Chapter 111 Is my sister-in-law someone I can't face?
The two of them exchanged glances.
“Speaking of my Xun Yu,” Yu Huan paused, her expression turning slightly serious, “it has to be Yu Chengcheng!”
Yu Songnian joked, "What do you mean by 'you are Xun Yu'? In my opinion, Huan-ge, you're more like Chengzi-jie's Xu Chu. Just like me, you're both bodyguards."
After all, all of us here were raised by our parents from a young age, who told us to learn from Yu Chengcheng and to follow her example.
Whether we've truly seen the whole picture is unknown, but we've certainly witnessed the world's inconsistencies.
Some people are born extraordinary.
Yu Chengcheng is the kind of child that everyone else seems to have.
For six years of junior and senior high school, Yu Huan was under immense pressure from his two teachers at home. He was obsessed with studying, sleeping later than a dog and waking up earlier than a rooster, barely managing to get into a bottom-tier 985 university by the cutoff score.
He didn't know how Yu Chengcheng was doing at school, but he only saw her wandering around as soon as she got home, doing nothing on weekends, getting full scholarships every year, and going to Wudaokou as if it were child's play.
"As long as you follow the right lord, being a bodyguard isn't necessarily a bad thing." Yu Huan said seriously, tapping the table and looking at Xu Hui, who was grinning foolishly: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and make some midnight snacks!"
"Okay, okay, Brother Huan." Xu Hui hurriedly got up.
Xu Qian said, "We've already prepared the dishes. We'll cook them when you get here, Huan-ge. We can start eating in about ten minutes."
“Okay.” Yu Huan then turned to Yu Songnian and asked, “How has Grandpa been feeling lately?”
"He's very robust. Even though the water temperature is low in winter and it's not suitable for fishing, he still goes out every day, and no one can persuade him otherwise. Yesterday afternoon, he caught a four-pound wild black carp and immediately asked me to bring it over to you."
"I don't cook at home."
Yu Songnian winked and said, "Everyone knows that my sister-in-law is a rich woman who invested in a restaurant."
"Oh." Yu Huan nodded.
He didn't say much, after all, Xu Qian and her brother were still working for him, and Yu Songnian had already talked about it at home, so it was impossible to keep it a secret in the village.
"He was still scolding you when he handed me the fish."
"What did you say to me?"
"You little rascal, you haven't shown your face for a month or so. I wonder what you've been up to."
Yu Huan immediately reached out and smacked the guy's big head: "You're taking a chicken feather as an imperial edict, and you're here to insult me, aren't you?"
Yu Songnian was afraid that he would launch a series of attacks, so he quickly shrank back.
He chuckled and said, "Grandpa probably misses you too."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan fell into deep thought.
The old man looks ten years younger and does indeed want to relive his current mental state.
However, after returning to work, he became as steady as an old dog, much more composed than a young man in his early twenties. He took charge of the new media department, but never mentioned it to his family.
"I've been quite busy lately. I'm currently the acting deputy director of the new media department."
"What? Really? Huan-ge, you've become an official?" Yu Songnian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Deputy Director, what level is that?"
Yu Huan shook her head: "No level."
"What do you mean? You've become an official but don't have a rank? Brother Huan, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Are you kidding me! This is a special position. Didn't you hear the word 'agent' in front of it? I haven't even finished my three-month probation period yet!"
"Oh, oh." Yu Songnian nodded, then suddenly smiled, pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and with a shrewd grin, handed it to Yu Huan, saying in a pretentious manner, "Director Yu, are there any projects... like your hydropower project..."
"Get out of here!" Yu Huan waved his hand, tossing aside the cigarette box: "What kind of director? Even if he passes the probation period and gets a permanent position, after some more experience, he'll just be a proper deputy section chief."
"Wow!" Yu Songnian's teasing expression vanished, replaced by a serious one. "That's already pretty impressive! I take back what I said. Sister Chengzi is indeed your scumbag."
"Congratulations, Brother Yu, you've become a leader!" Xu Qian said with a smile.
However, she had no idea that Yu Huan had already paved the way for her to become a deputy division-level cadre right after graduation.
Yu Songnian has some, but not many.
If Yu Huan really wants to stay at the newspaper, becoming a department head is a sure thing for him.
Furthermore, there is a great deal of room for advancement.
Some people may seem like nobody at first glance, but once you get to know them better, they become like ants seeing the blue sky.
Yu Songnian casually tossed the cigarette pack onto the table, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and added in a deliberately obsequious tone, "If I become rich and powerful, let's not forget each other!"
Yu Huan slammed his fist on the table: "Someone! Feed the young master some cakes!"
The two of them loved watching Stephen Chow's movies when they were young, and Yu Songnian immediately understood the reference to the movie "Hail the Judge".
Xu Qian watched as the two brothers looked at each other and laughed, their words conveying everything, leaving her completely bewildered.
Just at this time.
Xu Hui carried an electric hot pot and carefully strolled over.
Seeing this, Yu Huan quickly turned to the side so that he could place the electric hot pot in the middle of the table.
Xu Qian hurriedly got up to get the bowls and chopsticks.
After carefully placing the electric hot pot, Xu Hui turned around and went to the open kitchen to get a basket of cilantro and glass noodles.
Farmed snakehead fish have limited mobility, resulting in tough and dry flesh with a strong fishy smell. If not properly prepared, they taste like chewing wax.
Wild blackfish has tender flesh and not too fishy smell. Even when cooked in a simple broth, it has a slightly sweet taste.
"Thank you." Yu Huan took the bowl and chopsticks from Xu Qian and eagerly picked up a piece of fish.
