When Grandma Yun Yuyun walked to the bus stop opposite the school gate, Yan Tianlang’s eyes were still following along. Yan Mingkun thought he had a crooked mind and kicked him, “What else are you looking at? Yan Tianlang, you should stay away from those classmates of yours as soon as possible. Bullying classmates is something people look down on the most. If they are like this now, they will be the same in the future. Would you like to grow up to be like them?”
Yan Tianlang said innocently, “Dad, I have no intention of taking revenge. This matter was originally my fault. Although I didn’t do anything, it happened because of me, I didn’t stop it. I just feel that it’s a little strange.” He touched his arm in confusion, “I always feel that Yun Sheng’s sister is a little out of the ordinary. After being beaten by her just now, my body felt cold, Dad, I feel that this matter would not pass so easily.”
“What nonsense are you thinking about?” Yan Mingkun frowned, “She’s just an ordinary child who knows a little kung fu. It’s normal for you to feel cold when you are injured. Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?”
Yan Mingkun only had one son after all. He could not bear to be ruthless and not care about him.
Yan Tianlang shook his head, “It’s just skin injuries. I won’t go to the hospital. Dad, how’s the problem with the construction site?” He knew about his family’s affairs. His dad had been working tirelessly these days because of the project.
Yan Mingkun took out a cigarette and lit it with a sad face, “It’s still the same. I have invited several masters to resolve it, and as a result, they also had an accident on the construction site. Although they didn’t die, they were all injured. Tianlang, you must study properly. Dad may be in deep trouble this time. I spent a lot of money on the auction for this land, and other investors have also withdrawn their capital. If the villa cannot be built, I’m afraid that I will have no hope of turning things around in this lifetime.” He had worked hard for half of his life. Though his business may not seem like much, in their small town, it was considered a prosperous one. He did not know what to do now as he did not know how he had encountered such a wicked thing.

He had a lot of friends. In the real estate industry, he always needed to know some Feng Shui masters. But, when he encountered something that was really difficult to solve, he realized that they could not do anything and were just liars.
Looking at his old father, Yan Tianlang felt uncomfortable, “Dad, don’t worry. I will study hard and I won’t hang out with them.” At the beginning, it was Pi Tianlei and the others who eagerly called him Brother Yan. It made him feel proud for a while, and he felt like he was leading a group of younger brothers. He actually did not agree with a lot of what they did. When bullying other students, he did not take part in it. Now, he felt that he was pretty stupid.
Yan Mingkun patted his son on the shoulder, “Dad believes in you. You work hard. Don’t let me and your mother worry about you. Quickly go back to the classroom. I have to go to the city at night. Lao Liu (T/N: Old Liu. 老 Lǎo is usually added to one’s name when addressing friends to show familiarity, especially when they are older (even if they were older by one or two months)) is introducing me to a Feng Shui master.”
When he left, Yan Tianlang also went back to the classroom. When he went to the cafeteria to eat at night, Pi Tianlei came trembling over with a lunch box, “Brother Yan, I will definitely not let him go easily. Let’s put a sack over his head and beat him up later tonight. This matter is related to Brother Yan’s face, so we can’t just let it go like this.”
Yan Tianlang frowned, “Tian Lei, let’s just forget about it. Don’t bully our classmates anymore.” He really hated himself and this kind of thing now. How could he be so retarded the last time and found this kind of thing cool?
Pi Tianlei was not willing to let the matter go, “Brother Yan, don’t be afraid. I’m looking for the brothers to do it, and it has nothing to do with you.”
“Enough!” Yan Tianlang stood up suddenly, “Pi Tianlei, I’ll make it clear to you. Please don’t bully our classmates in my name, and don’t call me Brother Yan in the future. I’m a student, not a scum of society. We are here to study, and not to let you waste your time bullying classmates.”
Seeing that he was really losing his temper, Pi Tianlei also persuaded him, “Okay, Brother Yan. I’ll just leave him alone.”
