"Mom, Dad, I'm back!"
When Lin Fan parked the car and took the seafood out of the trunk, his parents were already standing at the door, smiling with relief.
"Just come back, why buy groceries? There's still so much in the fridge. We can't finish it all ourselves. Why don't you take some back when you leave? Your mom and I found a fallow piece of land and planted some vegetables. In a few days, we'll have plenty of farm produce. You can take some back for your colleagues at work then."
His father, whose cast had been removed, seemed to have fewer wrinkles, all because he was happy; his mother promptly took the seafood from him.
"I've been so busy these days. I haven't had time to come back to the unit, so you guys might as well keep it and eat it."
