This year was the wealthiest year her family had ever had, Liang Hongmei happily cut five pounds of meat and gave two pounds to Little Grandmother's family.
Sticky rice cakes were mixed with red beans and candied dates. They were delicious. Little Grandmother also liked them; her mom made a lot. This was considered the best holiday snacks for New Year.
Lin Wan learned that S City was particularly cold, and her brother's classmate's mom made a set of cotton clothes, costing eight yuan. The family had cotton, so Lin Wan made another set of cotton clothes for her brother.
Mom also made a pair of cotton shoes for her brother.
While others visited relatives, their family stayed home to make clothes for her brother.
When Great Aunt Liang Weixiang came over from Little Grandmother's house, she didn't invite them. She knew, Great Aunt didn't like their family. She and Mom wouldn't go annoying people unnecessarily.
