After Grandpa Gu went home, he occasionally sent over goods. The Jiao family was not going home for the spring festival this year. Both Papa and Mama Jiao’s parents thought about them often. Whenever family friends went to their city, their parents would send stuff along. In the country, people start to prepare for the spring festival at a very early time.
This year, the spring festival came earlier than usual. Back home, many people were meat or fruit producers and had to go to Chuhua often to provide goods for their customers. Ever since the start of December, Papa Jiao had been receiving calls to go pick up stuff.
Back home, many people were in the aquiculture business. The Gu family had a fishpond for eel. It felt better eating food coming from family.
