The mooncakes at the Kang family's house aren't bought, they're made by the cook and taste better than the ones you buy outside.
Ming Mei leaned against Kang Chen: "I don't really like mooncakes, sweet or savory, but… this one tonight is actually pretty good."
She knew it wasn't that the mooncake was exceptionally delicious; it was her heart that was joyful and happy, making everything taste good.
As soon as Kang Chen returned, all her unhappiness disappeared.
The baby was left with the nurse to soothe, and the old man had a couple of mooncakes with them before excusing himself, saying he was tired; he wouldn't disturb the young couple.
They both sat on the swing, Ming Mei sitting on Kang Chen's lap, holding each other tightly.
Kang Chen thought, indeed, absence makes the heart grow fonder. See, after just a few days apart, his wife wasn't giving him the cold shoulder anymore. It's really nice.
