Protagonist:

Shen Yao

People are like this, always hesitating before acting.

Shen Le acts impulsively, but when actually asked to do something, she is afraid and worried.

The matter of planting fruit trees and raising livestock was indefinitely shelved, and Shen Le temporarily stayed with Shen Yao to help.

Time came to June, and Shen Yao woke up amidst a shaking of earth and mountains.

Earthquake!

The province they were in clearly had no earthquake belt!

Hurriedly running out of the room, Shen Yao stepped on the constantly shaking ground and could only rely on her legs to run toward the Shen family home.

Along the road, residents constantly came out of their rooms, dressed lightly, carrying their families and belongings.

Shen Guozhu and his wife brought Shen Le, holding the family's treasures in their arms.

"Mom, we don't need to take this, let's quickly go to the empty space."

"Oh my, the seeds just bought back, and the passbook at home, did you bring them?"

"Brought, brought, hurry!"

Shen Yao then heard the family of three checking the things they had brought out in their panic.

"Dad, Mom, Little Sister"

Shen Yao called out, then walked over and sat down to rest directly.

Huff

Running this trip is truly exhausting!

Fu Chunfang quickly handed a towel for Shen Yao to wipe away the fallen sweat, muttering that fortunately Sweetwater Village's tremors weren't strong, otherwise they would surely be buried late at night.

Sweetwater Village is located in the Central Plains region, belonging to an awkward position neither backed by mountains nor facing south; summers are hot and winters cold, and with the current weather, everyone sleeps with arms and legs exposed.

Shen Yao lowered her eyes to look at the ground still shaking, and suddenly discovered something was off.

Raising her hand to pat Fu Chunfang's arm, "Mom, look at our courtyard wall, isn't the distance a bit farther?"

Sweetwater Village's layout is long and strip-shaped, dwelling along the river from south to north.

Although the Shen family is at the village center, they are still quite a distance from the neighbors on either side, plus walking a few steps forward from the Shen family leads to the village's activity plaza, so the courtyard wall was built somewhat to the edge.

Normally, from their door to the plaza is over ten meters, but looking at the door now, the distance is obviously farther, because the courtyard wall used as a reference is not as majestic as before.

Fu Chunfang raised her eyelids upon hearing this, blinking doubtfully, "It really seems so!"

Slapping her thigh, a red mark appeared instantly.

Shen Le and Shen Guozhu followed closely behind; Shen Le wished to take out a ruler to measure, oh my, it's truly strange.

As the sky slowly brightened, this earthquake finally passed.

The villagers who waited half the night packed their things and helped each other home.

The earthquake level wasn't high, houses weren't damaged, just some dust fell, needing a big cleanup.

The television news broadcasted an emergency insertion about this earthquake affecting the entire province and city; the latest news is that no one was injured, but there were related property losses.

And after the earthquake, the officials announced through various channels the major news that the land area had increased.

This scope included the entire planet, as if it had taken a swelling agent; mountains, rivers, even human cities, all became several times larger.

At Sweetwater Village's entrance, two households were unlucky; their houses were pulled apart, as if directly split in half by a knife.

When the Village Chief was tallying property losses, he reported these two households; regardless of whether they could get government subsidies, they had to rebuild their houses.

Shen Yao returned to the farmstead, planting crops on the land shaken out, and didn't forget to run to the mountain foot to catch the frightened chickens, ducks, and geese to care for them separately.

"The concentration of spiritual energy in the air has increased," because of this earthquake.

Shen Yao took a deep breath, and without waiting for the system's answer, returned to her residence to rest.

For her, this earthquake was more beneficial than harmful; the rise in spiritual energy concentration reduced the loss of arrays and spirit stones buried in the land, originally usable for one year, now usable for one and a half years.

Exhausting the wood-type ability within her body, Shen Yao closed her eyes to recover; repeating several times, she could feel the wood-type ability had grown a bit stronger than before.

…………

"Village Chief, take the money; I'm renting the land, there's no reason to get it for nothing."

Shen Yao picked a sunny day, took a sum of money, and found the Village Chief.

According to the previous land rent, she supplemented the cost for the newly increased land area, ensuring she left no room for gossip.

"You child, I've watched you grow up; there's not much money."

The Village Chief surnamed Shen and had a kinship with their family; originally he didn't want to take it, but Shen Yao feared trouble later and insisted on giving it regardless.

This land is village property; the annual rent must be divided equally among the villagers.

Taking a bit more now without quibbling, if it continues to increase later, public and private are clearly distinguished; only then can she expand the planting scale and establish herself in Sweetwater Village.

Countryside life is calm; even with such a big event, it still doesn't affect the villagers' daily life.

But at this time in the city, it was a complete mess; some unlucky ones couldn't even keep their homes.

