Chapter 11 Brothers Fight "Thank you, mother, I like noodles!" Yan Funing held Wan Niang's arm obediently.
Wan Niang stretched out her other hand: "Ci Yi, you also support my mother."
Fu Ciyi knew what his mother was thinking, but he didn't reveal it. He just followed her and said, "Mom, walk slower."
Hu Ajing stared blankly at the scene in front of her, her heart suddenly filled with panic.
Fu Nan asked with a smile: "Since the Fu family and the Hu family are relatives, when my brother and sister-in-law got married, why didn't you go to the city to have a wedding banquet?"
Hu Ajing choked up when asked. In fact, her grandma had a falling out with her natal family because she wanted to marry into the Hu family.
How could she say it out loud when it was something old?
In fact, it was not the yard that uncle and the others asked Grandma to look after. Grandma thought they were enjoying the blessings in the city and wanted to occupy it.
Only then did he make up a story and tell it to the villagers.
"I, I'm going to visit relatives, I don't have time to have a wedding banquet."
Without saying a word, she stamped her feet and ran away.
Fu Beimo had just pulled out a piece of firewood and wanted to drive someone away, but he didn't expect the person to run away on his own.
"It's 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."
"It's a good thing to have a sister-in-law, why is she sad?"
"You do not understand."
Fu Nanyao entered the kitchen with a smile.
Fu Beimo poked the ground with firewood and muttered: "That woman is not a good woman. Why don't I understand? I understand so well."
One pound of flour mixed with water can make about one pound and forty ounces of noodles.
There are five people in the family, and the three women eat less. 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 served, and everyone ate them deliciously.
"The noodles made by my mother are so delicious!" Yan Funing praised sincerely.
It was like eating the hand-made noodles made by my mother, and my nose suddenly became sour and I felt homesick.
"If you like it, go ahead and put it into the pot. There is still some in the pot." Wan Niang said, "If you can add an egg to it, the noodles will be more chewy and delicious."
"I'm full." Yan Funing lowered her head and spoke with a hint of sobs in her voice.
Hearing something wrong in her voice, Fu Ciyi turned his head slightly, only to see her head half lowered, unable to see her expression.
Yan Funing quickly adjusted herself, raised her head and said, "I'll go into the mountains in the afternoon and pick the remaining oyster mushrooms. I'll go to town tomorrow to see if I can come back in exchange for some eggs."
"I just said eggs casually, kid, you rest while the two brothers go into the mountains."
Wan Niang said and asked Fu Nanyao to accompany Yan Funing back to the room.
The aunt and sister-in-law came to the west room and sat down to talk about what they had seen in the town today.
After all, they were not very familiar with each other. After a few words, they smiled at each other and couldn't find anything to talk about.
Yan Funing watched her slowly pressing the 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 is broken, and it becomes like this when it is reattached."
Seeing that she didn't want to say why she hurt her leg, Yan Funing didn't hesitate to ask.
Fu Beimo's voice came from outside, shouting that he was going to the mountains.
After a while, he appeared at the door of the room and said to Yan Funing with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let's go into the mountains. We might see ants fighting today."
Fu Nanyao said disgustedly: "How can you take your sister-in-law to see ants?"
Fu Beimo stuck out his tongue at her: "You don't want to watch with me." He turned his eyes and smiled at Yan Funing, "Sister-in-law is a nice person, she just wants to watch ants with me."
She even praised him for being 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, "Mom, I still have to go into the mountains."
Wan Niang said: "You kid has gone to town and needs a good rest."
"Last time when I was picking mushrooms, my husband went to catch pheasants. As for Bei Mo, I'm afraid he doesn't know the way."
Thinking that it was indeed easy to get lost in the deep mountains, and Bei Mo's mind was like a child's, Wan Niang agreed to let her go.
The three of them entered the mountain together again.
It was rare that his sister-in-law persuaded his mother to follow him into the mountains. Fu Beimo jumped for joy all the way, jumping 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 Ciyi was still walking in front. When he turned around and saw his younger brother's behavior, he frowned.
The empty basket was actually not heavy, but my shoulders were injured from carrying the oyster mushrooms to this moment, Yan Funing felt a little lighter on her shoulders.
"Thank you Beimo!"
Her voice was delicate and soft.
Fu Ciyi's deep eyes were filled with a layer of disgust.
This woman who had crushed his pride and self-esteem inch by inch even had a voice that was so annoying.
Fu Beimo smiled even more happily and made up his mind that when he picked the oyster mushrooms, he would carry them home.
After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the place where we picked mushrooms yesterday.
Fu Ciyi said: "Today may take a long time, so don't run around."
Leave a word, turn and leave.
Fu Beimo put down his backpack and picked mushrooms with Yan Funing.
In a short while, all the oyster mushrooms on the dead wood were picked.
Fu Beimo patted the dirt on his hands: "Sister-in-law, there was more yesterday, but less today."
Yan Funing looked at the oyster mushrooms that only took up half of the basket on her back and frowned.
When they left yesterday, there were quite a few left, enough to fill a backpack, and there could be more.
But today there is suddenly a lot less.
"It's probably been picked off by someone."
Fu Beimo said angrily: "Who is it?"
Yan Funing said calmly: "When I went home yesterday, many villagers saw it."
As the saying goes, if you rely on the sea to eat the sea, and if you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, the villagers naturally understand that these wild oyster mushrooms can be eaten.
Edible fungi are rarely seen on the hills near the village. They are usually picked as soon as they appear.
Yesterday they saw her carrying a full basket, and it would be strange not to envy her.
If there are no nearby hills, they will go deep into the mountains to look for them.
This was picked off.
Fu Beimo cursed: "They are so bad!"
Yan Funing said: "Let's search nearby."
However, the uncle and sister-in-law walked around in a large circle and only picked a few wild mushrooms here and there.
Looking at the dull-colored wild shiitake mushrooms, Fu Beimo was very unhappy: "Ugly!"
Yan Funing smiled: "These are shiitake mushrooms. After they are dried, they have a stronger aroma. They taste great when used to stew chicken."
"Ok."
Fu Beimo obediently followed Yan Funing back to the dead tree to wait for Fu Ciyi.
After waiting for a long time, no one was seen, so Fu Beimo looked for ants on the ground.
Yan Funing stood on the top of the mountain, looking around.
I saw a bamboo forest in the distance and wondered if I could dig winter bamboo shoots and take a look when I had time.
After waiting for another two-quarters of an hour, Fu Ciyi finally came back.
This time he shot two pheasants and a hare.
Fu Beimo's eyes lit up: "Brother is amazing!"
Fu Ciyi carried two pheasants and a hare together and reached out to retrieve the basket.
But Fu Beimo took the lead.
"When I came, I carried it; when I go back, it's up to me!" He had been smiling clearly just now, but now he suppressed his smile and said seriously, "I will carry the basket, and my sister-in-law will say thank you to me."
Hearing this, Yan Funing couldn't help but smile: "Thank you Beimo!"
Fu Beimo smiled proudly.
Fu Ciyi silently took back his hand. He was sick, so he went to help her carry the basket.
He carried her all the way back to town and didn't hear her say thank you.
