felt a tinge of sadness, mourning the absence of family members. If they were still alive, perhaps I could have fostered better relationships within the family through my efforts.
