Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 41 - 40 What exactly happened

41: Chapter 40 What exactly happened?

41 -40 What exactly happened?

In the world, there are only two things you should never let down—delicious food and juicy gossip.

Looking at the big juicy news that fell from the sky, Lin Nianhe decisively opened her arms to warmly embrace it.

“Comrade Li, do you have something to ask?” Lin Nianhe’s lips curved up slightly, and the sparkling light in her eyes scared Li Xiaoshan into silently taking a half step back.

He turned his head away and dared not look at Lin Nianhe, stammering, “That, uh…

is Daxi doing any better?”

“Much better,” Lin Nianhe answered, “Her injuries aren’t serious.

If you’re worried, you can go and see for yourself.”

“That, uh…

that won’t be necessary…”

Li Xiaoshan’s face turned beet red.

He scratched his head, his eyes darting around awkwardly.

Lin Nianhe felt anxious for him seeing him like this.

She made as if to leave: “If you have nothing else, I’ll be heading back.”

“Don’t!” Li Xiaoshan stretched out his hand, wanting to stop Lin Nianhe but not daring to touch her, his hand tensely hanging in mid-air, looking pitiful.

Lin Nianhe repressed the smile in her eyes and asked with her hands behind her back: “Does Comrade Li have another matter?”

“I, I do have something…”

Li Xiaoshan touched his nose and said with a soft voice, “Could, could I trouble, trouble you to take something, something for me to Daxi?”

A melon delivered to the door—it would be absurd not to eat it!

Lin Nianhe decisively nodded: “Sure!

Have you brought it?”

“No…”

Li Xiaoshan wrung the hem of his shirt.

He had come from the fields, how could he possibly have brought anything with him?

He quickly spoke up for fear that Lin Nianhe would find it troublesome, saying: “That, well, Educated Youth Lin, you go back to the Educated Youth Corps first.

I’ll head home to get it and then bring it to you…

also, to not bother you with another trip, when you next go see Daxi…

you can just take it to her.”

“Okay,” Lin Nianhe agreed cheerfully, “Let’s say tomorrow then.

I’ll bring it to Daxi when I go see her again to avoid others seeing and thinking too much.”

“Great!

Thank you!”

Li Xiaoshan, promised by Lin Nianhe, suddenly broke into a brilliant grin and ran off quickly.

Lin Nianhe watched his retreating figure and couldn’t help but laugh.

Oh, such an era of innocence.

She didn’t give it much thought and jauntily headed back to the Educated Youth Corps.

Li Xiaoshan, calm in appearance but fast in pace, was already waiting at the door by the time Lin Nianhe reached the Corps.

As soon as he saw Lin Nianhe, he hurriedly passed the cloth bag in his hand to her, involuntarily stammering again: “Th-thank you.”

“It’s nothing.” Lin Nianhe accepted the small cloth bag he handed over.

The feel of it was all too familiar, it felt like…

a silk scarf.

Just as Lin Nianhe was about to leave, Li Xiaoshan took out two eggs: “This, uh, thank you for saving Daxi, this, this is for you to eat.”

Lin Nianhe burst out laughing.

She couldn’t help but remind him: “Aunt Wang has already thanked me.

If you still want to thank me, you can treat me to a celebratory drink some time.”

Li Xiaoshan’s face flushed crimson in an instant, and he hung his head low, stumbling over his words, unable to speak.

The gong signaling the end of work coincidentally began to sound.

Li Xiaoshan was suddenly flustered, as if he was doing something shameful, shuffling back and forth, wanting to run but feeling it wasn’t appropriate.

Lin Nianhe couldn’t help but find it amusing to watch him like this.

She stepped back into the Corps and said, “Don’t thank me anymore.

Give the eggs to Daxi; she needs to nourish her body more.”

Li Xiaoshan held the eggs and nodded earnestly, taking her words to heart.

Late that night, Wang Hong found a wild rabbit with a broken neck in her yard, and Aunt Li discovered her youngest son was nowhere to be found in the middle of the night.

