Last year, I traveled from the US to my childhood village in Zimbabwe for the Christmas holiday.
The whole village feels very much like one happy family get-together when people from nearby cities or neighboring countries celebrate the festive season in their childhood homes.
On Christmas Day, I woke up to the familiar (熟悉的) sound of my mother calling my name and knocking on my door. As is morning tradition on that day, everyone was preparing gifts for the festival. I quickly put on my favourite clothes. Along with my parents and two brothers, we walked a little more than a mile to the small village store. On our way there, my brother wisely advised me to ask for drinks as goods were likely to run out because of high need from the holiday.
When I stepped into that small familiar store that still smells of childhood, it looked as if it were frozen in time. The shelves were stocked with the same village basics — cooking oil, salt, bread, candy, milk, stationery, matches, candles…
As I was placing my drink orders, two young boys about 5 and 8 years old walked in with big smiles. Their clothes were oversized, old and tattered (破烂的).
The older brother emptied his pockets, and placing a handful of coins on the counter (柜台), cheerfully explained they had been sent to buy food for Christmas. He asked for “two loaves of bread, cooking oil, milk and…” Before he could finish, the younger brother added, “Our mother said we could buy candy with the change.”

The two boys clapped hands (拍手), a traditional way of saying thanks to me.
