CRACKLE! POP! POP!
Suddenly, a series of firecracker sounds erupted from the street outside the house; it wasn't just one family setting them off, but several.
"Hmm?"
Li Ang, somewhat curious, put down his newspaper. He got up, walked to the courtyard, and opened the door to look outside. He noticed that some shops across the street had hung up lanterns and tied colorful ribbons, clearly preparing for a festival.
He walked back to the living room and sat down, wondering, "Is there a festival coming up soon?"
"Yes, the Qixiao Festival is in three days," Chai Chai and Galuo said in unison.
"Eh?"
Li Ang blinked. The Qixiao Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, could be traced back to the Ancient Times and the worship of Star Constellations. Women would pray to the Weaver for skillful hands, a happy marriage, and a harmonious family, holding various activities.
