She didn't know how to get these things, but she would learn. When she saw Xu Yi calling for people, she would also call out in a similar manner.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt."

Because she was so hungry she had no strength left, Fu Man'er's voice was soft and delicate.
The adults in the Xu family were all dumbfounded. It was only when Fu Man'er spoke that they realized it was a little girl.
Finally, it was Grandma Xu who spoke up, "Little girl, whose child are you?"
She racked her brains but couldn't figure out whose it was. The village children might be a bit resilient, but they still looked the part.
This child looks like a little beggar, with a dirty face and tattered clothes.
The little girl's eyes shone as she looked at the food on the table. Because she wasn't tall enough, she stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck like a giraffe.
Xu Yi had already asked the same question once, and he quickly replied, "Grandma, she said her name is Fu Man'er, and she has no parents."
Hearing this, Fu Man'er nodded in agreement, "Fu Man'er."
I remember her name very clearly. The koi in Tianchi Lake are all carefully selected, just a few of them. Each one has a name given by Buddha, and hers is called Fu Man'er.
Liu Fang read the name aloud and looked at Old Lady Xu, "Mother, I don't remember having such a child in the village?"

She was a native of the village and knew some things better than Old Lady Xu. If she said she didn't have them, then it was very likely that she didn't.
As the 'gurgle' sounded, Fu Man'er's stomach suddenly started rumbling, and she was completely unaware of it.
Seeing the little girl staring longingly at the table, Old Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her. "Second daughter-in-law, go get a set of bowls and chopsticks."
"Yi'er, bring this little one and have him sit next to you."
"Let's start eating, then get back to work."
At Grandma Xu's command, everyone sprang into action. Fu Man'er was too small to even reach the wooden stool, so it was Xu's eldest son who carried her up.
"Thank you." Fu Man'er was very polite, looking up at Xu Genshan. Her face was dirty, but her eyes were round and bright.
The Xu family consists entirely of sons, each one of whom is incredibly mischievous. Hearing the soft, familiar tone of the voice, Xu Genshan felt much more at ease.
He's been sullen ever since he injured his leg, and he rarely speaks at home. Today, however, he looked unusually cheerful.
Ma Hong from the second wife quickly handed the bowl and chopsticks to Fu Man'er. The little girl held the bowl and chopsticks with her two small hands, looking confused.

She didn't know how to use it, so she looked at Xu Yi next to her and was momentarily dazzled.
She knows how to hold a bowl, but how does she hold chopsticks?
Fu Man'er clumsily tried to hold the chopsticks between her two fingers, but once she did, she couldn't move them because they would fall if she tried.
"Yi'er." Fu Man'er smacked her lips; she remembered that someone had called him that just now.
Xu Yi had just taken a big gulp of cornmeal when he heard the shout and almost choked.
Fortunately, Fu Man'er's voice was soft, and the adults were all talking and didn't notice them.
Fu Man'er stretched her hand holding the chopsticks forward a little, and Xu Yi looked at her knuckles, which were twisted together like chicken claws.
"You don't know how to use chopsticks?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wu, the youngest member of the second branch of the family, immediately exclaimed, "Haha, there are people even dumber than me who can't use chopsticks!"
His voice was quite loud, and everyone's eyes turned to Fu Man'er's little chicken feet.

"Xiao Wu," Ma Hong said in a low voice, glancing at her youngest son with a warning. "He's much younger than you, how dare you compare yourself to him?"
That's right. My son is already six years old, while this little girl is only two or three. How can they be compared?
When someone is told they are stupid, they get upset. "I'm not stupid, I'm smart!"
Fu Man'er had only recently returned to her original body, and her speech was still a bit slurred. Her earnest way of speaking each word made everyone laugh.
"This child, don't underestimate him just because he's so small. He's not smart at all, he's just stupid," Xu Genzhu, the second son of the Xu family, said with a chuckle.
Liu Fang got up and went to the kitchen. When she came back, she handed Fu Man'er a wooden spoon and took the chopsticks from her hand.
"Man'er, come here, eat with a spoon."
The spoon was placed in Fu Man'er's hand, but she still didn't know how to use it. She wanted to learn, but no one present was using a spoon.
Xu Yi taught her, but Fu Man'er's hands seemed to have a mind of their own, and she couldn't hold it properly. In the end, she simply turned her hand upside down, grabbed the spoon, and finally managed to shakily scoop a mouthful of cornmeal into her mouth.
This was the first time she had ever tasted human food. "Delicious, delicious," she mumbled, her mouth full of food.

Cornmeal is the most common and ordinary food. Every household can eat it. It can't be said to be delicious, but it just means that people won't go hungry.
The little girl's eyes were squinting as she ate; anyone who didn't know better would think she was eating something delicious.
Liu Fang is a mother herself, and the little girl's behavior inevitably touched her. "She's so content with just cornbread. What does she eat at home?"
Ma Hong also glanced at Fu Man'er, who was sitting among several boys and could not be seen unless you looked closely. "She probably doesn't know where her next meal is coming from." Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a state.
However, they only made a few remarks before the two sisters-in-law started chatting casually.
Slurping sounds echoed from the table. The men of the Xu family ate quickly, and the women weren't much slower. Even the children gradually put down their chopsticks.
Fu Man'er had barely finished the half-bowl of porridge in her bowl when Xu Yi turned his head and asked, "Want some more?"
Fu Man'er, who was about to nod, immediately shook her head. She was a clever koi fish; if everyone stopped eating now, she couldn't eat either.
She reluctantly placed the bowl and spoon on the table. Xu Yi didn't suspect anything, assuming that the little girl's appetite was just like that.
Grandma Xu stood up and instructed, "Eldest daughter, you stay home today, the rest of you come with me to till the land."

There's farm work to do in the fields, and plenty of things to do at home; no one can stay idle.
Everyone responded and got up to prepare to go. "Mother, what should we do with her?" Xu Yi didn't know what he was thinking when he brought her back from the mountain, but now he didn't know what to do with her.
Liu Fang, who was picking up the bowls and chopsticks, turned around and saw Fu Man'er looking up at her, calling out in a clear voice, "Mother."
