Chapter 9 A slap that can send a 300-pound pig flying
Back at Yan Shunzhong's house, Yan Sui met a pair of twins.
They are Yan Shunxia's children, named Yan Junqing and Yan Junming respectively.
They were all handsome young men.
The old lady held Yan Sui's hand, smiling from ear to ear.
In Tian Xiangjuan's words, "Mom has never laughed as happily as she has today in all these years."
"These two mischievous boys study at the town's high school and usually only come back on weekends."
This time, after hearing about what happened at home, I specially asked my teacher for leave and rushed home.
"Old man, hurry up and cook, Junqing and Junming still have to go back to class."
They will be taking the college entrance examination this June, and their studies are very demanding.
Tian Xiangjuan quickly rolled up her sleeves and called Yan Shunzhong to go into the kitchen together.
"Mom, let us do it, let Dad rest too."
The old lady clicked her tongue. "What's so tiring about him? Aren't you more tired than him because you have to go to work every day? Then let the eldest and third sons go, and you can rest too."
There's no rule in her family that only women can enter the kitchen.
Yan Junqing and Yan Junming are fraternal twins, but they look completely different.
The older ones are calm and reserved, while the younger ones are outgoing and lively.
Sure enough, Yan Junming wasn't shy at all and darted to Yan Sui's side like a monkey.
"Holy crap! You're really my sister? My biological sister? I actually have a celebrity sister?"
Yan Sui: "...Keep your voice down, is this something to be proud of?"
The entire internet is filled with photoshopped images of her as a funeral portrait created by haters; getting associated with her is never a good thing.
Yan Junming was taken aback, his tuft of hair sticking up on his head making him look somewhat bewildered.
"What's the big deal? Fame brings trouble, and everyone who's famous has a few haters. I even have fans in my class who admire your looks. If they knew you were my older sister, they'd be green with envy."
Yan Sui frowned. "I have more than a few haters, don't I?"
Yan Junming waved his hand, "They're all the same."
Anyway, he already has an older sister.
"My mom told me you're amazing! You can slap a 300-pound pig flying with one slap, and make those blond guys kneel down and call you 'sister'! You're so awesome!"
Yan Sui: "Who? Who is spreading rumors?"
Yan Junming understood and said mysteriously, "I know, we need to keep a low profile."
Yan Sui: "..."
Yan Junming is really too noisy.
One minute he asks her for an autograph, the next he complains that her signature isn't stylish enough.
One minute he'd say he wanted to become her apprentice and learn her skills, especially the one that could kill a 300-pound pig with a single slap.
They say that three men can make a tiger; just now it was just a slap that sent the tiger flying, but now it's a fatal blow.
She couldn't be bothered with Yan Junming and came out of the house for some fresh air.
Yan Junqing tapped his younger brother on the head.
"Stop bothering your sister. If you annoy her, she won't come to live with us anymore."
Upon hearing his words, Tian Xiangjuan immediately replied, "Your sister lives at your aunt's house."
Yan Junqing: "...Auntie, let's go to my house instead, it's spacious."
Tian Xiangjuan glared at him, "Your aunt's house isn't crowded either."
"My home is quiet."
"My house is lively!"
"My mom cooks delicious food!"
"You dare say your grandfather's cooking isn't good?"
Yan Junqing: "..." I dare not.
On the other side, Yan Sui took a stroll around the yard.
The Yan family's courtyard is very spacious and has a wide view.
As far as the eye can see, there are flat and wide fields, with layers of mountains in the distance.
There used to be green beans and cherry tomatoes planted under the wall, but they all withered after a winter of devastation.
Yan Junqing was standing behind her at some point, and saw her staring at the withered cherry tomato seedlings for a long time.
"Sis, would you like some cherry tomatoes? There's a supermarket in town, I can buy some for you."
Yan Sui snapped out of her daze, looked at his concerned yet flustered eyes, and smiled.
"No, I just think it's not dead yet, maybe it can still bear fruit."
"Huh?" Yan Junqing looked at the wilted tomato seedlings.
