As usual, after dinner, Erhua prepared to go to the top of the mountain to look at the wind.

Before I could go out, I saw my master bringing in a little mermaid.

"Qiuhua!"

Erhua yelled, and Qiuhua ignored the sweat on his forehead and shouted happily: "Brother! Haha, I finally found you!"

Seeing her happy look, he felt relieved. When he saw Qiuhua just now, his heart tightened, and he thought something had happened at home.

"Why are you here? You're sweating all over. Is there something wrong at home?"

"It's okay, what could be wrong? School is on vacation, and Mom asked me to come and ask you to go home and visit the graves."

Qiuhua was pulled into the house and Erhua poured him some water. Luo Zhen immediately guessed that the little fish in front of her was Qiuhua, and hurriedly asked her father to give Qiuhua some peanuts.

"Why did you come all this way to call me? Before I left last time, Mom told Qingming to go back. I remember that. I plan to go back tomorrow."

"It's okay. I wanted to come here on my own. I came to see if my brother has learned his craft well. If not, I'll go back and tell Mom." Qiuhua laughed and took a big sip of water from the bowl. "It's so hot, I'm thirsty."

"It's not hot, it's just that you're walking too fast."

Qiuhua smiled and said nothing, drinking the rest of the water in one gulp. Erhua stood up and poured more water.

"Sister, are you Sister Luo Zhen?"

Luo Zhen smiled and nodded, saying, "Eat some peanuts and take a rest."

Qiuhua couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no wonder her father always said that Master Tang would never want to recruit Erhua as a son-in-law, Sister Luo Zhen is really so beautiful, her skin is different from her own, it is very white, and her face has a rosy complexion, unlike Qiuhua herself who went out to cut grass for pigs and pick rice ears since she was a child, and her face is a little yellow.

I've never seen any mermaid with such white skin!

She sighed inwardly, it was over. How could Sister Luo Zhen possibly fall for Erhua? She had originally been thinking about Dahua and Sister Xiaojuan, Erhua and Sister Luo Zhen, but now it seemed like Erhua's plans were going to fail.

Erhua brought water to Qiuhua and sat down beside her to peel peanuts for her. He pinched the shells between his thumb and index finger, breaking them in half. He then poured the peanuts inside onto the table. Qiuhua didn't hesitate, stuffing them into her mouth one by one.

"You two have such a great brother-sister relationship!"

Luo Zhen hadn't taken her eyes off Qiuhua since she entered the house. She liked this little mermaid. She looked young, but she exuded a sense of maturity. In front of Erhua, she acted like a real little girl. Luo Zhen had been alone at home since she was a child. Because of her leg, the children in the village didn't want to play with her. She envied having brothers and sisters.

"What's good about it? It's not as good as I imagined, nor as bad as I imagined. I take care of you when I need to, and it doesn't delay quarrels and fights."

Qiuhua curled her lips and said, "Sister, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. He is so much older than me, but we never quarrel. He only quarrels with Dahua."

Luo Zhen laughed out loud, and Tang Sannan was also happy to see his daughter happy.

"Qiuhua, you can stay and sleep with Luo Zhen tonight. Go home with your brother after breakfast tomorrow morning."

After Master Tang said this, Qiuhua also thought it was a good idea. She looked at Erhua with anticipation, and Erhua expressed his approval without saying anything.

Because Qiuhua came, Tang Sannan went to the street in the afternoon and bought some braised beef. He already had some pork ribs soup at home, so he just needed to stir-fry some Chinese cabbage.

When Qiuhua came, she also brought a large basket of shepherd's purse, each one of which was very plump. Tang Sannan took out some and soaked them in water so that he could stir-fry them tomorrow.

"Come on, and bring so many dishes."

He filled Qiuhua's bowl with rice and added several slices of braised beef.

The aroma of the braised beef was palatable before I even took a bite. It was Qiuhua's first time eating braised beef, and she was so greedy she finished two slices in one sitting. It was incredibly fragrant! This aroma was different from homemade meat; it seemed like a lot of seasoning had gone into it. The initial flavor was the seasoning, but after a few chews, the beef's aroma came through. The meat was a little firm, but not dry, and had a nice, chewy texture.

"Uncle, I picked these vegetables myself. They're not expensive. The shepherd's purse has bloomed. This is the last batch. I'm giving them to you to eat."

The little mermaid is so adorable!

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, as if you have never eaten meat at home."

While saying this, Erhua put another piece of pork ribs into Qiuhua's bowl.

"Isn't it just that I haven't eaten meat?"

Luo Zhen was amused again by seeing Qiuhua talking with his mouth full of rice.

Seeing her smile, Qiuhua felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he was too rude in someone else's home, and he couldn't help but slow down his eating speed.

Qiuhua didn't see Luo Zhen get up all afternoon. It wasn't until before dinner, when Master Tang called for dinner, that Erhua went to help Luo Zhen. Qiuhua felt strange at the time, wondering if her legs were numb from sitting too long. But then she saw her stand up from the wooden platform, her shoulders uneven, as she walked towards them.

Qiuhua was stunned for a moment. Sister Luo Zhen’s leg is not good!

But the sensible little mermaid immediately reacted, looked away, and pretended nothing had happened.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Luo Zhen brought Qiuhua another quilt. Her sister's bed was softer than Zhao Meiying's. Although it was spring, it was still cold at night. Qiuhua curled up in the quilt and didn't want to come out.

"Sister, Mom asked me to ask my brother if he is doing well in learning the craft." Qiuhua has not forgotten her second mission of coming here.

Luo Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, he's very serious and hardworking. He helps Dad with many things around the house."

Perhaps it was the moonlight, Qiuhua seemed to see her sister blushing.

She suddenly felt that maybe Erhua had a chance.

"Sister, what do you think of my brother?"

When Luo Zhen heard Qiu Hua ask this, her face started to burn. She felt good about it, but she was too embarrassed to say it directly.

"What about someone?"

"Do you think he's good?"

Luo Zhen said nothing, only nodded. Qiuhua felt that her elder sister thought Erhua was good. She felt happy. She had originally thought that her elder sister would definitely look down on Erhua, but it seemed that she might not. Qiuhua was more insightful than Erhua. Although her elder sister had a bad leg, she was so beautiful and had the skill of carving rosewood. Plus, she liked Erhua and Qiuhua, which was perfect.

Isn't it true that everything depends on mutual consent?

As long as you are willing, you will feel happy looking at the other person even if he or she is ugly.

So whether they are worthy or not is up to them to decide, and outsiders' opinions have no influence. Qiuhua thought so, and on the way home tomorrow, she would just ask her brother about his feelings, and who knows, something good might happen.

The young Qiuhua was very careful in his considerations and paid special attention to the affairs of the brothers. He also liked Sister Luo Zhen and thought it would be perfect to marry her.
