Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

It turned out that Song Qinian had received a letter from his maternal grandfather's friend, Old Master Fang, while he was in the county these past few days.

Grandpa Fang not only sent receipts, money, and canned meat, but also a whole set of review books. In the letter, he subtly mentioned the upcoming resumption of the college entrance examination and hoped that he could prepare well for the exam.

After learning this news, Song Qinian began to think about how to get Xu Shuwan to leave the Xu family and preferably move to the county.

As luck would have it, he overheard a conversation between steelworkers in a state-run restaurant, which solved his immediate problem.

It turns out that the county's steel plant had a batch of newly imported foreign equipment, but the translator was held up by something, and the workers almost caused a fatal accident while tinkering with it themselves.

So this batch of equipment has been sitting there, and the factory leaders are really worried about it.

Song Qinian had been interested in these mechanical devices since childhood, and since he had also studied foreign languages, he gave it a try and succeeded.

The factory leaders were short of such talent and really wanted to keep him, so they gave him 500 yuan and promised him a permanent position.

Normally, all I need to do is translate the instruction manuals for these devices and help out when there are installation difficulties or operational problems.

This was exactly what Song Qinian wanted. After he finished these procedures and rented a house in the county for a year, he returned to the village intending to use money to buy out Xu Shuwan's relationship with the Xu family.

Xu Shuwan also learned about what happened afterward, and she couldn't help but marvel at Song Qinian's luck and ability.

As they were talking, Song Qinian quickly got the letters of introduction for him and Xu Shuwan sorted out, and then took her back to the county.

Although Xu Shuwan had seen many big and small cities in modern times, the streets of the 1970s were truly unique, carrying a strong atmosphere of the era.

Most people wore blue, gray, military green, or clothes with small floral prints. Occasionally, a young boy riding a bicycle would carry a girl wearing a "Dacron" shirt, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

This was Xu Shuwan's first time in the county, and her eyes were full of curiosity about the scenes.

Song Qinian didn't rush her, but waited patiently for her to finish reading before leading her into the state-run hotel.

The restaurant was about to close, and there were very few dishes left. Song Qinian simply ordered a few meat buns and two bowls of soup, planning to take Xu Shuwan out for a better meal the next day.

The buns at this time were quite substantial, each one as big as Xu Shuwan's palm. They were soft and fluffy, and when you bit into one, the juice would burst out, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

After the meal, Song Qinian took Xu Shuwan to his rented house.

Considering that he had not yet established a relationship with Xu Shuwan, Song Qinian rented a separate house for Xu Shuwan, complete with a bedroom, toilet, kitchen, and study, while he went back to live in the house assigned by the factory.

After he had made arrangements for Xu Shuwan, he said to her:

"As I mentioned before, the college entrance examination will be reinstated soon. We now have at least half a year more than others. During this time, you shouldn't think about anything else and just focus on preparing."

There's a study room here; you can go there to study. My workplace is very close by, and I come back every day during my lunch break and after get off work. If you have any questions, I'll help you answer them when I get back. You can also come to me if you need anything else.

If you want to eat, just go to the state-run restaurant; they provide tickets and payment.

Tomorrow I'll take you to buy some daily necessities. Oh, and in a few days I'll take you to the county high school. Whether you go or not is secondary; the important thing is to get you a student registration so you can apply smoothly later.

After saying this, he saw that Xu Shuwan was a little at a loss, so he added, "Don't overthink it. Your goal now is to study hard. When you become a college student, you will naturally be able to earn money to pay me back. Sharpening your axe won't delay your work."

Xu Shuwan nodded heavily, then thought for a moment and said, "I saw the market when I came here. It's nearby. I'll just eat at home. It's very convenient. I can cook for you when you get home from get off work tonight."

When Song Qinian heard the word "home", his eyes twitched, but he didn't object. He simply said, "Okay, wait for me to get home tonight and we'll cook together. If we get tired, we can go out to eat."

The next day, Song Qinian took Xu Shuwan to the supply and marketing cooperative. Upon entering, they went first to the clothing section. Song Qinian looked down at Xu Shuwan and asked gently, "Is there anything you like?"

Seeing that she shook her head, he didn't say anything more. He picked out a few clothes that fit well from the rack and said to the sales clerk, "Could you please take these down from the rack for me?"

Looking at the ordinary clothes worn by Song Qinian and Xu Shuwan, the saleswoman assumed he was trying to show off in front of the girls and said with dissatisfaction, "Are you going to buy all of these?"

Xu Shuwan tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "No need for so much, let's go."

Song Qinian patted her arm reassuringly, took out a stack of cloth coupons and money, and said, "I'll take all of what I just pointed to. How much?"

The sales clerk was taken aback by the large bundle he produced, and her attitude improved considerably. She quickly wrapped up the clothes and handed them over.

Xu Shuwan opened her mouth, but seeing that the sales clerk had already packed everything, she didn't dare to say anything more. After walking out of the counter, she said with some heartache, "I only need one piece. So many clothes are too expensive."

Song Qinian avoided her question and said, "But if you don't say what you like, I can only guess. If I buy a few more items, there's bound to be something you like."

Sure enough, during the subsequent shopping trip, when Song Qinian asked Xu Shuwan what she liked, Xu Shuwan obediently answered.

When the two came out again, their hands were full.