Thanks to Xu Hui's skillful knife work, the fish slices have a translucent texture and look incredibly elastic. With a slight twitch of the chopsticks, the fish slices tremble gently in the air, appearing remarkably bouncy.
The fish bursts with delicious juices as soon as you put it in your mouth. The spicy and numbing flavors intertwine with the sourness of the pickled cabbage, making it impossible to stop eating.
It was so authentic, so delicious! The group immediately rolled up their sleeves and started eating.
Yu Huan glanced up and saw that Xu Qian hadn't touched her chopsticks much, so she immediately teased, "Dian Wei's wife, why aren't you eating?"
"Hmm..." Xu Qian hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refute it further: "I'm on a diet recently."
Yu Huan looked at Yu Songnian again.
His mouth kept moving, the tips of his chopsticks drawing arcs in the air as he stuffed fish slices, bean sprouts, bean curd sheets, and other side dishes into his mouth.
He joked, "Your wife is already leading the way in losing weight, so why are you still here eating like a glutton?"
"A big black carp weighing over four pounds, so many cooked in one pot, how could I not eat it, to avoid wasting it?" Yu Songnian's cheeks were bulging.
Yu Huan's phone, which was resting on the edge of the table, suddenly vibrated. He looked down at it, and his greasy lips immediately curled into a smile: "Hey, my wife video-called me."
He hurriedly put down his chopsticks, grabbed his phone, and answered the call.
Lin Yourong's beautiful face, peeling bean sprouts, came into view. The image was slightly blurry, making her features less distinct. Her lips moved slightly.
"What are you doing?"
"Let's have a midnight snack!"
Lin Yourong was taken aback and quickly said, "Don't take a picture and show it to me! I don't want to know what you're eating!"
Yu Huan smiled immediately: "Okay."
"Sister-in-law!" Yu Songnian wiped his mouth with a tissue, got up and went around behind Yu Huan, wanting to see his sister-in-law's face.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar to him.
Xu Hui also curiously leaned half his body over.
Yu Huan quickly switched Lin Yourong's image to a smaller screen and then blocked it with his thumb.
However, Lin Yourong was certain that she saw Yu Songnian's big face.
Yu Songnian was shouting, "Brother Huan, don't block it! Is your wife ashamed to be seen by others?"
"Who is this...?" Lin Yourong's voice rang out with a hint of doubt.
Yu Huan dodged Yu Songnian's outstretched hand and said, "My cousin Yu Songnian, you can just call him Xiong Da."
Lin Yourong chuckled, but didn't actually call out to Xiong Da: "Oh, hello there, cousin Songnian."
"Stop fooling around. Your sister-in-law is without makeup right now and it's inconvenient for her to be seen." Yu Huan dodged again.
Lin Yourong's chuckle came through the phone.
Unable to win the argument, Yu Songnian scratched his head, sat back down, grabbed a can of cola, took a big gulp, and smacked his lips: "Is your sister-in-law some kind of big star? Can't she show her face without makeup?"
"What big star? Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Yu Huan moved her thumb away.
But Lin Yourong had already put on sunglasses, her upper body was graceful, and she was sitting upright.
So he smiled and switched to the big screen, turned the phone around, and poked it in front of Yu Songnian.
Yu Songnian was placing a piece of fish in Xu Qian's bowl when he looked up and said, "Wearing sunglasses at home so late at night, Huan-ge, are you still saying your wife isn't a celebrity?"
Lin Yourong coughed slightly.
Upon hearing this voice, Yu Huan immediately pointed the front-facing camera at her own face: "Fine, whatever you say."
Lin Yourong adjusted the arm of her sunglasses, and her slightly curious voice drifted over: "Who else? I just saw a girl."
Yu Huan looked up and around, and said without thinking, "That's Song Nian's girlfriend. There are four of us, including me, and the other one is Song Nian's brother-in-law."
"oh oh."
With both a girlfriend and a brother-in-law, Xu Qian was genuinely embarrassed by Yu Huan. Her face turned as red as an apple, and she used the tips of her chopsticks to poke the fish slices into pieces, stuffing them into her mouth like she was picking up grains of rice.
Xu Hui, sitting next to Yu Huan, sipped his cola with a smile, his eyes filled with a clear sense of foolishness.
Yu Huan picked up a bean sprout with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth: "Look, I'm eating bean sprouts too."
Lin Yourong pulled her sunglasses down to the tip of her nose and looked closely: "These are soybean sprouts, suitable for hot pot. I'm eating mung bean sprouts!"
Yu Songnian scratched his head, turned to Xu Qian, and asked with a puzzled look, "Qianqian, don't you think your sister-in-law's voice sounds familiar?"
"It seems so," Xu Qian nodded.
Yu Huan caught a glimpse of Xu Hui curiously leaning over, while Lin Yourong's sunglasses were still hanging on her chin. She quickly turned her phone screen away.
"I'm going to have some late-night snack first." He coughed heavily and continued, "I'll stop talking now!"
"Then I'll hang up first."
Before she could hang up, Yu Huan quickly said, "Okay, love you!"
Lin Yourong pushed her sunglasses up her nose: "I love you~"
The video call ended a second later.
Yu Songnian clicked his tongue and said, "My goodness, Huan-ge, I didn't expect you to be so cheesy!"
"You don't know anything!" Yu Huan put his phone on the table: "Learn something from your brother!"
"Okay." Yu Songnian said, turning to Xu Qian and saying, "I love you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Songnian was immediately hit by Xu Qian's fist.
Yu Huan shook her head.
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
