Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Seeing the Word is Like Seeing the Person! _1

The chubby little pig "plopped" into the river, generating waves as its whole body plunged directly to the bottom.

It quickly reappeared at the surface, desperately swimming towards the shore.

Only for Su Pan’er to kick it back into the river.

After a few repeated failures, the little pig’s fur was already drenched. It kept splashing in the river, its snout desperately yowling, "Fat woman, fat woman, quickly pull your grandpig up! Grandpig doesn’t know how to swim, help..."

Before it could finish, it sank. After thrashing about for a bit, it surfaced and continued to wail.

"Never heard of a pig that can’t swim."

Su Pan’er was closely watching the pig’s movements as she coldly remarked, "Since you can’t swim, just sink already. Once you’ve had your fill of water, I’ll rescue you. Okay?"

"You, you ruthless fat woman!"

The struggling little pig suddenly began cursing!

It stopped struggling and floated on the surface, looking at her. Spotting Su Pan’er observing it, it instantly resumed its pitiful act.

"Dear Pan’er, I truly can’t swim. Quickly, let me get to the shore! Dear Pan’er..."

"Next time you pretend you can’t swim, remember not to paddle so rhythmically. Got it?"

Su Pan’er shot the pig a glance, then crouched down and began stationing fish on the shore.

The pig blinked in astonishment as it realized Su Pan’er had seen through its actions all along!

"I... I can’t swim..."

It grumbled for a while, but seeing Su Pan’er leaving no room for negotiation, it could only dive back into the depths again. This dive lasted longer. When it re-emerged, its mouth clung to a fish more than a foot long!

Hey!

Seems like this pig has some uses after all!

Su Pan’er squinted her eyes at it.

The pig quickly tossed the fish to Su Pan’er, turned, and dove back into the river.

After a few more rounds, the little Bama pig finally climbed onto the shore, sauntered over to Su Pan’er, and gave a good shake, spraying water everywhere.

With its pig mouth wide open, it fawned over Su Pan’er: "Pan’er, dearest Pan’er! Here’s your fish, hehe..."

"Lazy pig...."

Su Pan’er was left speechless!

It caught so many fish in such a short time. Just goes to show how lazy it normally is!

"Pan’er, dear Pan’er, this should be enough fish, right?"

The little Bama pig proudly flapped its fan-shaped ears, its eyes half-closed.

Just look at it acting all smug!

Su Pan’er pursed her lips, said no more, and started cleaning the fish.

Every single fish was lively and jumping. Su Pan’er caught a large one to kill and soon she had strung two long skewers full of fish with a straw rope.

It must be at least fifty or sixty pounds in total!

"Okay! Let’s head back!"

Su Pan’er glanced at the fish on the rope and, satisfied, she started walking home. Seeing some water celery by the river, she picked a large handful.

There’s going to be good food tonight!

In the kitchen, Mrs. Su-Hua had long since made white rice, steamed two steamers of vegetable buns, made wild vegetable soup, and stir-fried green vegetables. Seeing Su Pan’er hadn’t come back, she had been peeking out from next to the house. To her surprise, she saw Su Pan’er coming back holding two skewers of large, cleaned fish, resulting in quite a scare!

"Goodness! Where did you get all these fish from?"

At Mrs. Su-Hua’s call, Qin Yi, who was engrossed in writing, immediately looked up and also saw the two strings of fish, looking momentarily stunned.

"They were caught from the river, here! Mom, take them to the kitchen, I want to eat steamed fish, and spicy fish head!"

Su Pan’er handed over the two strings of fish and began to order dishes, with saliva starting to pool in her mouth.

She is a total foodie, when it comes to eating, nobody is more enthusiastic than her!

Mrs. Su-Hua smoothly took the fish, her eyes narrowing into slits as she laughed: "Fine! I will go and cook whatever you want to eat. Just wait a bit, it will be ready soon." Having said that, she turned and walked into the kitchen.

Only Qin Yi was looking at Su Pan’er, soaked wet, with a frown.

"Did you go in the river? Look at how wet you are, hurry and change your clothes. What if you catch a cold?"

"It’s alright, I’m very sturdy, I will change later."

Su Pan’er responded nonchalantly, looking at Ke’er who was beside: "Ke’er, why aren’t you speaking? Do you like this book?"

Ke’er’s eyes were fixed on the book, completely engrossed, with excitement gleaming in his eyes.

At her words, he looked up at Su Pan’er, hesitantly nodding and shaking his head: "Ke’er likes the book, but he can’t read. I just think that the characters written by fourth brother-in-law are very nice, very beautiful!"

"Oh, really? I didn’t expect that our Ke’er could also flatter people."

"I’m not lying! The characters written by fourth brother-in-law are truly very beautiful!" Ke’er insisted.

Qin Yi at the side rolled up his sleeves, looking unperturbed: "Ke’er, don’t argue with your fourth sister. She just can’t stand people being praised."

"Really that good? Then, I must take a good look myself."

Su Pan’er neither agreed nor disagreed, she stepped forward and casually picked up Qin Yi’s handwritten copy to look at.

The calligraphy was steady and calm, each character strict and beautiful, with a wide and unrestrained style. Su Pan’er became captivated. Originally, she wanted to say a few words, but they all stuck in her throat, leaving her speechless.

She couldn’t resist touching the undried running-script characters with her finger, a glint flashing quickly in her eyes.

It was unexpected. He actually writes very beautifully!

Qin Yi couldn’t help but lift his head and puff out his chest, crossly folding hands behind his back, looking at Su Pan’er smugly.

"What do you think? My handwriting isn’t bad, is it?"

"Indeed, it’s very good! You can tell that you’ve practiced this for at least ten years! Truly impressive, truly impressive!"

Su Pan’er was deeply moved.

She recalled her past life when she was very young, just starting to learn how to write with a brush. She was often ridiculed by her cousins and even the teaching elders kept shaking their heads at her. Then she met "him", and under "his" comfort and encouragement, she worked hard at practicing calligraphy. Only then, she earned the surprise of others such as her cousins and the elders...

Reminiscing about the past scenes, there was a hint of sweetness and bitterness at the corner of Su Pan’er’s mouth.

She was lost in thought.

Su Lao Si, who had finished digging the cellar and returned from behind the house, silently observed this scene, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Since when did Pan’er know how to read?

"Of course! I have been practicing since I was a child."

Qin Yi proudly said: "My mentor always used to say, ’you see a man in his handwriting’. If you can’t even write properly, how can you expect to be a good person? How can you expect to get on the golden list and become a good official? As you can see, how important it is to practice handwriting..."

He talked at length, but didn’t notice that Su Pan’er’s thoughts had already flown far away.

Only Su Ke, whose eyes were bright, listened attentively to Qin Yi’s words without blinking, memorizing them in his heart.

Mrs. Su-Hua did indeed cook the Steamed Fish and the Spicy Fish Head, adding in the water celery and mushrooms that Su Pan’er had brought back. A pinch of green salt was added to the steamed fish, along with a few drops of oil flower seed. The spicy fish head was not only spicy, but also full of the numbing flavor of the Sichuan pepper!

Su Pan’er put a chopstick of food into her mouth, and her eyes instantly transformed into two crescent moons.

"Good! Mom, your cooking skills are improving day by day! Dad, you are very lucky!"

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but give a thumbs up!