Song Zeyun returned home wearing a special mask and immediately ran to the bathroom; he was already fair-skinned, but now even paler.

Shaking the water droplets off his hands, Song Zeyun looked at himself in the glass mirror, then took out his phone to call his parents and elders.

He couldn't stay in the city anymore; the price of awakening the smell ability was that his spirit was tormented incessantly.

A sense of smell that's too sharp is also no good; the city air was mixed with too many things; Yu Ze Yun felt he wasn't a picky person, but the body's objective reasons couldn't be controlled at will, so he could only find ways to make himself feel a bit better.

Boom boom boom

Yu Ze Yun stood up and opened the room door, only to see Yu Xingye, who looked like a husky, standing at the doorway with two suitcases.

This earthquake caused no losses to the Yu Family; instead, it awakened superpowers in two of the Yu Family's grandchildren.

Yu Xingye was better than Yu Ze Yun; he belonged to the strength-type mutation, possessing infinite strength and able to easily lift a small car.

"Brother, I booked several farm stays; let's set off now."

Yu Xingye knew his cousin's problem, thinking that the city air wasn't fresh, wouldn't going to the countryside perfectly solve it? Then they could also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rural countryside and taste fresh, unpolluted fruits and vegetables—simply wonderful.

Yu Ze Yun:...

Yu Ze Yun didn't know if his cousin's head had been damaged by hitting a wall before; he shook his head with a rather helpless tone, "Aren't you going to school?"

Yu Xingye's face stiffened for a moment, then he scratched his head to change the topic, "Oh, it's not early, let's hurry."

What school? He had clearly taken leave and wasn't going back.

The two brothers finally drove out of the city, heading toward several farm stays recommended by Yu Xingye along the highway.

"Brother, these are all places I carefully selected; this time we'll look at them one by one, guaranteeing we fulfill Grandpa and Grandma's instructions, making sure you eat well, sleep well, and rest well."

Heaven pitied him; his cousin was good in every way, except his nose was too sensitive—even wearing a mask didn't help.

Sigh

Previously he had envied his cousin for being able to enter the Management Bureau and secure an Iron Rice Bowl, but right now he had no such mindset; strength-type was truly fragrant, one force breaks ten thousand arts!

Yu Ze Yun sat in the passenger seat; because his nose was too sensitive, the window couldn't be opened and the air conditioner couldn't be turned on. Fortunately, after the car drove out of the city center, the smells in the air gradually became normal.

Looking down at several farm stays on his phone, Yu Ze Yun set his gaze on the Shen Family Farm located in Sweetwater Village.

"Sweetwater Village"

Yu Xingye made an "oh" sound upon hearing this, "It's in Jin County, the farthest from the city center, but the price is the most expensive. According to users who have been there, the farm is self-sufficient, the fruits and vegetables are purely natural, green, and pollution-free—absolutely worth it."

It was also considering that his cousin was not short of money; otherwise Yu Xingye wouldn't dare to be so wasteful.

Yu Ze Yun made an "en" sound, his long eyelashes blinked, like butterflies dancing gracefully.

Yu Xingye talked to himself, "Let's go to Peach Blossom Village, the closest one first, next is..."

Anyway, this time they went out, they must let their cousin live a peaceful and comfortable life.

Ding ling ling—

The phone's built-in ringtone rang; it was an unfamiliar phone number.

Shen Yao was certain she didn't know the caller; after answering, she learned it was a guest who had booked a farm stay through the software.

At this time?

Shen Yao looked at the sky color outside the window, and before the other party arrived, she tidied up the guest small building not far next door.

Fortunately, a village auntie came to help clean every other day; she only needed to simply send the pillows and quilts over for them to move in.

"Boss, boss"

A black sedan appeared low-key at the farm entrance; Yu Xingye got out of the car and shouted, seeing someone inside waving, he hurriedly drove into the farm.

At the passenger seat, Yu Ze Yun looked listless and couldn't muster any spirit.

Before coming to Sweetwater Village, they had visited three or four farm stays; without exception, Yu Ze Yun had no hope for them. Who would have thought that after coming to Shen Family Farm, he could finally take off his mask.

En?

Shen Yao looked at a somewhat familiar face and pointed to the residence not far away.

The room fee includes three meals a day; the price is not low.

Neither party had any objection to this. After handing over the keys, Shen Yao returned to her room to prepare for dinner.

"Brother"

Yu Xingye unloaded the luggage from the trunk and called out to Yu Ze Yun, who had already taken off his mask.

"I'll transfer money to you; remember to renew the lease." The air was fresh and the environment beautiful; after leaving the city's clamor, they returned to simplicity.

Yu Ze Yun took a deep breath, took the key from Yu Xingye's hand, and opened the room door.

