"Exactly, I told her but she just wouldn't listen!"
Ma Nanji said indignantly, "Most of this stuff in the two boxes is what Mom packed, and she said you missed the taste of home, claiming everything in Beijing just doesn't compare to what we have back home."
At this time, Ma Nanji was at a stage where his pride was at an all-time high. He disapproved of his mother's ways, so he always felt uncomfortable inside, it was just that he couldn't win an argument against Ma Changying.
Ma Changying didn't like to hear this. She saw Musheng's somewhat sheepish explanation: "I know Beijing is great, but even then, there are some things from home that you can't find in Beijing. It's a big holiday, and since we're coming here to stay for so long, Mom went ahead and got some local specialties from home."
"It's fine, what's bought is bought."
