"Children, you must listen to your grandparents and your mother at home. Daddy is going out to work, and when I come back, I'll buy you some tasty treats."
'Erhu, our family doesn't have much to offer. I originally wanted to bring you some of the vegetables we grow in our field, but I heard from Fuquan that your family has all kinds of vegetables, and they are growing fresh and plump in the fields, even better than ours, so I didn't bring any. These salted duck eggs were pickled by us and we haven't even had the heart to eat them yet. You take them home for your wife to try. Although it's not much and can't compare to the precious gifts you've sent us, it's a token of our affection." Zhao Liu placed a basket he was carrying into Zhao Erhu's hands.
