Chapter 127: Huo Jingcheng set off the fireworks, Su Mingyan knows

When Su Ruoyun entered the door, Old Lady Su was preparing dinner in the dining room. Seeing Su Ruoyun enter, her movements stopped, then she walked out two steps, stood at the door, and said in a gentle and kind voice: "Your grandfather and your brother have been busy in the backyard for a while, I'll wash some fruit, you send it to them."

After speaking, she turned and walked into the kitchen, took out a box of Ruby Roman grapes from the refrigerator. The label clearly marked "Ruby Roman," and the color of the grapes was bright red, and the surface luster was as dazzling as gems.

Hearing this, Su Ruoyun nodded, responded crisply with an "Okay," put her duma backpack on the sofa, and walked into the kitchen.

Old Lady Su finished washing the grapes. Seeing her come in, she picked up a few, peeled them, and fed them to her. Afterward, Su Ruoyun took a plate of grapes and went to the backyard.

There was an empty space behind the mansion. In previous years, it was reclaimed, and Old Man Su and Old Lady Su would grow some vegetables in their spare time.

As soon as she got close, she saw Su Mingyan holding an iron hoe and loosening the soil.

The man's back was toward the path, the black obsidian cufflinks on the cuffs of his white shirt had been untied, and the sleeves were folded up a few times casually, revealing firm and powerful forearms, and the watch on his wrist was dotted with sunset light.

The hoe was inserted into the soil, his two hands were holding the hoe handle one above the other, and his shiny leather shoes stepped into the soil regardless of the image, bending down and exerting force.

When turning the soil, the back muscle lines under the man's shirt gradually became clear, the firm and straight back muscles flowed down smoothly, the shirt fabric was perfectly supported by the latissimus dorsi, outlining deep and knotted gullies.

A few spots of mud were turned onto his leather shoes, and his suit trousers were inevitably stained with mud.

Seeing her own brother's embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Old Man Su had suffered from the past and knew the difficulty of the famine years, so his requirements for the three siblings were at least to experience it personally to understand the difficulty.

The Su family didn't distinguish between heavy and light, and treated everyone equally. When they were young, none of the three could escape. Old Man Su threw them into the field, set requirements before going out, and until sunset, he had to check the "homework." Su Ruoyun was fast, but instead was the fastest of the three to complete it.

Su Mingyan stood in the field, working hard without enjoying the blessing, while standing on the side, Old Man Su, with his hands behind his back, was clearly in the appearance of pointing at the country.

Subtle footsteps came, causing Old Man Su and Su Mingyan to look up together.

Old Man Su glanced at her, didn't say much, turned his head back, saw Su Mingyan holding the shovel, his two hands clasped on the shovel handle, resting leisurely, couldn't help frowning, urging: "Work faster, if you can't do it well, don't think about touching a bite of food tonight, dawdling, doing this little work is not nimble, how can you lead tens of thousands of employees under your hands in the future?"

Hearing this, Su Mingyan's mouth corners twitched imperceptibly, sighed, and started working again.

Su Mingyan had no blessing to enjoy in the field. Old Man Su didn't like sweet things. In the end, that plate of Ruby Roman grapes was almost eaten by Su Ruoyun alone. She just watched Su Mingyan work while occasionally picking up a grape from the white porcelain plate, peeling it, and stuffing it into her mouth.

Ruby Roman grapes, easy to peel, tender and plump, sweet juice exploding, rich composite fruit fragrance, standard sweetness above 18%.

She ate with relish.

After about half an hour, the whole piece of soil was turned over once, and Su Mingyan stopped his movements, put the hoe aside, dusted the mud on his trouser legs, bent down to pick up the white towel on the rattan chair, and wiped his hands slowly.

He broke into a sweat, soaking his clothes. He should have been tired, but he felt an unprecedented refreshment, instantly unloading the inexplicable pressure on his body.

Su Mingyan took a grape from the white porcelain plate casually and stuffed it into his mouth unhurriedly.

When they went back, Su Mingyan was like a rough man, carrying a hoe on his back, the hoe handle pressed on his right shoulder, his right hand pressing the hoe handle to prevent it from slipping off his shoulder.

"Brother~" Su Ruoyun followed Su Mingyan slowly, calling lightly.

Old Man Su had long returned to the room to rest, leaving only the two siblings, walking slowly on the path.

She called "Brother" again, preparing to open her mouth to ask, but... was interrupted.

"Dinner is ready, come back and eat." Old Lady Su stood at the end of the path, calling the two.

Su Mingyan responded loudly with an okay.

Being interrupted like this, the best time to speak was missed, and Su Ruoyun didn't open her mouth again.

A pause, and it lasted until after dinner.

Su Mingyan went upstairs to take a shower, changed out of his crisp

He walked over leisurely and sat down in the rocking chair, his long legs crossed, fully displaying ease and comfort.

One hand reached into a cigarette case carelessly to fish out a thin cigarette, which he held between his lips, then he fished a custom lighter out of his pocket; the metal casing felt high-end, cold and smooth to the touch, and he slid it open to ignite.

After lighting the cigarette, Su Mingyan held his phone in his left hand while toying with the silver lighter between the fingers of his right hand, "Clink, clink, clink," opening and closing the lid back and forth at will.

Su Ruoyun accompanied Old Lady Su to finish reading today's People's Daily before walking into the courtyard to sit down beside Su Mingyan.

She didn't dare to speak directly, adopting a roundabout tactic, constantly hovering and testing the waters.

"Brother~"

Su Mingyan was typing a reply to a client on his phone while sparing a glance at her, "What is it?"

"Do you know about the fireworks in New City the day before yesterday?" Su Ruoyun asked tentatively. Upon meeting Su Mingyan's sharp, piercing gaze, she felt a pang of guilt and hurriedly lowered her head to pick at her fingers.

Su Mingyan let out a cold snort from his nose, not too loud or too soft, and replied simply: "I know."

"Do you know who set them off?"

Su Mingyan just assumed Su Ruoyun wanted to gossip with him and didn't pay much attention. His chest rose and fell slightly as he spoke unwillingly: "Huo Jingcheng."

"Huo Jingcheng, he—"

With a "clink," the metal lighter ignited, cutting off Su Ruoyun's words.

Reflecting the eerie blue-purple flame, Su Ruoyun sensed Su Mingyan's displeasure. She didn't dare say more, only managing to squeeze out one sentence, "He really is amazing."

Su Mingyan gave a light snort. In front of his younger sister, it wouldn't do to be petty and argue, so he could only give a lukewarm "Mm."

Su Ruoyun hurriedly slipped away.

……

At ten past eight, she was walking with Old Lady Su in the deep courtyard when she finally learned the reason from Old Lady Su.

"Your brother had his eye on a plot of land in New City and had several meals with people from the Development and Reform Commission, only to have it snatched away halfway through."
