Chapter 30: Sincere Desire to Learn



"The daughter of the Hu family is very bad."

Fu Beimo rolled up his sleeves and showed his injured arm to coachman Li.

Coachman Li looked sideways at his bandaged arm and asked in surprise, "She really dared to cut someone?"

Fu Beimo nodded heavily: "Yes, cut with a sickle."

Coachman Li patted his chest with lingering fear, fortunately he was not favored by Hu Ajing at that time.

Yan Funing and Fu Beimo returned home after lunch.

The family hadn't eaten yet and were waiting for them.

Although Fu Nanyao kept complaining, she didn't eat first.

Wan Niang smiled and said, "The food is all hot in the pot. Ci Yinan Yao, please serve the food quickly."

The brother and sister said yes and went to the kitchen.

Yan Funing took out peanuts, melon seeds, glutinous rice flour and sesame seeds, while Fu Beimo put the backpack in the woodshed.

After they washed their hands, they finally had a hot meal.

Fu Beimo came back with an empty stomach and started eating voraciously.

Yan Funing said, "Mom, we got to town too late and couldn't buy any walnuts, but we did buy glutinous rice flour and sesame seeds. How about we make some glutinous rice balls tonight?"

Wan Niang smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Fu Nanyao said, "Don't glutinous rice balls taste good without walnut kernels?"

"Sesame dumplings are delicious too. If you don't like them, don't eat them."

Fu Beimo's mouth was full of food, and when he spoke, rice grains sprayed onto Fu Nanyao's face.

Fu Nanyao said angrily: "Shut up while eating, don't you know?"

Although she was speaking to Fu Beimo, her eyes were looking at Yan Funing.

Fu Beimo swallowed the food in his mouth and retorted: "Didn't my sister speak too?"

Wan Niang pretended to be angry: "Alright, alright, can't I shut up your mouths even when I'm eating?"

Yan Funing glanced at someone secretly.

He sat upright, his eyes slightly lowered, and ate slowly, as if what was happening around him had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Fu Beimo said again: "My sister-in-law and I got some peanuts and melon seeds. Don't eat them later, sister."

Fu Nanyao frowned and angrily said to Fu Beimo, "I want to eat it."

Fu Ciyi then spoke: "Is it very noisy? Go out and make enough noise, then come to the table."

Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo fell silent at the same time.

Yan Funing understood that the twins were afraid of their older brother.

After cleaning up the dishes after dinner, Yan Funing placed the brown paper package on the dining table and opened it.

Although the fragrance of peanuts and melon seeds is light, my family members could smell it immediately because they hadn't eaten them for a while.

Fu Beimo grabbed a handful and gave it to his mother, then grabbed a handful for himself and ate it, then raised an eyebrow at Fu Nanyao.

Fu Nanyao was not willing to be outdone, so she grabbed a handful and ate it herself.

"Sister-in-law, stop her quickly." Fu Beimo shouted.

Yan Funing shook her head at him, then grabbed a handful and put it on a plate, then sent it to someone in the room.

After lunch, Fu Ciyi went back to his room to copy books.

Seeing Peanuts and Melon Seeds at this moment, he said to her indifferently: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Yan Funing thought that all the Chinese medicine knowledge left by our ancestors were treasures.

If she could buy a few rare medical books, that would be a great blessing. She has a solid foundation in both Chinese and Western medicine, and with diligent study, she will surely achieve great things.

It’s just that traditional Chinese characters are used in this era.

Although she can understand most of it, she sometimes has trouble with a single traditional Chinese character.

Especially in the field of medicine, the words used in professional terms cannot be guessed, and even more so, cannot be taken carelessly.

At this moment, looking at the regular script someone was writing in the notebook, which was neat, steady and powerful, she suddenly had an idea.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Fu Ciyi asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

He really didn't like being disturbed when he was copying books.

He also didn't like the fact that this woman was staring at him for no reason.

"I want to discuss something with you."

Yan Funing rested her arms on the desk, leaned over, and smiled.

The book says that the female supporting character cannot read, and in the original body's memory, she is indeed illiterate.

In someone's impression, she is also illiterate, so ask him to teach her.

Fu Ciyi raised his eyelids, looked at her casually, and met her eyes at first sight.

The eyes are bright, clear and translucent, and the eyelashes are thick and long.

There is a faint light in his eyes, and he smiles like a fox.

"What is it?"

He shifted his gaze back to the notebook, dipped the ink and continued writing.

Yan Funing stood up and asked, "Can you teach me how to read and write?"

Her voice was soft, her pretty eyes and eyebrows raised in a faint smile, and her slender fingers peeled a few peanuts for him.

Thinking that he didn't like her feeding him, she put it in a corner of the plate.

"Can't."

His voice was calm and no emotion could be heard.

"Why?" she was puzzled.

After thinking about it, she realized that it was because the grudge was too deep.

That's the only possibility.

Fu Ciyi's thin lips moved slightly: "I don't want to teach."

It was clearly a gentle voice, but it contained indifference and was as cold as water.

"Oh, I see."

Yan Funing let out a breath and left the room.

It was still early to make dumplings, so she went to the woodshed and took out the bundle of thin bamboo sticks she had picked up last time.

He also took a hatchet and a hammer.

Fu Beimo, who was in the main room, saw this and put down the peanuts and melon seeds in his hand.

"Sister-in-law, I'll do it."

He was really afraid that his sister-in-law would hurt her hand again.

Yan Funing threw the thin bamboo pole on the ground and said, "I want to chop off the branches and nail the bamboo pole into the fence."

In the entire village, their fence is the most broken.

"That's easy."

Fu Beimo took the hatchet and began to chop the branches properly.

The bamboo branches were chopped off quickly, and soon a bundle of thin bamboo poles was ready.

The uncle and his sister-in-law worked together, one holding and the other hammering, nailing the thin bamboo poles one by one into the gaps in the fence.
