Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

Sister-in-law Xie was somewhat resentful that she couldn't get a result from Xie Qingyu about how much money she had.

However, there was nothing she could say.

The Xie family did not split up; their income mainly came from work points earned collectively.

Unlike other mothers-in-law who hoard all the money, her mother-in-law would leave some money for the married women every quarter when it was time to distribute the grain.

She can spend this money as she pleases; she wouldn't even care if some went to her family.

If you marry into another family, don't even think about touching a single penny.

So Sister-in-law Xie thought this was pretty good.

For couples like Xie Xixing and Xie Qingyu who aren't married, the amount given is less. Now that they're giving her some more money to buy things, she can't really say anything.

Xie Qingyu took the money and tickets, and the next day she had Xie Xixing take her to town.

Their village is not close to the town; it takes more than an hour to get there by bicycle.

If you usually ride in the brigade's donkey cart, it's even slower.

Even so, many people still couldn't bear to spend a penny on a donkey cart ride and chose to walk to town.

However, since Secretary Xie's family has bicycles, it's much more convenient for them to go to town.

Xie Xixing changed his clothes and didn't look as unkempt as usual.

They were born of the same mother, and Xie Xixing was also good-looking.

The two siblings would always get glances at by people when they walked down the street.

Upon arriving in town, Xie Xixing took Xie Qingyu to the town's office and parked their bicycles in the courtyard.

Xie Xixing often accompanied Secretary Xie on business trips to the city, and everyone in the compound knew him.

They exchanged a few pleasantries when he came to park his bicycle, but their eyes were all on Xie Qingyu.

Xie Xixing proudly introduced his younger sister's identity, listening to them praise Xie Qingyu for being beautiful and growing into a young woman.

After leaving the courtyard, Xie Xixing spoke, "Dad sometimes comes here for meetings. Even if the people here don't know you, they'll recognize our car. If you need to park your car in the future, just ride it here."

"I don't know how to ride my bike to town by myself," Xie Qingyu said casually.

Although there is a bicycle at home, and even Xie Ersao has learned how to ride it, Xie Qingyu has not yet learned.

"Can't you learn from this?" Xie Xixing sighed.

If someone has a car, they'd love to ride it out and show it off.

His sister isn't the type to shy away from showing off, but there's only one reason she couldn't ride out and show off—she hadn't learned how to ride a bike.

This is not Xie Qingyu's fault.

At that time, all the cars were old-fashioned bicycles.

That's indeed a bit too high for Xie Qingyu.

But she felt it was too ugly to ride over from the side like Xie Ersao.

So much so that I still haven't learned it.

"I don't need to learn, you're all I need." Xie Qingyu's gaze was already drawn to the supply and marketing cooperative, and she spoke nonchalantly.

"You're using me as a driver?" Xie Xixing said unhappily.

"Who told you to be my brother?" Xie Qingyu wasn't afraid of him at all.

"Don't go to the supply and marketing cooperative yet." Xie Xixing grabbed Xie Qingyu's braid, stopping her from walking faster and faster.

"What are you doing?" Xie Qingyu pulled her braid back and patted Xie Xixing's hand.

"Let's go to the meat processing plant and buy some meat first." Xie Xixing led Xie Qingyu in another direction.

Fortunately, the meat processing plant is nearby.

They set off early in the morning, just as dawn broke, and arrived relatively early, but there was already a long queue for meat.

It's not easy to get a bite of meat at this time.

Xie Qingyu had only been here for two days, and the food at Secretary Xie's house was already considered good. At least the steamed buns contained mostly wheat flour, and the dishes had a little oil, but it was still too little.

It makes you want to eat meat.

Seeing Xie Xixing queuing up to buy meat, she felt a little hopeful as she stood aside and watched.

The line to buy meat was very long, and people weren't very polite at this time of year, so the line was a bit crowded. Xie Xixing told her to wait on the side.

When it was Xie Xixing's turn, Xie Qingyu watched him weigh two pieces of meat, but for some reason, she took one back.

When Xie Xixing came out, Xie Qingyu immediately asked him.

"Aren't there enough tickets? Why were they put back?" Xie Qingyu wondered if it wasn't a matter of not having enough money.

"That's enough. We'll eat that piece and get more when we come back. We'll take this one to Auntie's," Xie Xixing said.

When Xie Xixing and Xie Qingyu returned to the supply and marketing cooperative, there weren't as many people left.

When Xie Qingyu came in, she looked curiously at the accounting slips on the clips flying around on the wire above her head, wondering how they managed to do it.

However, these things, which are very characteristic of that era, seem quite novel to people.

Seeing her like this, Xie Xixing didn't say anything, but pulled her by the hem of her clothes and led her to the fabric stall.

There are fewer people here now.

Those with poor cloth coupons would usually save them up to exchange for a few yards of cloth or ready-made clothes, so there weren't many crowded customers.

The older woman on duty's eyes lit up the moment she saw Xie Xixing and Xie Qingyu approaching.

"Guimei, your nephew and niece are here."

Wang Guimei, who was busy at work, looked up and saw that it was indeed true.

"Can you watch it for me for a while?" Wang Guimei said as she walked out.

"Do not worry."

The people at this counter, or rather, the few people in the supply and marketing cooperative, almost all knew Xie Xixing because he was good-looking and had a sweet tongue.

They also frequently brought things to Wang Guimei.

If he weren't from the countryside, many people would want to introduce him to potential partners.

"Aunt."

"Auntie!" Xie Qingyu stepped forward and gave Wang Guimei a hug first.

"Oh my, you've finally decided to go out." Wang Guimei patted Xie Qingyu on the back.

"I just missed Auntie, so of course I had to come out and see you," Xie Qingyu said, using the same approach she used to coax Wang Guifen.

It's safe to say that these two sisters are both very susceptible to this kind of thing.

"Auntie, this is meat that Mom asked me to bring for you. Take it over later and remember to bring it back tonight," Xie Xixing said, standing to the side.

"Why are you giving this to me? No, take it back and give it to Nan Nan."

"Auntie, please accept it. Your sister-in-law gave birth to a grandson for you. Take it back and give her some extra food."

Wang Guimei took Xie Qingyu's words to heart.

Her young wife's milk dried up just three months after giving birth, which is exactly when she needs to replenish it.

Even though she worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was difficult for her to get meat coupons.

"Okay, then I'll stay. I'll have your sister-in-law thank you later."

"Why thank me? I'm only nice to her because you're my aunt." Xie Qingyu shook Wang Guimei's arm.

"Alright, don't keep your aunt from working. Let's go buy some candy," Xie Xixing said.

"Did you bring your ticket?" Upon hearing this, Wang Guimei immediately reached into her pocket.

"I brought it, I brought it." Xie Qingyu quickly pressed her arm down. "My mother brought it for me."

“Okay.” Wang Guimei didn’t try to pull her away.

"Oh, right." She leaned closer to Xie Xixing, "There's some slightly flawed fabric in the warehouse. I managed to snag a few feet. It's a lovely pale yellow, but the edges are a bit frayed. Come over here after you've finished shopping, and you can take it back and have your mother make a dress for Nannan."
