I love this warm Spring Festival!
Cold! Very cold! Extremely cold! It had turned cloudier and colder since the 15th, January. And icy rain had come without any invitation. It is not welcomed when the Spring Festival is approaching. The weather got even worse in the places north to our city. It got so bad that the people in South China couldn’t get used to it. We had to wear heavy coats and scarves to keep warm even when we were at home. Winter holiday came, but I couldn’t bring Nenoh to play outside because
of the bad weather. I had to help him to put on two pairs of thick socks and ran with him on the floor. He thought it was a funny game so he laughed and laughed very happily. His innocent laughter swept away my worries caused by the weather. Every time I was stuck in the chair, watching the TV series unhappily, he would come to me and stretch out his lovely hands and say, “ Come on, Mommy. Let’
s go out to the living room and run with me!” I really couldn’t refuse his warm hands. Thank Nenoh for lighting up the fire in my heart.
February 6th was Spring Festival’s Eve. I had to go to the market with Nenoh to buy a big cake for the New Year. Though it was cold, many people came and bought a lot of food for the get-together that night. When I held Nenoh in my arms and asked him to take care of the cake, a man rushed in a hurry so that the cake
was squeezed and fell down on the ground. Nenoh cried very seriously for this beautiful cake was his dream of the New Year. I had to crush my way through the crowd again and told the owner of the bakery what had happened. He looked at us sympathetically and said, “ How can you have a cake for the New Year like this? Let me see. And please wait a moment.” Then he asked his daughter to give us paper handkerchiefs to clean our hands. And very quickly his wife came out and told
us the baker had already made another beautiful cake for us. I didn’t say anything, but I hoped Nenoh could feel the warmth as well as me.
February 8th was the second day of the Spring Festival. As the traditions, the married must go to the homes of the wives’ parents and say “ Happy New Year” to them. But just after an operation, my mother couldn’t to my grandparents’ home. And instead of this my grandma came to see her daughter and brought lots of
delicious food to us. The food was totally made by her. When I tasted the most delicious rice cake, I found the familiar flavor that was impossible to be found
in any market or supermarket in this city. Suddenly I can understand why millions of people overcome many difficulties and hurry to their home for the Spring Festival every year, and why more people were willing to take risks to help them to go back home this year.
These words were a little late because the warm spring has come to us. When I play with Nenoh in the sun, I won’t forget those ordinary people who brought us warmth in a cold winter!
