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

Xie Qingyu never expected Xie Xixing to be able to do this.

He left early the next morning, but when Wang Guifen asked him where he was going, he didn't say.

According to Wang Guifen, he looked unwell when he left in the morning and asked Xie Qingyu if something had happened in the city yesterday.

Xie Qingyu thought for a moment, and the only person she could think of was the two people she met at the department store yesterday, but it shouldn't be that.

So she naturally thought that it was still that television set that Xie Xixing was thinking about.

He was very interested in this kind of thing.

Fortunately, Wang Guifen didn't press the matter. Children in the countryside are raised in a free-range manner, especially Xie Xixing, who is already so old.

It's not the busy season for farming now, so he can go wherever he wants.

Xie Qingyu was also lost in thought, and after staying in the room for a while, she still couldn't think straight.

At this point, she expressed herself more subtly, feeling that her progress in the strategy guide had been somewhat slow.

It was already at 10% a few days after I arrived, but now it's only at 40%.

Since there were no opportunities at home, Xie Qingyu decided to go out and find Chun Tao.

When they arrived at Chuntao's house, they were told that Chuntao had gone to the river to wash clothes.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Qingyu went to the river to find her.

When Xie Qingyu arrived, there were already many people by the river.

The villagers wash their clothes downstream of the river, where there are trees and shady spots.

Xie Qingyu came over briskly, without even a basin in her hand, making her stand out in the crowd.

She quickly found Chuntao among the groups of people washing clothes.

"Why did you come here!" Chun Tao was a little excited and moved aside to make room for her.

"I just went to your house, and your mother said you came to do the laundry." Xie Qingyu took a candy out of her pocket and stuffed it into Chun Tao's mouth.

"It's my turn to do the laundry today. I just got here, so it'll be a while before I'm finished." Chun Tao's eyes lit up when she ate the candy.

"Let's go to the back mountain to find something to eat after you've finished washing," Xie Qingyu said, squatting down beside her and splashing water with her hands.

“Okay, I’ll tell you…” Chun Tao’s eyes lit up. She looked around before whispering a few words in Xie Qingyu’s ear.

"Really? Let's try it today and see if we can." Xie Qingyu was also quite excited.

"What are you two whispering about? Why can't we hear?" the old woman across from them asked, noticing how close they were talking.

"Auntie, why do you want to hear everything? Let's have a private chat, okay?" Xie Qingyu replied.

"You silly girl, what's wrong with letting your auntie hear it?" Villagers are known for their gossip, especially now that there's no farm work to do. They love to pry into other people's lives. "You have to be open and honest. Look at how open and honest your auntie is. Anyone who wants to listen can listen."

“I don’t want to hear about your family’s petty squabbles,” Chun Tao retorted.

Some people love gossip, while others just like to stir up trouble.

Ordinary young girls would never be a match for an older woman in a verbal argument, but Xie Qingyu and Chun Tao are different from ordinary young girls; they have the confidence to argue back.

Besides, Sister-in-law Xie was still washing clothes over there. It was just that she hadn't noticed what was happening here. Otherwise, she would be an unreasonable person who could drive people crazy when she started arguing.

The old woman didn't say anything more.

The river wasn't wide, and people were washing clothes under the shade of the trees all around. Unless someone was deliberately speaking in a low voice, everyone could hear them.

So this place is similar to an intelligence exchange center.

Xie Qingyu easily overheard the conversation.

"real or fake?"

"You know they all came from the same place and were sent to the countryside, so they got along quite well. He even helped Liu with chores before..."

The two aunties who were talking were not far from Xie Qingyu.

"That's possible, after all, people like that wouldn't look down on people from the countryside."

"You can't say that. Look, several of the educated youth in the village stayed and got married. Our villagers aren't much different. Look, look, Qingyu is prettier than them."

"The previous educated youth weren't particularly good-looking, and their families weren't well-off either. Since they couldn't go back anyway, they stayed to get married. Look at He, the educated youth, she's not only beautiful, but you can tell she comes from a wealthy family. She bought a bicycle and a watch when she first arrived." The villagers were all interested in gossip, and they all chimed in with their opinions after hearing what the two of them were saying.

“Liu Zhiqing’s family is well-off, and I think the two of them are a good match. If they get married in the village, they will be allocated a homestead.”

"That's Liu Zhiqing coming. We'll find out if we just ask."

These people always speak bluntly.

Seeing Liu Qingqing and two other educated youths washing clothes, they urged the people next to them to ask.

"Liu Qingqing, are you and He Qingqing getting married soon?" Someone asked as soon as Liu Qingqing put down the basin.

Liu Qingqing looked up with a smile, "Auntie, don't tease me."

"Oh my, you're even shy now."

"That's right. Look, last time when Liu Zhiqing fell into the water, it was He Zhiqing who carried her out. Isn't this a good thing coming soon?"

Xie Qingyu was diagonally opposite Liu Qingqing and could see the slight excitement in her eyes.

It seems that this aunt has hit the nail on the head for Liu Qingqing.

"He Zhiqing is here too?" someone suddenly said.

Xie Qingyu looked up and saw He Shen coming this way, just like the other male educated youths at the educated youth settlement.

Most of the people washing clothes by the river were women, but the male educated youth in the settlement were not married, so they naturally washed their own clothes, and they were the rare men to be seen by the river.

"Here comes the educated youth He!" Before He Shen even reached the riverbank, a village auntie greeted him.

He Shen has a good memory, "Aunt Wang."

"Did He, the educated youth, come after Liu, the educated youth?" This question was ambiguous, and the few people by the river who knew the details smiled knowingly.

He Shen's gaze immediately fell on Xie Qingyu, who was squatting by the river.

This was the first time he had seen Xie Qingyu by the river, and his first instinct was to frown. Why had he made her do the laundry?

Then, seeing that there was no basin in front of her, but rather she was playing with the water, he relaxed. Seeing that Xie Qingyu's spirits were quite good, it seemed that yesterday's events hadn't left her traumatized.

Noticing Chun Tao beside her, she realized that she was waiting for Chun Tao, and only then did she feel relieved.

He turned his gaze away from Xie Qingyu. "She came with a few male educated youths. They're not working today, so they thought we could come over together and wash our dirty clothes."

The riverbank was now crowded with people waiting to hear gossip. Seeing that He Shen's answer avoided the trap in his words, someone else spoke up, "When is He Zhiqing planning to marry Liu Zhiqing?"

Upon hearing this, He Shen looked sharply at the speaker, his face devoid of its usual gentle expression, appearing somewhat eerie and making one regret asking the question.
