Chapter 99
At night, Yang Yuyan quietly drilled into Yang Yucan’s bedroom, pretending to ask her: “Sister, you do not want to say something?”
Yang Yucan closed her eyes, wanting to fall asleep, but Yang Yuyan lying next to her was in the middle of a conversation.
She let out a long breath and said coldly, “Say what?”
Yang Yuyan lying on the back of Yang Yucan, whispered: “You do not oppose ah?”
Yang Yucan: “No objection.”
Yang Yuyan was very upset: “Haven’t you always disliked him being in love with me? You always stare at him when he comes over.”
Yang Yuchan rolled over and stared at this little thing that doesn’t sleep, viciously: “Then you want me to object?”
Yang Yuyan quickly remedied, it’s not like she really doesn’t want to marry Mr. Su.
“Not really, I just think …… it is too fast. I’m in love and I’m getting married?”
Yang Yucan reiterated: “Engagement, not marriage. Want to get married is still early, wait for you to graduate.”
Yang Yuyan heard that it will be four years, suddenly a big sigh of relief, immediately the so-called engagement ceremony as a game.
It’s not real.
It’s that ritual that adults always love to do, almost the same as the annual New Year’s gathering of relatives. Obviously it was tiring, expensive and always a drunken fight to bond, but everyone enjoyed it.
She rolled over and lay flat: “To wait until I graduate ah, that’s good, that’s good.”
Yang Yuchan, however, came to talk and felt that as an older sister, she needed to teach her younger sister a lesson.
She said, “The family didn’t just agree, don’t think that everything can be done this way in the future, this time is a special case.”
Yang Yuyan coped: “I know, I know, what else is going to happen in the future? Not just this one big life event.” She smiled and teased.
Yang Yucan sighed, more and more feel that she is immature, this is about to get engaged, still like a child.
She said: “You have been talking for almost three or four months, the family is watching, mom and I think Mr. Su is more than enough for you, if you miss Mr. Su, you want to find the same as him, it’s not easy to do.”
Yang Yuyan was unconvinced: “Why is he more than enough for me? Am I that bad?”
Yang Yucan sneered, thinking that she really didn’t know herself, “Where are you better? Are you particularly good at studying? Are you especially beautiful? You have a gentle nature? Are you good at everything, from going out in the hall to entering the kitchen?”
Yang Yuyan was dumbfounded by her own sister.
Yang Yuchan: “The two of you can be matched together because you have love, in terms of conditions, you’re actually not very compatible.”
Yang Yuyan is even more unconvinced: “Where are Mr. Su and I not compatible?”
Yang Yuchan: “Although Ma Tianbao and I broke up in the end, I think that even if the two of us got married, we actually wouldn’t have a particularly bad life, because our goals are the same, our ideals are the same.”
Yang Yuyan retorted especially slily, “Bread first, then talk about ideals, you’ll only be able to run around for bread if you’re with him, and ideals will really only be something to think about.”
Yang Yuchan asked her back, “Then you and Mr. Su do have bread, but do you have ideals?”
Yang Yuyan didn’t understand, “Why don’t we have ideals?” She knows about Mr. Su’s ideals, she supports him and can even give him some guidance!
Yang Yuchan stretched her arms, “Mr. Su will be socializing in the official world in the future, can you be a good official wife? Can you play cards? Can you drink? Will you entertain his colleagues and superiors?”
Yang Yuyan froze at once, this was something she hadn’t thought about at all.
Yang Yuyan sighed, “That’s what I’m worried about. You don’t know any of this, and you can’t learn.” She reclined and said, “I told mom, and mom said it’s because you’re lazy.”
Yang Yuyan: “…… Lazy? Then why don’t I learn to play cards from mom?” Her character was still very positive.
Yang Yuchan closed her eyes, “You can learn if you want to. Go to sleep, don’t talk about it.”
Yang Yucan rolled over and went to sleep, Yang Yuyan thought in a daze for a while and also went to sleep, the next day she got up and remembered last night’s conversation, early in the morning she wore her pajamas and went to look for Zhang Ma, asking if there were any mahjong tiles at home.
Zhang Ma was so busy in the morning that when she saw this little ancestor popping up with a new idea, she first fooled her: “Yes, your mom would not have mahjong tiles? There are several pairs of them, alabaster, onyx, and gold-plated. You want them? Then I’ll find them for you when I’m free.”
Yang Yuyan went back to the house to change her clothes.
When she finished breakfast, Zhang Ma remembered this and asked her in front of everyone, “Second Miss, what are you looking for mahjong tiles for?”
When this was asked, everyone at the table looked at her.
Yang Yuyan straightened up, “Learning.”
Zhu Yan Shu laughed: “Yo, have you gotten the hang of it? In the past, you wouldn’t even play if I coaxed you to play. I’m telling you, learning mahjong has a lot of benefits, learning it is good for math, and the more you do it, the better your brain gets.”
Yang Yuyan didn’t know anything about the past, so she said to Zhu Yanshu: “Mom is right, I just want to learn, so I can play at home in the future.”
Zhu Yanshu was even happier and said with a smile, “That’s good, Zhang Ma ah, go and find a pair of them, I’m not going out today, so I’ll play with Yan Yan and teach her.”
