    After being busy until 8 pm and heading home for dinner at 9 pm, Wu Li brought a basket of vegetables when he went back. He praised the Yun family’s dishes for being delicious.

    After he went home, the Yun family washed up and prepared to rest. Yun Sheng would be going to school the next day, so Grandma Yun asked him to go to bed early. He had been in the sun for two days, and it can be seen that he had quite a tan. In fact, in the whole family, Yunyu was the only one who was not tan after staying in the sun for so long. After taking a shower after the busy day, you could see that her arms and cheeks were still fair. 

    Yun Sheng felt that his second sister seemed to become better looking. Her skin was much whiter and more tender than it was during the New Year. Her face was a little fleshy and her lips were blood red, unlike her previously pale lips.

    Yun Sheng responded (**T/N: because Grandma Yun asked him to go to bed early) and planned to go back to the room to sleep. Yunyu sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV. She watched the show with great gusto. When she heard that Yun Sheng wanted to go back to the room to sleep, she called to stop him, and turned her head saying to Grandma Yun, “Grandma, Xiao Sheng is in high school now. Studying every day is exhausting and the school food is not good. Why don’t we deliver meals to Xiao Sheng at noon every day? We can also send along his evening meals at the same time. That way he can have hot lunches to eat.”

    Yun Sheng was born with a problem caused by his mother’s womb, so she had to take good care of him with spring water. That way his height and physique would not be a problem.

    The male growth period was up to the age of 25. The number of years should be sufficient.  Many people have low self-esteem only because of their own shortcomings resulting in personality defects. Yun Sheng had good grades in school, but he was not popular. Yunyu had analyzed that he had low self-esteem due to his shortcomings, hence making him unwilling to interact with people. Such students would be the target of campus violence.

    Grandma Yun was a little moved. She was very aware of her grandson’s problems. He had not developed well physically and in addition to that, the school’s food was not very good. She believed that if they took good care of him, there may be the possibility of him developing better. 

    “Xiao Yu’er, why don’t you go to the imperial capital to find a job?” Grandma Yun asked suddenly.

    “Grandma,” Yunyu did not want to avoid this question anymore. She turned off the sound of the TV, sat upright and said, “Grandma, I thought about it. I don’t want to go back to the imperial capital to find a job for the time being. I want to stay at home for a change. I have already made plans and want to take it step by step.” 

   As soon as those words came out, the room fell silent. Yun Sheng glanced at Yun Yu, moved his lower lip, but said nothing in the end. Grandma Yun did not say anything. Her expression seemed to be a little sad, which made Yunyu’s heart hurt, making her want to compromise. 

   It was fine to go to the imperial capital as long as her family was not sad. Just as she was about to say something, Grandma Yun suddenly said,  “Xiao Yu’er, have you figured it out? It is difficult to start a business in our hometown. Not only would it be difficult, but there would also be gossip.” 

   For a top student who studied for 4 years to give up working in the imperial capital and return home to farm, there would surely be many unpleasant rumors. However, the even scarier thing was failure. Nowadays, the cost of farming is high while the income is low, making few people willing to do it.

    Grandma Yun was afraid that Yunyu would be frustrated. Farming would be harder than her going out to look for a job.

    Seeing Grandma Yun relent, Yunyu followed with a sigh of relief and said coquettishly, “Grandma, don’t worry. Give me a year. If I can’t make it, I’ll go out to find a job. Okay?”

    Grandma Yun was still worried, “You would have graduated for a year by then and would have mostly forgotten about the content of your studies. Would anyone still want you?”

    Apparently, she felt that Xiao Yu’er would be staying at home for a while.

    “Don’t worry, grandma. Wait for me to raise you in the future. I’ll be able to let you eat spicy food (T/N: I’m sure you’ve stumbled upon this quite often and would probably have not Googled it, like me, so here you go: 吃香喝辣 Chīxiāng hē là – an idiom to describe a rich life and eating and drinking at will. It also refers to a way of life that pays attention to material enjoyment) .” Yun Yu hugged Grandma Yun’s arm, looking coquettish.

    Yunyu felt that Grandma Yun, like her royal grandmother, would always love her unconditionally.

    Yun Sheng saw that grandma was not angry and decided to get up and say, “Grandma, Second Sister, I’ll go back to my room to sleep first.”

    Yunyu waved at him, “Go, go. I’ll bring you food at noon tomorrow.”

    “Second Sister, no need.” Yun Sheng was a little uneasy, “The school food is pretty good.”

    Grandma Yun followed by saying, “You will be in your third year of high school next year and are under a lot of pressure. The food you eat should be better. Tomorrow’s farm work will be lighter. Let your second sister bring you lunch.”

   The matter was settled like that. Yun Sheng did not speak. He turned around and went back to his room to sleep.

    Yunyu watched TV for a while with Grandma Yun before going to sleep. She thought that the TV was pretty good. She was slowly accepting things in the new era.

