“Hehe, the Village Chief’s family is quite interesting, lively with many people and lots of trivial matters.

Little Kingfisher stood on the eaves of the roof, listening to the gossip at the corner, enjoying it, and sharing it all with his master.

“My brother is only nine years old, yet he already caught someone’s attention.

Ah, this cursed charm.”

Su Qingluo sat on a small stool at the kitchen door, resting her cheek on her hand as she watched Su Zixuan busily cooking on the stove, skillfully handling the pots and pans. She couldn’t help but sigh at her brother’s flourishing love life.

“The girls in the village get engaged early. Maybe when Su Hu and his wife return, Uncle Dashan’s daughter-in-law will really come to inquire about their intentions.”

With nothing to do while waiting for the food to cook, Little Kingfisher’s gossip-loving heart began to stir again.

“Mother probably won’t agree.”

Su Qingluo rested her cheek on her hand and smiled knowingly: “In mother’s heart, caring for her brother and sister is different. Mother hopes that Sister will have a smooth life, marry into a good family, have children, and enjoy a loving marriage. ”

“But it’s different for brother. Mother places higher expectations on him, hoping that he will study hard, leave the mountains, and venture into the prosperous cities.”

“Perhaps this is the difference between boys and girls. No matter how strong a girl is, parents will still worry about her when she is alone outside. If she doesn’t get married for the rest of her life, she will be criticized for growing old alone.”

“Boys don’t have these concerns. Parents expect them to establish their careers first and then get married. Once they become successful and marry a noble lady, they will bring glory to the family.”

“Doudou has a higher talent for studying than Sister Qiao, with a flexible mind, strong comprehension, and good memory. He has received high praise from the Academy’s Master.”

Little Kingfisher was well-informed. There was nothing it didn’t know. Even if it didn’t deliberately inquire about something, other birds would always try to please it by sharing news.

Knowing that it liked to hear gossip, they would go around looking for interesting things to tell it.

“He’s smart and hardworking, so it’s very likely that he’ll pass the imperial examination, become an official, marry a noble lady, and bring glory to his family in the future.”

“Hehe.”

Su Qingluo was amused and joked, “Yin’er, I didn’t expect you to have such a high opinion of my brother. I thought you’d dislike him for not knowing how to ride a horse and laugh at him for being clumsy.”

Little Kingfisher was embarrassed. It did have a bit of disdain for Su Zixuan, but it didn’t expect its feelings to be so obvious that both siblings had noticed. “Sister, it’s time to eat.”

While the siblings and the bird were chatting and laughing, Su Zixuan skillfully finished cooking dinner and carried the tray out of the kitchen with a smile, inviting Su Qingluo to the living room for dinner.

“Alright.”

Su Qingluo patted her hungry little belly and followed Su Zixuan into the living room with a bright smile, her short legs taking quick steps.

Su Zixuan placed the small wooden table with the dishes on the heated brick bed and helped his sister up. The siblings sat facing each other and happily began to eat.

The meal was simple, a bowl of rabbit meat, a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, two steamed buns, a plate of spicy cabbage, a plate of pickled green beans, and two bowls of millet porridge.

The steamed buns were cooked by Li Xiu’e before she left. They just needed to be heated before eating. The spicy cabbage and pickled green beans were preserved in jars, ready to be cut and eaten whenever needed.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes was Su Zixuan’s specialty, with the tomatoes being sweet and sour, and the eggs fragrant. The siblings ate with great enjoyment.

“Sister, eat more rabbit meat. After we finish, I’ll take the bowl back to Aunt.

While Su Zixuan ate, he didn’t forget to take care of his sister. He picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in Su Qingluo’s bowl.

“Brother, what do you think of Sister Cuihua from Uncle Dashan’s family?”

Su Qingluo’s gossiping side was sparked by Little Kingfisher. “What do you mean, what do I think?”

Su Zixuan was puzzled and didn’t understand her intentions.

“Nothing, just eat. Brother, you too.”

Su Qingluo shook her head, and the gossiping spark in her heart was instantly extinguished..
