《English Translation》
陈花: We're going to my parents' place for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I found a mooncake gift box I like. It's 880 yuan. The box is really beautiful, and it would look impressive as a gift.
黄刚: 880 yuan? That box your cousin gave us last year wasn't cheap either. Didn't we end up with more than half of it left and throw it away after it expired?
陈花: But it's a holiday gift for my parents. We can't buy something too ordinary, can we?
黄刚: I just saw the news today. Now more people buy mooncakes for themselves than as gifts, and gift boxes costing over 500 yuan are becoming less and less common.
陈花: Looks like people really aren't willing to spend that much extra just for a pretty box anymore.
黄刚: Doesn't Mom love fresh meat mooncakes the most? Let's buy a box for a little over 100 yuan and bring a few freshly baked ones too.
陈花: That does make more sense. Dad doesn't like sweets anyway, so if we buy him mooncakes, they'll just sit there.
黄刚: Then we can use the money we save to buy Dad some good tea that he likes.
陈花: Okay, I won't buy that box then. Let's go get fresh meat mooncakes first thing tomorrow morning. If we go late, there'll be a long line, and I really don't want to wait for an hour.