Yan Tianlang looked at the trembling boy before him and felt a little uncomfortable. This person still did not understand the vastness of heaven and earth (T/N: 天高地厚 Tiāngāodìhòu – The seriousness a matter) was and still wanted to find trouble for Yun Sheng.

On the way home, Grandma Yun could not help but talk about Yunyu, “You as a delicate girl dared to make a move against them? What should I do if you suffer a loss? You really scared grandma. Don’t be so impulsive in the future. There are many ways to solve things. How can you fight against so many people at once?.”

Yunyu smiled. She felt that it was still very refreshing to solve things with fists when it was still within the scope of her ability.
She used to be a princess. Let alone fighting, she had never even had the opportunity to scold people.
When the two walked by a bamboo forest, they saw two women approaching in the distance. It was Zhao Shuju, the wife of Lu Xilai, the village head, and Chen Guizhi who lived at the south end of the village. They both looked to be in their 40s and had just finished their farm work in the fields. They still carried a basket and a hoe on their backs. Zhao Shuju greeted Yun Yu when she saw Grandma Yun, “Aunt Yun, did you just come back from town?”
Grandma Yun smiled and said, “Yes, I had something to do in town. “
Chen Guizhi stared at Yunyu and smiled, “Auntie, your Yunyu is getting better and better looking. Don’t know which lucky guy will marry her in the future.”
“My Xiao Yu’er is still young, so don’t mention these,” Grandma Yun was polite.
“She has graduated from college. How is she still young. She should already be looking for in-laws,” Chen Guizhi could not help but look at Yunyu a few more times, “Aunt, why didn’t Yunyu stay in the imperial capital to look for a job and come back here instead? Is she planning on staying at home?”
Grandma Yun said, “You all know that Xiuzhen was injured, and Xiao Yu’er was worried, so she came back to have a look.” She did not mention the job search. After speaking, Grandma Yun looked up at the sky, “Shuju, Guizhi, it’s getting late. I have to go back to make dinner, so I won’t stay and chat for now.”
Zhao Shuju smiled and said, “Aunt Yun, you head back first.”
When Grandma Yun and Yuyun walked past the bamboo forest, Chen Guizhi nudged Zhao Shuju with her elbows, “Hey, you say, Yunyu won’t not go back to the imperial capital to find a job, right? What will she do at home since the busy farming season is almost over? Does the top student from the imperial capital plan to stay in the village to farm?”
Zhao Shuju frowned and said, “You don’t bother about what other family’s children will do. Whether she looked for a job or farms, it has nothing to do with us. We should just worry about ourselves.”
Chen Guizhi rolled his eyes, “It doesn’t matter, but their family churned out such a top student. Yun Lan went to work after graduating from high school just to let Yunyu go to university. Wouldn’t it be a waste if she didn’t find a job in the imperial capital? The one I feel the most sorry for is her eldest sister.
“Stop it. Quickly go home,” Zhao Shuju said in a muffled voice. She did not like to discuss people’s rights and wrongs.
———————————————————————————————————————-
When Grandma Yun and Yuyun walked to the door of the house, Grandma Yun said, “When you meet Chen Guizhi in the future, stay away from her. She has a broken mouth (T/N: Liked to gossip/ long winded).”
“Grandma, I understand.”

Back home, Grandma Yun steamed the rice. Then, the two of them went to collect all the dried wheat. Grandma Yun picked up a few grains of wheat and tasted it. She sighed, “This year’s wheat is really fragrant. They are almost done drying. There’s no need to move it out to dry tomorrow. We can just store it now. Tomorrow, we will grind down 2 bags of flour to make some steamed buns.” They can also try selling the buns to see how the steamed buns business will do.
Wu Li came to help harvest the wheat again, and stayed at the Yun’s for dinner. He had a big appetite and could not stop eating. “Grandma Yun, after eating your family’s food, I don’t even want to eat the food made by my mother. If you open a small farmhouse restaurant, I promise to come by to eat every day.”
Nowadays, the rich people in the city love to go to the farmhouses in the villages to eat. One of the reasons is to enjoy the original flavors of produce, and the other is to experience farm life. of the farmhouse. They can immerse themselves in the beautiful sceneries to relax their minds and relieve pressure.
