Volume 4: School is about to start: Chapter 128: Getting straight to the point

"This is baby pose." Dong Yunshan adjusted his breathing and slowly stood up. "Relax your body by imitating the baby's pose."

"If you could wake up earlier, you could exercise with us." Yukinoshita Yukino followed Azuma Yunshan's rhythm, rising up little by little, panting slightly. "If you're physically healthy, your mind will be relatively normal, and you won't have any random thoughts."

"I woke up a long time ago." Yukinoshita Haruno raised her hand to support her cheek, a smile in her eyes, "I wanted to come out, but then I heard someone touching her up and down outside... I didn't want to embarrass you, so I didn't come out."

Then why did you say it out loud... Dong Yunshan explained: "I was teaching Yukinoshita the posture, I didn't really touch her."

"You scared me~" Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly realized, "I was wondering why on the balcony..."

"Make breakfast." Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted her sister, "Go take a shower after you're done."

After strenuous exercise, you need to wait until your body temperature and heart rate return to normal before taking a shower to avoid putting too much strain on your heart.

"Let's start with dashi first." Yukinoshita Haruno's nostrils flared. "That's too slow. Dongyun, let me teach you two of my signature dishes."

"Laying a solid foundation is the key to future advancement." Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, "Besides, this is my business, sister, please don't interfere."

"Hey~ What's the matter?" Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino's cold expression, Yukinoshita Haruno waved her hands helplessly, "Then I'll go buy some groceries. It's just right..."

"Sister only buys what she likes to eat." Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted, "So that's not possible."

Yukinoshita Haruno showed a pitiful expression: "Why is it not working..."

"We should let him get familiar with different ingredients according to his learning progress." Yukinoshita Yukino remained unmoved. "Sister, please don't interfere with my teaching."

Yukinoshita Haruno put away her aggrieved expression and looked a little ugly.

"Actually, there's no need to be like that..." Before Azuma Yunshan could finish his words, Yukinoshita Yukino glared at him.

Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head helplessly: "Then I'll clean up the kitchen."

"Cleaning up is also an essential part of the cooking process, and he must do it himself." Yukinoshita Yukino flatly refused.

Dong Yunshan: "Actually..."

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him: "Don't try to be lazy."

"That's what you said." Yukinoshita Haruno's smile suddenly brightened, "Then I won't care about anything else and just eat~"

After pouring herself a cup of black tea, Yukinoshita Haruno happily sat on the sofa.

Yukinoshita Yukino clenched her fists: "...Gu."

Make an unwilling sound.

Dong Yunshan sighed helplessly. He tried his best, but he couldn't stop it.

Yukinoshita Yukino is terribly stubborn when facing her sister.

"So," Dong Yunshan wisely changed the subject, "what do you do in the morning?"

Yukinoshita Yukino had obviously prepared: "Miso soup, steamed chawanmushi, teriyaki chicken breast roll, tamagoyaki, okra with plums, and steamed pumpkin in broth."

"so much?"

"For miso soup, use the first dashi, for chawanmushi, use the second dashi. For teriyaki chicken breast rolls, master the sauce preparation and the sweet-salty balance. For chawanmushi and tamagoyaki, learn how to control the heat. For plum-mixed okra, design different processing depths for the ingredients. For dashi-steamed pumpkin, learn knife skills and tool usage." Yukinoshita Yukino finished in one breath. Just as her breathing had calmed down a little, it began to quicken again. "Any other questions?"

"That's all." Azuma Yunshan felt that Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be about to explode.

It's still the same method. Yukinoshita Yukino does it, and Azuma Yunshan follows and learns as much as they can. After the end, they summarize the experience and lessons.

Starting to make breakfast, Yukinoshita Yukino quickly discovered the strengths of Azuma Yunshan.

When it comes to food preparation, especially those requiring knife skills, Dong Yunshan learns very quickly.

It seems that the plan for subsequent knife training needs to be adjusted appropriately.

"You watch the fire." When all the dishes were almost done, Yukinoshita Yukino said, "I'm going to take a shower."

As soon as Yukinoshita Yukino entered the bathroom, Yukinoshita Haruno came to the kitchen island and said, "I'll watch the fire for you. You can go take a shower too."

Dong Yunshan: "Wait until she comes out."

Yukinoshita Haruno leaned forward slightly, shifting her center of gravity onto the island counter. Her fair legs swayed freely, and her smiling face was full of encouragement: "If she doesn't come out, it won't stop you from going in."