These were planted by Tian Xiangjuan. They will be pulled up in the spring and new ones will be planted.
Yan Sui raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw his expression.
You don't believe me?
Yan Junqing looked troubled. "Can you tell me the truth?"
Yan Sui couldn't help but chuckle and instructed, "Go fetch a bucket of water. I can bring it back to life in less than three days."
Actually, it can be done right now.
But she was afraid that if she exerted too much force, Yan Junqing would think he had seen a ghost.
Yan Junqing obediently went to fetch water, thinking that Yan Sui had some secret weapon, but it turned out to be just watering.
Can watering revive these wilted cherry tomatoes?
They're trying to fool him.
Soon, the old man called for dinner.
Even though this was the first meal Yan Sui had sat down with them, there was no awkwardness between them at all.
They got along so well, it was as if they were born a family.
The interactions with the Yan family opened a new world for Yan Sui.
So this is what family is like.
Tian Xiangjuan smiled and served her some food, saying, "Your uncle and younger uncle aren't very good cooks. I'll have your aunt show you her skills later."
My aunt's name is Sui Liyuan. She is a cook, and she is the one who is invited to hold banquets in the surrounding villages.
She is sexy, cheerful, and easygoing, which complements Yan Shunxia.
"Sure, you can stay at your aunt's house. Your aunt will cook delicious food for you every day!"
Tian Xiangjuan: "..." Miscalculation.
She quickly gave Yan Shunzhong a meaningful look.
Yan Shunzhong hurriedly said, "It's more convenient to stay at Uncle's house. We haven't seen each other for so many years, so let's spend some quality time with Grandpa and Grandma."
Yan Sui wasn't picky; she was going to move there anyway once the courtyard house was renovated.
"Anything is fine, Uncle will arrange it."
After dinner, Tian Xiangjuan asked Yan Sui to add her on WeChat.
"Your aunt will transfer the money to you."
"What money?"
Tian Xiangjuan scolded, "You transferred money to those thugs."
Yan Sui has been a great help to her family.
“We’re all family, why bother going around? We’ll have to trouble you two to fix up the courtyard house later. Besides, I need to stay here until the house is finished. If you’re being so formal, I’ll feel bad about staying here.”
Tian Xiangjuan was deeply moved, knowing that Yan Sui was trying to help them indirectly.
She wasn't one to dawdle, and immediately agreed.
"Alright then, Auntie won't have to pay back the money. You can stay home and do whatever you want, just let us know."
Yan Sui immediately made her first request: "I want to walk around the village."
Tian Xiangjuan was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands in realization.
"It's time to show you around. There are quite a few outsiders in our village. Your aunt will show you around."
Yan Sui's eyes widened slightly; it turned out she wasn't the first outsider.
Tian Xiangjuan pulled her outside, a smile on her face.
"You probably don't know this, but our village is a well-known longevity village in the area, and it has been named the most beautiful village in Yancheng several times."
Although it is far from the city and not very wealthy, many people come to live in the village for a long time.
“If you go up from our house, there aren’t many houses at the end of the village. See that courtyard house? It originally belonged to Uncle Zhao, but then his son became successful, and someone wanted to buy the courtyard house, so they sold it to a big boss.”
"The big boss?" Yan Sui was a little skeptical. The big boss would come to live in the countryside?
Tian Xiangjuan said with certainty, "He's a big boss, very rich! This courtyard house was renovated by him, he's practically gilding the walls. But he doesn't come here often, and he doesn't go out much either."
Yan Sui suddenly realized, "No one lives in there now?"
"They've settled in. They just arrived a couple of days ago. Don't provoke them; you can't afford to offend them."
Yan Sui nodded obediently; she wasn't one to meddle.
Just as she was about to leave with Tian Xiangjuan, a low-key luxury car drove past them, kicking up dust.
The moment Yan Sui covered her mouth and nose, Qu Jiang inside the car couldn't help but stare in astonishment.
He cursed inwardly.
Secretary An should have been asked to get things done earlier.
I made a mistake; I never expected Yan Sui to be so capable, managing to find a place in the countryside!