It was not that Yunyu never thought about opening a farmhouse. It was just that she did not have any money. She would have to apply for land and build a house in the village. There were too many places that required money, so she could only do it step by step.
Grandma Yun said with a smile, “I will make some steamed buns tomorrow, and let Xiao Yu’er send some over. Thanks for your help these days, Xiao Lizi.”
“Then I won’t be polite to Grandma Yun.”
———————————————————————————————————————-
The next day, Yun Sheng came back home. Yunyu saw that he had no new injuries and felt relieved, “Those people in the school didn’t bother you anymore, right?”
Yun Sheng shook his head, “Second Sister, don’t worry. They didn’t bother me.” After they apologized to him yesterday, when he returned to the classroom, many of his classmates were very concerned about him. To reduce his worries, they decided that they would accompany him in the future, and let him not be alone these days. To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable with this kind of relationship at first, but he later felt a little moved.
“If you are bullied at school in the future, just tell us. Don’t be silent.” Yunyu patted him on the shoulder, “Go into the house to eat. Later I’ll go grind flour with grandma. You do your homework at home. Work and rest. Don’t just sit without moving.”
“Second sister, I know.” Yun Sheng followed her into the room, and hesitantly asked after a while, “Second Sister, what’s with you knowing kung fu?”
How did Second Sister learn kung fu?
Yun Yu quickly reacted, “How can you consider that kung fu? It’s just some moves I picked up. I went to work as a part-timer in a taekwondo gym when I was in college, and I followed along when the teachers were teaching. I didn’t expect it to be so useful.”
Yun Sheng believed her words. His second sister did instead work part-time in a taekwondo gym when she was in college. She was in charge of the hygiene and cleanliness of the clothes and equipment in the gym.
After breakfast, Yunyu and Grandma Yun went to grind the flour. There was a ginder in the village. In less than an hour, they returned with two bags of flour.
Just as they returned, he met Dong Jianhai (T/N: The customer with the sick mother who Yunyu met at the vegetable market) driving a car to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden. Because he came to pick a basket of vegetables every day, Grandma Yun never went to town to sell vegetables. When Dong Jianhai saw Grandma Yun coming back, he stuffed her 500 yuan, “Auntie, this is the money for today’s vegetables. After my mother has eaten your vegetables these few days, she can now head out to walk about for two rounds.” This was happy news for him. The doctor said that her organs were aging, and her body would get worse day by day. They did not expect that after eating these few days, she could head out to walk about.

Grandma Yun said with a smile: “People are iron, rice and steel (T/N: 铁饭是钢 Tiě fàn shì gāng – the full phase is 铁饭是钢一顿不吃饿得慌 Tiě fàn shì gāng yī dùn bù chī è dé huāng. This translates as People rely on food, iron depends on steel, if you don’t eat a meal, you will be hungry. This means that people’s lives are maintained by food, and it is not enough without food). If you eat more, your body will be strong. You can resist any disease or bacteria.”
“What Auntie said is true.” Dong Jianhai was a little emotional.
Grandma Yun saw that Dong Jianhai had almost finished picking almost the same amount, and went over to discuss with him, “Boss Dong, here’s the situation. I plan to open a steamed bun shop in town in a few days and the vegetables in the garden will be used to make stuffing for the buns. I may not be able to provide you with so many vegetables in the future. But, if you want to eat it, just come by to pick it up anytime. You don’t need to pay for it.” How many vegetables can his family eat in a day? This Boss Dong must have picked a basket every day to distribute it to his other family members.
Dong Jianhai said in surprise, “Auntie is going to open a shop in the town? It’s alright. I’ll pick less in the future. Then, I won’t give it to my brothers and sisters. It’s enough for my mother to eat. Where does Auntie plan to open the steamed bun shop? I’ll head over in the future.” The vegetables she planted were already so delicious. The buns made will definitely not taste bad.
Grandma Yun said with a smile,: “Not yet. I plan to do some testing first. If it has a good response, I will go into town to find a shop.”
