The first day, after everything at home was tidied up, they lit the stove and had a meal, planning to greet the neighbors and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner the next day.
Yang PeiMin brought out the new clothes for the family, and everyone changed from head to toe.
The most eye-catching was still Lele, dressed as a child making New Year's visits, wearing a tiger hat and red cotton jacket and pants, with his chubby little face extremely adorable.
Having a child meant that people were more likely to engage in lengthy conversations.
It seemed that distance made the heart grow fonder, and Yang PeiMin felt quite popular. Although it had been long since they had seen each other, everyone had changed more or less, mostly for the better, whether in terms of awareness or living conditions. She had also met a few new Military Wives, from the city and the countryside alike, and with her child, she seemed to blend in better with the atmosphere.
