"Sure," Xue Xue'er said, shaking Xue Fen's hand a few times.

In fact, she just wanted to know what would happen in the forest during winter, just like how there were strawberries under the snow by the river. It was a magical thing.

Xue Fen was also happy. Xue'er had not been so close to him for a long time. She felt like she had eaten honey in her heart.

Usually, she would stick to her big brother more often. Maybe it was because he pushed Xue'er before, but he still felt a little guilty.

Even though Xue'er had already forgotten and did not remember, he still remembered.

When he heard that Xue Fen was going to take Xue Xue'er out, Old Lady Xue was scared out of her wits. She immediately did not care about the strawberries in the room and quickly walked out.

"Where are you going to take my Xue'er?"

Old Lady Xue was too nervous. Other things aside, on this snowy day, if Xue'er fell, she would feel heartache for a few days!

Xue Fen and Xue'er looked at each other. "Milk, I brought Xue'er around the area and will be back soon."

He was a little nervous because he was not good at lying. If he told milk that they were going to the forest, Old Lady Xue would be scared to death.

But they had been to the forest behind them since they were young. What could happen?

He and his big brother were already big kids. They would protect Xue'er well!

Seeing that Old Lady Xue still had a worried expression, Xue Xue'er also pulled Old Lady Xue's arm and shook it, "Milk ~ We are not going too far. We will come back for lunch at noon, okay?"

"Okay okay ~"

Xue Xue'er acted like a spoiled child and pulled Old Lady Xue's arm to shake. In just a few moments, Old Lady Xue gave in.

Anyway, it was almost time to eat. It was not long before the child went.

"Then remember to come back at lunch, okay?"

"I know, milk!" Xue Xue'er happily took Xue Fen's hand and went outside.

It was not until they left the courtyard of Xue family that Xue Xue'er asked, "Second Elder Brother Second Elder Brother, why didn't you see big brother?"

"Big Brother and Third Sister are shopping at the entrance of the village. Let's go and meet them." Xue Fen held his sister's hand and felt a sense of responsibility in his heart.

He must not let anything happen to his sister.

Every New Year, there would be a few people pushing carts to sell things at the entrance of the village. They would stay for a few hours and then push the carts to the neighboring villages to sell. There were not many things, but children loved to watch.

They would probably stop selling on the day before the new year. During the two days of the new year, the doors were closed everywhere, and there were no small vendors.

Xue Fen brought Xue Xue'er along and jogged all the way. They only arrived near the entrance of the village after a while.

Near the village entrance, a few middle-aged men were pushing a few small carts. There were different things being sold on the carts. Among them was Xue Xue'er's favorite candy.

It was just that it was different from the kind of candy that was bought in the town. This kind of candy was not as delicate, but it was also very sweet.

Most of the villages were sold for three yuan per cent, and just like that, there were also many children who craved it. In the few days before the New Year, they rushed over to buy it.

Xue Xiaowan also stood in front of one of the stalls and stood on her tiptoes, waiting for the stall owner to bring her the candy.

Xue Qin was counting and the little money in his hand was enough to buy a few sweets.

These were the money that they had saved up during normal days. There was also some New Year money that Old Lady Xue had given them in the past. It had always been in their hands and had no use.

Originally, with a mother like Wang Zhaodi around, it was naturally impossible to keep the money in their hands. But this money was given by Old Lady Xue. If Wang Zhaodi dared to touch it, she would probably have two more arms.1

"Big Brother, we bought so much. Can Xue'er finish eating it?" Xue Xiaowan tilted her head and her hands were still on the fence of the small car.

They discussed that they would buy Xue'er some delicious candy today.

Xue'er liked to eat sweets so much, she would definitely be very happy.

Xue Qin handed over the few cents he had counted. "Of course Xue'er won't be able to finish it. Big Brother also bought Xiaowan's and Fen's. These are divided and will be given to milk for them to eat."
