Liu Sanshun and his brother both had faces like their sister, Liu Xiaomei—round and smooth. But while this face was quite cute on Mei, it was somewhat comical on her brothers. Paired with their short, stout builds, if they were to put on women's clothes, they could probably pass as Mei's sisters.
The two youths were also mischievous. Once at the table and after a few words, they cast aside their reserve and began a drinking contest with Qingmu and Zhang Huai. Yang Family had snatched Zheng Changhe's bowl, forbidding him from drinking any more, so he could only watch the younger ones carouse with envy. Juhua whispered with Liu Xiaomei, chatting about ordinary yet endlessly interesting topics. Mingled with their conversation was the sound of Little Shitou and Gou Dan yelling as they played rock-paper-scissors. Zhang Yang watched from the side with a smile. The room was indeed very lively.
