Shen Weidong glanced at Shen Xiaoxia, as if he saw through her thoughts. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this important?"

Shen Xiaoxia seemed to have heard something incredible, her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "Isn't this important?"

Seeing Shen Xiaoxia staring at him closely, Shen Weidong didn't answer directly. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said leisurely with a bit of confidence and teasing, "Based on your brother's vision, what do you think?"

When Shen Xiaoxia heard this, she understood immediately. That's right, all the members of the Shen family are good-looking and have outstanding looks. Considering Shen Weidong's picky personality and aesthetic taste, the appearance of his future sister-in-law must not be too bad!

Thinking of this, her eyes lit up with excitement again, and she couldn't wait to speak, "Brother, everyone in the family should have seen my future sister-in-law, right? I haven't seen her yet. When are you going to bring her to me?"

Shen Weidong raised his head slightly and thought for a moment, as if calculating the time in his mind. Then he nodded and said, "If I have a day off these days, I'll ask her to come out and you two can meet her?"

When Shen Xiaoxia heard this, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, sure!"

Compared to Shen Weidong's affairs, Shen Nannan, the curious baby, was more curious about Shen Xiaoxia's life in the past two years. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, looking at Shen Xiaoxia eagerly, and said, "Third sister, can you tell us what happened when you went to the countryside?"

Shen Xiaoxia calmly reached out, picked up the chopsticks, and accurately picked up a piece of lean meat and put it in the bowl. Then she said, "Haven't you heard about my story this morning? That's all. There doesn't seem to be anything else!"

When Shen Nannan heard this, she curled her lips, her face full of disappointment, and muttered softly, "Okay...!"

After dinner, Shen Xiaoxia stood up and followed her mother into the kitchen.

The light in the kitchen was dim, shining on the messy chopping board and stove.

Shen Xiaoxia rolled up her sleeves, picked up the rag and wiped it skillfully. Her movements were quick and thorough, completely unlike the little girl who occasionally slacked off and acted coquettishly at home two years ago.

Shen's mother stood aside, watching her busy daughter quietly, her eyes slightly red, feeling both sad and happy.

What makes me sad is that my daughter must have suffered a lot in the countryside in the past two years. Although she has not witnessed those difficult days with her own eyes, she can imagine them.

I’m glad that after not seeing my daughter for almost two years, she has grown up a lot and become more sensible. She can do things in an orderly manner and can stand on her own!

After cleaning up the kitchen, Shen's mother looked at Shen Xiaoxia with concern and said softly, "Xia Xia, you must be tired after a long day. Go wash up and rest early!"

Shen Xiaoxia wasn't actually that tired, but she still nodded obediently and agreed.

The washing conditions at home were not as convenient as those in the Youth League Home. When she was in the Youth League Home, once the door was closed, she could enter the space at any time without worrying about being discovered.

But it’s not possible at home. Due to the conditions at home, I can’t go into the space all the time. If I don’t go into the space, I can’t take a shower every day in this weather. It’s too cold and there is no heating facility!

Fortunately, she had already taken a shower in the space in the morning, so a simple wash in the evening would be fine.

After a simple wash, Shen's mother filled a hot water bottle for Shen Xiaoxia, "Xia Xia, put this next to your feet when you go to bed at night, it will keep you warm!"

Shen Xiaoxia smiled and took it, saying coquettishly, "Thank you, Mom!"

She was used to sleeping in a space and on a kang, and suddenly she returned to the cold bed. She felt a little uncomfortable for a while!

Hearing her thanks, Mother Shen couldn't help but laugh. She stretched out her finger, gently tapped her head, and said in a somewhat doting tone, "You...!"

At this moment, Shen Nannan clung to the door frame and leaned halfway in, staring eagerly at the hot water bottle that Shen's mother had filled for Shen Xiaoxia. She seemed a little dissatisfied and pretended to complain, "Mom, didn't you prepare one for me too?"

Shen Nannan's room and Shen Xiaoxia's room were separated by a wooden partition, which was not soundproof at all. Both sides could detect the slightest movement. In the past, the brother and sister had whispered a lot to each other through the wooden partition!

Mother Shen turned her head and looked at Shen Nannan's expression. She was both angry and amused. She rolled her eyes at him and said with feigned disgust, "You are so hot-tempered, do you still need a hot water bottle? Normally, when you sleep, you would almost want to throw off the quilt completely. How can you be cold?"

After delivering the hot water bottle, Shen's mother did not stay with Shen Xiaoxia for long. She was also tired after a day and had to go wash up. After helping Shen Xiaoxia tidy up the quilt, she turned and left.

Seeing that Shen Xiaoxia was going to rest, Shen Nannan retreated to his own room. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Shen Xiaoxia, "Third sister, go to bed early. I'm going to bed too!"

Shen Xiaoxia was lying on the bed, tightly wrapped in the quilt, her body curled up into a ball.

The cold quilt made her shiver uncontrollably. She huddled in the quilt for a long time before she felt a little warmth!

It is really easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

Thinking that she hadn't signed in yet for today, Shen Xiaoxia silently said to herself, "System, sign in!"

[Successful sign-in, congratulations to the host for receiving a Warm Protector and two hot water bottles! ]

I looked at the instruction manual and found out that the Heat Protector is rechargeable. I don't know what it is made of, but it has a very ingenious design. It says that it can provide continuous heat dissipation for ten hours after charging for twenty minutes.

A hot water bottle is the ordinary kind that is filled with hot water. It is made of soft silicone and is very flexible. It is covered with a cloth cover embroidered with small flowers, which is both beautiful and can prevent burns.

Shen Xiaoxia was immediately overjoyed. This was really like someone giving her a pillow when she was sleepy. The system was so awesome!

She was secretly worried just now, thinking that one hot water bottle might not be enough, but now she has three more, which must be enough!

I sneaked into the space, charged the warming device, and boiled a pot of hot water.

After the hot water was ready, Shen Xiaoxia quickly filled a new hot water bottle and stuffed it into the quilt. In this way, one can be placed next to the feet to cover them, and the other can be placed near the waist. After the warming treasure is fully charged, she will hold it in her arms and use it. This way she shouldn't feel cold, right?

Everything was ready. Shen Xiaoxia lay on the bed. As usual, she was used to it and slowly fell asleep around eleven o'clock.

The night outside the window grew darker, and the house was quiet and silent. Soon, Shen Xiaoxia fell asleep with a faint smile on her lips!

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Weidong worked the early shift and got off work at four o'clock in the afternoon. When he left the house in the morning, he asked Shen Xiaoxia, "Xia Xia, I got off work early today. Do you want me to take you shopping? Yufen happens to be off today!"

Shen Xiaoxia's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!"

Shen Weidong asked again, "Do you need me to come back and pick you up?"

Shen Xiaoxia waved her hand, "No, no, you can just go pick up your sister-in-law. Just tell me the address and I'll go by myself!"

Finally, Shen Xiaoxia and Shen Weidong agreed to meet at the entrance of the department store at 4:30 in the afternoon.
