On that day, our family was as lively as the Chinese New Year. Early in the morning, my mother pulled me out of bed. It was early spring, the sky was bright, and except for the annoying rooster that kept crowing, even the sun hadn't shown its face yet. Naturally, I couldn't bear to leave the warm bed. I was like a naked fish, dodging my mother's extended hand left and right on the bed. Mother said, stop making trouble and get up quickly, your father is coming back today.