    The next day, Yun Sheng had breakfast and took the bus to school. Yunyu helped Grandma Yun move all the wheat she had packed yesterday to the open space in front of the yard to dry. They wanted to take advantage of the sunny weather these past few days to close the warehouse (T/N: I guess to finish drying the wheat so that they can finally store them?). Grandma Yun used a rake to scatter the wheat so that they could be dried evenly. She also said to Yunyu, “This year’s wheat is about 31 jin per mu of land (T/N: 1 jin = 0.6 kg/ 1.32 pound). We can sell the wheat for about 5,000 yuan.”

    “Grandma, it is not worthwhile to sell the wheat.” Yunyu did not want the grain she watered with spiritual spring water to be sold at such a low price. 

   “Why don’t we keep the wheat and grind it onto flour to make buns. I think the buns made by grandma are the best. They are more delicious than the ones outside. If we made buns, the income from the wheat could be increased by at least 20 to 30 times. Let’s go to the town to find a store to sell buns.”

    Grandma Yun was stunned, “Is it possible to sell buns?”

    Yunyu encouraged her grandmother, “Grandma, I think anything is better than just selling the wheat on its own. Why don’t  we try it out after the wheat is stored. You don’t have to make too many. We can put the buns in an insulated container and try selling it by some schools in town.

   There were quite a few kindergartens, primary schools, and junior high schools in town. It was very lively by the school gates every day, and many stalls selling snacks were set up there.

    “Okay, then let’s try it out.” Grandma Yun was also moved. They could not make money from farming like this.One needed to learn to be flexible. Doing some small business seemed to be quite good.

    At noon, Grandma Yun went back to cook. She slaughtered a chicken and cleaned it up before chopping it. Then, she sautéed it in a large pot and braised it with some mushrooms and potatoes. The hens at home had been very diligent in laying eggs these days. Grandma Yun made tiger-skin eggs again. The green beans from the vegetable garden initially would have taken more than half a month before it could be eaten, however, they were all ready now, so Grandma Yun decided to stir-fry some green beans.

    After waiting for the family to finish eating, Yunyu packed the food in an insulated container  to send Yun Sheng his lunch. There was another lunch box that contained his dinner.

    Yunyu also brought a large bottle of well water to Yun Sheng in a large bottle.

    At noon, Yun Sheng was already waiting at the school gate. Many parents brought meals to their children at noon. The school gate was open, and many students were squatting by the gate to eat.

    Yun Sheng stood in front of the iron gate of the campus with a lowered head.

    Yunyu called him and he looked up to see his second sister walking slowly towards him. Yunyu felt relieved when she saw that there were no new injuries on his face. She handed him both the insulation bucket and the lunch box. 

   “The insulated box is for lunch, and the lunch box is for dinner. There is also some well water. The well water at home is sweet and refreshing.”

    Yun Sheng could not help laughing when he saw that his  second sister brought water.

    “Eat it now,” Yun Yu smiled, “I’ll take the insulated container back later and deliver it tomorrow. What do you want to eat tomorrow?”

    “Anything is fine.” Yun Sheng opened the insulated container. The smell of meat wafted out. Yun Sheng inhaled the aroma and could not help but say, “It’s so fragrant.”

    When opening the container, the smell of meat filled the air. The students next to him were frequently looking towards him.

—————————————————————————————————————————–

    Yunyu delivered Yun Sheng’s meals for five consecutive days, and soon all the wheat at home was dried and put into the granary.

    After giving Yun Sheng another day’s meals today, she would be able to rest the next day as it was Sunday. She would have to look for suitable stores in the town these two days.

    When she arrived at the entrance of No. 1 High School, Yun Sheng was already standing in his old position with his head lowered. Yunyu shouted at him, but he did not look up. When she approached, he still did not look up. Yunyu frowned and pinched Yun Sheng’s chin, forcing him to lift his head. When he lifted it up, she saw a large bump on his forehead.

    Yunyu was furious, “Yun Sheng, don’t tell me it was you who fell!”

    No one dared to bully her and her family when she was a princess. Now, seeing her brother being beaten like that, how could she not get angry?

    “Second Sister, I’m fine.” Yun Sheng took the heat insulation box and devoured it. He wanted to eat faster so that he could let his second sister leave quickly. The people who bullied him were famous school bullies. The family of the leader of the group was rich and powerful. He did not want to cause trouble. If his second sister bumped into them, he was afraid that they would bully  his second sister.

    As the saying goes, when you fear something, it will happen. A duck-like voice came from behind Yun Sheng, “Isn’t this our class’s Xueba (T/N: 学霸 Xué bà – Top student/ school tyrant) ?”

T/N:

Jeng jeng jengggg (dramatic music playing)

Yunyu vs school bullies! What would happen next?

1. Battle of the words, the shameless smackdown 
2. Fight of the fists, the metaphysics master makes a move 
3. Yun Sheng stimulated, unleash the hidden fighting prowess 
4. Hero to the rescue, the male lead’s moment of hero saves the beauty  
5. I’ll call your parents, the ultimate move of a no-nonsense-taker

 ** I realize that the author likes to tell a whole grandfather story in between and continuing on with the thing after the grandfather story, so it gets a little confusing at times. Oh wells, y’all put in a little effort when reading hahaha
