On the twelfth lunar month, Aunt Zhao, who lives in Beijing, received a New Year's goods package sent to her by her eldest daughter from the website.
Although my daughter is abroad, she cannot return to China during the Spring Festival due to family reasons. However, as an online shopping expert, after careful calculations, she successfully allowed merchants from all over the world to unify the arrival time to two days. My mother only went out to pick up twice and got all the New Year's goods that she wanted.
The daughter told her mother only a day before the goods arrived. Aunt Zhao said that the refrigerators and refrigerators at home are full, and there is a large New Year's goods not far from the community. It is very convenient for you to buy anything, so don't buy anything.
The daughter said that because there are so many things now, we have to dig into finding something different.
"Specifically, the principle is to find some good things from other people's hometown - if you eat something small, your emotional value should be great."
When talking about the New Year's goods sent to your mother, my daughter has put a little effort into it: "Every kind of gift has meaning! Take care of every detail!" Even numbers are the tradition of giving gifts in my hometown, and "four" means "everything goes well".
What four things did my daughter choose?
First of all, there are Spring Festival couplets from the Forbidden City. As a national first-class cultural relics protection unit, the Palace Museum has recently enjoyed the people, exquisite and elegant, and in line with the trend, and has been unanimously loved by Chinese at home and abroad. The blessings from the Forbidden City are naturally good gifts for my mother. Secondly, the local cured meat gift box from the Yangtze River. Aunt Zhao is from the south. Although in recent years, she has lived in the north with her younger daughter, she misses food from the south a little during festivals. Third, the date mud walnut cake from my son-in-law’s hometown symbolizes the care and greetings of the big family. Fourth, the pumpkin seeds from Aunt Zhao’s countryside brought her memories of her youth.
Aunt Zhao was born in the 1950s. She witnessed her grandparents and parents preparing New Year’s goods, and when she was young, she also prepared New Year’s goods for her children. Now that the children have grown up, they have begun to accept the New Year’s goods they have sent. Looking back on the history of New Year’s goods over the years, Aunt Zhao is very moved.