Dong Jianhai nodded, “Alright, I will pay more attention when I go back. If there are any good shops, I’ll help Aunt to take a look.”
“Thank you, Boss Dong.” Grandma Yun thanked him.
When Dong Jianhai left, he saw the newly milled flour in the yard. The pleasant aroma of wheat wafted out and he had to restrain himself from asking Grandma Yun if they were selling the flour.
Seeing that the Yun family was busy, he left with the vegetables.
In the evening, Grandma Yun steamed the steamed buns made out of the freshly ground flour. They were all stuffed with vegetarian stuffings. There were buns stuffed with chives and eggs, some stuffed with cabbage and others stuffed with eggplant. The steamed buns were made with thin skin and lots of stuffing. With Grandma Yun’s special blend of seasoning, the taste was good, the noodles were fragrant and the stuffing was tender. Yun Sheng brought a plate to Mother Yun in the house. Yunyu on the other hand found a clean plastic bag to pack up over a dozen buns for Wu Li’s family. They have received quite a bit of help from him during the wheat harvest.
Chives with eggs stuffed buns (韭菜鸡蛋馅包子Jiǔcài jīdàn xiàn bāozi), Cabbage stuffed buns (包菜馅包子 Bāo cài xiàn bāozi), Eggplants stuffed buns (茄子馅包子 Qiézi xiàn bāozi)
When the buns were delivered to the Wu house, Wu Dashan was there, squatting in the yard eating cold noodles. When he heard movement, he looked up. When he saw that it was Yunyu, he stood up. He did not know why he stood up.
Yun Yu spoke first, “Uncle Wu, my grandma made steamed buns and brought you some. Is Wu Li at home?”

Wu Dashan shouted towards upstairs, “Wu Li come down.”
Wu Li quickly ran down. Seeing Yunyu, he grinned and said, “I heard it from upstairs. These are the buns made by Grandma Yun, right? Hehe, I haven’t eaten yet because I’ve been waiting for these buns.”
Yunyu handed the buns to him, “You eat first. I’ll head back.”
After Yunyu left, Wu Li excitedly took out a bun and took a huge bite, his eyes squinted in contentment. Wu Dashan could not stand the look on his face and wanted to kick him, “What kind of expression do you have on your face? Isn’t it just eating a bun? You look like you ascended to heaven. As long as the food is enough to fill your stomach, what difference can the taste make.” He did not believe that a steamed bun could be that delicious.
Wu Licai did not care about what his father had to say. He finished the steamed buns in two or three bites, and asked Wu Dashan if he wanted some. Wu Dashan was thinking he definitely did not want the things that that little girl brought.
“Dad, then I’ll leave it in the kitchen if you don’t eat it. Let Mom try some later. These buns are really delicious.” Wu Li walked into the kitchen and placed the bun on the table, then ran upstairs in 3 strides.
After Wu Dashan finished eating the noodles, he brought the empty bowl into the kitchen and saw the steamed buns on the table. He smelled the delicious fragrance and could not hold back in the end. He took a bun and gave it a try and was a little startled. Then, he followed Wu Li’s way of eating, finishing a bun in 2 or 3 bites then eating one after another.
When Aunt Tian entered the house, she saw her man squatting by the table eating buns.
———————————————————————————————————————-
After school started on Monday, Yun Sheng went back to school. Yunyu got up early in the morning to help Grandma Yun steam the buns. The dough had been fermented overnight, and the stuffing was also prepared by Grandma Yun early in the morning. Yunyu also tried to help make two buns but the folds that she pinched out were too horrible. Grandma Yun smiled when she saw it, “Grandma will wrap it up. Xiao Yu’er help me water the vegetable garden. After you’re done you can go out for a walk.”
Yunyu could not help her, so she could only go out to water the vegetable field. She watered the roses at the corner of the wall at the same time. In a week, the branches of the roses climbed half of the wall.
There was nothing to do at home, so she went around the fields again.
The crops grown in the dry land will not mature until one or two months later, and there was no farm work.
