The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

After a heavy snowfall, a thick layer blanketed the ground. Fang Liuming stepped on the creaking snow and headed to the butcher’s shop to buy meat, "Boss! Do you have any lamb?"

"Yes, we have a lamb leg! How much do you want?" The boss, seeing him, smiled and came out to greet him, "Going to your cousin’s house for a meal again!? Every time you bring something over, you really know how to behave!"

Fang Liuming said with a slight smile, "Then, please cut me two pounds of lamb." His cousin couldn’t eat much, so he wanted less.

"Alright! Two pounds of lamb coming up!" The boss quickly moved the lamb leg over and cut him two pounds, "Two pounds and a bit extra. Since you come to buy meat often, I’ll just charge you for two pounds!"

"Well then, thank you very much, boss!" Fang Liuming said with a smile, taking out his purse to pay.

The butcher’s wife then inquired, "I remember you’re about sixteen or seventeen now, it’s time to start talking about marriage, isn’t it?" It was previously said that he was waiting for Pei Qin, and if things didn’t work out with Young Master Shen, she would marry Fang Liuming, her cousin. Now that Pei Qin had married someone else, it was time for Fang Liuming to look for a match too, right? He was handsome, well-educated, and extremely polite. Had he not been waiting for Pei Qin, he probably would have been engaged already.

Fang Liuming, feeling a bit shy, smiled, "It’s still early for that!"

"Not early at all! Settle the engagement this year, and you can get married next year!" the butcher’s wife teased with a smile.

Fang Liuming, holding the meat, smiled and left, stepping on the snow towards Liu’er Alley.

Turning back, the butcher’s wife said, "Honestly, this Fang Liuming! He used to come here often enough, but now that Pei Qin is married, he comes even more frequently!"