Of course, Lin Nianhe had no clue about this.

After a good sleep, she finally changed into clothes suitable for work, put on labor-protection gloves and a straw hat, wrapped herself with a scarf, and went out to work with the neighbors from the front yard, voluntarily declaring the end of her rest time.

Her proactive attitude pleased Li Dahe very much.

Although the little bastard was crafty, he was still quite active when it came to work!

With this filter in mind, Li Dahe even overlooked the fact that Lin Nianhe was just an active little good-for-nothing.

Today’s task was still weeding, and Lin Nianhe remembered Aunt Li’s teachings; although she hadn’t been in the fields for three days, her work still seemed decent.

But Lin Nianhe felt something was off today—

No matter where she went, there were always aunties sneaking peeks at her.

Even Aunt Li acted strangely, looking at her with eyes as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lin Nianhe pondered for a long time but still couldn’t figure out what exactly had happened.

She didn’t do anything extraordinary.

Could it be because of the incident with Zhao Zhuangshi, she had become famous after one fight?

That’s the only possibility her limited imagination could conjure.

Lin Nianhe wasn’t in the mood to think too much; as the sun rose higher, she felt her back was almost roasted.

It’s only the end of May, and working was already this uncomfortable, not to mention the autumn harvest…

Lin Nianhe only felt darkness before her eyes, and her future looked bleak.

The more she sweated, the more her hands trembled, Lin Nianhe had regrets.

Perhaps, she could procrastinate for another day?

She believed Widow Zhao wouldn’t mind.

Lin Nianhe was about to give up her work that morning when suddenly Aunt Li’s figure appeared in front of her.

“Educated Youth Lin, come take a break and have some water,” Aunt Li called out.

Just as Lin Nianhe was about to thank her, she heard an auntie next to her tease: “Auntie, are you heartbroken for Educated Youth Lin?” free𝑤ebnovel.com

Aunt Li’s face turned slightly red, and after giving the other a glare, she said: “Educated Youth Lin has just recovered from illness.

What’s wrong with letting her drink some water and rest?”

“Hahaha, why didn’t I see you offering water to Educated Youth Miao when she recovered from her illness?”

“If you can’t speak properly, then shut up.

Nobody considers you mute!”

After roaring at the other, Aunt Li looked at Lin Nianhe again with careful eyes: “Listen, Educated Youth Lin, don’t mind their nonsense.

If you’re tired, take a break; if you can’t finish the work, I’ll help you.”

Lin Nianhe: “Uh…

that’s not necessary.”

She felt that things were definitely more bizarre than she had imagined!

As Lin Nianhe thought, throughout the day she received countless inexplicable looks and meaningful smiles.

The feeling was like a new bride entering the family, meeting a group of mothers-in-law.

“Sister Shumei, what exactly happened during these three days I was gone?”

After work, Lin Nianhe asked Wang Shumei through Wen Lan.

Tired to the bone, Wang Shumei shook her head: “I don’t know either, no one said anything before, it’s just today, everyone’s acting weird, and someone even asked about your birthday.”

Lin Nianhe licked her lips.

What on earth happened that she didn’t know about!

Carrying a belly full of doubts, Lin Nianhe returned to the Educated Youth Corps and, after packing her bag, immediately went looking for Wang Xixi, planning to quickly ask Wang Hong about this peculiar rumor that spread through the village.

She knew Wang Hong wouldn’t hide anything from her, but she didn’t expect to get the answer so quickly—

“Listen, my girl, don’t cry.

If your mom knew you had these feelings, she would have already discussed it with the Li family…

Don’t be angry either, Li Xiaoshan is both dumb and slow, what else does he have besides his strength?

Finding out now that he fancies someone else is better than learning it after you’re engaged, right?”

“Which young man nowadays doesn’t fancy a city girl?

Miss Lin is fair-skinned; not only Li Xiaoshan fancies her, but I think she’s quite…”

Lin Nianhe stood at the entrance of Wang Hong’s house, slowly a giant question mark formed in her mind.
