46: Chapter 44 For Qin Yu, happiness was somewhat fleeting 46: Chapter 44 For Qin Yu, happiness was somewhat fleeting After that meal of dumplings, the three Qin siblings…
including Rong Yan, all felt a bit too full.
The Qin siblings felt an unprecedented sense of happiness.
At last, the task of washing dishes fell upon Qin Mei.
It should be said that Qin Mei snatched the duty for herself.
Rong Yan didn’t fight her for it.
The main reason was, she didn’t like doing dishes.
Cooking was her limit.
After all, she didn’t enjoy such household chores in modern times, either.
Of course, not enjoying it didn’t mean she couldn’t do it.
With her sharp mind and extraordinary memory, she could accurately measure the ingredients for any recipe she had seen…
there was no way it would be so bad as to become a culinary disaster.
Rong Yan didn’t want to sleep so early, so she turned her gaze to Qin Yu.
“How many years have you studied?”
At such a blissful moment, could we not bring up such a mood-killer?
Reluctantly, he answered, “Half a year.”
She had thought he had studied for several years at least.
“How many characters can you recognize, then?”
Bringing up this subject, Qin Yu’s gloominess dissipated somewhat, “At least three hundred characters.”
Tsk, look at that expression, quite proud, aren’t you?
With a slight raise of her eyebrows, “Then, write down these three hundred characters from memory.
Let’s see how many you can get right.”
After eating so much, do we have to be so idle?
Rong Yan looked at him, “Or are you saying, you actually can’t remember a single one now?”
Qin Yu bristled, “How could that be, I of course remember them all…
It’s just that I don’t have paper or pen…” Right, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to write; he simply didn’t have the means.
Rong Yan listened to his vehement protest and couldn’t help but smile slightly, “Paper and pen, you say?
Qin Yu’s face stiffened: …
Can’t we be a little friendlier?
Isn’t it possible to let it slide?
“Wait here, I’ll go get them for you.” Rong Yan turned and walked out.
Of course, she couldn’t just pull paper and a pen out of the space right in front of them; that would scare them.
Once back in that room, using a blind spot in their vision, Rong Yan retrieved unmarked paper and a pen from the space.
Then she walked back out again…
Qin Ye could only truly watch as she hurried in and then quickly came back out.
Here, Rong Yan handed the paper and pen to Qin Yu, “Here, two sets for you, one for you and one for your sister.
Later, both of you need to write from memory.
I want to see how many characters you can still recognize?”
Qin Mei, who was named, had no objections.
At this moment, she was willing to do anything her sister-in-law would ask of her.
Shouldn’t he be somewhat comforted?
After all, now he wasn’t the only one who had to write.
“Hurry up,” Rong Yan urged him when she saw him not moving.
There’s no need to rush that much.
“This paper is so white.”
It feels like it’s very expensive; isn’t using it a waste?
“White paper is meant to be written upon with your characters; otherwise, it loses its purpose.
Or are you saying…” Rong Yan showed a slight smile, “you’d rather use it as toilet paper?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu hurriedly clutched the two stacks of paper to his chest.
Good paper used as toilet paper?
Is he crazy, or is she?
Rong Yan pretended not to notice his little action, “Hurry up, eh.
Once you’re done, I can go back to my room.”
It seems he couldn’t avoid it tonight after all.
Indeed, good things aren’t always so easily enjoyed.
