During her busy journey, Madam Meng took off her outer garment and hung it on a tree branch nearby.
I felt cold just now, but I'm actually getting warmer now that I'm working.
"Qing'er, take a rest if you're tired."
Xu Qing chuckled, shook her head, and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead. "I'm not tired." Even her grandmother didn't complain of being tired, so how could she, a teenager, say she was tired?
When Qiu Dafu and the others arrived, they witnessed this harmonious scene.
"Brother Qiu, you've arrived." Xu Qing looked up and smiled at Qiu Dafu. She had just been thinking that he should have arrived, but she happened to run into him.
"Sister Jiang is here too."
"Miss Xu is here too." Qiu Dafu nodded and clasped his hands in greeting. "Madam Meng."
Jiang Liu then bowed down, "Madam Meng, Miss Xu."
"Don't be so polite." Old Madam Meng supported Xu Qing with both hands and tugged at her slender wrist.
The first time she saw Jiang Liu, she felt a sense of familiarity. "A match made in heaven, a match made in heaven! Miss Jiang is so beautiful."
Qiu Dafu smiled slightly; Old Madam Meng's words had struck a chord with him.
Jiang Liu smiled gently and said modestly, "You flatter me."
"Sister Jiang is still so beautiful." Xu Qing's clear eyes held a barely perceptible hint of envy.
She hopes that she will meet a good man like Brother Qiu in the future.
I don't seek great wealth or high status, I only seek a stable and secure life.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that not only Jiang Liu, but also Qiu Yan and others were following behind.
As Qiu Yan approached, Xu Qing bent down and said softly, "Miss Qiu."
She paused slightly when she saw the scar on Qiu Yan's face.
"Madam Meng, Miss Xu," Qiu Yan returned the greeting with a faint smile.
Bai Lu did not step forward with the two women following behind her, but instead looked around at the beautiful mountain forest.
Living in this remote mountain forest is truly wonderful; it allows one to temporarily forget their troubles.
Qin Susu followed closely behind Qiu Yan, bowing slightly to Old Madam Meng. Then, her eyes swept over the unfinished pavilions and towers, and she exclaimed in admiration.
"Can you build houses in the mountains and forests?" And they're built so well.
This was the first time Qin Susu had ever seen it.
"Of course, from grand palaces to small villas and estates, they're everywhere." Qiu Yan thought of villas in the modern world.
"Miss Qiu is right." Old Madam Meng smiled kindly and began to greet the guests. "Qing'er, serve the guests tea."
After saying that, she patted Gu Xiaoran's head and said, "This little girl is so cute."
Xu Qing obediently did as instructed.
Gu Xiaoran spotted the old fisherman on the lake and ran towards him at top speed, Qiu Yan couldn't stop her.
She greeted Madam Meng and Xu Qing, then went straight to catch up with Gu Xiaoran.
Bai Lu and Qin Susu had nothing to do, so they followed behind Qiu Yan.
As for Elder Mu and Qiu Ling'er, they have not yet arrived.
With Qiu Ling'er's help, he was left behind.
Accompanied by Madam Meng and Xu Qing, Qiu Dafu and Jiang Liu sat around a wooden table, drinking tea and discussing the house construction.
Qiu Yan and Gu Xiaoran boarded a small boat on the lake and rowed towards the land of Elder Meng.
Meanwhile, Old Meng was rowing his boat to shore when he saw Qiu Dafu and the others arrive.
Seeing Qiu Yan and the other person made him feel much better than before.
The mountains and forests are deep and remote, and children rarely roam around, so there is little fun for children.
During their meeting, Qiu Yan gave a brief introduction, and they got to know each other.
The old man in front of me, though his beard and hair were white, was in high spirits.
Old Meng is getting on in years and all he wants is to be at ease.
Old Meng's basket now contained more than a dozen fish, which drew a wave of envy from Gu Xiaoran.
"Grandpa, may I borrow your fishing net?"
"Of course you can, but little girl, you can't lose this fishing net."
