 Li Mo and Gu Changlin woke up at seven o'clock on the morning of the New Year's Eve, and the family members also woke up one after another. I had sticky bean buns for breakfast. My sister-in-law took out the frozen bean buns from the snow outside and warmed them up.

  After having breakfast, the family locked the door and went to Gu Shou's house in mighty force. There are too many people in the family. A few years ago, Gu Shou specially called a few brothers and built a big house in the yard together. I usually pile things up, and it happens to be a New Year meal for everyone during the Chinese New Year.

  For the New Year's meal, every family brought some grains, meat, and vegetables to Gu Shou's family per capita.

  The men sat in the house and chatted over the fire, the women made lunch in the kitchen, and the children were outside playing in the snow and eating sunflower seeds.

  Three generations of women were busy in and out of the kitchen together, and Li Mo was assigned a good job as a new wife. Burn the fire in front of the stove, there are two stoves in total.

  The women of my aunt and his generation are responsible for cooking and cooking, while the daughters-in-law of Li Mo and his generation wash and cut vegetables.

  Some of the daughter-in-laws of the next generation take their children, and some come to help in the kitchen. As for the young girls who are not married, they help out in the kitchen.

  The Gu Tietou couple and the Gu Fu generation ate at an ordinary table on the kang, and the juniors ate at two large round tables made by Gu Fu. Today there is no distinction between men and women, and couples sit together.

  After the New Year dinner, everyone sat in the room and listened to Gu Tietou's words. After that, the radio at home came in handy, and even the children stopped making noise and listened attentively.

  This radio has been bought for a long time, and it was bought from Nanjing when Gu Changlin was in college. At that time, the free market hadn't officially started yet, and the free market had disappeared.

  Gu Changlin worked hard to find a radio ticket, spent all his savings, and borrowed a lot of money from his classmates to buy a radio for Gu Tietou.

  Gu Tietou couldn't cherish it, and he wouldn't let anyone move. He has to follow him when he comes to borrow the radio in the village. This radio is still like new now.

  After listening to the broadcast for an hour, everyone went out to play, and the old men and old ladies swarmed in groups.

  Gu Changlin took Li Mo around the village to let her know the people in the village and familiarize her with the scenery of the village.

  After he left, Li Mo was unfamiliar in the village alone. How pitiful he was thinking about it.

  "Momo, you see there is also a river in our village. When I was a child, I used to catch fish here. There were not many fish here, and it seemed that they didn't grow up. Once I caught a triple-double crucian carp. I was very happy. "

  Li Mo imagined the scene. The naked Gu Changlin ran home happily after catching a fish in the river. How ridiculous.

  "What happened to this fish then?"

  "I took this fish to find grandma. Grandma made a big pot of fish soup and we ate it as a family."

  After walking for a while, he saw an old ginkgo tree again. Gu Changlin told Li Mo, "We often come here to play when we were young, especially in spring when the ginkgo tree bears fruit, we will go back to make soup and drink. Adults are not allowed to pick more. In autumn, the ginkgo will be ripe. Take it back and fry it and it's very fragrant when you peel it off."
