From then on, many people stood by around the Tang family, ready to run errands and earn some tips. Of course, that was a story for another time.

When the fire in the stove was about to die down, Mrs. Tang added a handful of thin, withered grass.

The fire quickly rose again. She set up a piece of firewood and then saw Susu’s slender, jade-like arms stir-frying a large pot of vegetables. Her heart ached. “Susu, come and watch the fire for a while. I’ll do the stir-fry.”

“It’s okay. I’m quite strong now.” Tang Susu wiped the sweat off her forehead. It was August, and it was a hot summer’s day. Just cooking a few dishes was already enough for her to sweat.

Mrs. Tang pushed her over to sit on a small stool and took out a small electric fan to blow off her sweat.

Tang Susu took out a tissue and wiped her wet sideburns. From time to time, she would add some firewood to the stove, and her stuffy heart felt much better.

It was almost time. Tomorrow, she will upgrade her body to a healthy one. Although she was unaffected now, she would still occasionally feel a little uncomfortable when she exercised too much.

After a while, the two brothers finished their work and came to join in.

Tang Mingzhou helped earnestly. He put on an apron and washed his white and slender hands in the basin. Then, he poured the prepared vegetables into hot oil and stir-fried them continuously with no effort. His every gesture exhibited a majestic and graceful feeling as if he was not sauteing vegetables, but something more precious.

As for Tang Mingchu, he was simply here to steal food!

He was quick and agile. Every time Mrs. Tang wanted to hit him, he would jump to the side with food in his mouth, which made Mrs. Tang furious. “We’re going to invite people to dinner later. Go and light the fire for me!”

Tang Mingchu then stopped eating and ran to the stove to take a look. He saw Susu had only stayed for a while and had already layered her face with soot. Tang Mingchu looked at her teasingly. He whisked her face and instantly, another “beard” appeared.

“Now it’s symmetrical!”

Tang Susu was speechless. He was so childish.

“I doubt that you can come out clean.”

“Then watch carefully!” The young man ran to the stove energetically, ready to show off his skills.

Mrs. Tang, who was busy cooking in front of the pot, then said without looking up, “There are still a few dishes left. Hurry up. There’s only one pot. Don’t let the first few dishes get cold when the rice is ready.”

“I remember that there’s a steamer at Susu’s place.” Tang Mingzhou took out a small generator and started it with diesel. He then lit a lamp with a high wattage, instantly illuminating a large area of darkness. Then he placed the dishes that he had prepared previously into the steamer to heat them up.

After a while, he remembered that they could have just stored the vegetables in the space to keep them warm!

Realizing this, Tang Susu and Mrs. Tang couldn’t help but laugh.

While they were busy, Tang Mingchu fiddled with the stove for some time. Suddenly, he raised his handsome face.

“This stove has quite the personality. It’s difficult to control the flames!”

“Puff!” Tang Susu looked at his face, which was covered with even more soot. Her curved eyes were filled with a seductive light.

The family enjoyed a rare, peaceful, and happy time. Their laughter spread outside. Even the occasional passerby could hear it and they were extremely envious of them.

Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Tang Susu washed her hands and face and ran to call for dinner.

Xiao Yuan lived with them, so she definitely would be joining them for dinner. Ever since they confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with Cheng Cheng’s aunt and the others, the Tang family accepted Cheng Cheng and her daughter Cheng Yuan again. They probably wouldn’t refuse to join them anymore.

When Tang Susu found Mr. Wei, he was just preparing some simple food to eat.

“Tang Susu? Just in time. I don’t have the appetite… Do you want this?” He pointed at the two plates of vegetables in front of him. “These are from Zuo Xun. He’s young, but he has a lot of thoughts in that brain of his! He used his old habits to test me so quickly.”

“Maybe it’s because of his experiences.” Tang Susu didn’t think much of it. Many people’s behavior patterns could be traced back to their childhood, and not everyone could be lucky enough to grow up without a care in the world.

Wei Chunhua sighed. He was already so old and had become a chairman before, yet he was not as tolerant as a little girl like her. She could tolerate some people’s shortcomings and seek common ground despite their differences. “That kid has his uses. At least he’s capable of thinking outside the box and executing it. He won’t be a nobody forever!”

He wouldn’t have become a named villain and his personal storyline.

Tang Susu smiled..
