After eating watermelon, it was almost eleven o'clock. Jiang Xinyu hurriedly went to steam rice and also made a steamed egg dish.
Qiao Jingyi followed closely behind Jiang Xinyu.
"Jingyi, has Zhou Qingying returned?"
"No, she wrote to me saying she has someone. What do you think she's looking for? Why stay in such a distant place?"
"I can't figure out her thoughts either. She's found someone over there, she must want to settle there."
"Yes, if she gets married, we won't be able to go over."
"Will she not return for the visit home?"
"She said she's not coming back."
"If I have time, I'll write her too, asking if she's coming back. If not, I'll send her the gift I prepared."
"You have gifts?"
"Of course. You see this enamel basin? I prepared a set for each of you, along with a teapot. They look particularly beautiful."
"These flowers are really pretty."
