Shi Meiling picked up the bowl and took a sip of water before she could recover enough to answer An Qingbai.

"Don't even mention it! I went to look for her near my home, and I had to go to several houses before I finally found her! It was so hot!"

An Qingbai continued to fan his mother with the fan.

"Did you and Aunt Wang agree on a date for your second brother to go to Jinhua Brigade to look at potential partners?"

Shi Meiling wanted to hear An Qingbai's opinion, so she asked him.

"Third brother, do you think it's too hasty for me to have your second brother go on a blind date tomorrow? It's not good for him to be on blind dates so soon after his divorce?"

An Qingbai nodded.

"It's really too hasty to arrange a meeting tomorrow, Mother. How about waiting another two weeks?"

Shi Meiling thought it was acceptable.

"I discussed with Matchmaker Wang that we would let your second brother look at the potential partners a few days later. I'll ask him for his own opinion first. Half a month won't make a difference!"

When I told An Qingsong, he happily agreed.

"Mom, I have no objection! I'll just wait another half month!"

An Qingsong looked at Shi Meiling.

"Mother, shall I go and tell Yuelan in advance? Is that alright?"

Shi Meiling glared at him.

"If you tell Yuelan now, it won't be good for people to see! It will damage Yuelan's reputation. If you go in half a month, at least people won't think that your divorce is because of Yuelan!"

An Qingsong scratched his head.

"I have to let her know, or should we just go and meet her in person?"

Shi Meiling nodded at him.

"How could you be so stupid? You could have just had any child pass a note to Yuelan! Why did you have to go in person? You're so incredibly stupid!"

An Qingsong grinned foolishly.

"Hehe, I just hadn't thought of that!"

The next day, An Qingsong went to find Hu Zi.

"Tiger, can you do me a favor?"

Tiger looked at An Qingsong strangely.

"Brother Qingsong, what kind of help do you need?"

An Qingsong put his arm around Hu Zi, whispered a few words in Hu Zi's ear, and then looked at Hu Zi expectantly.

"How is it? Is it okay?"

Tiger confirmed with him again.

"Are you really going to buy me an ice pop?"

An Qingsong nodded affirmatively.

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you?"

Tiger finally believed it and looked at An Qingsong with a grin.

"Let's go, Brother Qingsong. Anyway, you're the one who has to take me to the entrance of the next village and then take me back! Of course, don't forget the popsicle!"

An Qingsong smiled and ruffled Hu Zi's hair.

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't forget! I'll buy you popsicles when I get back!"

An Qingsong then rode his third brother's bicycle with Hu Zi to Jinhua Brigade.

As they approached the entrance to Jinhua Brigade Village, An Qingsong stopped his bicycle and put Hu Zi down.

"Sister Yuelan's house is just walk straight from the village entrance until you see a big persimmon tree in the yard. That's it, remember?"

Tiger patted his little chest.

"Don't worry, I've memorized it all! If I can't remember, I can ask someone!"

An Qingsong took out the letter he had written to Yuelan from his pocket and put it in Hu Zi's pocket.

"Tiger, just give the letter to Sister Yuelan. Only give it to Sister Yuelan, understand?"

Tiger rolled his eyes.

"Brother Qingsong, you're so long-winded! Alright, I'm going into the village now, just wait for my good news!"

An Qingsong smiled helplessly, having been lectured by the child.

Tiger followed the road and found Hu Yuelan's house.

It just so happened that only Hu Yuelan was at home. When she opened the door, she saw a child.

Who are you looking for?

Tiger felt that the person who opened the door was the Yuelan sister he was looking for.

"Are you Sister Yuelan?"

Although Hu Yuelan found it strange, she still responded.

"I am Hu Yuelan, what can I do for you?"

Tiger nodded, took the letter out of his pocket, and handed it to Hu Yuelan.

"Sister Yuelan, this is a letter from Brother Qingsong! Alright, my task is complete, I'll be going now!"

Hu Yuelan's heart started pounding whenever she heard the name "Green Pine".

I had just realized what was happening and hadn't even poured Tiger some water yet when I looked up and found that Tiger had already walked far away.

After closing the door, Hu Yuelan patted her excited heart before nervously opening the letter with trembling hands.

"Yuelan, seeing this letter is like seeing you in person."

I recently got divorced. My mother thinks it will affect your reputation, so she suggested that I visit your home in two weeks to meet you.

I will definitely go to your house as scheduled this time. I am writing to you so that you can be mentally prepared. You must wait for me to bring the matchmaker to your door!

The evergreen pine that I miss.

Hu Yuelan was very happy.

He responded to the letter with a happy reply.

"Qingsong, I will be waiting for you!"

She blushed as she recounted her story.

"I miss you as well!"

Hu Yuelan touched the letter again and again, carefully tucking it into her textbook. She wanted to treasure it, as it was the first letter Qingsong had ever given her!

An Qingsong waited for Hu Zi in the same spot. As soon as he saw Hu Zi, he pulled him aside and asked him questions.

"How's it going, Tiger? Did you give the letter to Sister Yuelan?"

Tiger proudly told An Qingsong.

"Brother Qingsong, don't worry, I can handle it without any problem. I handed it over directly to Sister Yuelan. Now we should go buy some popsicles!"

An Qingsong smiled and agreed.

"Okay, let's go buy popsicles now!"

An Qingsong was in a great mood as he rode back to the brigade after buying popsicles.

He had planned to share his good mood with his third brother, but when he returned and couldn't find him, he was puzzled.

Tsk tsk! They really can't be apart for even a day. I don't even need to guess to know that my third brother has gone to find his future sister-in-law again! But hehe, in a while I'll also have someone to look for, haha!
