Our Family Is Going on a Trip

She listened to him attentively.

Auntie Bao took a deep breath. "Well, when I was young, I didn't understand the importance of marriage. I always thought being alone was the best. For decades afterward, I wandered around without realizing I had no roots or attachments. It wasn't until I came to the Lin family that I realized happiness comes from having someone to care for."

"Will you only be able to come back after the holidays? Take lots of pictures and show me."

"Sure," said Auntie Bao. "After I return, I'll come and visit your mother. You should take a lot of pictures too!"

After ending the call, Auntie Bao went to her neighbor's house.

Although Lin Wan had already found someone to help take care of the vegetables and poultry, Auntie Bao was still worried. She asked her neighbor to come by and check on things when they had time.

To express her gratitude, Auntie Bao took over some steamed buns she had prepared that morning.
