Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Ye Xuan Herding Geese

Wu Xiangyang was overjoyed by these words, chuckling, "You young people these days need to exercise regularly. Once you’re physically fit, that’s the real capital for revolution."

"Grandpa is right, I’ll start exercising when I go back to get that revolutionary good health," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Seeing Ye Xuan spouting nonsense, Su Yumo was speechless.

This guy, lying through his teeth without even blinking!

A two-hour mountain trek, carrying a person, and he finished in half an hour with ease. If your body still needs training, wouldn’t that be defying the heavens?

However, after a length of conversation, Wu Xiangyang grew more and more satisfied with Ye Xuan, praising him as a fine young man of the new era.

Even Ye Xuan, with his thick skin, blushed at the praise!

"Yumo, I originally thought you’d choose a slick, pretty-boy boyfriend, the type who’s the most deceptive, which is something to be avoided at all costs! But I find young Ye quite good, honest and kind. That’s how a boyfriend should be, decisive and responsible."

Wu Xiangyang’s thinking was still rooted in the older generation, disliking the flamboyant young people of today, but he had much appreciation for Ye Xuan.

"Grandpa Wu, you should stop praising him, or else he might just float away," said Su Yumo helplessly.

"Yumo, what Grandpa Wu says is the truth, how could that be considered praise?"

Ye Xuan chuckled, shamelessly singing his own praises, which earned him an eye roll from Su Yumo.

"Don’t just stand outside, come on in!"

Li Guilan called out, leading the group towards the house.

The group passed through a small bamboo grove and arrived in front of a single-story house nestled among the bamboos.

Li Guilan’s house was built of cement and brick. It had three rooms, one each in the horizontal and vertical directions, with a slightly larger one in the middle, which served as the main room.

Some parts of the walls were peeling, revealing the red bricks beneath, and many tiles on the roof were broken, showing its age.

According to Li Guilan, the house was built brick by brick by Wu Xiangyang when they got married, which was about fifty or sixty years ago. It had undergone many renovations over time, with two additional buildings constructed alongside.

Nowadays, they were waiting for their daughter-in-law to save enough money in the city to build a large house back home for their grandson’s marriage.

The four entered the main room, which was furnished with a wooden table, chairs, and other pieces of furniture.

The environment was very simple, but it was spotless and looked rather refreshing!

This showed that the old couple loved cleanliness and swept the house every day.

"Yumo, you and young Ye sit down, I’ll go drive the geese back home," said Li Guilan, picking up a bamboo stick to herd the geese.

"Old woman, Yumo and young Ye have just arrived; can’t you rest for a bit and drive the geese back later?" Wu Xiangyang suggested.

"What do you know? If we don’t drive them back now, the geese will go into the fields and eat the crops."

Li Guilan was accustomed to doing farm work at home and couldn’t stay idle for a moment.

"It’s okay, Granny Li, I’ll drive the geese back for you," Ye Xuan stood up and offered.

"Young Ye, you know how to drive geese?" Li Guilan asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I’ve done it before in the mountains; it’s no trouble for me," Ye Xuan confidently replied.

Back then, he had stayed in the mountains for a long time with his master, Old Chen, and it was no surprise that he had herded chickens, ducks, and geese.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s response, Li Guilan and Wu Xiangyang, the elderly couple, were impressed. They had assumed Ye Xuan to be a city kid unfamiliar with farm work, but learning that he could drive geese only increased their fondness for him.

"Granny Li, where are the geese? I’ll go drive them back," Ye Xuan asked.

"The pond is just up ahead; take fifty steps forward, and you’ll see it," Li Guilan pointed forward and said.

Ye Xuan nodded and immediately left the house.

He picked up a bamboo pole from the yard and quickly walked towards the pond where the geese were gathered.

After about fifty steps, he indeed saw a small pond with a flock of big white geese diving and frolicking in the water.

Ye Xuan picked up the pole and began to herd the geese.

"This kid is really quite good. He herds the geese as if he were a pro, no different from us country folks."

Wu Xiangyang and several others stood in the yard, watching Ye Xuan herd a flock of geese into an orderly formation, a smile instantly blooming on their faces.

"Yes, the young Ye is simple and honest, a good match for Yumo. He doesn’t have that impetuousness or affectation of city folk."

Li Guilan nodded in agreement and praised him, then turned to Su Yumo and said, "Yumo, when looking for a boyfriend, he need not be rich or noble, just someone who truly loves you and can accompany you for a lifetime! Just like your grandfather Wu and me. We had hard times when we were young, and now in old age, our children aren’t around to care for us. But as long as two people are together, no matter how hard it gets, they can make it through. So, finding someone who truly accompanies you is most important!"

"Grandma Li, meeting Ye Xuan was my good fortune; he... he’s truly kind to me."

Su Yumo said softly, her eyes slightly shimmering as she watched Ye Xuan approaching from a distance, her thoughts unknown.

As the three of them chatted, Ye Xuan had already herded the geese over.

Honk honk honk honk!

The flock of geese advanced like soldiers in formation, calling out in unison, marching and advancing in step, entering the yard in an organized fashion, without any sign of disarray.

Seeing this, both Wu Xiangyang and Li Guilan were surprised; they had not expected Ye Xuan not only to know how to herd geese but to do it so well!

They admitted to themselves that even after herding geese for a lifetime, they could not manage to do it so neatly.

Ye Xuan herded the geese into the greenhouse, closed the door, leaned the bamboo pole against the wall, and clapped his hands, having honorably completed the task.

"Little Ye, well done!"

Wu Xiangyang gave a thumbs up, laughing and praising him like an old general rewarding his soldier.

Su Yumo put down her phone, having recorded the moment just now. She was now covering her mouth, giggling to herself.

Herding geese, this was a side of Ye Xuan she had never seen before. Saved by her forever, it would be a beautiful memory!

By this time, the sun had also set, and everyone headed back inside the house.

"Little Ye, you’ve been traveling the mountain roads for so long, you must be tired, right? Go and rest for a while; I’ll go and prepare dinner."

Li Guilan instructed, getting ready to head into the kitchen with Wu Xiangyang.

"Grandma Li, you two are already of a respectable age; how could I let you do this? Please let me handle it!" Ye Xuan hurriedly spoke.

He was young, and it didn’t seem right to have the elderly prepare dinner for him.

"How can that be? You and Yumo are guests; how can we let you do the cooking?"

Li Guilan immediately objected.

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Grandma Li, you consider Yumo your own granddaughter, and as Yumo’s boyfriend, I’m like half a grandson-in-law to you! It’s only proper for me to cook for the two of you; how can I let you do it yourselves?"

"Old lady, just let Little Ye do it. They’ve come all this way; let’s enjoy ourselves for once."

Wu Xiangyang was quite open to the idea, trying to persuade Li Guilan.

"Well... alright then! Little Ye, but this is cooking for a crowd; do you know how?"

Li Guilan, unable to resist further, finally agreed and then posed another question.
