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

They set off early and didn't encounter any familiar sisters-in-law along the way, so they went straight to the market.

It seems to be more lively here if you arrive early.

The villagers brought over their supplies, which they had saved up for half a month, early on. If they could exchange them, they wouldn't miss work.

They already knew pretty much what they needed to buy before they came, so they just needed to look for it here.

Otherwise, it's obvious that Nie Shenyuan would have other reasons for coming to a place like this.

For example, when buying stools, he would directly ask if I knew carpentry and if I took on bed-making jobs.

And so they discussed buying a bed.

"Tuanzi has grown up and it's time for her to sleep in a separate bed." Nie Shenyuan said shamelessly, not daring to look at Xie Qingyu even once when he spoke.

Such nonsense is obviously unbelievable; how old is Tuanzi?

Moreover, at that time, almost every household in the village only had one quilt, and children could sleep with their parents until they were teenagers.

Nie Shenyuan also came from the village, so how could he possibly separate the children's beds so early?

"We should also prepare some quilts, and see if there will be any cotton available in the fall," Nie Shenyuan said to himself.

After finalizing the order for the bed, Nie Shenyuan didn't say much. He left all the other purchases to Xie Qingyu, while he was responsible for bargaining and carrying the items.

If Xie Qingyu wanted to buy something, she only needed to glance at him, and he would automatically go up and negotiate the price.

Tuanzi was still unaware that he was about to become a child who would have to sleep in a separate bed at a young age. He was still engrossed in the things sold at the market, whether it was woven straw sandals or winnowing baskets, they all piqued his curiosity.

Some even brought their own chickens. They had exchanged their food coupons for eggs early on, fearing there wouldn't be any left when they returned from the party.

Then I also bought a lot of small items for home use.

Xie Qingyu was also able to buy soybeans, and even a handful of mung beans.

This was an unexpected bonus; mung beans are great in the summer, whether used in soups or sprouted.

With Nie Shenyuan around, Xie Qingyu didn't care much about what she bought. She could basically get anything she wanted, and she even bought two pairs of cloth shoes for Tuanzi, both of which were the perfect size.

At first, as they walked ahead, people thought the couple was a perfect match, and with their equally attractive daughter, Tuanzi, the family seemed very well-suited. Yu Lingling's actions, on the other hand, seemed despicable.

However, seeing Xie Qingyu buy so many things without even blinking, people immediately changed their tune and felt that Xie Qingyu was not the type to manage a household.

Why does she buy everything she sees? I wonder if the little money Nie Shenyuan earns is enough for her to spend.

The main problem is that these people nowadays basically split every penny in two.

When I go to the market, I go straight for what I want, and if I buy what I need, I don't buy anything else.

Where else can you find someone buying so much like Xie Qingyu?

"Are you blind? She only bought things she needs for the house. She just moved in, what can't she buy?" Xiao Qin said quietly from behind, startling the gossiping women in front.

"Oh dear." One of the women patted her chest.

Xiao Qin had been listening to them talk the whole way, and finally couldn't help but speak up. Seeing them looking at her sideways, she said, "You should take a look at the situation when you're gossiping behind her back. Look at those stools and stuff over there. They're not things she bought for herself, so why do you say they're not for everyday life?"

Xiao Qin's voice wasn't quiet, and Xie Qingyu immediately noticed it, coming over to ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, we're talking here." The women hurriedly moved to the side.

He left before Xie Qingyu arrived.

"They said you're a spendthrift," Xiaoqin said somewhat disgruntledly as they left.

Xie Qingyu glanced at them; none of them looked very familiar. "It's alright, I don't know them anyway. Thank you for standing up for me."

"No problem, you're quite bold, they're all talking about you."

"It wasn't me who did something wrong," Xie Qingyu said with a smile.

"Alright, you should go over there. Those two people over there are staring at you so intently, it makes me a little uncomfortable." Xiao Qin looked behind Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu turned around, and sure enough, the two people stood there without coming over since there was no conflict, but they were still looking this way.

"Haha, go ahead, by the way, I'll probably go back to my parents' house this afternoon. If I hear any rumors, I'll tell you." Xiao Qin laughed happily.

"Okay." Xie Qingyu understood what she meant.

The journey back from here was not as fast as the journey there.

Nie Shenyuan was carrying things in both hands, and a little dumpling was sitting on his neck.

"Give me some, or I can hold Tuanzi," Xie Qingyu said, looking at Nie Shenyuan's overflowing basket.

These things were no burden to him, and he didn't slow down his walking speed at all. Xie Qingyu, carrying only eggs, could barely keep up with his pace.

On the path, the figures of a family of three appeared harmonious and happy.

The recent rumors don't seem to have any effect on them.

In some versions, Xie Qingyu's image wasn't very good, making people think of her as a shrewish country bumpkin.

Now, after being pointed at by someone and seeing what Xie Qingyu looks like, they realize she's definitely not the kind of person the rumors say she is.

