Qiu Yumei and her family had already taken their seats.
Zhao San, Zhao An, and Zhao Yang rarely dined at Xingyuelou, and seeing this table full of dishes and hot pot, they were filled with suspicion.
Seeing this table full of raw food was especially strange.
In addition to the raw meat slices that Qiu Yan personally cut, there were also tripe, pork tenderloin, sausage, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, potato slices... This way of eating made them feel novel.
Especially these raw meat slices, as thin as cicada wings, took Qiu Yan a lot of effort to make.
Zhao An asked, "Cousin, what day is it today?"
Qiu Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, can't we have dinner together?"
Zhao Yang: "Of course."
During the meal, Zhou Zifang glanced at Qiu Ling'er beside Qiu Xu, then at Ling Ba sitting upright with a serious expression beside him, and felt a little uncomfortable.
He nudged Qiu Xu's sleeve, "Ah Xu, let's change seats."
Qiu Xu didn't understand why, but still switched with him.
As soon as Zhou Zifang sat down next to Qiu Ling'er, he warmly poured hot water into her cup.
"Ling'er, it's cold. Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Qiu Ling'er smiled as she looked at Zhou Zifang, who was being very attentive to her, and thought to herself, "They don't seem to be that close, do they?"
She nodded to Zhou Zifang, took a small sip of water, and then made Zhou Zifang look away.
Zhao Yuanyuan was a little reserved at first, but with Qiu Yan and Qiu Dayu around, she didn't feel neglected.
Before long, she gradually relaxed and chatted casually with Qiu Dayu and Qiu Yumei beside her.
At first, everyone took turns eating, but by the end, when everyone had left the table, Gu Xiaoran was still lying on the table, smacking her lips as she ate.
Qiu Yan didn't get up and simply stayed with Gu Xiaoran to continue eating.
Until the meat slices were gone, Gu Xiaoran looked at Qiu Yan expectantly. "Still hungry."
Qiu Yan felt helpless. She stared at Gu Xiaoran's round little belly and shrugged, "I can't cut any more."
Gu Xiaoran pouted, looking sullen, which made Qiu Xu shake his head and move away from her.
Gradually, the sound of the seven-stringed zither filled the entire Star Moon Tower, its lingering notes causing everyone to frequently look up.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yan looked up and saw her younger sister smiling as she plucked the strings of her zither. Her charming appearance filled Qiu Yan with a sense of comfort.
The younger sister had her hair tied in two buns, her face was rosy and glowing, her cheeks were pink, her lips were cherry red, and she exuded a lively and spirited aura.
I had heard that she was stunningly beautiful at the age of eight, and it was absolutely true. Her younger sister was someone she liked more and more the more she looked at her.
Zhao San glanced at his two sons who were staring intently at Qiu Ling'er, smiled gently at Qiu Yumei, and whispered in her ear, "Yumei, when are we going to give our sons a little sister?"
Qiu Yumei blushed instantly, glanced at Zhao San, and unconsciously placed her right hand on her lower abdomen.
Seeing her two nieces, she also wanted to have a daughter.
Zhou Zifang clasped his hands behind his head, leaned against the wall, and stared intently at Qiu Ling'er on the second floor, recalling her appearance when she first came here.
They don't look like the same person at all.
"What are you looking at?" Qiu Dayu waved his hand lightly in front of Zhou Zifang's eyes, interrupting his thoughts...
As for Qiu Dafu, he and Zheng Hong followed the wheel tracks all the way, but they still couldn't find the horse by dusk.
Zheng Hong looked dejected as he thought about the long journey ahead.
Looking at Qiu Dafu, whose expression remained unchanged, Zheng Hong was convinced that if he didn't start a conversation, Qiu Dafu wouldn't even bother to say a word to him.
"Brother Qiu, what were you doing in Huaiyuan earlier?"