Dong Yunshan was very tired. He hadn't even mastered cooking yet, and now he had to learn how to take care of Yukinoshita Yukino's sister: "That won't work. I'm worried about leaving you outside."

"Will you feel relieved if I go in?"

"She's worried about you going in."

"Then~~~" Yukinoshita Haruno stretched out her voice, "Only the two of us can go in together."

Dong Yunshan took out the refrigerated okra and mixed it with the remaining sauce: "In that case, it will be your turn to be worried."

"Pfft!" Yukinoshita Haruno chuckled. "I'm going in with you, what else are you worried about?"

"Because it's just talk now." Dong Yunshan took a bite and felt it was a bit salty. "If you really go in, it means that the development of the situation is beyond your control."

Yukinoshita Haruno propped her cheek up and looked him up and down unscrupulously: "Are you just talking?"

Dong Yunshan: “I prefer to do it.”

"In the adult world, saying good things is as important as doing good things." Yukinoshita Haruno said with a hint of meaning, "If you don't say it, people will think you can't do it."

"..." Azuma Yunshan put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Yukinoshita Haruno. "A county councilor who transitioned from business to politics has very limited influence. Without deep connections, they can only leverage the power of their company. There are three things you need to win elections: territory, brand, and cover. As a construction company, the employees and families of its subsidiaries and third-party material suppliers are a stable vote bank. As long as the company operates normally, there's no need to worry about the local support base (territory) or the ability to mobilize election funds and resources (cover). What remains is to cultivate the candidate's reputation and image (brand)."

"Ah~" Yukinoshita Haruno narrowed her eyes slightly, "I didn't expect you to know so much about this."

"The next step is the key point." Dong Yunshan's lips curled up slightly. "As the eldest daughter, you need to inherit the family business. The territory belongs to the family, the money belongs to the family, and all you need to do is to manage your image. But the image you work hard to create may not be useful. The person who actually participates in the election is most likely the son-in-law and adopted son of the Yukinoshita family. And you can only use the false and perfect image you cultivated in the first half of your life as a housewife to train the next successor, repeating the way your mother spent the second half of her life."

Volume 4: School is about to start: Chapter 129: Smile Transfer

The system of adopting a son as a son-in-law is a unique traditional family system.

It refers to a man being adopted by the woman's family through marriage, becoming a legal adopted son, and inheriting the family business.

Usually, the surname needs to be changed to the woman's family surname, and the responsibility of continuing the family name and managing the family business is assumed to solve the problem of no male heirs and ensure the continuation of the family bloodline.

A son-in-law must first marry the woman and then be formally adopted. Compared with marrying into the woman's family, it emphasizes the legal adoption relationship and is often deeply tied to the family business. The inheritance rights are the same as those of biological children, and they can take over the family business and property.

It is generally used when the woman's family has no male heirs, or the male heir is unable to manage the family business. The woman's family will take the initiative to choose a capable son-in-law and give him the status of heir through adoption.

For the family, this is a mature and effective traditional system.

But for me personally...

The smile on Yukinoshita Haruno's face gradually disappeared, as if something was peeling off from her, revealing an even more chaotic and cold...

smile.

Just before she was about to transform into another appearance, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly laughed: "That's too much... You're actually laughing so happily."

"Really?" Dong Yunshan rubbed his face. "Well... I can't help it. But this is good news for you."

"I don't know how being laughed at by you can be considered good news..." Yukinoshita Haruno grumbled in dissatisfaction, "You're just gloating."

"The timing is perfect." Azuma Yunshan saw Yukinoshita Yukino walk out of the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower. We'll talk later."

"That sounds familiar..." Yukinoshita Haruno stared at Azuma Yunshan's back, her eyes cold and almost gloomy.

Yukinoshita Yukino was wearing a bathrobe and drying her hair with her head tilted. Seeing Azuma Yunshan coming in, she asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"A..." Azuma Yunshan's eyes fell on Yukinoshita Yukino, "a new commission."

Yukinoshita Yukino, who had just finished a bath, was no longer as cold as usual. Her fair cheeks were slightly red, and she was emitting heat in a physical sense. She was scented with shower gel, and her watery eyes blinked blankly: "She entrusted you with this?"

"Not yet." Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, "There should be in the future."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Azuma Yunshan's back suspiciously and watched him enter the bathroom.

Then......

"Ah!" A scream like Tom Cat came from the bathroom.

