"Coming." Qin Yu responded to the shout, asking his sister to watch the kids while he fetched water.
"Qing Zhu, are you almost done?" Qin Yu came over and saw Qing Zhu dealing with crayfish, but wasn't this a bit too much?
"No, just enough for us to have a meal, that's all. Why, do you want to help?" Qing Zhu asked Qin Yu without even looking up.
"Sure, I'll help right after I get the water for my little sister." Qin Yu felt bad watching the two sisters busy themselves while he idled by, it weighed on his conscience.
"You're quite dutiful. Hurry up, the sooner we finish, the sooner you can eat and rest." Qing Zhu's line of thinking was different from Qin Xue's; unless the work was done, how could there be food? Helping out would speed things up, after all.
Qin Xue watched them from the side, shaking her head. She'd told her brother not to help for ages, but Qing Zhu managed to pull him over with just a few words. Oh well, let him help, it'll speed things up anyway.
