When my mother makes shoes, she first pastes old pieces of cloth on the back of the chopping board to dry, and then cuts the shoe pattern according to the size of the shoe. Often at this time, grandma will come. Grandma stood outside with the door curtain open and looked, mostly silent. If she needs to say something, grandma will move her little feet, step over the high threshold and come in, then move to the pot stand, put her hand on the hot pot lid to warm it, and then half stand and half crawl like that, say a few words that need to be said, and often leave slowly with a giggle after speaking. In our place, grandma is not mother's mother. Mother's mother, we call grandma. Grandma is Qiu Shui's grandmother in the courtyard next door. Because Qiu Shui's family is older, many people and I call her grandma. Qiu Shui's family was always in a good situation, and they often ate white flour and white steamed buns. This is my most vivid memory of his family. Of course, apart from the white flour steamed buns, I also vaguely remember some other things.

The earth-shaking and gratifying changes that have taken place after the reform and opening up try their best to reflect the sincerity and generosity of the people of northern Shaanxi and their clear sense of justice, praise the truth, goodness and beauty, and denounce the false and ugly, but no change can surpass the theme of the author's nostalgia and praise for his hometown in northern Shaanxi.
