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

"Are we going to town tomorrow?" Xie Xixing asked He Shen, who was walking beside him.

After Xie Xixing learned that He Shen was going to make a phone call, he offered to go with him and came along to ask about it.

"Is something wrong at the agricultural machinery station?" He Shen asked. "Or has the driver returned?"

Xie Xixing smiled and said, "You really understand me. It just so happens that we're here at the same time. Are you coming or not?"

He Shen shook his head.

After Xie Qingyu got up, He Shen kept glancing at her, whether he was talking to Secretary Xie in the courtyard or coming out with Xie Xixing.

But Xie Qingyu didn't look at him once from beginning to end.

She couldn't even be bothered to roll her eyes at him.

"Alright then." Xie Xixing didn't insist.

Upon arriving at the location, Xie Xixing greeted the people at the brigade headquarters with ease and led He Shen to make a phone call.

After He Shen went inside, he went out and talked to the other villagers in the courtyard, blending in with them and leaving He Shen with his own space.

He Shen had sent a telegram home earlier and was waiting for the phone to connect and be transferred. After a while, He Shen finally heard the old man's voice on the other end.

"You still know how to call." The old man snorted coldly as soon as he heard He Shen's voice.

“If I really don’t give you the call, you won’t be able to get out of bed.” He Shen never held back when speaking to the old man.

"Hmph, I'm perfectly healthy. I can even help you take care of the children." The old man's voice was loud and clear, and he sounded quite alright.

The information conveyed by the telegram was indeed inaccurate.

"You found a wife after only three months in the countryside, when are you going to bring her back for me to see?" The old man couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to ask this from the very beginning.

"What wife?" He Shen was taken aback for a moment, then remembered the joke Wang's sister-in-law made by the river last time. "I'm just following your instructions to look after Liu Qingqing and make sure she's not bullied. There's nothing else between us!"

He Shen quickly clarified, but the old man on the other end chuckled, "You kid still want to lie to me? I never said it was that girl from the Liu family. Your Uncle Huang called and told me."

The old man gave me a knowing look, as if to say, "I heard she's a very pretty girl. Could you send me a photo of her so I can have a look too?"

He Shen immediately thought of Xie Qingyu.

I never expected that it was Xie Qingyu who was being mentioned.

He paused for a moment, then said, "There is no granddaughter-in-law. Don't make wild guesses. Uncle Huang is mistaken."

The old man over there chuckled, "Still haven't caught up? You don't have any of my skills from back then. What a waste of your good looks that resemble mine."

He Shen didn't speak, then changed the subject, "The telegram said you're not feeling well, what exactly happened?"

"What could have happened? I just ate a little too much and didn't digest it properly," the old man said nonchalantly.

He Shen sighed, knowing he wouldn't tell the truth.

“You can’t be left alone. Don’t always think about slipping away and running off, or you won’t even know what might happen,” He Shen said.

"Alright, enough nagging. I'll definitely live to see you come back with your wife." The old man wasn't worried at all.

"Have those two people visited you recently?" He Shen asked, his voice somewhat cold.

The old man hesitated and said, "They came, and after hearing that I was sick, they came several more times. I didn't let them in. It's one thing for your stepmother to scheme against you for her own son to send you to the countryside, but your father is just as muddle-headed. I have plenty of ways to make you all stay."

The old man gets furious whenever he talks about his good-for-nothing son.

He Shendu regretted asking, "Don't worry about them. If he wants to be filial, let him be. It won't affect anything."

He Shen was worried that the old man was alone over there, and if things got too tense, there would be no one else around if something happened.

"You don't need to worry about me. For what I have, I'll curse them out hundreds of times, but they'll still come looking for you. It's just a pity that you'll have to stay in the countryside for a while longer. Even if they can get you back, it's not like you can come back in just a few months. That would be too conspicuous."

"I know, don't worry about me, I'm fine here."

"Come back when you've found a wife there," the old man said, bringing the topic back to the present.

......

When He Shen came out after making the call, only Xie Xixing was left standing in the courtyard.

Xie Xixing glanced at He Shen's face. "How is the old man's health?"

"His voice sounds fine, but he won't tell the truth when asked. I'll call again in the next few days to check," He Shen replied.

"Come with me to town tomorrow, I think I'll need to bring some things back."

Xie Xixing's words carried a hint of joy, and He Shen turned to look at him, and sure enough, he was smiling.

"What to bring?"

"I just heard from Lao Liang that the driver came back with a women's bicycle." Xie Xixing said, his voice low but still tinged with excitement.

"I want money, not coupons. I want to buy a bicycle for my sister. She's always thought our bicycle is too tall and has never ridden it. It's inconvenient for her to go out. I'll buy her a women's bicycle tomorrow." Xie Xixing could almost imagine how happy Xie Qingyu would be when she received the bicycle.

"You just bought it for her directly?" He Shen knew that Xie Xixing had some things he kept from his family, and he probably hadn't even told them about the money he had.

"It's alright, I'll ask my mother for some money, she'll definitely agree to buy it. I'll just ask her for a small amount, that'll be the way to go." Xie Xixing had no doubt about this.

He had mentioned to Wang Guifang that women's bicycles were already available in big cities, and she said she wanted to buy one for Xie Qingyu so that it could be part of her dowry.

"Then I'll go with you."

the next morning.

He Shen looked at Xie Xixing, who had ridden his bicycle to the village entrance, and asked, "Where's your sister?"

"I didn't bring her." Xie Xixing said readily. "Originally, I was thinking of bringing her along so she could choose one. On the way back, one of us would bring my sister and the other would bring the bicycle. But when I woke up this morning, she wasn't awake yet. I thought it would be good to just buy it for her and then find a place to teach her so she could ride it into the village by herself."

Xie Xixing felt that his plan was perfectly sound.

It's all a surprise anyway.

......

He Shen tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Just now, he was still feeling uneasy, wondering what Xie Qingyu's attitude would be when he saw her.

But to everyone's surprise, Xie Xixing didn't bring anyone with him at all.

"Take your bike back to the educated youth settlement. If we go together, one bike will suffice. I'll ride the new bike back." Xie Xixing was eager to try.

In the end, the two of them rode a bicycle to town.

After eating, Xie Qingyu played with her three nephews for a while and then helped Wang Guifang with some chores.

"Where did Third Brother go again?"

"You'll know when he gets back." Wang Guifang knew she would ask, so she immediately started playing the legal game.

Xie Qingyu could tell something was wrong just by looking at her expression.
