From dawn to dusk, the Wu Residence bustled with activity, putting together several tables of feasts – one for Wufu and Madam Zhou, mother and daughter, another for the maids. The guests were separated by gender, each table served with fitting drinks. Wufu delivered the conventional Year-End Celebration speech and acknowledged everyone's hard work throughout the year. He also announced that this month's monthly money would be doubled, which spurred a round of applause and endless compliments. Toasts flew back and forth as everyone joyously partook in the reunion meal.
This was Wufu's first year in this world. Seeing everyone's smiling faces, the corners of her mouth curled up as well. Suddenly, she remembered her previous life where on New Year's Day, she would either be on a mission, traveling around the world, or carving in her workshop.
