When Qin Xue and the others returned home, they saw their grandparents shelling peanuts. They wondered if these were being prepared for planting or making peanut brittle.
"Grandma and Grandpa, we're back. What are you two up to?" Qin Xue asked the elderly couple.
"Well, the New Year is coming, and we can't have you eat snacks without any substance. Your mother bought some sugar, and asked us to shell some peanuts to make peanut brittle for you two sisters. We're also going to fry some rice, so we started shelling the peanuts as soon as we had some free time." The grandmother responded cheerfully when she heard her granddaughter's question.
"Oh, so you really are making candy. That's delicious, so fragrant and sweet." Qin Xue was delighted to hear that they were making just what she was thinking of. Now she would not have to buy more, and they could add any additional ingredients they wanted. She was thrilled at the idea.
