Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 681 - 680: You... have quite the survival skills

During the college entrance exams, the whole world makes way for the students.

After the exams, everyone starts settling scores with those who’ve finished testing.

"Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, what time is it and you’re still asleep? Hurry up, get up and cook!"

"Come here, did you just step on the threshold? How old are you and still don’t know... You didn’t step on it? Are you saying I’m blind?"

"Still want to act like a big shot after finishing your exams? Off to work with you! Every day without showing any trace of being a responsible elder brother..."

Amidst the intermittent concertos of child-beating, Wen Lan excitedly ran into Lin Nianhe’s little room.

"Hezi, let’s go, Wu Genmao and the others are going to catch fish!"

"I’m not going, not leaving the house. I’m going into seclusion."

Lin Nianhe was neatly dressed, huddled beside the kang table holding a book.

It seemed like she had been tidying up, and there was a small box on the study desk.

However, Wen Lan didn’t notice the box and just looked at her puzzled: "What are you doing? Aren’t the exams all finished?"

Lin Nianhe shook her head like a rattle-drum: "I know, but I don’t want to go... I’m working on the design drawing for another machine, so don’t disturb me, and also tell everyone else not to come looking for me."

Wen Lan was completely baffled but respected Lin Nianhe’s decision and left.

After leaving, she first passed the message to Wang Shumei, with additional concern: "Shumei, do you think Hezi has gone crazy from studying too much? Should we take her to the health clinic?"

Sister Shumei sneered: "She has only one reason for not leaving the house—fear of getting beaten!"

Before the exams, how arrogant was Comrade Xiao Lin, with a teaching stick in hand, there was nobody in the review class she feared to hit.

And now?

Clearly, it was time for payback after the autumn harvest.

At this moment, everyone still hadn’t reacted, and they also had to busy themselves with getting beaten.

Just wait another half a day...

Wen Lan suddenly slapped her thigh and turned to run back: "Oh damn, I forgot I was supposed to thrash this silly girl!"

But just within the time it took to run a lap, when Wen Lan came back to Lin Nianhe’s room’s doorstep, it was already guarded by an ’iron sentinel’.

"Lin! Nian! He!"

The sky above Ten Miles Team echoed with Sister Lan’s furious roar, lingering for a long time.

"Ah Qiu—"

On Su Yuncheng’s jeep, Lin Nianhe sneezed fiercely.

"Caught a cold?" Su Yuncheng subconsciously slowed down the car.

"No, no, no! Hurry up! I think I heard the sound of Sister Lan drawing her knife!"

Not until the car left Lan County did Lin Nianhe finally breathe a sigh of relief, slumping onto the passenger seat, lamenting, "If it weren’t for the celebration party last night taking up too much time, I would’ve left earlier."

The corner of Su Yuncheng’s mouth held a smile as he asked her, "Not coming back until the results are out?"

Lin Nianhe sat upright, said seriously, "Whether I return or not has nothing to do with the results, I have serious matters to attend to!"

Su Yuncheng: "Hmm, I know."

"You seem not to believe me."

"I believe whatever you say."

"Really?"

"Really."

Lin Nianhe: "Actually, I come from a hundred years in the future."

Su Yuncheng: "..."

It has been proven that sometimes even Su Yuncheng couldn’t convince himself to believe the truths Lin Nianhe stated.

But he still bit the bullet to console her: "Then... you’re very capable of making a living."

Lin Nianhe habitually touched the little red strings on her wrist, muttering lowly: "Life is unbearable now."

Lin Nianhe’s trip to the provincial city was not just to avoid a beating; more importantly, it was to have a discussion with Zheng Lirong.

Over the past two years, she and Zheng Lirong had a pleasant cooperation, profiting both parties.

Zheng Lirong never inquired where her goods came from, nor did Lin Nianhe interfere with her business development in the provincial city.

In two years, Lin Nianhe’s inventory in her space of exchangeable fruits like apples, pears, red dates, and meats had depleted by ninety percent, bringing Zheng Lirong huge profits and allowing her wealth to accumulate to an amount unimaginable to outsiders.

However, this harmonious cooperation was coming to an end.

"How did the exams go?"

Upon meeting, Zheng Lirong immediately inquired about the high-stakes examination.

She said, "I originally planned to take care of you, but the Team Leader told me not to worry about it, fearing my presence might make you tense instead."

Lin Nianhe nodded repeatedly: "That’s right, the aunties in the village have been making meals for us throughout our revision, serving us hand and foot. If you came, I’d instead be worrying about Shanshan."

Zheng Lirong, chuckling, took out a box and handed it to her. Glancing northwards, she whispered, "I exchanged this with a son of a capitalist two days ago. He said it’s a family heirloom. I thought it might be just what you need."

Lin Nianhe opened the box; it was a fountain pen with a black body and diamonds meticulously cut and inlaid in the cap.

Lin Nianhe recognized it at a glance as a style from a major pen brand at the beginning of the century.

She hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, this is too valuable."

Zheng Lirong laughed: "What’s valuable about it? One pig, two hundred kilograms of rice."

Lin Nianhe: "...?"

A pen that fetched seven figures at an auction in her future time only equaled the value of one pig and two hundred kilograms of rice now?

Lin Nianhe stared at the fountain pen, truly at a loss for words.

Zheng Lirong shoved the pen into her hand and said, "Girl, take it. You’re definitely going to get into college, and you’ll need a good pen... I don’t understand these things, anyway. It just looks better than the ones sold in the Cooperative Society, so you use it."

Lin Nianhe was a bit amused and helpless: "Sister Lirong, this pen will definitely be extremely valuable later on. You should keep it for Shanshan, let her use it when she’s grown up."

"She’s currently fancying tennis rackets, not interested in these things," Zheng Lirong said with a stern face, "If you don’t accept it, you’re looking down on me!"

Lin Nianhe couldn’t respond to that and had to accept it properly.

"Alright, I’ll keep it then. Thank you, Sister Lirong."

"That’s more like it. Why be so formal with me?"

Zheng Lirong smiled.

She sat down beside Lin Nianhe, saying, "Did you come here to tell me you can’t supply me with goods anymore?"

Lin Nianhe gently nodded, feeling a bit guilty: "Sorry, Sister Lirong. My supply only recognizes me personally. If I’m not here, I really can’t continue to supply you."

"I figured as much when I heard the news about the resumption of the high-stakes examination," said Zheng Lirong, undisturbed. She continued, "You don’t have to worry about me. These past two years I’ve made quite a bit of money, enough for me and my two kids to live without worries for the rest of our lives."

"Also, Laosi has found other sources. Although they’re not as good as yours, he’s managed to continue."

Zheng Lirong patted the back of Lin Nianhe’s hand and suddenly became serious: "Once you go to college, don’t mention you know me, just in case anything happens."

Lin Nianhe didn’t expect Zheng Lirong to say such things to her. She blinked, smiling.

She said, "Sister Lirong, what are you talking about? Want us to part forever, without any contact?"

Zheng Lirong remained serious, "It’s for your own good."

Lin Nianhe felt touched and patted her hand soothingly: "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing... But the reason I came this time is to discuss another opportunity to make money with you."

"What opportunity?"

"To make money, of course."
