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

Han Yi looked at Lin Shuxue with gentle eyes and nodded.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at them and asked curiously, "What's going on with you all now?"

Lin Shuxue said shyly, "Yes, we're dating."

Han Yi nodded with a smile.

Lin Xiaoxiao: Congratulations.

Lin Shuxue winked at her: "Thank you, Xiaoxiao. You should hurry up too."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Yes, I will."

Lin Shuxue approached her and asked in a low voice, "How did your matchmaking go?"

Lin Xiaoxiao had told Lin Shuxue about this before the new year, but she only had time to ask about it now.

Lin Xiaoxiao: "It's going well, we're trying to get along."

Lin Shuxue immediately smiled and said, "It seems like it will be soon. Congratulations to you too."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Okay, where are you going?"

Lin Shuxue: "No, Han Yi just saw me out."

Lin Xiaoxiao understood: "So, are you going back now or not?"

Lin Shuxue thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and stay for a while, and then I'll come to the office to find you this afternoon."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Okay, then I'll go back first."

Lin Shuxue said goodbye to her. Lin Xiaoxiao also came out for a walk to digest her food at noon today, since the weather was still a bit chilly and it wasn't comfortable to take a nap.

In the following months, Li Qingyue would visit Lin Xiaoxiao whenever he had time, and the two had already set a wedding date for next spring.

Lin Xiaoxiao came to the county town today. She carried a basket on her back and disguised herself as a middle-aged man before heading to the place she had inquired about beforehand.

Walking into a secluded alley, she saw two men standing there. When they saw Lin Xiaoxiao coming, they spoke warily.

"What are you doing!"

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her voice: "When will the moon be bright?"

They looked at each other, and one of them said, "Look up and see for yourself."

Another person spoke up: "The toll is two cents."

Lin Xiaoxiao took out two cents and gave it to him, and they immediately let her in.

She walked into the alley, into a place that resembled a market, with passageways in several directions, making it easy to escape quickly if someone tried to catch her.

There are many people setting up stalls in the alley, placing their goods on the ground with mats, and clearly displaying the prices on signs next to them.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced around and then found a spot.

Take out a cardboard box and a pen from the basket and write down that you will be supplying premium rice, meat, and fresh fruit.

Then she just sat there quietly. Many people glanced at her and left, but she wasn't in a hurry. She wasn't waiting for anyone to buy anything.

If you don't have connections, just keep trying; you'll eventually find someone.

She waited for a long time before someone passed by, saw her cardboard sign, and stopped.

How much stock do you have?

Lin Xiaoxiao: "How many do you want?"

"Do you have 100 jin each?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: Yes.

"I'm sure they're all high-quality goods, I want to inspect them first."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "No problem."

The transaction went smoothly. Lin Xiaoxiao found a place to put the goods and then exchanged money for goods with the other party.

They even arranged a next transaction, which Lin Xiaoxiao naturally agreed to.

Over the course of several months, Lin Xiaoxiao would trade twice a month to make some quick money.

She took out things she had bought in the previous world, things she had grown and raised in her own space. She wouldn't sell them, since they all had spiritual energy.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked Li Qingyue for two days off today, planning to go to the city.

The two men each obtained letters of introduction and supporting documents from the village chief.

Lin Xiaoxiao has earned some money recently, a thousand yuan, which is just enough for her to go to the city for a stroll.

After all, workers in county towns only earn a few dozen yuan a month, while those in higher positions might earn around a hundred.

A thousand yuan is the income of an average worker for one or two years.

Li Qingyue took a special leave of absence to take her shopping.

She also happened to be buying some dowry for herself, and Li Xiuqin gave her money to buy what she liked.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want her family's money, but she couldn't explain away her own money, so she could only take care of her family in the future.

Li Qingyue: "We first took an oxcart to the county town, and then took a train."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "We'll have to stay there for one night."

Li Qingyue: "Hmm, one day isn't enough for a round trip."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Okay, let's go then."

Li Qingyue: "There will be a lot of people at the train station, so you must stay close to me."

Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "You can just hold my hand."

Li Qingyue held her hand and replied with a smile, "Yes, I'll definitely hold you tight then."

They first took an oxcart to the county town, and then went to the train station to buy tickets, which took several hours to travel by train to the city.

This was Lin Xiaoxiao's first time riding this kind of old-fashioned green train. The air inside didn't smell very good, and there were quite a lot of people.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat by the window, and Li Qingyue sat next to her, their arms almost touching.

After several hours, everyone was a bit tired. When they finally arrived at their destination, Li Qingyue pulled Lin Xiaoxiao out, where it was crowded with people.

Outside the train station, as far as the eye can see, there are densely packed people.

Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "There are just too many people."

Li Qingyue nodded: "There are indeed a lot of people taking the train. Let's find a place to eat first."

It was now noon, and both of them were a little hungry.

Lin Xiaoxiao: Okay, it's good that we didn't have any luggage when we came, otherwise it would have been more troublesome. We'll have luggage when we go back.

Li Qingyue: "Yes, you can send the large items back, but keep the small items with you."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "You'll have to keep a close eye on things then, it's easy to lose things at the train station."

Li Qingyue: "I'll keep an eye on it."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and followed him out of the train station. The provincial capital in the 1970s was indeed much more prosperous than the county town.

There are many people riding bicycles, and buses and cars can be seen everywhere on the streets.

The two found a state-run restaurant and each ordered a bowl of noodles.

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Prices are also higher in the city center."

Li Qingyue: "Yes, the ingredients here are probably more expensive, so prices will rise accordingly."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Have you been here before?"

Li Qingyue: "No, after graduating from high school, I went to work in a factory."

Lin Xiaoxiao thought about the college entrance exam: "If you had the chance, would you take the college entrance exam?"

Li Qingyue looked at her in confusion: "Why would you ask that?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "I'm curious about your thoughts."

Li Qingyue thought for a moment and said, "Yes, getting into university was my goal when I was studying."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "That's what I think too."

Li Qingyue sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that the college entrance examination has been suspended."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Maybe I'll recover someday. I still take the books out to read sometimes."

Li Qingyue exclaimed in surprise, "What a coincidence! I also habitually take it out to look at when I have free time at home."

Lin Xiaoxiao praised, "That's a good habit of yours."

It's always better to wait until the news comes out than to scramble at the last minute.

Li Qingyue said with a smile, "When I'm not working, I just pass the time by recalling what I've learned."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Your grades were pretty good when you were in school, right?"
