Jinyu Mantang
Tomorrow is the last day of 2011. Although there are still more than 20 days before the Lunar New Year, when I walked into the supermarket and saw the aisles filled with all kinds of New Year goods, I instantly felt that the New Year was very, very close...

I remember that when I was a child, I really looked forward to the New Year. The New Year meant having new clothes, many delicious things that were inaccessible on ordinary days, firecrackers that would not be set off on ordinary days, and the most important thing was having New Year's money. At that time, I was like a tomboy who especially liked to shoot firecrackers. Adults were always worried that I would hurt my hands when lighting firecrackers. So, when my father lit a long incense stick, I trembled slightly, full of inexplicable excitement and An unspeakable pride I personally lit the firecrackers that our family had used to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new in those years. How simple and happy we were at that time!

Now that I have grown up to be a wife and a mother, all my happiness and happiness are closely connected with the family that I deeply love. When they laugh, I am happy; when they are sad, I am sad. But overall, we gained a lot in 2011. We have our own real home and our own house. We took the baby from her grandparents, lived with us, grew up together...

Looking forward to the future, there are so many wishes and ideals to strive for and realize. I always feel that during such a warm and exciting time, I need some food that can express my mood.
Take a dessert, for example.
For example, this one is full of gold and jade!

Use its name to get a good reputation, and hope that the coming year will be full of gold and jade and more brilliant!
