488 it’s too obvious to chase a guest away

Su mu pouted and snorted coldly.

However, su mu quickly suppressed his emotions. He looked around at the houses and fields in the village, then looked up at the low wall made of stone and mud. Finally, his gaze fell on Shi Yan, who was opening the courtyard door with the key.

This was the place where Yanyan had lived for nine years?

They were shocked to see Yanyan and Jiang che coming back from the mountain with a basket on their back. But to Yanyan, this should be her normal behavior for the past nine years.

If she had grown up in the SU family, she would definitely have been pampered like a pampered young lady, let alone the Shi family.

su mu only felt his chest tighten.

When Shi Yan opened the door and entered the courtyard, he saw the scene in the courtyard, especially the pile of chopped firewood and the group of chickens and ducks that were circled. His heart felt even more stifled.

Jing Hailan didn’t say anything. She just held his hand.

not to mention su mu, when she saw such a scene and thought of how shi yan had lived here for nine years, and how she had lived alone for six years, she felt a little upset.

“Sister Yan, your yard is really well tidied up. I feel so energetic standing in the yard. The vegetables are planted well, and the chickens and ducks are well fed. We’re in for a good meal these few days.”

“Sister Hailan, you’re too kind. Let’s take your luggage into the house first.”

“You don’t need to. Jiang Cheng and I will do it.” Su mu said, ” Yanyan, lead Rui ‘er and your sister hai LAN into the house first. hai lan and i came over without telling you in advance, so you probably didn’t prepare anything. you might have to prepare a room for us.”

This was true.

shi yan only knew that jiang rui and jiang cheng were coming, so she only tidied up su yu’s room for them to stay in for a few days.

the courtyard was not big, and there were not many rooms. shi yan did not plan to let someone else live in su chen’s room without his knowledge, so she did need to clean up another room.

he could only clean up the pavilion.

“Alright, I’ll bring Rui ‘er and sister hai LAN into the house first.”

“What do I need to do? I’ll help too.” compared to su mu and jing hailan’s unhappiness, jiang rui was much better.

after the little bit of discomfort in her heart disappeared, she was full of enthusiasm.

It was probably because she was standing in a different position from the others.

in her opinion, shi yan was someone she could rely on, not someone she needed to take care of. she just felt that shi yan didn’t care what kind of environment she lived in.

miss Shi, leave the herbs in the courtyard and deal with them later. Come and wash your hands first. Jiang che brought over a basin of warm water.

after shi yan washed her hands, he took a handkerchief and helped her dry them.

“You want to clean up the room? I’ll clean up whatever you need to. You don’t need to do anything, go to the kitchen and prepare dinner.”

He glanced at Jiang Rui, but before he could say anything, Jiang Rui immediately stood up and said, ” “fifth uncle, i’ll go help yan!”

“i’ll go help too.” Jing Hailan said with a smile.

Just like that, they split into two groups. The three girls went to prepare dinner, while the three boys went to clean up the pavilion.

They had originally planned to let the two boys stay in the pavilion and the two girls stay in Su Yu’s room. In the end, su mu and Jing Hailan suggested that they stay in the pavilion and let Jiang Rui and Jiang Cheng have the rooms downstairs.

they were putting themselves in the position of half a host and treating jiang rui and jiang sheng as guests.

shi yan naturally did not have any objections to this. it was fine as long as they themselves felt that there was no problem.

at dinner, there were six people sitting at the table that only had two people for the past few days.

she put a mouthful of food into her mouth. it was so delicious that jiang rui narrowed her eyes.”yan, your cooking is so delicious! I’ve also learned how to cook seriously, but compared to you, my cooking is almost like pig feed.”

jiang cheng, who had eaten the most of her dishes in the past: “……”

he glanced at her.

Jiang Rui immediately reacted and laughed dryly. ” exaggerated technique, exaggerated technique. i’m not comparing you to a pig! ”

“Sister Yan’s cooking is really good, to be honest. It’s a wise decision for us to follow you. We’ll have good food for the next few days.” Jing Hailan nudged su mu with her elbow. don’t you think so, su mu? ”

su mu’s heart ached.

He didn’t really want to talk.

He had been given the title of ‘brother’ for nothing. This was the first time in his life that he had eaten Yanyan’s cooking!

She glared at Jiang che, who was putting food into Shi Yan’s bowl.

Such a good sister, he got off easy!

“yingluo is.” he put some food into jing hailan’s bowl. ” let’s eat. ”

“right, yan, it’s so cold in this season. can you still pick the herbs you need?” jiang rui asked in a casual manner.

” i don’t usually pick a fixed type of herb. i pick whatever i see. although there aren’t many herbs suitable for this season, there are still some. ”

“i see. are you still going tomorrow? I also want to try.”

“if you don’t have any other arrangements, then go.”

“Before we came, did you and fifth uncle have other plans?”

“No, I didn’t. I was originally going to pick herbs, but I was going to a place further away.”

“Then let’s follow your original plan. We’re here to have fun anyway. You can arrange it however you want. It’s just fun for us anyway.”

seeing that the others agreed with jiang rui, shi yan smiled and said, ” “Alright,” he said.

after dinner, jiang che said, ” yanyan, bring the guest to the living room to rest. i’ll clean up here. ”

Su mu couldn’t bear to hear him speak in the tone of a secondary master. Jiang Rui and Jing Hailan were shocked once again.

they didn’t dare to imagine how the noble fifth lord jiang would clean up the kitchen and wash the dishes.

“i’ll stay and help.” Jiang Cheng said.

even jiang cheng couldn’t feel at ease when he asked fifth uncle to clean up the dishes and sit down.

“I’ll stay and help too.” Su mu said, not willing to admit defeat.

in the end, the three of them stayed behind to clean up the kitchen.

While he was packing, su mu was sizing up Jiang che. Seeing that Jiang che was doing it in an orderly manner and did not look like a newbie at all, he finally felt better.

it wasn’t as if he didn’t need his sister to do anything.

“Yanyan should be staying here for the new year. Is fifth Lord Jiang planning to stay here and accompany her?”

“It doesn’t look like it?” A person with good looks and good temperament would be a pleasing picture even if they were washing dishes with a washcloth.

su mu’s eyes were dazzled, and when he reacted, he couldn’t help but shiver in disgust.

however, even he was almost bewitched by jiang che’s appearance. it was no wonder that yanyan’s indifferent and indifferent personality could not escape it.

“there’s nothing about resemblance. i just want to say that if fifth lord jiang can’t stay here to spend the new year with her, then don’t leave her alone. Although I don’t want to admit it, if you ask, she should be happy to follow you no matter where you go.”

Jiang che didn’t give him an answer and only glanced at him.

but for su mu, that was enough.

Not everything needed to be said.

“How long will you be here?” Jiang che glanced at Jiang Cheng.

“Five days at most.” jiang cheng knew that he found them an eyesore. ” i don’t mean to disturb fifth uncle, but rui ‘er wants to see the place where miss shi has lived for many years. i’m worried about her being alone. ”

jiang che glanced at su mu again.

The meaning of asking him to leave couldn’t be more obvious, and su mu was furious.

“yingluo, i want to leave after the new year!”
