With school starting and Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the mooncakes from the Joy Soon Loy Restaurant were already selling like hotcakes. Cheng Su also began sending out holiday gifts to maintain relationships in various places. For distant places like the Capital and Guangcheng, she had to send them via the post office.
As her business grew, so did her network of connections, and Cheng Su received quite a few holiday gifts herself.
She discussed with Mother Cheng about how to send gifts to their hometown and whether to invite her father to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, as he was alone there, and it seemed too lonely. This year, Cheng Zhi and her third uncle also said they wouldn't be able to come home for the festival.
"Who spends the festival at their daughter's place? It's inappropriate. If you invite your dad here, then what about your in-laws? They're also back home without any children by their side," Mother Cheng scolded.
