'This is so hard!' Shen Xiaosi glanced at the milk candies and cookies he had picked out, then at the canned meat he had chosen. 'Should I take them, or not?'
He was so conflicted.
Before he could come to a decision, the sound of the loud-voiced Granny Wang laughing and calling out his mother's name came from outside. You could probably hear her a mile away.

No wonder everyone was so envious.
"Mom, why are you back so early today?" Shen Xiaosi rushed out even faster than He Peiyin came in. "My sister-in-law is here..."
Nearly knocked over by her youngest son, He Peiyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She gave his backside a light smack. "Why didn't you run and tell your mom sooner?"
