Lu Jingqiu and Jiang Nanzhou didn't go back today.
Dad said he would come back at noon to join them for lunch.
Usually, Dad eats alone at the unit's cafeteria for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The rare times when the family meets, he wants to spend more time with them.
Upon leaving the compound's gate, the couple bought a head of cabbage, a radish, several potatoes, since vermicelli can be stored, they picked up half a bag, and a bunch of garlic scapes.
The staff at the farmers' market saw how they bought their vegetables one at a time and kindly reminded them, "You two young spouses really don't know how to live. Today we got fresh cabbage and radish, and the New Year is approaching fast. You should stock up about ten pounds of it at home. Once we get more stock, you may not be able to get any, and what will you do during the New Year if you don't have stock?"
