Since the start of the twelfth lunar month, the sound of drums in Kao Shan Village hasn't stopped.
Huangyang arrived on Little New Year's Eve, which is the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month.
Once this day is over, it's truly a countdown to the New Year, and Wen's mother and the others stopped practicing and started getting busy preparing for the New Year.
In times of resource scarcity, even during the New Year, what a farming family can prepare is limited.
Everything required coupons; luckily, Kao Shan Village had the autumn hunt, the New Year's pig, and winter fishing. They managed to stockpile a bit of meat for the festival.
Wen's mother had a bit of a hamster-like quality, wanting to stash home anything good she saw, and Yi Chichi was generous with spending money, so the mother and daughter-in-law had accumulated quite a few good things.
