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

He Shen lowered his head and did not participate in their discussion.

It wasn't something Xie Qingyu deliberately hid, but apart from He Shen, probably no one among the educated youth knew that her nickname was Nan Nan.

Even He Shen only found out today.

Previously, when Xie Xixing mentioned Xie Qingyu in front of him, he usually referred to her as "little sister".

He would only call Xie Qingyu by her nickname when she was in front of him.

Moreover, He Shen remembered that he had asked He Xixing before why they had missed one name when naming their children.

Xie Xixing simply said that his father thought the character "Nan" was good.

Houses are built facing south because they receive sunlight, so south also means sunlight.

So we didn't give them any.

At the time, He Shen didn't understand why he thought it was good but wouldn't use it for his own child.

It turns out they didn't give it to the brothers.

It's probably because they felt that 'southern journey' had a bad connotation, so Xie Qingyu's name wasn't used like her three older brothers', and the character 'Nan' was used as her nickname.

Xie Qingyu felt the gazes of those around her as she stood under the tree, but she was almost used to it.

They basically don't care about those stares.

"I bought some meat today, Mom, can you cook it when we get back?" Xie Qingyu said sweetly.

When Xie Ersao heard about meat, her eyes lit up.

What a day! It's neither a holiday nor a festival, and suddenly they bought meat.

Sister-in-law Xie was overjoyed.

Although I know that meat is expensive and wastes money.

But since she wasn't in charge of the household, she didn't worry about anything. She only cared about eating and never thought about what to do with the meat coupons when the autumn harvest came, which was when she needed to replenish her diet.

Clearly, Sister-in-law Xie immediately realized this, but she was only somewhat surprised and did not say anything.

"If I didn't give you a meat ticket, how did you buy it?" Wang Guifen was genuinely surprised.

Xie Qingyu didn't speak, but pointed at Xie Xixing.

"I found someone to exchange some of the items, and I happened to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see my aunt," Xie Xixing said without thinking.

Xie Xixing's words were cleverly put together, making it seem as if he had exchanged tickets with someone from Wang Guimei.

This isn't exactly lying; it's just a matter of reversing the order of the words.

"That's right, I was so busy I forgot you all went to your aunt's. Life isn't easy for her either, and I forgot to ask you to bring something over." Wang Guifen was really too busy to remember.

"I brought it," Xie Qingyu said. "I shared some of the meat with my aunt."

"That's good." Hearing this, Wang Guifen was also happy. She was naturally pleased that her child was willing to be close to her family.

"Then I'll go back early today and cook you all a nice meal," Wang Guifen said.

Upon hearing this, even Secretary Xie seemed noticeably relieved.

Even in their family, apart from the Chinese New Year when meat is distributed, they don't eat meat very often at other times.

If you're lucky, you might catch a pheasant or something on the mountain, but those mountains, except for the deep ones, have been explored by everyone long ago. You can only find a pheasant by sheer luck.

There were rabbits, but they had no fat on them and tasted dry and bland.

Real pork is still the best.

Wang Guifen is a good cook.

Especially compared to Xie Ersao's cooking yesterday, the difference is like night and day.

Xie Qingyu and Xie Xixing had eaten meat at the state-run restaurant at noon, so they both felt they should eat less at this time.

The meat that Wang Guifen put on Xie Qingyu's plate was all given to her three little nephews.

The three little ones were so engrossed in their meal that they barely spoke. When Xie Qingyu put food on their plates, they didn't even finish saying "Thank you, Auntie" before taking another bite.

After we finished eating, Secretary Xie shared some exciting news.

Someone will be showing a movie in a couple of days.

In the countryside, there are no facilities available. In previous years, movies would only be shown after the autumn harvest. This year, because of the ditch digging project, the town contacted a movie theater to come over.

"If you had told us earlier, we could have bought some snacks today," Xie Xixing complained first.

Young people, after all, are the ones who look forward to this kind of activity the most.

"Your Uncle Gangzi just told me this afternoon when he came back from town. How much earlier did you expect me to tell you?" Secretary Xie glared at Xie Xixing.

Xie Xixing wasn't afraid of his excuses at all, and directly brought up Xie Qingyu, "I'm just worried that my little sister will be bored and watch others eat, and what will we do if we don't have any?"

"I'll have my mother fry some soybeans for you to take with you," said Sister-in-law Xie.

Upon hearing her speak, Xie Ersao cursed her inwardly as a fool.

Her in-laws felt sorry for Xie Qingyu and told her to talk to them that they would definitely buy some so they could have some too.

What's the point of just eating soybeans?

Xie Qingyu was unaware that her second sister-in-law had such an idea. She said, "Then let's eat fried soybeans."

"I'll get you some pumpkin seeds later," Wang Guifen said.

She was figuring out what she could eat.

"What kind of movie are you showing?" Xie Xixing asked with concern.

"I don't know," Secretary Xie replied curtly.

Fortunately, Xie Xixing didn't mind; he'd find out when the time came.

Xie Qingyu was still planning to buy a bra and sanitary napkins.

She could tolerate some conditions, but these two were really hard to bear, even though they were things that could be resolved.

So she decided to talk to Wang Guifen directly.

Today, none of the members of the supply and marketing cooperative knew what the bra Xie Qingyu was talking about was. Xie Qingyu mentioned it to Wang Guifen, and she actually knew.

“What do I not know? Your maternal grandmother had a few of those before,” Wang Guifen said.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Qingyu's chest and thought for a moment, "It's not convenient these two days. After we finish the work on the ditch, I'll take you to the city."

"I can go by myself when the time comes." It's not an hour's drive to the city.

Xie Xixing said that it would take three or four hours to get there by bicycle.

Wang Guifen should bring her along then, so she doesn't get too tired.

"You can have your brother take you, and then have him wait outside." Wang Guifen was mainly worried that Xie Qingyu would feel embarrassed.

"Okay," Xie Qingyu replied.

Wang Guifen gave Xie Qingyu the cloth coupons and money first.

Xie Qingyu declined, saying, "I haven't finished spending today's money yet."

"Keep the rest of the money for yourself, and buy whatever you want when you see it."

Thanks to Wang Guimei, their family hardly ever used ration coupons to buy cloth, saving a lot of coupons. Wang Guifen was also generous when giving them to Xie Qingyu.

The next day, when Secretary Xie announced that they would be going to the movies in a couple of days, Xie Qingyu could hear the villagers cheering as she walked down the street.

So much so that whenever Xie Qingyu went to deliver mung bean water, she could hear people discussing movies everywhere she went.

This movie will be shown in the next village, which is the village of Uncle Gangzi that Secretary Xie mentioned. They will have to go there early to secure a spot.

Even when the educated youth gathered together, they talked about this.

"Shall we go together?" Liu Qingqing asked, seemingly addressing everyone, but her gaze ultimately landed on He Shen.
