Lily loves the school lunch. Some students don’t like the school lunch, because they think it’s not good. They bring their lunch to school. Their mothers make hamburgers or salad for them for lunch. Some students bring leftovers (剩饭菜) for lunch. But Lily doesn’t! She thinks the school lunch is good. Her lunch is only about $1.45. She can buy good and healthy food. She has lunch with her friends. Boys can have lunch with girls. They like to talk about their favorite subjects, their favorite teachers and their favorite days. After lunch, they like to play games.

For Lily, her school days are very happy because she really likes the lunchtime!

【推荐3】Do you still remember the great snacks (小吃) in your childhood? Do they remind you of your happy childhood?

Sugar Figure (糖人)

In the old days, you could always find people who made sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker would take a little maltose (麦芽糖) with a small spoon, using his hands to make a figure, such as the Monkey King, the White Dragonet, and so on. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for one. If one child bought a sugar figure, many other children would crowd around and admire him.

TaTa Bubble Gum (大大泡泡糖)

Almost every kid is fond of bubble gum. They often gather together to see who gets the largest bubble. I still remember my cousin once blew a big bubble and then it broke, covering her face with gum! It was cheap. I could get 2 for 1 yuan.

Baby Face Ice-cream

We prefer to call it snowman ice-cream. It tastes very delicious. It was rather expensive, I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece, which was not easy for me to buy them in those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for several days.

Malt Sugar Candy

Malt Sugar Candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and is offered during the days just before the Spring Festival. It’s delicious but cheap, and you could get five pieces for 1 yuan. My friends and I would get together to enjoy Tangguar. What a happy time!
