Chapter 3.2 - Retired life is pretty good

Special Assistant Lin wondered if President Wen also thought that Zhuang Yanyu was deliberately approaching him or something.

Hearing this, Wen Chenxi raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes under the rimless glasses scrutinizing: “You are making me doubt your professional ability.”

Special Assistant Lin gave a light cough: “I’m just being careful.”

Wen Chenxi put away Zhuang Yanyu’s information file, and said: “There is no way, go and finsh your work.”

Special Assistant Lin: “Yes.”

Then he(SAL) felt strange, since he(WCX) did not suspect Zhuang Yanyu, why need to check his(ZYY) information?

Half past six in the evening.

Zhuang Yanyu ate on time, and according to the advice given by scientific experts, he chewed carefully and finished dinner in 20 minutes, spent 5 minutes washing the dishes and the stove, played three games of chess with an uncle under a tree, and finally sat on a big rock, enjoying the cool and fanning himself with several uncles.

Looking around, this area was full of retired uncles and aunties. Only one young, handsome and good-looking young man was sitting among them.

Obviously, it should have been an incompatible picture, but Zhuang Yanyu, with a relaxed expression, inexplicably blended in very harmoniously with the surrounding uncles and aunties, and there was not the slightest disharmony.

When an aunty passed by, she asked casually: “Yo, I heard that you are retired? How is your retirement life?”

Zhuang Yanyu nodded comfortably, “Not bad.”

But as soon as his words fell, Zhuang Yanyu realized that his voice overlapped with another voice with some vicissitudes, and were even almost in unison.

Zhuang Yanyu turned his head to look, and saw a new uncle who had just turned 60 years old sitting next to him, looking at him.

The new uncle said speechlessly: “Elder sister is asking me, why are you answering?”

Zhuang Yanyu silently looked away: “Oh.”

He also just retired, didn’t he?

After observing the humans coming and going around him, Zhuang Yanyu memorized their words and deeds in his mind, ended today’s task of learning to be a human and went home to sleep.

The following day was a weekend so Zhuang Yanyu went back to his hometown in the countryside.

His hometown is on the outskirts of City A, which is not too rural. Other cities have established urban villages but because of the numerous mountainous farmland in their county, the state clearly stated that the farmland could not be used for building houses or other purposes, so large-scale development could not be done, hence many people have taken up tourism, tours that going around the farmhouse.

When Zhuang Yanyu arrived home, his father was busy killing chickens. Upon seeing Zhuang Yanyu, Lao Zhuang’s¹ eyes lit up: “Xiao ShiYi², you’re back, are you tired? Go get a cup of tea and have a rest.”

Zhuang Yanyu put down his things and after drinking a cup of tea, he returned to Lao Zhuang and said, “You aren’t going to plant anything today?”

Lao Zhuang said: “The peach tree was just planted this morning, isn’t Uncle Liu’s next door to you doing some kind of farmhouse tourism? A guest from the city came, he seems to be a big boss and is very picky! He is so busy, I am helping him kill a chicken.”

Zhuang Yanyu nodded, and asked: “What do you want to plant tomorrow?”

Lao Zhuang said : “There are too many, and there are cherries, blueberries, and kiwis to be planted.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “These seedlings are suitable to be planted in winter.”

Lao Zhuang plucked the chicken feathers with big handfulls, and with a simple and honest face, he waved his hands indifferently: “Now there are greenhouses and with greenhouses, you can plant on any day, don’t worry.”

Zhuang Yanyu thought about it, and stopped persuading, saying directly: “Then I will help you tomorrow.”

“Don’t, just let me plant it slowly, you also know that if I don’t plant something every day, my whole body will itch. You go eat some fruit, they are in the kitchen, I planted them myself, no pesticides, very fresh!”

“Okay.”

After Zhuang Yanyu finished a dragon fruit, Lao Zhuang had already plucked finished the chicken feathers and asked him to send it to Uncle Liu from next door.

Zhuang Yanyu took the chicken and went next door. Their house was not an old house, but a red brick house with a yard in front of the door.

The two families was a little more than ten meters apart, so it was only a few steps away. At this time, four or five luxury cars were parked in front of Uncle Liu’s house, and each car looked like something worth several million.

Zhuang Yanyu also saw a somewhat familiar car.

Zhuang Yanyu’s footsteps stopped slightly, and his eyes slowly opened wide, as if he was suddenly connected to the signal light of the signal tower, and the light suddenly flickered.

He carefully read the number on the license plate number by number.

That’s right – it’s Wen Chenxi’s car!

The author has something to say:

PS——

Assistant Lin: If it was not because of suspicion, why did you do that?

Wen Chenxi: Seeing a beauty and getting thoughts³, cannot?

Assistant Lin: …

Zhuang Yanyu, who was still worrying about how to get to know his brother: Why don’t you just forget it!

¹ -> Lao Zhuang – 老庄，calling Zhuang Yanyu’s father, not his name just a form of address.

² -> Xiao Shiyi – 小十一，calling Zhuang Yanyu, like a nickname that means little eleven.

³ -> Seeing a beauty and getting thoughts of aggresion – 见色起意, having ambiguous thoughts when one saw a beautiful person. Our gong has a crush! <3
