Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Lin Xiaoxiao: "You can't tell me this?"

Lin Shuxue blushed: "Oh dear, it's just that I recently met someone and we've gotten a little closer."

Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "You have someone you like?"

Lin Shuxue hesitated for a moment, then said, "I guess so."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Who is it?"

Even if she knows who it is, she still has to pretend she doesn't.

Lin Shuxue gritted her teeth: "If I tell you, don't tell anyone else."

Lin Xiaoxiao assured, "I definitely won't tell, don't worry."

Lin Shuxue: "He was an educated youth in the educated youth compound. His name was Han Yi."

Lin Xiaoxiao feigned surprise: "Educated youth? They're city people, you know. Have you thought it through?"

Lin Shuxue nodded: "Yes, I believe he is a good person."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "As long as you know what you're doing, I agree with you."

Anyway, you two are the male and female leads, destined to be together, so Lin Xiaoxiao isn't worried at all.

Lin Shuxue was touched: "Thank you, Xiaoxiao. I know it won't be easy for my parents to agree to this."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "They were also worried that you would be abandoned, after all, they were educated youth from the city and would have to go back sooner or later."

Lin Shuxue: "I understand, but we're not together yet. We'll talk about the future later."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Yes, whatever decision you make, I will support you."

Lin Shuxue: "Xiaoxiao, you will always be my best friend."

Lin Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "You too."

The two linked arms and continued chatting with smiles. Then Lin Shuxue had to go about her business and left first.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, Lin Xiaoxiao's family went to her uncle's house for lunch to have lunch with her grandparents. In the evening, they returned home and prepared a meal together to celebrate the New Year.

After the Spring Festival, we started visiting relatives. On the day we went to my maternal grandmother's house, the whole family packed up early and headed to Lijia Village.

On the way, Li Xiuqin said, "Xiaoxiao, we'll pass by that house on our way to your grandma's house."

Lin Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "Okay, Mom."

Lin Youliang: "Children's affairs also depend on fate."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, agreeing that it really depends on fate and whether you click with someone.

Li Xiuqin: "I know, but we'll only know after we see it. Wenyuan also found someone by consulting with a fortune teller."

Lin Wenyuan: "I'll take some things to Dingxiang's house later."

Li Xiuqin nodded: "It's only right that we go."

Li Dingxiang is the wife that Lin Xiaoxiao's brother has chosen. She is also from Lijia Village. The two will hold their wedding banquet in half a month.

Upon entering Lijia Village, one finds that every household is bustling with visitors from relatives and friends.

They walked towards their grandmother's house, and as they passed one of the houses, Li Xiuqin tugged at Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeve.

"It's this family."

Upon hearing this, the other three all looked over.

There seemed to be guests inside. After watching them for a while, they prepared to leave, and then someone came out.

"Xiuqin, I saw your family at the door from inside. Why don't you come in and sit down?"

The person who came was the mother of Li Qingyue, the one who was betrothed to Lin Xiaoxiao as a child, as mentioned by Li Xiuqin.

Aunt Li was also from Lijia Village. Her real name was Li Rong. She married Li Dashan, a man from the same village, and they had three children.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at this aunt who was not tall, had a round face, and a kind demeanor.

Li Xiuqin: "No, we're going back to my parents' home today, and we just happen to be passing by your place."

Aunt Li saw Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Come visit us again another time. This must be Xiaoxiao. You've grown so much. You're so beautiful."

Lin Xiaoxiao called out, "Aunt Li."

Hearing this, Aunt Li smiled even more warmly: "Oh, come visit me sometime!"

Lin Xiaoxiao politely agreed, and Aunt Li turned around and called out loudly into the house, "Li Qingyue, come out."

The others were a little curious, so they stood there a little longer.

A while later, a young man came out of the house. From a distance, he appeared to be of average height. Upon closer inspection, he was handsome and refined, meeting the required standards of appearance.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt that the person looked familiar. Wasn't this the person she met at the state-run restaurant in the county town that day?

When Li Qingyue came out and saw the group, the first person he noticed was Lin Xiaoxiao.

Aunt Li pulled him over: "This is your Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin's family."

Then, he specifically introduced Lin Xiaoxiao: "This is their daughter, named Xiaoxiao. You met her when you were little."

Li Qingyue first politely greeted all the elders, then looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Yes, I didn't expect you to be from Lijia Village."

Li Xiuqin sensed something was amiss: "Have you met before?"

Li Qingyue: "I ran into him when we were eating in the county town last time."

Aunt Li immediately chuckled and said, "Then you and Xiaoxiao are quite destined for each other."

Li Qingyue knew what his mother was thinking and felt a little helpless, but since the person was Lin Xiaoxiao, he didn't feel disgusted.

Lin Wenyuan reminded us, "We still need to go to Grandma's house."

Lin Youliang: "Yes, then we'll be going now."

Aunt Li: "Okay, come visit us at home sometime."

Li Xiuqin: "No problem."

Aunt Li: "Xiuqin, I'll come talk to you then."

Li Xiuqin knew she wanted to ask about this: "Okay, come on over."

After exchanging pleasantries, the group continued walking forward under the watchful eyes of the Li family mother and son.

Aunt Li: "How about it? You and Xiaoxiao talked about being betrothed when you were little."

Li Qingyue: "Mom, I need people to like me too."

Aunt Li: "If you like it, then there's no problem. I'll ask around for you later."

Li Qingyue thought of Lin Xiaoxiao: "Yes, thank you, Mom."

Aunt Li: "Don't thank me, Mom just hopes you'll find a wife soon."

Li Qingyue: "Then I'll trouble Mom to take care of this."

Aunt Li: "Okay, if Xiaoxiao doesn't have any objections, you should help her with chores when you have time, and take her to see a movie or something, otherwise you won't be able to find a wife."

Li Qingyue said helplessly, "I understand, Mom."

Lin Xiaoxiao's maternal grandmother had four children: two sons and two daughters.

Li Xiuqin was the youngest daughter, and she married into Linjia Village.

Both of her daughters married into other villages, and her maternal grandmother's family was generally easy to get along with.

The maternal grandparents also cared deeply for these children.

The family had dinner at the maternal grandmother's house, stayed overnight, and went home the next day.

Back home, during a casual chat, Li Xiuqin asked Lin Xiaoxiao, "What do you think of that Li Qingyue? Do you like him?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "We've only met twice, how could I like him? But he is good-looking."

Lin Wenyuan: "Being good-looking is one thing, but being a good person is another."

Lin Youliang nodded: "The job is not bad, it seems okay for now, the main thing is Xiaoxiao."

Li Xiuqin asked her, "Why don't you try to get to know people?"

Lin Xiaoxiao thought of Li Qingyue, who was satisfactory in all aspects and whose conditions were a good match for her.

"Okay, as long as he's willing to give it a try."

Li Xiuqin said with a smile, "Then next time they come to me, I'll tell them what you mean."