Yukinoshita Yukino banged on the bathroom door: "Are you okay?"

"I was just about to ask you, are you okay?" Dong Yunshan hissed inside, "Did you just take a shower at this temperature?"

"what happened?"

"I staggered after being burned." Dong Yunshan sighed several times, "I thought you were going to eat me at noon, and you started shedding your hair straight away."

"Everyone's bath temperature is different. You should test it before turning on the water." Yukinoshita Yukino paused, "I'll get you some medicine."

"I didn't expect it to be so different." Dong Yunshan turned on the water and adjusted the temperature. "It's not necessary to use medicine, it's just a shock."

“…That’s good.” Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the hair dryer to blow her hair, and could faintly hear the sound of Azuma Yunshan taking a shower.

Yukinoshita Haruno was drinking black tea while watching this scene. When Yukinoshita Yukino walked in after drying her hair, she chuckled softly, "I knew you had just finished exercising. If I didn't know, I would have thought you were getting ready to exercise."

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at her and said, "Then don't pretend you don't know."

Yukinoshita Haruno stretched out her voice: "It would be boring if I knew everything~"

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes fell on her sister's face, "You...you provoked him?"

"This isn't right!" Yukinoshita Haruno said angrily, "I haven't even complained to you yet, why are you questioning me first?"

Yukinoshita Yukino checked the progress of the cooking and replied without looking up, "He won't take the initiative to provoke conflict unless he is provoked, such as by someone questioning his ability - what about you?"

"Biased~" Yukinoshita Haruno accused, "Didn't you see how gloating he looked just now?"

"Gloating over someone else's misfortune?" Yukinoshita Yukino raised her eyes. "At you?"

"That's right." Yukinoshita Haruno glanced in the direction of the bathroom, "You don't even try to hide it."

Yukinoshita Yukino stared at her sister: "He likes to see other people's miserable lives."

Yukinoshita Haruno: "...Bad."

"But he only laughs unabashedly when he has a way to solve the other person's problem." Yukinoshita Yukino's lips curled up slightly. "You tested him with words, wanting to understand him a little better, expressing your doubt and denial of him, so he fought back without any hesitation, and then... discovered your problem?"

Yukinoshita Haruno took a sip of her tea and said, "That sounds like something you learned from experience."

The smile on Yukinoshita Yukino's face froze.

Yukinoshita Haruno fiddled with the distinction: "Your smile is very similar to his. Is this what a married couple look like? Or is it that the husband sings and the wife follows?"

The smile on Yukinoshita Yukino's face disappeared.

wrong.

It was transferred to Yukinoshita Haruno's face.

"You've come to this conclusion through your understanding of him." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled brightly. "Regardless of whether your conclusion is correct or not, the fact that you've come to this conclusion means you've already assumed he can spot problems you can't, and that he's confident he can solve them—even though you've spent more time with me."

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes were cold and almost vicious.

"You can rely on him a little more." Yukinoshita Haruno put down her teacup and walked over to her sister. "If he can beat me, it will be considered your win."

Yukinoshita Yukino tightly gripped the spoon and tried to control her breathing.

"By the way, the plum sauce is a bit salty. You can add honey and juice to dilute it." Yukinoshita Haruno lowered her voice. "I deliberately didn't tell him just now. You can tell him so that you can show off your teacher's ability."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Azuma Yunshan who walked out of the bathroom and pursed her lips.

"Hmm?" Azuma Yunshan noticed something unusual about Yukinoshita Yukino's expression. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head slightly, "This plum salad with okra..."

"Oh, right, I was just about to tell you." Azuma Yunshan suddenly realized that it was Yukinoshita Yukino who was dissatisfied with the taste. "The plum sauce seems a bit salty. I just thought while taking a shower, could it be diluted with juice?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes flickered slightly: "How did you come up with that?"

"You taught me that, releasing the juice is the basis." Dong Yunshan thought of another problem, "But if it's like this, the sweetness won't be enough. Should we add some sugar?"

"Honey." Yukinoshita Yukino replied softly, "You can also add honey."

Volume 4 is about to start: Chapter 130 uses the first edition

Yukinoshita Haruno's advice was correct.

But if Yukinoshita Yukino reminds Azuma Yunshan in the same way as her sister did, it would be a denial of her own teaching method.

Of course, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't want to deny her own teaching methods.

But it is also difficult to insist that you are right.

Especially when facing Yukinoshita Haruno.