Gossip is the best way to get to know people, especially when this matter has only happened two days ago and is at the center of attention.

Those coming this way are all family members of military personnel. Whether they knew Xie Qingyu before or not, they all basically know her this time.

Along the way, people kept looking in their direction, but Xie Qingyu pretended not to notice.

Tuanzi, however, doesn't understand these things yet. When someone looks over, she will look back, only looking away when the other person feels embarrassed.

The three of them arrived home before noon.

Nie Shenyuan put down Tuanzi and began to tidy up the things he had bought today, sorting them and putting them in their proper places.

Today they also got some wild fruit, some unidentified wild fruit that was a little sweet and sour. Tuanzi took a bite and frowned, then waited for the feeling to pass before taking another bite.

It's rare to find anything flavorful here, and sweet things are even rarer.

Xie Qingyu bought these with the intention of pickling them so that Tuanzi could eat them as snacks.

However, it seems that even before that time comes, we can still eat quite a few dumplings.

"Don't eat anymore, or your teeth will get sore and you won't be able to eat lunch," Xie Qingyu said, tapping Tuanzi's forehead.

Clearly, Tuanzi hadn't had this experience before and didn't understand Xie Qingyu's meaning. She just felt that the taste was so addictive that she wanted to eat more.

Xie Qingyu ignored him, thinking he would learn his lesson next time.

The sewing machine arrived around noon.

When the group of people brought the food over, Nie Shenyuan was still in the kitchen preparing to cook.

"Sister-in-law, where do you think we should put the sewing machine? We'll carry it in for you," Shi Tou asked, walking in front.

Seeing Nie Shenyuan come out from that direction, he looked at him with some surprise and glanced into the kitchen, where it seemed that someone was cooking.

"Here, put it in the west room." Nie Shenyuan went up and helped, moving the item to the window of the west room.

"You've worked hard. Come on, have some mung bean soup first." After they had settled down, Xie Qingyu brought out the mung bean soup she had cooked after returning.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

It was hot, and the people who carried it over were all sweaty. Drinking some mung bean soup would be just right for them.

"Ah, that's really nice. It's just that there's no well here. Otherwise, it would be even more comfortable to put it in a well and then take it out," Stone sighed after taking a sip.

"We can have one in the yard when Tuanzi is a little older," Nie Shenyuan said.

"Haha, that's fine, we'll come and help then."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work today. I'll invite you over for dinner in a while, but I'm a bit unwell these days," Nie Shenyuan said.

“We know, I didn’t see Coach Lu sit down for a single minute today. He’s been in a meeting over there the whole time, and people have come in from outside. I guess it’s because…” Shi Tou didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

"You'll know tomorrow." Nie Shenyuan patted him on the shoulder.

Shi Tou laughed, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's nothing serious. They have to give you an explanation. Even if they want to downplay it, they tried to ruin a soldier's marriage, so they definitely deserve some punishment."

"Yes, thank you." Xie Qingyu smiled, and indeed seemed to have no worries.

"Hehe, of course." Stone and the others didn't linger. It was almost lunchtime, and they wouldn't stay for dinner anyway.

As they left, Xie Qingyu went to check out the sewing machine.

This old-fashioned sewing machine has a vintage feel to it. Xie Qingyu roughly knows how to use it and tries to get started.

The stool I bought this morning was the perfect height to put here, so Xie Qingyu just took the clothes she had cut for Tuanzi earlier and started making them.

Tuanzi was very curious about the big guy that had suddenly appeared in the house. He ran over and looked at it, especially when Xie Qingyu stomped on it to make it move. His big eyes were full of surprise.

Xie Qingyu got the hang of it after using it for a while, and with one burst of energy, she wanted to make a set of clothes for Tuanzi.

When Nie Shenyuan finished cooking and came over to check on things, Xie Qingyu was completely focused on what she was doing and didn't notice him coming over at all.

"Let's eat first," Nie Shenyuan said, approaching.

Tuanzi looked up at him, and seeing that Xie Qingyu didn't move, he didn't move either.

"Just a little bit left, and Tuanzi's outfit will be finished." Xie Qingyu said without looking up.

Once you see a garment taking shape in your hands, you don't want to stop halfway through.

When Tuanzi heard that the clothes were for him, he became even more docile and stayed by Xie Qingyu's side.

Nie Shenyuan looked helpless, but he could only wait. Standing behind Xie Qingyu and watching her focused expression, he suddenly felt that buying this sewing machine was really worthwhile.

Fortunately, Xie Qingyu was indeed quick, and the last bit of finishing work was completed in no time.

Xie Qingyu picked up the clothes and turned them over. It was a small top made of light blue fabric. She held it up against Tuanzi and said, "It seems to fit perfectly."

"Let him try it after we finish eating," Nie Shenyuan said.

Tuanzi stared longingly at the shirt in Xie Qingyu's hand, not wanting to eat.

"Sweetie, eat first, or you'll make a mess." Nie Shenyuan picked him up and carried him outside.