It was a very simple two-story wooden building; the materials used were environmentally friendly and safe, but its practicality couldn't compare to the boss's own residence.

Yu Xingye huffed and puffed as he carried the luggage inside, and before he could catch his breath, he heard knocking at the door.

Shen Yao brought up the prepared three dishes and one soup, saying, "You can cook your own meals; ingredients are free, as long as they are within the farm's scope."

The farm stay was not Shen Yao's main business scope; it was merely a side business making full use of resources. From the fact that the several residences she built were suitable for summer and autumn, one could see the trick.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xingye showed a big smile, "Boss is too courteous; our brothers' cooking skills are not good. In the future, we might still need to trouble the boss a lot."

Given his own virtue of not being able to distinguish sugar from salt, and his cousin's taste for light and picky food, cooking would be tantamount to endangering their already scarce brotherly love. It was better to rely on the boss's cooking for daily meals.

Shen Yao nodded, "Breakfast and dinner are not ordered; lunch will be handled by a village auntie. If you want to eat something, you can tell the auntie."

After explaining the three meals a day, Shen Yao introduced several good spots in Sweetwater Village, including the situation of the villagers. After all, those who come to farm stays are not short of money; the original rural style is exactly what they pursue.

Shen Yao turned and left. Yu Xingye carried the food inside and hurriedly called his cousin.

Yu Ze Yun, who had finally gotten a bit sleepy:...

"Brother, that boss just now looks familiar," but he didn't have this type of beauty in his memory, especially since the other party wore simple, loose clothes, with thick hair simply tied behind her head, very much having the charm of a 1990s Hong Kong-style beauty.

"A relative from the bed next to yours when you were hospitalized," Yu Ze Yun had an extremely good memory.

Back then, he carried an insulated bucket to the hospital and had a brief few seconds of eye contact with Shen Yao.

But it wasn't that Yu Ze Yun was lustful; rather, normal people would remember men and women with exceptionally outstanding appearances, even if several months had passed.

Hearing this, Yu Xingye suddenly realized; it turned out to be that auntie who bumped her head.

Back then, Yu Xingye had chatted with this auntie. Although they were old, they considered each other bosom friends. If it weren't for being discharged later, who knows if their relationship could have become even closer.

"So you're saying, Auntie Fu's family also lives in Sweetwater Village."

Just right. The two brothers brought a lot of luggage on this trip, inside were many things prepared by the elders. Taking them out to give as gifts was just right.

Greeting his cousin with a beaming smile to hurry and eat, Yu Xingye tasted the tomato scrambled eggs. The fragrant yet not fishy, somewhat sweet eggs captured him. Delicious!

Three dishes and one soup; the two brothers didn't leave a bit, all eating it into their bellies.

Yu Xingye lay on the sofa unwilling to move, and Yu Ze Yun chased him to clean the tableware; in the end, Yu Ze Yun personally returned him to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao:...?

Seeing this beautiful and gorgeous face again, Shen Yao's heart inevitably skipped a beat.

She took some more fruits produced by the farm, "Except for the foot of the mountain which is off-limits, you can go anywhere else."

"If there's anywhere you need help, just say so; the villagers of Sweetwater Village are simple and enthusiastic, and staying for a short period will be very comfortable," as for the long term, forget it for now—the reason the countryside is an experience rather than a residence is that once you've adapted to urban convenience, it's hard to downgrade.

Yu Ze Yun looked like a business elite at first glance; such a person did not belong to the countryside.

In their first conversation, both sides said very normal things; Shen Yao had her own farm to manage, and Yu Ze Yun had his own career to complete.

The two didn't have much time to meet; when they occasionally ran into each other, they just nodded in greeting.

In July, after the college entrance exam ended, Shen Shuo got his scores and began pondering the series of matters regarding admission.

His scores weren't high, just enough to reach the undergraduate line; the Shen Family Wedding Guests discussed it and still felt that universities within the province were perfect.

Shen Shuo didn't have much ambition; after listening to his parents' arrangement, he went to the farm to help out.

The farm's fruits and vegetables entered the fruiting period; every morning several trucks came, Shen Yao spent money hiring many villagers to help, and Shen Le and Shen Shuo could earn some pocket money relying on their elder sister.

"Brother Yu"

Shen Shuo handed Yu Xingye a sweet melon, a result he had just picked.

"Xiao Shuo"

Yu Xingye finished his morning run, sweat drops falling along his temples without him minding.

"Mom told you to come home for lunch at noon," Fu Chunfang really liked Yu Xingye; he was sensible and sweet-tongued, more thoughtful than the children in her own family.

Shen Shuo was initially very unhappy, but was soon conquered by Yu Xingye's personal charm; they were both boys, and as long as they played together they could forget all previous unpleasantness.

Nowadays the two were very close as brothers, practically staying together every day.
