He thought he had spoken quietly enough, but everyone in the family heard it.
Fu Nanyao came out of the house and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out you don't even know how to light a fire. No wonder you asked me to light the fire before and then asked Bei Mo to do it."
Yan Funing's pride rose: "Who said I can't?"
It is indeed a bit difficult to burn the firewood.
She said to Fu Beimo again: "You don't need to help today, I can do it alone."
After saying that, he went into the kitchen.
She wanted to show Fu Nanyao that she could cook a complete meal by herself.
Trying not to use her right hand as much as possible, she washed the rice and put it in the pot.
It was a bit difficult to start a fire.
Recalling how Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo made a fire, after lighting the fire, they blew towards the stove with a bamboo tube, and she followed suit.
After taking a few puffs of the cigarette, it actually lit up.
Yan Funing let out a long breath.
After that, I cooked and fried pork ribs. Although it was a bit busy for one person, the meal was still completed successfully.
When the food was served on the table in the main hall, Fu Beimo clapped his hands and laughed, "Great, I can eat spare ribs again!"
Fu Nanyao no longer needed to be called out, as she followed the aroma and came over. When she saw the food on the table, a look of astonishment flashed across her eyes.
Looking up at Yan Funing's face covered in coal dust, he covered his lips and laughed, "Your face looks like a cat, and you still say you can make a fire."
Fu Beimo stuffed a piece of pork ribs into Fu Nanyao's mouth: "Eat yours!"
Hearing this, Yan Funing wiped her face with her hands.
Feeling that she couldn't wipe it clean enough, she simply went back to the kitchen. There was no mirror at home, so she wiped the dust off her face by looking at her reflection in the basin.
When she returned to the main room to eat, Fu Nanyao was still laughing at her.
Fu Beimo pointed at both sides of her cheeks: "Sister-in-law, there is still dust on your face."
"where?"
Yan Funing touched her face and realized she had already wiped it.
Wan Niang said, "Nan Yao, help your sister-in-law wipe it."
"I won't!" Fu Nanyao bit the pork ribs angrily.
Fu Ciyi turned sideways and raised his hand to wipe Yan Funing's cheek.
The dust got on my face and it was difficult to wipe it off in just a few strokes, so I used the tip of my thumb to apply force.
Yan Funing felt pain on her face after he twisted her like that, but she didn't dare to say a word.
After all, someone dared to wipe her face with a knife.
Even though tears were forming in his eyes, he still didn't dare to move.
In an instant, her almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and the corners of her eyes turned red, making her even more charming.
Fu Ciyi was startled, as if he had hurt her.
How can she be so delicate?
Suddenly a scream broke the silence in the room.
"Brother, how do you wipe her face?"
Fu Nanyao's eyes widened in shock.
Wan Niang laughed and said, "Your brother and sister-in-law are husband and wife, so why can't they do that?"
Only then did Fu Ciyi realize that he had unconsciously helped a woman wipe the dust off her face.
Then he retracted his hand and coughed lightly: "Let's eat."
Fu Nanyao was so angry that she poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks.
Doesn’t my brother hate women who cancel his engagement the most?
Why is today different?
"Sister, you're so ignorant!" Fu Beimo said with a smile, "At night, brother hugs sister-in-law to sleep, and during the day, brother helps sister-in-law wipe her face. What's wrong?"
He gnawed on the ribs, his mouth full of oil.
Wan Niang couldn't stop laughing: "How can you keep talking about this, kid?"
"I'm not wrong." Fu Beimo said in confusion, "Sister-in-law is a girl. It's dark at night and she will be scared. Brother will definitely hug her to sleep."
He only knew that once a man and a woman got married, they could sleep in each other's arms.
As for what he did while sleeping, he had no idea.
Yan Funing half lowered her head and ate her meal.
Unless she and someone are both possessed by evil spirits, they will not sleep in each other's arms.
Fu Ciyi suddenly regretted wiping a certain woman's face.
However, the smoothness of her skin seemed to still remain on his fingertips.
The hand holding the chopsticks unconsciously clenched, and the touch of his fingertips could not be shaken off.
The finest jade and the smoothest silk cannot compare to this touch.
An inexplicable irritation welled up in his heart. It must be because she smiled at him too many times today and fed him malt candy.
--
The Hu family had dinner at the Fu Mansion before returning.
The Hu family felt much more confident now that they had finally gotten to know a relative who was the county magistrate.
They still took the Fu family's carriage back to the countryside. When they arrived at the village, the Hu family wished that everyone in the village would know.
However, when I got home, it was already late at night and the neighbors had turned off the lights and gone to bed.
Even if they wanted to show off, they had nowhere to say it.
The next morning, the Hu family got up early.
They first told their neighbors that they had eaten two meals at the county magistrate's house yesterday.
Feeling that the compliments they received were not enough, Hu Dahai and Fu went to the big tree in the village.
It takes two people to hug this big tree.
The elderly people in the village often chat under the tree.
Not far from the tree, there is a well. The water is warm in winter and cool in summer, and many villagers come to draw water every day.
Therefore, this place is like the news distribution center of the village.
After hearing Hu Dahai and his wife's boasting, someone really complimented them, "With the county magistrate as your uncle, your Ah Jing will definitely find a good husband."
At this time, Hu Ajing came to fetch water from the well.
Hearing the compliments, she looked proud: "That's right, if an orphan girl without a father or a mother can find a good husband, why can't I?"
Soon a young woman asked her, "Who is this orphan girl without a father or a mother?"
"Who else could it be? It's that daughter-in-law of Fu Wanniang. It's said that she's the adopted daughter of the Yan family. Tsk tsk tsk, her status has suddenly dropped from Miss Jiao."
Hu Ajing slowly lowered the bucket into the well and then pulled it out.
After hearing the incredible news, the young woman leaned closer to Hu Ajing and said, "No wonder she looked so unusual in her clothes. This is why."
