The story

大卫：我们只去西安一个星期，为什么有这么多行李？We're only going to Xi'an for a week. Why is there so much luggage?

小雨：这些都是汤圆的行李。宝宝出门，一切都要带：衣服、奶瓶、玩具、被子……This is all Tangyuan's luggage. When a baby goes out, you have to take everything: clothes, bottles, toys, a quilt...

大卫：汤圆，你有三个箱子，爸爸只有一个包！这个比例不合理！我反对！Tangyuan, you've got three suitcases, and Daddy has one bag! That's not a fair split! I object!

小雨：别管行李了。证件呢？证件带好了吗？Never mind the luggage. What about our ID? Have you packed the papers?

大卫：带好了！我的护照，你的身份证，还有汤圆的身份证。All packed! My passport, your ID card, and Tangyuan's ID card.

大卫：等一下，汤圆也有身份证？她才八个月！Wait, Tangyuan has an ID card too? She's only eight months old!

小雨：坐火车要用身份证，宝宝也要。You need an ID card to take the train. Babies too.

小雨：还有，每一个行李，我都要再看一遍。我们家的猫最喜欢睡在行李里。And I'm going to check every single bag one more time. Our cats love sleeping in luggage.
