Taicang has sent another letter, I wonder what it's about. Thinking this, the family didn't rush to open the letter but instead served Lady Wu Wang hot tea and fruits.
"Did the Lu Family just come back? It's almost New Year; will they go back to Taicang before the festival?" asked Lady Zhang.
"Yes, they just returned. Before New Year's, I reckon they probably won't go. But don't worry, if you need to send letters or parcels over there, there are others from our town going, and you can just give them the word," replied Lady Wu Wang.
"Third Aunt Wu, will your family be buying mutton and beef this year?" Lian Manman asked Lady Wu Wang.
"Why, are you thinking of buying some?" Lady Wu Wang asked.
"Yes," nodded Lian Manman, because mutton and beef are rarely sold in town, one needs to order in advance if they wish to buy.
"How much do you want to buy?" Lady Wu Wang inquired further.
