Every late summer, it is the most grand festival of the Great Xia Dynasty, but this day does not mean much to the Xia family, because the family's economic situation is really not optimistic. However, the Xia family has a spirit that ordinary people do not have. Others may be hurt by a setback, but they are more courageous. The more difficult the environment, the more united they are and the more they ignite their fighting spirit.

After Xia Xiao came to the Great Wilderness World, he could not sense the vitality. The one who encouraged him the most was his father. No matter what the problem is, it can always be solved. It depends on whether you can persist! This is what his father said, so poverty did not defeat them, but was conquered by them.

My mother and second sister have always been in charge of the family expenses, and they spend every penny carefully. They have not forgotten their original identities, but as ladies from wealthy families, they can also live a poor life.

That day, the family went out shopping.

The streets were bustling with small stalls and vendors everywhere. The war had ended a month ago in Longgang and there was no trace of the previous violent atmosphere.

It was the first time for the six of them to go out together, to admire lanterns, guess riddles, and buy groceries and furniture.

Xia Jinghong hugged his wife, Xia Wan held Xia Xu, and Shu Shuang was a little shy, so she just held the corner of Xia Xiao's clothes. Seeing this, the latter was silent for a long time before silently holding her wrist.

"Let's go over there and take a look!"

Xia Jinghong led the three away, leaving Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang behind. Although he was not very good at getting along with girls, Xia Xiao scratched his head and asked:

"Do you need anything?"

His mother gave him some money and asked him to take Shu Shuang to buy some things, but Shu Shuang shook her head. She didn't need anything, if she really wanted to, it was Xia Xiao!

Such words were difficult to say, so Shu Shuang naturally wouldn't say them.

After walking around for a long time, they didn't buy anything, but Shu Shuang still went home happily with Xia Xiao.

The family was tidying up the room when they saw Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang coming back empty-handed, and they made faces at each other.

Xia Xu called Shu Shuang to help, and Xia Wan quickly walked towards Xia Xiao and asked softly:

"Why didn't you buy anything?"

"She didn't say what she wanted."

"Silly boy, girls always say one thing and mean another. Shu Shuang is so sensible, she must be trying to save money. How are the gifts prepared?"

"no problem."

Xia Xiao raised his eyebrows, signaling his second sister not to worry. Although this gift was simple, he prepared it carefully. In order to prevent Shu Shuang from finding out, he took great pains.

"That's good."

Summer is busy, and this grand festival only lasts for a short time, but people in Daxia make grand preparations to pray for a good harvest in autumn and prosperity in the coming year.

At night, countless fireworks shot into the sky, planting splendor in people's eyes.

It's great to see fireworks like this. Xia Xiao was concentrating on appreciating the beauty of the fireworks, and Xia Wan beside him poked him secretly. Xia Xiao immediately stood up and pulled Shu Shuang away.

Shu Shuang was a little confused and surprised, but she still followed.

"You're usually so deep, but you have no experience at all when it comes to girls."

Xia Wan sneered and looked up at the brilliant sky.

The light from the fireworks also shone into the backyard, and Xia Xiao brought Shu Shuang here.

"I have something to tell you."

What do you want to say? It's so sudden.

Shu Shuang was a little shy and a little expectant. Little did she know that Xia Xiao was even more excited than her. His heart was beating fast and he forgot all the words he had prepared. He couldn't say those beautiful sentences that he had revised over and over again. They were too corny!

The first round of fireworks ended, the world became quiet, and Xia Xiao could hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

"Well... we have known each other for almost a month. During this time, we have practiced together and searched for elixirs together. Thank you! Now I don't have the ability to prepare the best gift for you, so I made one myself. I hope you like it."

Xia Xiao was a man of few words, and he couldn't hold it back any longer. But Shu Shuang smiled and closed her eyes, and when she opened them, tears welled up in her bright eyes.

At this moment, the second round of fireworks in Longgang began.

Fireworks rushed into the sky, illuminating the profiles of Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, as well as the gift in Xia Xiao's hand.

This is a small sachet, with an ice-blue outer cloth and the word "frost" embroidered on it. It can be seen that the embroiderer's craftsmanship is not delicate, and can only be barely considered neat.

When Xia Xiao saw it normally, he thought the sachet he had embroidered was pretty good, but when he gave it away now, he always felt that such a simple sachet was not worthy of Shu Shuang. It didn't even have lace!

On the contrary, Shu Shuang, who was standing under the fireworks, had black hair and a delicate face that was pure and lovely. Xia Xiao was at a loss for words to describe such a beautiful girl.

Shu Shuang looked at the sachet, her eyes filled with tears. She didn't care how expensive the gift was. During the years she followed her master, she had seen luxurious houses with gold everywhere, but what was truly comfortable was something that suited her. Such things could not be measured by money or value, but only by who gave it and with what heart.

Shu Shuang took it with both hands, held it in her hands, then opened her arms and hugged Xia Xiao.

She finally knew what Xia Xiao did every night. When she was about to fall asleep, Xia Xiao would leave for an hour and then come back. He always said that he was accompanying his mother and would not let her follow him. Now that she thought about it, it must be for this sachet.

For a week in a row, Xia Xiao held a lamp and embroidered in the living room. Because he was afraid of being discovered, he looked back every few stitches. He pricked his hand countless times during this period, but now it seems that everything is worth it!

Shu Shuang hugged Xia Xiao tightly with both hands. She was not shy this time. Sometimes she couldn't stop herself from feeling it. Xia Xiao also hugged her gently. This was the first time he hugged a girl in his life. The warm feeling in his arms made him feel very comfortable. But his heartbeat was so fast that it was frightening.

Shu Shuang felt it and burst out laughing.

"Thanks."

The warm breath and sweet voice beside his ears made Xia Xiao answer gently:

"I am the one who should really say thank you. Thank you for always being by my side."

"I'll be there in the future too."

They hugged each other quietly, and after a long time Xia Xiao said:

"Let's go back and watch the fireworks."

"Okay~"

Sitting back in her seat, Xia Wan glanced at Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang. Seeing them so close and intimate, she couldn't help but smile.

How much fate does it take to be able to enjoy a fireworks display together like this?

Although the family was poor and the dishes were simple, there was still fruit after the meal, half an apple per person, which meant peace and safety!

The next day

After the short festival, Longgang and the Xia family returned to normal, but Shu Shuang, who was sitting next to her mother, no longer had her usual smile.

A whole week has passed. The continuous use of Ice Grass has gradually calmed the poison in my mother's body. But she suddenly fainted this morning, which made everyone a little anxious.

Now the Xia family has lost everything. Only the family members are left, and no family member can be left behind!

In Xia Xiao's eyes, Shu Shuang was taking her mother's pulse while they stood in a row, waiting quietly.

Xia Xiao's attention was gradually attracted to the sachet on Shu Shuang's waist. She really kept wearing it and didn't dislike it at all.

After waiting for a long time, Shu Shuang raised her hand and finally spoke. But her face looked a little bad, which made the family a little worried.
