Fu Ciyi's lips moved slightly, and he said to Li Xinheng, "Drive."
Yan Funing was startled, then walked out of the restaurant.
Because it was hot, the doors and windows were open while the car was driving.
Although Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing were sitting in the car together, they didn't speak to each other all the way.
Li Xinheng, on the other hand, kept talking: "Sir, in the past few months, the girl not only gave us monthly wages, but also gave us rewards."
Caiyu also said: "Many families in the village follow the girl and make a lot of money."
Li Xinheng turned his head to glance at Caiyu, who was sitting at the car door. "The reward is more than my monthly salary. My mother said that if this continues, I'll have a wife."
As he spoke, his face turned red unconsciously.
Caiyu saw his ears turning red at a visible speed and couldn't help but joke, "Uncle Li wants to get a wife."
Li Xinheng raised the corners of his lips and did not refute what Caiyu said.
But Caiyu's next words made him tighten his grip on the reins: "What kind of wife does Uncle Li want? At his age, he can probably only find an old girl."
"Caiyu, it's not right for you to talk like that, at least..."
Li Xinheng paused, not knowing what to say next.
Caiyu chuckled and said, "Uncle Li, I'm a junior, please don't bother with me."
Li Xinheng was depressed.
He didn't have money to marry a few years ago, but now that he has a little money, people actually think he is too old.
The two began to bicker.
The car was driving fast and after a few words, it arrived outside the Fu family's yard.
Caiyu stuck out her tongue at Li Xinheng and helped her young lady out of the carriage.
As soon as Fu Ciyi entered the yard, Fu Beimo and Meng Li surrounded him.
"Brother is back."
"The young master is finally back."
Hearing the sound, Wan Niang was supported by Fu Nan Yao and walked out of the kitchen.
"Is Ci Yi back?" Wan Niang stretched out her hand.
Fu Ciyi carried his bag, took a few quick steps, and held onto his mother's arm: "Mom, I'm back."
"I heard that you were going to stay until the Autumn Examination. Are you coming back to stay for a few days temporarily, or do you have other plans?" Wan Niang asked.
Fu Ciyi glanced at Yan Funing and said calmly, "I haven't decided yet."
Wan Niang patted her son's arm and said gently, "You've been staying at the academy for three months and a few days. You've stayed there for such a long time, which shows that studying at the academy is very efficient. If you want to stay longer, I will definitely not object."
Everything is more important than the autumn examination.
Fu Ciyi: “…”
He just came back, so what does it matter to his mother whether he comes back or not?
Fu Nanyao saw her brother wearing the summer clothes she had made, and asked happily, "Brother, does this dress look okay on you?"
Fu Ciyi said "hmm" and caught a glimpse of Yan Funing entering the west wing.
He thought he looked okay.
When she met the mysterious man today, she didn't even look at him.
Could it be that I am not as good-looking as that sickly guy?
It's so annoying. Whenever he sees her, he starts to guess what she's thinking.
Fu Ciyi pinched his brows, said something to his mother, and prepared to put the bundle in the west wing.
Just as he was about to step over the threshold, Yan Funing was ready to come out.
The two of us were at the door, you let me go and I let you go.
After a long while, Yan Funing stood sideways and let him pass.
Fu Ciyi stepped over the threshold, feeling depressed. She used to be chattering non-stop, but today she was so frugal with her words.
When he turned around to look at her, all he could see was the shimmering hem of her skirt.
Well, he might as well not come back.
But since I'm already back, I'll just spend the night at home and go back to school tomorrow.
It was still early at this moment, and Fu Nanyao pestered Yan Funing to cook.
"Sister-in-law, can you cook today? I've been cooking for a while now, and not only are Bei Mo and Ali tired of it, I'm tired of it too."
Yan Funing smiled: "Okay, I'll do it today."
Remove the tendons on the sides of the edamame to make simple salted edamame.
Peel the gourd, cut it into pieces, and cook it into soup with fresh meat slices.
Remove the tendons from the green beans and cut them into inch-long pieces for later use. If there are a few strips of bacon left, remove a section and cut it into slices. This will create a fragrant stir-fried green beans and bacon.
Peel the pumpkin vines, cut them into small pieces, crush the garlic, and stir-fry them together. This is a dish of stir-fried pumpkin vines.
In view of the fact that someone had returned, Yan Funing made an extra dish.
The pumpkins grown at home not only have many vines, but the tender vines can be used for stir-frying. The earliest batch of pumpkin flesh has already turned yellow.
She made a dish of fried pumpkin with salted egg yolk.
At dinner, the whole family enjoyed a satisfying meal.
Especially the fried pumpkin with salted egg yolk, which has an attractive color and is fragrant and glutinous in the mouth. The light salty fragrance is wrapped in the sweetness of the pumpkin, which is very delicious.
Fu Beimo, Meng Li and Caiyu kept eating and had no time to talk at all.
"Brother, these are all made by my sister-in-law. Aren't they delicious?" Fu Nanyao praised, "My sister-in-law is worthy of being the restaurant's young shopkeeper. Not only does she cook well in the restaurant, but she also cooks good home-cooked dishes."
Fu Ciyi said in a rather calm voice: "Okay."
Wan Niang asked, "Did Ci Yi ever think of the dishes Fu Ning cooked while he was in school?"
Fu Ciyi paused in his eating and saw that everyone present was looking at him, even his mother's lifeless eyes were "looking" at him, only Yan Funing lowered her head.
For some reason, he said, "I'm so busy with classes and exam preparation that I don't have time to think about anything else."
Fu Beimo snorted and stuffed a piece of pumpkin in his mouth: "Whenever I'm away from home for a day, I'll miss the food my sister-in-law cooks."
Wan Niang smiled and shook her head: "You, have you ever left home for a day?"
Everyone laughed.
Just as Fu Ciyi stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the pumpkin, Yan Funing moved the plate of fried pumpkin with salted egg yolk in front of him to Fu Beimo: "Beimo, if you like it, eat more."
