Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 245 - 244 It’s Just a Disaster

Chapter 245: Chapter 244 It’s Just a Disaster

Before today, Lin Nianhe was always worried about Sie Yufei’s chastity issues.

After today, Lin Nianhe slapped an enormous "playboy" label on Youngest Master Sie’s forehead.

Lin Nianhe sized up Sie Yufei and evaluated with seriousness and severity, "Sie Yufei, you are a disaster."

Conning all the unmarried girls in the village to work for him, could any decent person do such a thing?

This move, even Lin Nianhe thought it was wicked.

Sie Yufei looked innocent, perplexed, and aggrieved.

"Xiao He, this is purely out of necessity," Youngest Master Sie pleas with firm conviction, "I can’t let down Miss Guan."

Lin Nianhe was speechless.

To call him a playboy—yet he remains deeply in love with Miss Guan, not wavering even out of her sight, nor flirting with others;

But to call him a gentleman... Lin Nianhe just wanted to spit in his face on behalf of all the unmarried girls of the Victory Team.

Sie Yufei happily peeled peanuts, raising his chin towards Lin Nianhe, "Xiao He, are you busy? If not, how about accompanying me to the town for a stroll?"

Lin Nianhe responded with rolling eyes, "Go play by yourself, I have a class to teach!"

"Hey, then I will sit in!" Sie Yufei got up excitedly, intending to follow her into the classroom.

"Get lost, stay away from my students!" Lin Nianhe lifted her foot and kicked him, booting Sie Yufei in the direction of Wen Lan.

"Sister Lan! If he dares to talk nonsense with the students, you beat him to death, doing heaven’s work!"

Wen Lan instantly became spirited, "Alright! Got it!"

Sie Yufei: "...!"

Lin Nianhe flicked her braid and turned to enter the classroom.

Sie Yufei looked at her retreating figure, then at the sparkling-eyed Wen Lan, and suggested, "Girl, wanna go catch some fish? You just bring a basket, I’ll handle the rest. If we get fish, you cook and I eat, how about that?"

Youngest Master Sie was really craving some meat!

The big fat fish in the Ten Miles Team’s river were unforgettable.

Wen Lan eyed him skeptically, "You? You sure you can?"

"Hey, what kind of talk is that, I can’t fish? Are you teasing me? Come on, I’ll show you what it means for the fishes in Houhai to tremble at the sight!"

Wen Lan unconsciously licked her lips; with no classes left, she couldn’t control her legs and followed him.

Sister Lan figured catching fish was fine too, so she wasn’t worried about Sie Yufei spouting nonsense to the students anymore.

When it came to fishing, Sie Yufei was indeed no braggart.

That evening, they enjoyed a deliciously fragrant stew of carp with vermicelli.

This directly led to Wen Lan looking at Sie Yufei with eyes full of admiration.

In Sister Lan’s words, "He just made a stick with a sharp end! He struck accurately with every single jab... even my big brother isn’t as good at fishing as him!"

Sie Yufei heartily took all the credit, "Sis, anytime you want to eat fish just send a message through Wu Genmao, and brother here will come help you catch some!"

"Mhm! Next time you teach me, okay?"

"Sure, no problem."

Watching the two of them chatting and laughing, Lin Nianhe quietly took another big bite of fish.

Youngest Master Sie had this innate ability to be chummy; with Wen Lan being quite guileless, it was no surprise they hit it off... it was all within reason.

After a full meal, Sie Yufei asked Wu Genmao, "When are we heading back?"

Wu Genmao glanced at Lin Nianhe with a troubled expression.

Wen Lan and Wang Shumei were cooking when Lin Nianhe told her that the bricks had already been moved to the vegetable cellar.

He had intended to go to work with Cao Shijian after dinner, but if he had to drive Sie Yufei back...

Lin Nianhe took a sip of water and said, "Dinner is over, so you should head back as soon as you can. There’s still plenty of time ahead, and there’s no rush for this very moment."

His words were tactful, leading Sie Yufei to simply think that Lin Nianhe was politely seeing them off without giving it much thought; Wu Genmao also understood, knowing that the sister-in-law wanted them to continue the work tomorrow.

So they didn’t linger any further and hurried off.

The night was falling, yet many people were not asleep.

Li Dahe and several strapping young men were cleaning up the pigsty overnight, shoveling pig manure and cleaning troughs, and he had also procured some lime powder.

Amidst the sound of shovels clashing, there were very faint curses:

"I must have been born to tend to livestock, this motherf... Uncle, for goodness sake, can you not go to sleep at this godforsaken hour? Can’t you see I’m busy here; you don’t need to supervise..."

As the moonlight waned and the sky began to lighten, Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian traversed hills and valleys to reach the vegetable cellar.

They figured that since the sister-in-law had treated them well both in food and in pay, they must finish the task quickly and not delay Lin Nianhe’s important matters.

Digging the earth was not possible during daytime before, but now that they were laying bricks, they didn’t fear anything, so they hurried over early in the morning.

"Hey, Jian, do these bricks look different than the ones from the brick factory?" Wu Genmao inspected a brick closely with the flashlight.

"What difference can there be in bricks?" Cao Shijian snorted, not taking the matter seriously.

"I’m serious! Take a closer look!" Wu Genmao kicked Cao Shijian, signaling him to have a look as well.

Both climbed out of the vegetable cellar, studying the bricks in their hands in the light of dawn.

"Hey, they do seem a bit different, they feel denser than those produced by the brick factory," Cao Shijian noticed something was amiss as well.

They had done plenty of construction work in the provincial city and knew bricks well.

The brick they were looking at was clearly much sturdier than those from the factories.

"Geez, the sister-in-law has some strong connections," Wu Genmao swallowed his saliva, "the bricks at my brother’s are all directly hauled from the factory, yet the sister-in-law’s bricks are even better than those..."

Cao Shijian’s eyes sparkled: "It would be great if the brother could just die sooner."

With such strong connections and being so generous, he was really keen on following her.

All that was missing was for a brother to die!

"Ah-Qiu—Ah-Qiu—"

Bai Bo had been sneezing since early in the morning, shaking so much that Bai Xiaojun kept covering his ears.

Zheng Shan looked at him and asked, "Dad, are you sick?"

"No," Bai Bo waved his hand, blowing his nose, his voice sounding a bit weak, "Nothing, just choked on the wind."

Zheng Lirong came in with a bowl of porridge just as she was about to find medicine for Bai Bo, but then the sound of Laosan came from outside: "Big brother, I’m back!"

Zheng Lirong paused with her hand on the drawer, and then closed the drawer again.

She climbed onto the kang bed with one leg, serving porridge for the two children.

Bai Bo, not minding, responded and got up to leave, remarking to the mother and daughters: "You eat first."

Zheng Lirong couldn’t be bothered with him and didn’t respond.

Once out of the house, Bai Bo first patted Laosan’s shoulder, said "You’ve worked hard, brother," and then handed him a cigarette.

Laosan received the cigarette, and without lighting it, cheerfully said: "Big brother, we’ve got everything ready, nice and quick, just waiting to get started right after the autumn harvest!"

Bai Bo’s eyes immediately lit up, and rubbing his hands, he said "Good" several times, and then he added, "Laosi also called me last night from his end, things went smoothly there too... Now it’s just a matter of what’s really going on with Lin Nianhe."

At the mention of Lin Nianhe, a bit of the smile disappeared from Laosan’s face, and he said, "Big brother, I’ve been held up for a few days in Lan County, and I’ve heard some things about Lin Nianhe..."
