Yu Yuehua was so angry she wanted to slap him again. This guy always managed to provoke her with perfect timing. Without a word, he turned and left, ignoring Yu Yuehe, and went straight to the brazier to sit down. He warmed himself by the fire while picking up a steamed bun and eating it in large bites.

I must say, these white flour steamed buns are definitely tastier than those made with a mixture of flour and water!

Yu Yuehua had originally planned to ignore this idiot Yu Yuehe, but when she caught a glimpse of a large puddle of water next to him out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but yell, "I saved the steamed bun for you, what's your rush! I can't eat it all in one bite, so you can wash it slowly!"

Yu Yuehe glanced at Yu Yuehua, nodded sheepishly, and said he understood, but his hands didn't slow down at all while washing the dishes.

Large splashes of water continued to erupt.

Yu Yuehui couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to go up and give him a couple of laps, but after a few steps, she remembered that this guy was about to get married, so she took a deep breath and said loudly, "Second Brother, don't make so much water! It'll freeze into ice in a minute, and it'll be terrible if someone slips and falls."

Seeing that he still wouldn't listen, she sneered, "That idiot who fell down in his own house last year, I think you still remember how badly he hurt his leg!"

"I won't even mention how much pain the person suffered, just talking about the money spent in the county town, Second Brother, do you have that much money?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuehe paused in his washing of the dishes, slowing down his movements. He glanced at the puddle of water at his feet, looking somewhat uneasy, and turned to Yu Yuehua, asking anxiously, "Then, what should we do with all this water?"

Yu Yuehua rolled her eyes. Where were you all this time? Why do you only come looking for me now? Why didn't you listen to me when I was speaking?

Seeing his stubborn, donkey-like demeanor, Yu Yuehua was troubled. Having such a younger brother would make her age ten years! She simply turned her head away, pretending not to hear.

He took another bite of the steamed bun, and exclaimed, "Ah! Steamed buns are still the best!" He couldn't imagine how happy he would be if he could eat steamed buns like this every day.

Seeing that her elder brother was ignoring her, Yu Yuehe turned her gaze to Yu Yuehui. Noticing her pale face, she felt guilty and cautiously asked again, "What should we do?"

She was so scared she almost cried after she finished speaking!

He really has no money! What should we do?

When Yu Yue saw his cowardly appearance, she was so angry that she laughed. Really, where was she before? She sighed helplessly and said, "You finish washing the dishes first. After you're done, go outside and shovel some dry soil in and sprinkle it on top."

"Make sure to sprinkle plenty!"

Yu Yuehe nodded obediently. After washing the dishes, he looked at the steamed buns a few more times with lingering reluctance before quickly running out to shovel dirt. After entering the house, he quickly sprinkled dirt on the water stains and cleaned them up. Without even washing his hands, he ran back, grabbed a steamed bun, and began to eat it in large bites.

This scene made Cherry's vision go black. It was so filthy; the once clean white steamed bun was now covered in several handprints.

Only he could bring himself to do it.

Yu Yuehua turned her face away immediately, not wanting to look anymore. It was too annoying. He was even more troublesome than Mao Dan. Such a simpleton, and her stepmother was still thinking of finding him a wife. Humph!

Who would want him?!

Gu Bin, who had been watching from the sidelines, was amused by the situation. He tried hard to suppress his laughter. He thought to himself: This Yu Yuehe is really interesting. You could say he's simple-minded, but when food isn't involved, he's quite clever; but once food is mentioned, he's like a completely different person, with only food in his eyes.

Wu Dali frowned in disgust, watching Yu Yuehe grab the steamed bun with his dirty hands and eat it. He couldn't help but mutter, "Such a good steamed bun, what a waste." Looking at how he wolfed down the bun in just a few bites, he looked just like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit. What a pity for such a good steamed bun.

At noon, Xie Yan returned home and was quite taken aback by the sight of the house full of people and the lively scene.

Mao Dan was chasing Hei Hei around the yard, shouting and yelling as he ran. Add to that the noise of several men sitting together, bragging, and it was absolutely deafening. Xie Yan felt his head buzzing, and his heart started racing.

He silently withdrew his foot from inside, took a deep breath at the doorway, quickly composed himself, forced a polite smile, and then stepped into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Yu Yuehua spotted him and immediately started chatting with him before he could even ask who it was.

Although the men at their table weren't drunk, they were already showing signs of intoxication. Once they got into a lively conversation, they became unrestrained in their speech, spouting all sorts of boastful things. Xie Yan listened from the side, inwardly puzzled and secretly astonished.

No one expected that Wu Dali and Yu Yuehe would get along so well. The two had previously disliked each other, but after discovering that they could both ice skate, and that they both claimed to be quite good at it, they instantly became friends.

Yu Yuehe has always been skilled and daring. After the lake in the village freezes over, he often goes up and skates around on it. He said that once when he was a child, the ice on the lake was not thick enough, and he skated all the way to the middle of the lake.

Just as they were skating with great enthusiasm, they suddenly heard a "crack." The ice surface instantly broke. Those on the edge reacted quickly and ran ashore in time. But Yu Yuehe and another simpleton were in the middle of the lake, still racing. Caught completely off guard, they both fell straight into the lake.

It was the dead of winter, and the lake water was freezing cold. Wearing cotton-padded clothes, their weight instantly doubled the moment they got wet. Both of them could swim, but their clothes made it impossible for them to float. Luckily, Yu Yuehua and the others nearby cried out for their parents, alerting the adults who were sunbathing on the dam in front.

Thanks to the adults who arrived in time, they were able to rescue the two silly boys from the water.

Everyone thought that after this incident, the two of them would be traumatized and wouldn't dare to take such risks again.

But the result was unexpected, and that's where Er Lengzi's nickname came from. Both Er Lengzi and Yu Yuehe caught a cold after returning home, but they were both usually healthy, and each of them drank a bowl of herbal medicine and got better.

After recovering, Er Lengzi actually went ice skating again! The day after they fell into the lake, it started snowing heavily, and the previously broken lake surface froze over once more. Er Lengzi, that guy, actually went ice skating on a snowy day. Of course, he was lucky; the temperature dropped sharply those days, and the ice was very solid, so Er Lengzi didn't have another accident.

Yu Yuehe was initially a little scared of the ice, but when he heard that Er Lengzi was already skating there, he couldn't sit still anymore. He thought to himself, why can he go, but I can't?
