She couldn't even enter before setting things down on the steps for Aunt Lan to carry in, and herself went back to the car trunk to fetch things twice before she was finished.

Strawberries and cherries that Ye Li loved to eat, her familiar skincare products, and the bird's nest with wild ginseng and goji berries she needed for her recent illness to nourish her health.
Storybooks, toys, Legos, and clothes for Xiao Bao.
There was also a coat and a scarf for Aunt Lan, and a perfume that she bought only to find she had fallen out of love with it by the time she got home.
In the past, there would have been even more.
Vitamins for dad, limited edition handbags for mom – there were always heaps of compliments saying the family had gained another daughter.
