Seeing that Shen's mother's attention was not on them, Shen Nannan moved closer to Shen Xiaoxia, covered her lips, and said almost in a whisper, "Hehe, I saved it secretly!"

That look was both a little proud and a little cautious, as if he was afraid of being heard by Shen's mother!

Shen Xiaoxia looked him up and down, her eyes full of surprise and approval, thinking: Not bad, you can save money secretly?

She subconsciously glanced in the direction of Shen's mother. Seeing that Shen's mother didn't react, she knew that Shen's mother also knew that he had some pocket money on him, but she just didn't pay much attention to it on weekdays.

Shen Nannan happily handed the string of red, crystal clear candied haws in her hand to Shen Xiaoxia, with an enthusiastic smile on her face, and urged, "Try it quickly, is it delicious?"

He secretly guessed in his heart that Shen Xiaoxia had suffered a lot in the countryside in the past two years and the place was remote, so she would definitely not think of eating this thing. When he passed by today, he specially bought it for Shen Xiaoxia, wanting to give his sister a surprise!

Shen Xiaoxia reached out to take it, gently pinching the bamboo stick of the candied haws, as if lost in memories of the past, her eyes full of emotion, "After not seeing each other for two years, our Nan Nan now feels sorry for her and knows to bring her food...!"

As she spoke, she held the candied haws in one hand and raised the other hand to rub Shen Nannan's head. Her movements were gentle and she smiled, "Our Nannan has grown up. Sister is very happy...!"

Perhaps "stimulated" by Shen Xiaoxia's affectionate and slightly corny speech, Shen Nannan trembled all over, blushed slightly, and slightly distanced himself from her.

But how could Shen Xiaoxia agree to him? She stretched out her arm and pulled him back. The brother and sister smiled at each other, full of intimacy!

After a while, Shen Weidong strode into the house. Coincidentally, he was also holding two strings of candied haws in his hands.

Shen Xiaoxia and Shen Nannan looked at the candied haws handed over and couldn't help but look at each other with surprise in their eyes. Shen Xiaoxia was the first to ask, "Brother, why did you think of bringing this for us?"

As if recalling something amusing, Shen Weidong's expression was half-smile, and a hint of nostalgia was visible in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "Just when I passed by, I suddenly remembered that when you two were kids, you used to fight over an extra candied haws, with tears and snot. It was so funny!"

Although these things happened to the original owner, Shen Xiaoxia also had those memories. When she heard Shen Weidong mention it, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment!

I couldn't help but mutter, "That happened so long ago!"

Although it has been a long time, when I think about it now, those memories seem like yesterday. Looking at his younger brother who is almost as tall as him, with an upright figure and full of vigor, and his younger sister who has grown into a graceful, gentle and lovely girl, Shen Weidong's heart is filled with relief, but also a hint of discomfort!

Shen Xiaoxia and Shen Nannan hurried forward and took the candied haws from Shen Weidong's hand in unison. One after the other, they said thank you in a crisp voice, "Thank you, brother!"

It is said that there is no coincidence in the world. Not long after, Shen's father came back from get off work. Unexpectedly, he also brought back two strings of candied haws.

When Shen Xiaoxia saw the candied haws being handed to her, her eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "Dad, why did you bring back candied haws too?"

Father Shen looked puzzled, frowned slightly, and asked, "Also? Who else brought it?"

Shen Nannan was trying to hold back her laughter. Shen's father turned his gaze towards Shen Weidong and asked, "Did you buy it too?"

Shen Weidong's eyes were full of smiles as he nodded, "Yes, I bought it!"

Shen Nannan also joined in the fun and raised her hand, saying loudly, "Not only did Big Brother buy some, I bought some too, and I just finished eating!"

Looking at everyone's expressions, Father Shen couldn't help but smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were full of kindness. "It's okay, these candied haws won't go bad that quickly anyway, so it's just the same to save them for tomorrow!"

Shen Xiaoxia handed the two strings brought by Shen's father and one of the strings brought by Shen Weidong to Shen Nannan, "Here, they are all for you...!"

It's okay to eat candied haws occasionally, but if you eat too much, she will feel sick of it. However, Shen Xiaoxia's words to Shen Nannan seemed particularly heartwarming, "Come on, brother, I'll give you back some of what I stole from you. Eat more!"

Shen Nannan blinked and asked with a look of doubt, "What's the matter? Don't you like it?"

Shen Xiaoxia raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and said, "After all, I am your elder sister, so I want to give in to you more~!"

Shen Nannan said with embarrassment, "Oh, this is not good...?"

Shen Xiaoxia looked at his appearance, feeling a little toothache, and patted the candied haws into his arms, "Here, you're welcome!"

They were bustling with activity, laughter and chatter. Mother Shen came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, and neatly took off her apron, which was still stained with some oil stains from cooking. She didn't care at all and greeted everyone with a smile, "The meal is ready, clear the table and let's eat!"

The whole family sat around the dinner table in a lively atmosphere. Dishes of delicious food exuded an enticing aroma, and steam rose up, making the warm atmosphere of home even more intense.

Shen Xiaoxia was the first to break the cozy silence. Her bright eyes sparkled with curiosity. After looking around at her family, she excitedly asked, "Has anything interesting happened at home in the past two years since I went to the countryside? Tell me about it...!"

Then he turned his head and looked straight at Shen Weidong, his eyes full of expectation, "Especially about big brother's matter, you have to tell me in detail!"

Shen Weidong was currently lowering his head, munching on his food with big mouthfuls, his cheeks bulging. Upon hearing Shen Xiaoxia's words, he raised his head, a faint smile playing on the corners of his mouth, and said slowly, "It's nothing special. Someone enthusiastically introduced her to me. After getting to know her, I found her to be quite nice, so we got together!"

When Shen Xiaoxia heard this, a speechless expression instantly appeared on her face. She opened her mouth slightly and was stunned for a few seconds before she spoke, "That's it?"

Her tone was full of unwillingness. The matter of her elder brother, whom she cared about so much, was so dull?

Seeing her like this, Shen Weidong sat up straight and asked seriously, "What else can I do?"

Shen Xiaoxia frowned in dissatisfaction, and a small "Chuan" character squeezed out between her eyebrows. This was too boring. The ups and downs and passionate love stories she had imagined in her mind turned into nothing in an instant. She felt so lost!

She rolled her eyes and continued to ask, "Brother, is our future sister-in-law pretty?"
