"Here, have some candy. Your brother bought it especially for you."
He grabbed a large handful and stuffed them into the pockets of the two children.
"Shanshan, you eat too."
He grabbed another handful and handed it to Xiao Shanshan.
As she took the candy, a different kind of light appeared in Xiao Shanshan's eyes.

As Xiao Shanshan called out, the aroma filled the dilapidated farmhouse courtyard.
