After a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, Li Hongjun's family had returned home, just as the New Year was fast approaching.
Shen Yunfang and her husband started to get busy.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, Shen Yunfang donned her apron and set up a large pot for frying.
"Auntie, auntie, fry the meat chunks first," Goudan couldn't forget about the meat chunks his aunty fried and, knowing that she would start frying today, he and his brothers didn't go anywhere and just squatted at their grandfather's house, waiting.
Pangpang, mimicking his older cousin, squatted next to Goudan and watched, but he had a different opinion about what to fry first, "I want to eat sugar twists."
The so-called sugar twists were finger-sized twists that, once fried, were then rolled in melted sugar syrup.
These treats were a bit troublesome to make, so Shen Yunfang didn't make them all the time when she was at home, which left Pangpang longing for them.
