Xiuchun's eyes lit up when she heard Ningjing's words, but she also glanced at her second sister cautiously.
Thinking of what her eldest sister said when she returned home after their parents passed away, her bright eyes dimmed again.
Siya, however, was completely bewildered and did not understand what Ning Jing was saying at all.
Seeing the different expressions on the three people's faces, Ning Jing sighed inwardly.
The Great Wall wasn't built in a day; changing the mindset of the children in the family takes time.
First and foremost, you have to go to school.
You must first learn the characters before you can understand the principles and distinguish right from wrong.
When Xiuhua and the others put the things on the table, they were surprised to find that Fu Hongxing had lit a kerosene lamp.
Even with the lights flickering a few times, they still illuminated the entire room enough to clearly see people's silhouettes.
This brought joyful smiles to everyone's faces.
Who would want to eat in a dimly lit environment when there's light?
Because Fu Hongxing was there that evening, Xiuhua cooked about ten more sweet potatoes.
Each person could get two. Ning Jing felt that she was full with cornbread, so she put one of the sweet potatoes directly in front of Fu Hongxing.
The other three looked at each other and silently gave one of their sweet potatoes to their eldest brother.
Fu Hongxing looked at the pile of sweet potatoes in front of him with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Although he had a big appetite, it didn't mean he liked to eat so many sweet potatoes!
Luckily, the sweet potato wasn't very big, or he would have been stuffed to death.
He thought for a moment and said to Ning Jing, "Tomorrow, take out all the rice from home and I'll take it to the mill to husk it."
From now on, at home, we'll just use half refined grains and half whole grains; there's no need to be so frugal.
After taking a bite of sweet potato, I picked up a spoonful of oily fish sauce and put it in my mouth, and my eyes lit up immediately.
He stuffed the sweet potato in his hand into his mouth in a few bites, and after a couple of bites of sweet potato, he would take a bite of small fish sauce.
The taste was so delicious that he felt he could eat several more sweet potatoes if he wanted.
After finishing her meal, Ning Jing realized something.
This place has only one room, and inside there's only one wooden bed.
The seven of them were already a little nervous lying down, and now, with Fu Hongxing added to the mix, how were they going to sleep?
Most importantly, Fu Hongxing is a real adult man.
The thought of sharing a room and a bed with an adult man made Ning Jing feel extremely uncomfortable.
Fu Hongxing looked at the size of the wooden bed, silently went out, took a few bundles from the straw piled up behind the house, and carried them into the room.
"I'll sleep on the floor tonight, you can sleep on the floor."
Ning Jing looked at Fu Hongxing, who was bending over and spreading straw, opened her mouth, and for some reason, suddenly felt a little guilty.
This used to be his home, but now he has to sleep on the floor.
After everyone had gotten into bed, Fu Hongxing turned around, blew out the kerosene lamp, and lay down.
He could hear the rustling of straw as Fu Hongxing lay down.
Ning Jing lay on the bed and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Fu Hongxing, who was lying on the ground.
The room was completely dark, so you couldn't see anything.
In the darkness, Fu Hongxing's sixth sense was particularly strong, and he had been trained so that he could vaguely see figures even in pitch black night.
The faint sounds of bodies twisting on the bed, the gazes directed at them, and the positions of the people who had just lain down were all present.
Fu Hongxing didn't need to guess to know that this person was Ning Jing.
For some reason, his body stiffened, and he subconsciously stopped himself from making any more noise.
