Chapter 6 Eyes facing each other
“No, it’s not.”
Yan Funing took a small bundle and moved.
In the baggage are her clothes, and there is no luggage beside it.
The two entered the house one after the other.
The house has not been inhabited for a long time, and even if the steps are gentle, a lot of dust is still raised, and the dust illuminated by the light also floats.
Yan Funing wanted to ask him why he didn't tell his family that she was the one who rejected his marriage, but seeing so much dust in the house, she had no choice but to shut up and clean it up.
I just moved to the countryside. Although I don’t have much luggage, it still took me a lot of time to pack it up.
——
Noon.
Wan Niang blamed herself: "It's all my fault for being useless."
They came out of Fu's house without any rice or noodles, so they were hungry.
"When I came out, I brought some steamed buns, and I'll have some for lunch." Fu Ciyi took out a cloth bag and put it on the table, "In the afternoon, I went to the mountains to collect firewood."
< br>Pick some game by the way.
While talking, he first gave his mother a steamed bun.
Fu Beimo moved quickly, took one in each hand and started to chew.
Fu Nanyao took a steamed bun and put it in Yan Funing's hand: "Sister-in-law, eat it quickly."
Yan Funing: "Thank you!"
The weather was cold and the steamed bun had already frozen hard.
Fu Beimo only took a few bites and couldn't eat anymore. He shouted to go collect firewood.
Wan Niang said: "I just ate the morning food. It's okay to be hungry. It's just a pain for my daughter-in-law."
Although the daughter-in-law is not a daughter-in-law of the Yan family, she has been pampered since she was a child. Marrying her The eldest son followed suit and endured hardships. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely distressed.
Yan Funing stuttered, not knowing how to answer, she just said: "I'm not hungry."
It is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem since ancient times, but her nominal mother-in-law is really good , soft-spoken and gentle-looking.
After a slight pause, Yan Funing said again: "I'm going to collect firewood too."
Afraid that someone would not take her with her, she raised her eyes to look at him.
Fu Ciyi never expected that she would meet his eyes like this.
He stood and looked at her, one high and one low.
From this angle, he could easily catch her expression.
Her eyelashes were thick and slender, and her watery eyes stared at him unblinkingly, like a little fox begging for love...
Innocence mixed with cunning.
Just say that this woman has a purpose in everything she does, and now that she has nowhere to go, she starts to pretend to be pitiful in front of him?
But what surprised him was that her eyes were clear and clean.
"Just let their brothers go."
Wan Niang's words made the two people who met each other look away and each ate the cold steamed buns.
Yan Funing lowered her eyes and said, "If you have one more person, you can pick up more. It's cold today and the firewood will burn quickly."
Wan Niang then agreed to her going.
Before leaving, Fu Ciyi took a few strips of cloth and tied them together to prepare for bundling firewood. Yan Funing took out a basket from the woodshed and carried it on her back.
The two called Fu Beimo and walked into the mountains together.
The weather is cold, and there is almost no large firewood to collect on the hills near the village.
The three of them had no choice but to head into the mountains.
Fu Ciyi, tall and long-legged, walked in front, silent all the way.
Fu Beimo followed Yan Funing, kicking dry twigs on the ground as he walked, and kept mumbling: "...Sister-in-law, have you ever seen ants fighting?"
< br>Yan Funing shook her head: "No."
"Ant fighting is really fun to watch. Next time I will bring my sister-in-law to watch it together."
"Okay."
Fu Beimo said happily: "Brothers and sisters never agree to watch with me, it's better for my sister-in-law."
Fu Ciyi, who was walking in front, paused imperceptibly. Is a certain girl good?
It’s just appearance.
He wants to see how long she can act?
The mountains are probably infested with wild animals and are inaccessible to humans. There was a lot of firewood on the ground, and the three of them picked up a lot after a while.
They piled the firewood together and tied it into bundles.
When the firewood was bundled into four piles, Fu Ciyi said coldly: "Wait for me here, I will come back as soon as I go."
Fu Beimo: "Oh."
Yan Funing: "Okay."
When Fu Ciyi's figure disappeared from sight, Yan Funing walked to the other side.
Fu Beimo followed her footsteps, thinking that she was still collecting firewood, so he said, "Sister-in-law's basket is too small to hold firewood."
Yan Funing patted the dust on her hands: "The basket on the back is not for carrying firewood."
"What is that for?" Fu Beimo chased after him.
"Collecting mushrooms." Yan Funing stopped and looked around, "Look for any dead trees nearby. If you are lucky..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw a lying tree. Dead wood is covered with wild oyster mushrooms.
Yan Funing ran quickly, picked off the flowers one by one and put them into the basket behind her.
Fu Beimo followed her example, picked it carefully and put it in her backpack.
Soon the backpack was full.
Fu Beimo muttered: "I can't fit it anymore."
"It doesn't matter, leave some of the small ones, and we will pick them again next time."
When the two returned to the firewood pile, Fu Ciyi had not yet return.
Yan Fu unpacked her backpack and squeezed her shoulders. This body is really delicate. Just carrying such a basket of mushrooms makes my shoulders sore.
Fu Beimo took some dead branches, squatted on the ground and pulled them, and suddenly shouted: "Sister-in-law, come and see, there are ants!"
Yan Funing moved her arms, walked to him, covered her skirt, and squatted down.
There are indeed a few ants on the ground.
"They didn't fight."
Fu Beimo said seriously: "Yes, they like to fight in groups."
Yan Funing said in surprise: "Your observation skills are very good."
Ants live in groups, and ants from different groups often clash, causing fierce fighting, just like two armies charging into battle.
The innocent boy in front of me can observe this, which is really amazing.
When someone praised him for the first time, Fu Beimo looked a bit like a teenager. He scratched his head and smiled shyly.
Others would only call him a fool, but his sister-in-law would praise him!
When Fu Ciyi came back, he saw two people squatting with their heads lowered and looking at the ground.
Hearing the footsteps, the two people on the ground raised their heads.
Yan Funing saw someone holding a pheasant in his hand, and he was clean and fresh, with no trace of the embarrassment left by catching the pheasant.
Isn’t this person a weak scholar? He can also catch pheasants?
On second thought, in the book, he tied her up and put a knife blade against her face. Such characters are probably not weak.
Fu Beimo waved to his brother happily: "Brother, come and see the ants."
Fu Ciyi thought to himself: "Twilight is about to set, let's go down the mountain."
Fu Beimo stuck out his tongue and made a face at his brother while he was turning around.
The appearance was funny and innocent, making Yan Funing giggle.
Fu Ciyi turned around when he heard the sound, his eyes sank slightly.
Yan Funing stopped laughing and picked up the basket, while Fu Beimo went to pick firewood honestly.
Fu Ciyi tied the pheasant to the firewood, picked up two heavy bundles of firewood, and led the way down the mountain.
When they were almost home, they saw the yard full of people.
A woman shouted: "Let's judge, are those who occupy other people's yards robbers?"
Fu Nanyao's face turned red with anger: "What is occupation? This is our yard! "
The woman put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly: "This is my yard. My parents are going to use this yard to find me a son-in-law. Everyone in the village knows it!"
