"Thank you, Mother, I'll make a trip there tomorrow." Qi Shi nodded.
It's been a while since I've been back to my parents' house; it's time to visit.
Either way, if my parents want to coax things out of me, they have to cater to me, so I'm not worried they'll show me a bad face.
Just thinking about my parents' way of currying favor with the powerful, my desire to visit diminishes.
"Hmm, there's quite a bit of food at home these days, take it all with you."
"No need to take everything, just enough for a meal or two." Qi Shi quickly said. She had no intention of feeding her greedy aunt's family.
Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Old Mrs. Hua understood what she meant and, knowing what her in-laws were like, said no more.
After breakfast the next day, Qi Shi packed a basket of vegetables, a bag of pastries, and added ten eggs. Her mother-in-law also stuffed in half a pound of fatty meat and ten pounds of coarse grain before Qi Shi set off for her parents' house.