Changshui City was located in the subtropical zone, with a monsoon climate and sufficient rain and sunshine. Many crops were harvested twice a year.
The Yun family’s paddy fields were planted with rice which were sown in April and transplanted in May. There were still small rice seedlings growing in the paddy fields. This rice can be harvested in late July, and then the second crop will be planted.
Yunyu went to pour some spiritual spring water in her family’s paddy fields. There was water in the paddy fields, so there was no need to dilute the spiritual spring water.
After visiting the rice fields, Yunyu went to the peach orchard left by her Eldest Grandfather. The peaches planted in the peach orchard were medium-ripening varieties that could only mature in July and August. She found that the peaches had grown a lot, and some of the skins were reddish. She picked one and washed it before having a taste. It was crunchy and sweet.
The watermelon in the watermelon field next to it had also grown a lot. It was estimated that the watermelon could be eaten in a few days. These watermelons were also a medium-ripening variety.
Yunyu decided to pull the weeds out of the vegetable field. It was noon by the time she went back. Grandma Yun’s steamed buns were also steamed. After leaving some for Yunyu and Mother Yun to be eaten for lunch, she rode a tricycle to town, putting the buns in a cardboard box covered with a thick white quilt for thermal insulation. It was clean and the cover was made of gauze.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Yun came back in less than two hours. A box of buns was sold clean. Yunyu had explained the price to her grandmother before. The vegetarian buns cost 1 yuan each. They did not make meat buns this time. But if they did, they would be priced at 2 yuan a piece.

There was no other way. After all, her family’s steamed buns were big with thin skin and ample filling. It was soft, fluffy, and fragrant. They were not on the same level as the buns outside, so selling them for 50 cents was not worth it.
When Grandma Yun came back, she was still in a daze. She told Yunyu, “Just as I arrived at the entrance of the junior high school, many parents were delivering meals to the students.”
There were several junior high schools in their town. Junior high school students basically do not live on campus. They eat at school at noon and go home in the evening. Many parents were afraid that their children would not be able to get the necessary nutrition, so they would deliver meals at noon. Hence, the school gate was crowded at noon. There were many small vendors selling food, and Grandma Yun was crowded in the corner.
Many children were pampered. Even though their parents brought food for them, they would detest the taste and wanted to buy other food.
There were a lot of fried foods around, and one particular parent did not want to buy them for his child. After looking around for a while, he saw Grandma Yun’s steamed buns. They looked white and plump, so he asked about the price. Though 1 yuan was more expensive than the other buns sold outside, the steamed buns that Grandma Yun sold were really too attractive. So, the parent bought two for his child to eat. The child refused to eat it at first, in the end, he was scolded by his father before a bun was shoved into his hands.
The child gave it a taste in disdain but soon devoured it and ordered his father to buy a few more.
The parent also muttered, “It’s really so delicious?” The child nodded, “Dad, go and buy some more. These buns are so delicious.”
The man bought a few more and ate one himself, and couldn’t help but groan, “This bun tastes amazing.” The leek and eggs inside were tender and fresh, full of fragrance. It was so satisfying. The man went back and bought a dozen or so, planning to heat it up to eat when he went back home at night.
This sparked the interest of the people around them and they could not help but to buy and try it. When they tasted it, they immediately turned around and went back to buy a dozen or so.

Within ten minutes, Grandma Yun’s buns were all sold out. Someone asked her if she would come tomorrow. Grandma Yun shook her head and said that she would not be here as she planned on opening a bun shop.
Grandma Yun was not confident at first, but now she was full of confidence. She led Yunyu to town to look at store fronts.
There were a lot of stores for rent in the town. Grandma Yun chose several, but Yunyu rejected them, saying that the Feng Shui was not good.
T/N: What would happen to the naughty lil’ boys with a touch of yin and how would Grandma Yun’s business do?
Speaking of yin energy, we will know what happened with the Lius and their crying baby in the next chapter. What was your answer? Will Father and Mother Liu pay up?
- Yes! She’s an expert. They be sacred.
- Nooo! Shameless people be shameless!
