While pretending to flip, she used her mind to take out two pairs of white plastic sandals from the space. The styles were very simple and closer to the style of this era.

It was placed on top of the wet clothes without anyone noticing.

Fan Huifang's shoes are the same size as hers, and she usually wears size 36 or 37, so all the shoes she has stored in the space can fit her feet.

"Here, Sister Huifang, these sandals are for you. The weather will soon get warmer, and you can wear them in a few days!"

"Sandals? Xiaobei, where did you get them?"

Looking at the new sandals in Shen Xiaobei’s hand, Fan Huifang looked surprised.

"My relatives gave me two pairs at once. They are similar in style. I kept one pair for myself and gave this pair to you, Sister Huifang."

"Relative? What relative? Why are you so generous? Why haven't I heard you mention him before? Did you go out today just to meet this relative?"

Fan Huifang is not Ke Xiaoli, she is much more meticulous than Ke Xiaoli.

Therefore, Shen Xiaobei not only repeated what he had just said to Ke Xiaoli, but also added some embellishments and spoke more vividly and emotionally.

Fan Huifang seemed to be listening with great interest and didn't seem to have any suspicions.

"So, Xiaobei, the reason you were able to let go of Du Wenli was because your cousin and aunt enlightened you today?"

"Yes, thanks to my cousin, otherwise I would still be in such a state of mind! Okay, Sister Huifang, we've already put this matter behind us. Look, we're talking about it again!"

"Okay, okay! Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me try on the sandals you gave me! Hahaha, this is the first proper gift I've received since I came to the Baiju Brigade in the countryside!"

Fan Huifang is a straightforward woman.

After learning the ins and outs of the pair of sandals given by Shen Xiaobei, she did not pretend to refuse and happily accepted them.

Accepting this pair of sandals meant for her to formally accept Shen Xiaobei as a friend with whom she could confide.

While Fan Huifang was happily trying on shoes, Shen Xiaobei turned his back to her and rummaged through the "universal" canvas bag on the ground.

He secretly took out 49 candles from the space to cover up the lie he had just told.

"Sister Huifang, doesn't Brother Deng like to read at night? But I know he's worried about not having enough kerosene. Could you please send some of these candles to him for me? I don't want to go into their room."

"Okay, I'll send it to Brother Deng right away. He's such a nerd, he'll definitely be very happy!"

Shen Xiaobei distributed 30 candles, and Fan Huifang, wearing new sandals, happily delivered them to the opposite room for her and handed them to Deng Yuliang personally.

Deng Yuliang was the one who loved reading the most among this group of educated youth.

When he went to the countryside, he didn't take much with him except books.

But he had to work in the fields during the day to earn work points, so he didn't have much time or energy to read.

There is nothing to do in the evening, so I have plenty of free time.

But to read at night, you need to light a kerosene lamp or a candle. Although these two things are common, you can't use them casually in the countryside at that time. You need to have enough kerosene coupons and spare money.

So you have to use it sparingly.

It is a great luxury to light a lamp and read every night.

Therefore, in Deng Yuliang's heart, this favor from Shen Xiaobei was like a timely help in the snow.

He took the bunch of white candles with excitement.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the candles as if they were some treasure while responding to Fan Huifang.

"Oh, I'm the eldest brother, how can I have the nerve to accept things from my younger sister? I'm so ashamed! You must thank Little Sister Shen for me! No, no, no, I'll go and thank her in person tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, okay, I'll thank Xiaobei for you, and you can go thank her in person tomorrow, okay? I'm coming over!"

Seeing Deng Yuliang so happy, Fan Huifang smiled and shook her head, thinking that this nerd was becoming even more of a nerd.
