It's not like he didn't sense the intentions of his master and Luo Zhen during his long training, but he'd always avoided them, pretending he hadn't noticed anything. Before he knew Luo Zhen was crippled, he'd been yearning for her, but when this beautiful, well-off young mermaid couldn't even walk properly, he completely dispelled his previous ambitions.
He admitted that he was a jerk!
Erhua, who was already looked down upon, now married a cripple. He could no longer hold his head up high!
After that, Erhua's conversation became more disjointed. The sun was setting, Xu Guoqing went home, and his mother went into the house to knead dough. Chunhua started crying, and his father went in to hug Chunhua. Only Dahua, Erhua, and Qiuhua were left outside the door.
"Erhua, study hard. It's so rare that a master likes you. What a great thing."
"Yeah, I know."
Erhua knew that Dahua was sincere. He knew that his elder brother was honest and hardworking, and had no ulterior motives.
On New Year's Eve, a pair of candles were lit on the long table. Mom rolled the kneaded dough into square wonton wrappers.

"Erhua, thanks to the five yuan you bring home every month, we've paid off all the work points at home."
My mother was very quick and had wrapped more than twenty wontons in front of me in a short while.
Erhua felt a little embarrassed. He had never been praised like this before. He felt a little flattered and felt that he must learn this craft well.
"Qiuhua too, you've worked hard on the embroidery."
"Mom, these are nothing. Wait until I make a lot of money for you."
"Just learn the craft well!"
"Okay! I will definitely study hard!"
Wontons on New Year’s Eve are probably the most delicious meal of the year!
