"Niannian, explain to your in-laws that it's not that our family doesn't value them, it's that the third son didn't explain it clearly in advance, so we didn't prepare anything and only brought out this little.
This time, your father and I were supposed to go meet the in-laws together, but the tickets are hard to buy, so you have to go together.
When we have time later, your father and I will definitely go visit your in-laws and apologize to them."

Shen Anyian didn't know what they were lacking, but in this era, supplies were definitely in short supply.
She bought a can of malted milk and some long-lasting pastries with her food stamps.
