"Don't you dare say I'm short!"

I don't know if the two kids are just getting taller, or if they're getting enough nutrition from eating meat every day, or what, but the clothes they had when they first arrived, which were only a little over a month old, are already so big that the pant legs that were still a bit loose are almost too big to cover their feet. Jian Dan keeps complaining that they're growing like crazy because they've been eating feed.

Cheng An chuckled.

"Sis, would you like some fruit? There's some in the cellar, I'll go get it."

She always kept things readily available in the cellar, such as common apples and oranges. When the season came, she would put them in there well in advance, when the children weren't looking.

Having been kept on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) for three or four days, with no fresh air at all, she was indeed feeling a bit suffocated. Upon hearing this...

"I want to eat watermelon, watermelon!"

My mouth is so dry, and just thinking about how moist it would feel makes my mouth water uncontrollably.

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

Cheng Rui flipped over and jumped to the ground.

"I'll be quick, I'll go get it."

"Then I'll put it on the table,"

Jian Dan had just sat down when the kang table and knife were already set out. The two sisters sat obediently on either side, waiting for the watermelon to be served.

Cheng Rui's footsteps soon followed, along with his loud voice.

"Sis, the watermelon is here! I picked the biggest one, quick, quick, this one is definitely the sweetest."

Cheng An got off the ground and caught it.

"Brother, you actually got one that big?"

After placing the watermelon on the table, Cheng Rui, as if by magic, pulled out several sticks from behind his back.

Ding ding ding~ Ding!

Look, what's this?
