"Thank you, mother. I like eating noodles!" Yan Funing obediently held Wan Niang's arm.
Wan Niang extended her other hand: "Ci Yi, you also support me."
Fu Ciyi knew what his mother was thinking, but he didn't expose her. He just went along with her and said, "Mom, walk slower."
Hu Ajing stared at the scene in front of her, and suddenly felt a sense of distress in her heart.
Fu Nanyao asked with a smile, "Since the Fu and Hu families are relatives, why didn't you go to the city to attend the wedding when my brother and sister-in-law got married?"
Hu Ajing was choked by the question. In fact, her grandmother had a falling out with her natal family when she wanted to marry into the Hu family.
It was an old story, how could she bring herself to say it out loud?
In fact, it was not my great uncle and his friends who asked my grandmother to look after this yard. It was my grandmother who felt that they had gone to the city to enjoy a good life and wanted to take it over.
That's how I made up a story to tell the villagers.
"I, I'm visiting relatives and don't have time to attend the wedding."
She left with a word, stamped her feet, and ran away.
Fu Beimo just pulled out a piece of firewood and wanted to chase the man away, but unexpectedly the man ran away on his own.
"Boring, why did you run away?"
Fu Nanyao shouted at Hu Ajing's back: "Because she knows that our brother has a sister-in-law, she must be sad."
"Having a sister-in-law is a good thing, why is she sad?"
"You don't understand."
Fu Nanyao walked into the kitchen with a smile.
Fu Beimo poked the ground with firewood and muttered, "That woman is not a good person. How could I not understand? I understand it too well."
One pound of flour plus water can make about one pound and four ounces of noodles.
There are five people in the family, and the three girls have smaller appetites. One pound and four ounces of noodles is just enough for the whole family to have a meal.
The hand-rolled noodles were cooked and everyone enjoyed them with relish.
"The noodles made by mom are so delicious!" Yan Funing praised sincerely.
It’s like eating the hand-rolled noodles made by my mother. My nose suddenly feels sore and I miss home.
"If you like it, go get more. There's more in the pot," Wanniang said. "If you add an egg, the noodles will be chewier and more delicious."
"I'm full." Yan Funing lowered her head and spoke with a choked voice.
Hearing something wrong in her voice, Fu Ciyi tilted his head slightly, only to see that her head was half lowered, and he couldn't see her expression.
Yan Funing quickly adjusted herself and raised her head, saying, "I'll go into the mountains this afternoon to pick the remaining oyster mushrooms. I'll go to town tomorrow to see if I can exchange them for some eggs."
"I just mentioned eggs casually. You take a rest, kid. The two brothers went into the mountains."
Wan Niang said this and asked Fu Nan Yao to accompany Yan Funing back to her room.
The aunt and sister-in-law came to the west room and sat down to talk about what they saw and heard in the town today.
After all, we were not very familiar with each other. After a few words, we just smiled at each other and couldn't find any other topics to talk about.
Yan Funing watched her slowly press her lame leg and asked softly, "Can I ask what's wrong with your leg?"
Fu Nanyao patted his leg and said with a helpless smile: "The bone was broken, and it turned out like this after it was reconnected."
Seeing that she was unwilling to say why her leg was injured, Yan Funing didn't ask any more questions.
Fu Beimo's voice came from outside, shouting that he wanted to go to the mountains.
After a while, he appeared at the door and said to Yan Funing with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let's go into the mountains. Maybe we can see ants fighting today."
Fu Nanyao said disdainfully, "How could you take my sister-in-law to see ants?"
Fu Beimo stuck out his tongue at her: "You won't watch with me." He turned and smiled at Yan Funing, "Sister-in-law is a good person. She will watch ants with me."
She even praised him for being so awesome.
My sister-in-law is the best sister-in-law in the world!
Fu Nanyao glared at Fu Beimo, stood up, and limped out of the house.
Yan Funing went to Wan Niang and said, "Mother, I still have to go into the mountains."
Wan Niang said, "You have been to town, you should have a good rest."
"Last time when I was picking oyster mushrooms, my husband went to catch pheasants. As for Beimo, I'm afraid he doesn't know the way."
Thinking that it was indeed easy to get lost in the deep mountains and that Bei Mo's mind was like that of a child, Wan Niang agreed to let her go.
The three of them went into the mountains together again.
It was a rare opportunity that his sister-in-law persuaded his mother to go into the mountains with him. Fu Beimo was so excited that he jumped left and right beside Yan Funing.
Seeing that she was carrying a backpack, he naturally took the backpack from her back and put it on his shoulders.
Fu Ciyi was walking in front as usual. When he turned around and saw his brother's behavior, he frowned.
The empty backpack wasn't actually heavy, as she had injured her shoulder carrying the mushrooms to town. Now that her shoulder felt lighter, Yan Funing felt a lot more relaxed.
"Thank you Bei Mo!"
Her voice is delicate and soft.
Fu Ciyi's deep eyes were filled with disgust.
This woman who crushed his pride and self-esteem inch by inch even had such an annoying voice.
Fu Beimo smiled even more happily and made up his mind that after picking the oyster mushrooms, he would carry them back home.
After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the field where we picked oyster mushrooms yesterday.
Fu Ciyi said, "It might take longer today, so don't run around."
He left after saying a few words.
Fu Beimo put down his backpack and picked oyster mushrooms with Yan Funing.
Soon all the oyster mushrooms on the dead tree were picked.
Fu Beimo patted the dirt on his hands: "Sister-in-law, there was more yesterday, less today."
Yan Funing frowned when she saw the oyster mushrooms that only took up half of the basket.
When they left yesterday, there were still quite a lot, enough to fill a backpack, and even some left over.
But today there are suddenly fewer.
"It's probably been picked by someone else."
Fu Beimo said angrily: "Who is it?"
Yan Funing said calmly, "Many villagers saw it when I returned home yesterday."
As the saying goes, live by the sea, eat by the sea; live by the mountain, eat by the mountain. The villagers naturally know that this wild oyster mushroom is edible.
Edible fungi are rarely seen on the hills near the village. Most of them are picked as soon as they grow.
