Zhuang Fangtao put down her teacup and sighed, "I was planning to go back tomorrow, but your eldest brother said he had to repair our parents' graves first."

She pointed to the snow outside the window and said, "In this weather, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few days."

Zhuang Fangtao took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands. "Last year, when I went back during Qingming Festival, I saw that the tombstone was cracked." Her eyes reddened slightly. "I thought I'd take advantage of this trip to have a stonemason carve a new one."

"It's time to fix it up," Li Guifang nodded. "How about this? I just bought you a tricycle to ride back home. It'll be easier to move your things when the time comes."

"How can I use your new car? Your eldest brother went to buy materials the other day and arranged with someone to send a tractor to deliver the materials!

Your second and third sisters-in-law will be returning to Haicheng tomorrow!"

Li Guifang paused holding the teapot, her brows furrowed slightly. "Why are you so anxious? You've only been back a few days."

Second sister-in-law Gao Xiuhong waved her hand and took out a small notebook from the cloth bag she brought with her: "Look, this is full."

She flipped through her packed schedule: "Send my grandson to school at 7:00, open the shop at 7:30, deliver dinner to my daughter-in-law at 11:00..."

As he was talking, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, I still have to prepare school bags for the twins from the third family!"

Third sister-in-law Luo Meixiang stuffed a piece of walnut cake into her mouth and continued incoherently: "My snack shop is even more indispensable. The contact number I posted before the New Year has been called home."

She counted on her fingers, "Purchasing goods, calculating bills, greeting customers...which one doesn't require my own supervision?"

Li Guifang refilled their hot tea, the steam blurring her glasses. "So...where's my nephew?"

"He has to go back with us. Your other nephews are all on the phone, saying he's being lazy!"

Suddenly, Xie Dazui's loud voice came from downstairs: "Boss! We're running out of cream!"

Seeing that Li Guifang was busy again, the sisters-in-law hurriedly stood up to say goodbye. Li Guifang quickly stopped them: "Wait!" Turning around, she swiftly grabbed a few paper bags and filled them with the freshly baked horns.

"Take this to eat on the way," she muttered as she packed the food. "These red bean and custard fillings, share them with everyone, everyone should try some..."

Zhuang Fangtao took the bag, the aroma of the hot croissants filling her nose. "Oh, how embarrassing..."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about," Li Guifang said, helping her sister-in-law adjust her scarf. "We're a family."

"Please come back more often. I'll make cakes for you guys next time!"

There was no cake for my sister-in-law to taste this time because the cake mold had not arrived yet!

Gao Xiuhong had already reached the door. Upon hearing this, she turned back and smiled, "That's a deal! We'll definitely be back when the kids are out for summer vacation!"

"Of course!" Li Guifang chased them to the stairs. Snowflakes came in through the crack in the door and landed on her apron. "Then I'll teach you how to make the new pineapple buns!"

Watching the figures of her family disappear in the snow, Li Guifang stood at the door in a daze for a while.

This time, only her three brothers and their wives and her eldest nephew came back. The rest of her nephews, nieces, and their wives, along with a few young children, didn't come back with them! The reason? Because there were too many people and they couldn't squeeze onto the train!

I couldn't help but sigh: "Just think about it, this big family gets together less and less..."

Go to Zhao Xiaomian and call out from the kitchen: "Sister Fang, the cream is ready!"

Only then did she come to her senses, wiped her eyes, turned around and rushed into the steaming kitchen.
