Chapter 39 Why does it feel unfamiliar?
Chapter 39 Why does it feel unfamiliar?
Huaying woke up in the second half of the night, got up, washed up, and went to make cold noodles. She moved quietly for fear of waking up Fu Shiyan who was sleeping.
Boil water in a pot, scoop out the noodle juice, cover with a lid and steam it. It will be bright by the time everything is steamed.
After making breakfast, Huaying knocked on Fu Shiyan's door. She heard no sound from inside. She pushed the door open and saw that the room was empty. She couldn't help but wonder where did he go so early in the morning?
Dongxue came to Huaying's house early, dressed neatly, still wearing the same old clothes from yesterday. She called out "Sister Huaying" and started moving things onto the cart.
Huaying responded with a smile and came over to pretend with her. Before leaving, she left a note on Fu Shiyan's desk.
When the two of them arrived at the stall, there were already people waiting there. Several enthusiastic strong men helped to unload the tables and chairs. After they had cleaned up, Huaying and Dongxue got busy. As it approached noon, more and more people were lining up, and Huaying's hands and neck were sore from being so busy.
Looking at Dongxue who is younger than me but full of energy, I secretly admire her physical strength and feel ashamed of myself.
Shi Nuan woke up again. The room was full of sunlight. Looking at her second brother sleeping on the table, tears rolled down her face again. Her brother was really still alive. "Brother." She called Fu Shiyan softly.
Fu Shiyan, who always slept lightly, opened his eyes and looked at the little girl on the bed, "Nuannuan, you must be hungry, what do you want to eat?"
"Two buns." The little girl had tears on her face, but a long-lost smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"Okay, and a serving of Tremella fuciformis porridge." My little sister has loved sweets since she was a child.
"No need, brother. Just ordinary porridge will do." Seeing his second brother, who used to wear fancy clothes but now wears the most ordinary clothes, he felt jealous.
"Okay, listen to Nuannuan." Fu Shiyan stroked her head gently.
Huaying and her friend were busy until the afternoon, and the three large pots of cold noodles were finally sold out. For people who already love pasta, the appearance of cold noodles is simply a new world of taste. Those who have eaten it will all discuss the deliciousness of the chili peppers and sesame paste.
"Sister Huaying, it's not easy to be a boss." Dongxue sat on a small stool tiredly and said with a smile while looking at Huaying who was still cleaning.
"Yeah, money is hard to earn. Let's go eat something delicious after we're done. What do you want to eat?" After cleaning up the garbage, Huaying took off her apron and asked.
"I didn't have enough wontons yesterday." Those wontons were better than the dumplings my mother made, and I wanted to eat them again today.
Huaying said something to the uncle next to her, and the two of them went to the small shop selling wontons where they had been yesterday.
"Brother, you should try this wonton too. It tastes similar to the ones Nanny made." Shi Nuan, who followed Fu Shiyan out for some fresh air, held up a small spoonful of wontons and handed it to her second brother's mouth.
"You eat, second brother is not hungry." Fu Shiyan said to her with a smile.
Nuannuan lowered her head and started eating wontons again. Huaying saw the two people behaving intimately from a distance.
She approached them with an inquiring look, "Sister Huaying, isn't this Brother Fu?" Dongxue said with surprise.
"Brother Fu, you are here to eat wontons too. Who is this little girl?" Dongxue looked at Shi Nuan curiously.
Shi Nuan also looked back at Hua Ying and the others, then looked at Fu Shi Yan and asked, "Brother, do you know them?"
Huaying glanced at the little girl who looked somewhat similar to Fu Shiyan, and realized that she was really his sister. She had always thought that he had no family, and suddenly realized that she knew very little about Fu Shiyan.
"Sister Huaying, I'm going to buy some buns. What filling do you want?" Dongxue asked.
"It must be vegetarian. What do you two want to eat?" He turned around and asked the brother and sister who were sitting at the table eating.
"Thank you, sister. I am full after eating the wontons." Shi Nuan stood up and politely responded to her beautiful sister with a gentle temperament.
"This is Sister Huaying, who lives with her brother now. This is my younger sister Shi Nuan." Fu Shiyan introduced them in a gentle voice.
"Hello, Xiao Nuan, my name is Huaying." Huaying extended her hand to the beautiful girl in front of her.
Shi Nuan looked at her brother in confusion, and gave Hua Ying a greeting as an equal, "Sister Hua Ying, you can just call me Nuan Nuan."
Huaying was startled, then realized that this was ancient times, and quickly returned the greeting.
She looked at her brother with question marks in her eyes. But it was not easy to ask outside. Although she was naughty at a young age, she still knew the etiquette of family education.
Dongxue bought some buns and learned that the little girl was Brother Fu's biological sister. She was especially kind and gave her another bun.
After they finished their meal, Fu Shiyan asked Shi Nuan whether she wanted to continue living with Fu Yi or go home with him.
Shi Nuan naturally wanted to be with her brother, but she heard from her brother that he lived with his beautiful sister, so were they married?
Thinking about it, it is unlikely that they would get married at that time. Could it be that this beautiful sister saved her brother, so she lives in their house?
Then he tilted his head and asked Huaying, "Sister Huaying, can I live in your house?"
Huaying was stunned and said quickly, "That's your home, of course you can live there." She thought that Nuannuan was quite polite.
My home? Xiaoshi Nuan had another question mark in her head.
Along the way, Dongxue took Nuannuan to talk about the interesting things in their Taohua Village, and she was very happy to have a new playmate.
Shi Nuan was also very happy that her second brother was still alive and that there was such a gentle and beautiful sister who was willing to take them in. She would not have to worry about anything anymore.
After arriving home, Shi Nuan looked around the courtyard with curiosity. There were the bamboos at the gate, the neatly trimmed trees in the yard, the white stone-paved ground, the surrounding walls covered with colorful vines, the small kitchen surrounded by bamboo curtains rolled up in the air, and even the tables and benches in the yard were made of bamboo. It was the first time that Shi Nuan had seen such a small courtyard. Although it was not as good as her own back garden, it gave her a very warm feeling.
Chirp, chirp, the plump egg yolk swaggered back home from outside. Shi Nuan's eyes lit up and asked, "Brother, is this a chick?"
Fu Shiyan looked at her happy expression and said, "Yes." Nuannuan liked to keep little things when she was little, but her mother never let her, saying that little girls should be more dignified and not be so irritable every day.
"Nuannuan, do you like it here?" Huaying squatted down and asked Shi Nuan.
"I like it. Thank you, Sister Huaying, for letting me live in your house."
Dongxue was confused by the three of them. Aren't they siblings? Why do they look so unfamiliar?