Zhang Ma just smiled, looked at Yang Yuyan and said, “Then I’ll go find one.”
Yang Yuyan half understood, the alarm in her heart began to sound a siren, turning her gaze to Yang Yucan.
Yang Yuchan remembered things two years earlier than her and remembered everything clearly, smiling coldly at Yang Yuyan: “You’ve forgotten all your lessons, haven’t you? Forget about the previous loss of snot and tears at the poker table, clutching the cards and refusing to get off the table, hugging can not be hugged down.”
Yang Yuyan was dumbfounded, “What? I’ve played before? Lost?”
Zhang Ma laughed and said, “Your mom won all your and your sister’s year-end money when they were young.”
Su Chunjun was just laughing on the side, not going to the rescue.
Zhu Yanshu is also laughing, patting away Yang Yucan and continuing to coax Yang Yuyan, “Don’t listen to your sister, at that time you were small, you didn’t know how to play before you lost, now you are so big and have a good head on your shoulders, you won’t lose again. Now you’re so big and smart, you won’t lose again.”
Yang Yuyan looked around and refused to be fooled.
Yang Yuyan glanced at Su Chunjun and said to Zhu Yanshu, “She told me last night that she wanted to learn mahjong.”
Su Chunjun was sensitive to the fact that the source of this was in him, and after thinking about it, he still didn’t open his mouth.
Yang Yuyan naturally wanted to defend herself, “I was thinking that this is also a skill that can be used in the future. Mom went to play cards, not purely to play cards ah. This is also a way to make friends and get in touch with others.”
Su Chunjun then understood, so Yang Yuyan suddenly wanted to learn how to play mahjong for him. He never thought of transforming Yang Yuyan into a qualified official wife, he did not need her to socialize at the card table, did not need her to be exquisite at the banquet, did not need her to be a long-sleeved dancer, and to be able to do a good job of lady’s diplomacy for the men. Because he was worried that she would slowly become no longer her.
He just wanted her to be like this forever, to never change.
He probed forward and softly said, “Playing mahjong well is indeed a skill, but mahjong itself has a certain degree of fun, if you like, I’ll play with you in the future, we don’t gamble, we only count the number of points, which is a very good test of mental arithmetic, you also have to learn to cheat the cards, and you also have to fight with the upper and lower house to match, it’s very interesting to play seriously.”
Zhu Yanshu understood the meaning of Su Chunjun’s words and said with a smile, “What’s the point of not betting money?” She turned to Yang Yuyan and said, “But your teacher Su is right, this is a game, playing is just for fun. Do you still want to learn kung fu? You can’t learn to be a mahjong champion either.” She then pointed to Su Chunjun, “Besides, your teacher Su didn’t get his start by playing mahjong. With him around, there’s no need for you to be a hero on the mahjong table.”
Su Chunjun smiled and nodded lightly.
Yang Yuyan’s mouth was open, the two most authoritative people around her voted against the idea, and she was beginning to feel silly about her own thoughts.
Everyone at the table was laughing, even Zhang Ma.
Well, practicing mahjong as kung fu was a bit silly, it wasn’t like she was the God of Gambling.
Yang Yuyan looked at the group and only blamed her sister, “You coaxed me to learn how to play mahjong last night!”
Yang Yuchan: “How do I know you cried so hard you forgot?”
Zhang Ma said, “Don’t blame your sister, this is the upper beam, to blame, blame your mom.”
Zhu Yanshu smiled: “Blame me, all blame me.”
Zhang Ma said, “Your mom was short of cards, so she took you and your sisters to the table, and won all of your and your sister’s New Year’s money and pocket money. That New Year’s Eve you got a new pompom, just put it on your head in the morning, it was very beautiful, after lunch you went to the table to play poker, in a short while you won away, you cried so much that you couldn’t breathe, no one coaxing could not be coaxed, your grandpa pretended to beat your mom, you also stopped it.”
Zhu Yan Shu laughed: “That was the last time. After that, your sister refused to come to the table to play with me, and she couldn’t even be tricked. I had to go out and find someone else to play.”
So there was this part of the past.
Yang Yuyan used to wonder why she and Yang Yucan couldn’t play poker, obviously Zhu Yanshu’s addiction to poker was so big that there were just four of them in the family plus Zhang Ma.
I see.
Su Chunjun saw that it was almost time and got up to go to work.
Yang Yuyan sent her to the door.
He held her hand and gently shook it, saying with a smile, “I know you’re trying to help me.”
Seeing that he understood, Yang Yuyan’s heart was sweet and the corner of her mouth curled up as she said, “It’s good that you know. I’ll always have to help you with socializing in the future.”
Su Chunjun pulled her hand to his mouth, wanting to kiss but not daring to do so, and then put it down, pulling on it, saying, “Don’t worry, you don’t have to entertain others in the future. Those people are pandemonium, I’m not happy to let you meet them. In the future, I won’t talk about business when I go home, business will be solved outside, our family will always be so good.”
Yang Yuyan did not expect him to think so, so of course more while her wish, the main thing is that Su Chunjun to her heart, she all received, a heart like dipped in the sun, warm.
She smiled sweetly and said, “That’s good, I will only listen to you.”
Su Chunjun let go of her hand, reluctantly went out to work.
