Fu Ciyi held the bamboo pole in one hand and the hammer in the other, and hammered the nail in easily.
Yan Funing and Fu Beimo were dumbfounded.
I always feel that they are not beating the same bamboo poles, let alone the same piece of ground.
Fu Ciyi pulled out the three bamboo poles they had just hammered and nailed them again, and only then did Yan Funing come back to her senses.
Someone is really good at nailing fences.
Fu Ciyi glanced at her and said to Fu Beimo, "Help me get the bamboo pole."
Fu Beimo responded and helped pass the sticks over one by one.
The two brothers worked together in this way, and soon they finished nailing the entire bundle of bamboo poles.
But the fence was in a very dilapidated state, and this bundle was not enough.
"Brother, sister-in-law, we still have to go pick up more bamboo poles."
Fu Beimo muttered something and was about to walk out.
Yan Funing called out to him, "Bei Mo, let's go next time. Today is the Lantern Festival, so we won't go."
Fu Beimo turned around obediently and smacked his lips: "Are you going to make the dumplings?"
Yan Funing said, "Pound the sesame seeds first."
After putting the hatchet and hammer back into the woodshed, the three of them went to the kitchen to wash their hands.
Fu Beimo washed his hands and asked, "What is pounding sesame seeds?"
Yan Funing explained with a smile: "Pounding sesame seeds means breaking them into pieces. If the sesame seeds are pounded finely and evenly, the resulting glutinous rice balls will be more fragrant and delicious."
Fu Beimo nodded as if he understood, not quite. He had only eaten it before but never cooked it.
Fu Ciyi washed his hands and slowly returned to his room.
Yan Funing and Fu Beimo went to the main room.
Yan Funing opened the small cloth bag containing sesame seeds and took a closer look. There were quite a few impurities, mostly finely divided sesame shells.
"We need to remove the impurities." She picked out some impurities and showed them to Fu Beimo, "This kind of thing cannot be eaten."
Fu Beimo nodded: "Oh."
Half a day passed and not much was picked out.
He is a man and is not good at such delicate work.
Fu Nanyao sighed: "Let me choose."
Fu Beimo said without mercy: "Sister, you are afraid that you will have nothing to eat, so you picked it out, right?"
"Whatever you say." Fu Nanyao snorted and concentrated on picking carefully.
Yan Funing smiled and went to the kitchen to look for tools to pound sesame seeds, but she couldn't find any after searching for a long time.
Then he returned to the main hall and asked Wanniang, "Mom, do you have a stone mortar for pounding sesame seeds at home?"
Wan Niang shook her head: "No, what should I do?"
"It's okay, Mom, I can use something else instead."
Yan Funing sat down and picked out impurities with Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo.
Fu Nanyao glanced at Yan Funing who was sitting next to her. If she hadn't scolded them and even scolded her for being lame and unable to get married, she wouldn't have given her a cold look every day.
To be honest, she is really beautiful.
It was so beautiful that even she, a woman herself, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Whenever she thought of the abusive words she had said, she became angry again and wished her brother would divorce her immediately and kick her out of the house.
Then she thought about how delicious the food she cooked was, and she felt a little reluctant to leave.

On the other side, the five members of the Hu family reluctantly spent five hundred coins to hire a carriage in the town and headed straight to the county town.
After all, the carriage was moving fast, and although the ride was bumpy, it relieved a lot of the fatigue from walking all the way to the town.
But they didn't have lunch, and when they arrived at the county town, their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.
The family got out of the car and entered the Fu Mansion.
When she was led to the front hall, Hu Ajing whispered to Fu: "Grandma, I'm hungry."
Fu said, "Just bear with it a little longer. Will your uncle's house still be short of food?"
Qian also said: "Yes, the snacks alone are enough to fill me up."
Thinking about the many snacks she had eaten last time, Hu Ajing swallowed her saliva.
When they arrived at the hall, the housekeeper ordered tea to be served and said, "We have sent for the Second Elder and the County Magistrate. Please wait a moment!"
Hu Dahai nodded and said in a pretentious manner, "Okay, thank you."
Then, I and my family sat in the seats we had sat in last time.
Last time Hu Ajing was standing, but this time she was really hungry, so she sat next to Fu.
Soon, the servant brought tea.
The Hu family waited and waited, but no snacks were served.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Have some tea, it's good tea, the kind our master usually uses to entertain guests. Have a taste."
The Hu family had no choice but to drink tea one cup after another.
For some reason, the Fu family didn't give them any snacks today, but only asked them to drink tea.
The more tea you drink, the hungrier you become.
Finally, footsteps were heard. Everyone in the house looked outside and saw that it was the second old master and the county magistrate.
The Hu family hurriedly stood up and waited until the Fu family father and son sat down before they sat down again.
The second old master asked with a cold face: "Why are you here again?"
The Hu family had no choice but to smugly tell Fu Zhengqing about what had happened in the past two days and showed Fu Zhengqing the written document signed by Fu Ciyi.
"There's no problem with this document." Fu Zhengqing said.
Hu Xingwang smiled flatteringly: "You are an official, and if the document is correct, does it mean that the remaining crops should be given to our Hu family?"
Fu Zhengqing placed the paper on the table and said with great dignity: "The written document is well-founded and what is written on it is fair."
Hu Xingwang couldn't believe it and asked again, "Are you saying that the remaining crops in the fields belong to Fu Wan's mother's family?"
The second old master picked up his teacup and blew on it. "Why are you so foolish? Don't you use your brain? If you want to destroy the crops, there are many ways to do it. Why cut them down? Once they are cut down, it will be just as what is written on the document."
He tapped his fingers heavily on the words of the document.
Hu Dahai was unwilling to give up and begged, "Master County Magistrate, please be kind. If this is a lawsuit involving the land and yard, can you help us?"
"Why are you bringing up the lawsuit again?" Fu lowered her voice and quietly pulled Hu Dahai, but he pushed her away.
