Fu Beimo said, "Mother said that you are only a few months older than me and Yuanlian."
"How many months? Three months or four months?" He counted on his fingers, "Three months, yes, only three months!" He shook three fingers in front of Yan Funing's eyes, "Sister-in-law, I'm not a child anymore!"
The tone was full of coquettishness.
Fu Ciyi rarely smiled and said, "Only children act like spoiled brats with their sister-in-law."
Yan Funing laughed along, her laughter was light and pleasant.
Fu Beimo puffed up his cheeks and said angrily, "I'm so sad, so uncomfortable, I want to cry..."
Yan Funing smiled again: "Okay, Bei Mo is a young man, not a child."
"That's more like it."
Only then did Fu Beimo feel like eating the chestnuts in his hand. The chestnuts had tasted bad just now.
--
We chatted all the way and before we knew it, we arrived at the village school.
The village school is surrounded by a wall, and an old man sits at the gate to guard it.
When he saw Fu Ciyi coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile: "The Master is here."
Fu Ciyi nodded to him.
The old man at the gate stared at Yan Funing and Fu Beimo for a while, then asked with a smile, "Are these two the Master's younger brother and sister?"
Fu Beimo frowned and said hurriedly: "Old man, you are so blind. I am the teacher's younger brother, and this is my sister-in-law!"
The old man smiled awkwardly: "It turns out to be the master and his wife, please come in quickly!"
He muttered to himself, this teacher is so young, and he already has a wife at such a young age, no wonder he didn't notice it.
Master and Madam...
This name sounds quite nice. A smile appeared on Yan Funing's lips, and she followed Fu Ciyi into the village school with light steps.
The village school occupies a fairly large area, with a courtyard in the middle and a large classroom next to it filled with desks.
Fu Ciyi pointed to a room next to the classroom and said, "This is the office, used for preparing lessons."
Yan Funing looked back and saw several rooms behind the teaching building.
"What's that room over there used for?"
Fu Ciyi said, "The room on the left was the old master's former residence, the one on the right is for me to rest, and the one near the gate is occupied by the old man and woman who are the gatekeepers."
Fu Beimo ran into the classroom and waved to his brother, "Brother, you sit upstairs. My sister-in-law and I will sit downstairs to listen to your lecture."
Yan Funing smiled and said to Fu Ciyi, "Master, it's time for you to start your lecture."
The voice is playful.
After saying that, she lifted her skirt, took a few quick steps, and sat down next to Fu Beimo.
Fu Ciyi shook his head helplessly. Although he thought their behavior was childish, he still stood behind the three-foot podium.
Yan Funing held her chin up and said, "Master, please teach me a few words."
Unexpectedly, Fu Ciyi said, "Bei Mo has been enlightened, but as for you, I'm afraid your self-esteem will be hurt."
The implication is that Fu Beimo had already been enlightened in his childhood. Although he is now mentally retarded, he can still recognize many words.
As for her, she couldn't even read, and it would be embarrassing for her to learn now.
Yan Funing gritted her teeth and smiled.
She had the urge to hit someone.
If she wasn't so delicate and had smaller fists, she would definitely want to try what it felt like to beat someone up.
At this time, Fu Beimo began to recite the Three Character Classic while shaking his head.
Fu Ciyi took a few books from the podium and placed them in front of Fu Beimo: "Read carefully."
After saying that, he raised his hand towards Yan Funing.
Yan Funing thought he was going to tell her about teaching her, so she followed him obediently.
Unexpectedly, he walked to the house where he rested in the village school.
"You brought me here, is..."
"Can you help me see what else I need to add to the house?"
He opened the door and motioned her to come in.
Yan Funing lifted her skirt and walked in. She looked around the room and found it quite large, even larger than the west wing of their own house.
The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, unlike my home which is rammed earth.
There was a desk, a large bed and a wardrobe against the inner wall in the room.
She nodded: "The conditions are pretty good, but the bedding for the bed needs to be prepared."
But why is there a big bed in the room? The bedding alone needs to be big.
At this time, an old lady came in without saying hello.
"Oh, my old man told me that Master and Madam were coming over, so I came." She patted the bed, "Are you going to sleep here tonight?"
Yan Funing hurriedly shook her head: "No, I won't sleep."
The old lady smiled and said, "The new quilts and bedding are being made quickly. They will be ready after the village school starts. I was worried that you would stay here tonight. Since you won't sleep here tonight, you'll be in time for school."
Yan Funing: "..."
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Auntie."
The old lady smiled and waved her hands: "It's a good thing that the teacher agreed to teach. It won't be hard for me at all."
As long as there is a teacher coming to teach, the old couple can continue to guard the gate, which will also bring in some income.
After a pause, she continued, "Since the master has a wife, I have to tell the cotton-fluffing master to make a bigger quilt and two pillows."
Yan Funing: "..."
Fu Ciyi nodded: "Thank you."
Seeing that the young master was very polite, the old lady smiled so much that her eyebrows were not eyebrows and her eyes were not eyes: "I guarantee it will be warm, and you two will sleep well."
Yan Funing held her forehead, uh...
A bit embarrassing.
How does someone manage to remain calm?
The old lady looked at them again, then went out with a smile.
Arriving at the gate of the village school, she patted the old man on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Old man, this young couple is so handsome!"
The old man nodded. "Well, I didn't expect that such beautiful people could be born in our countryside. They are both good-looking. I thought they were brother and sister, but I found out they were husband and wife. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really not easy to find someone equally good-looking to pair up with them."
Inside the room, Yan Funing's lips twitched slightly: "I think this place is great, the bed is big enough. You can rest here alone and feel comfortable."
Fu Ciyi responded indifferently, without being able to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Suddenly, Fu Beimo called out from outside: "Brother, sister-in-law, where are you?"
"I'm going to see Bei Mo."
Yan Funing lifted her skirt and quickly walked out of the room.
Fu Ciyi looked around the room and walked out.
The three of them sat in the church for a while, then got up and prepared to go home.
Yan Funing asked, "When do you plan to start school?"
Fu Ciyi said, "We're going to notify every household in the next two days. Classes will probably start on the 21st of the first lunar month."
Just as the three of them stepped out of the gate of the village school, a horse-drawn carriage came rushing over and knocked the old couple who were sitting at the gate chatting to the ground, along with their small stool.
The two men stroked their legs, frowning as if they were feeling uncomfortable.
"Hey!" Fu Beimo ran towards the carriage and shouted, "You almost hit someone!"
The people in the carriage probably realized that they almost hit someone, so the carriage stopped.
Yan Funing asked the old man and woman who were guarding the door, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
The two shook their heads: "It's just a scratch."
"Even if it's just a scratch, we need an explanation. What should we do if students come to the village school and see a carriage speeding past the school gate?"
Yan Funing was about to go over and argue with the guy, but unexpectedly someone got off the carriage first.
The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was fanning himself with a folding fan in the cold weather.
