Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 346 - 345: Very Good Reason

Chapter 346: Chapter 345: Very Good Reason

Lin Nianhe could hardly believe that she had run into Su Yuncheng again so soon.

She looked at him, then at the tricycle beside him.

The vehicle was loaded with blankets, mattresses, bowls, and basins, and even an old lady.

The old lady was also holding a chicken.

Lin Nianhe’s face was full of question marks: "What’s all this?"

Su Yuncheng cleared his throat, responding seriously: "The commune says that factory matters are important, so they arranged for two public security officers to stay here long-term."

Lin Nianhe raised her eyebrows: "So they sent you here?"

"Yep, Uncle Liu said everyone else was busy."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

Ah right, right, everyone else is busy, just him, who deals with enemies all day, is the idle one.

Su Yuncheng, as if he could read her mind, added: "If I have a task, the station will arrange someone else temporarily."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

What else could she say?

She could only compliment Uncle Liu for his thorough thoughtfulness.

"Cough, cough," Su Yuncheng tactically coughed, changing the subject. "Nianhe, come greet her, this is Aunt Feng, Feng Wei’s mother."

Feng Wei is a late-blooming child; Aunt Feng was forty years old when she had him. She’s sixty-one this year, strong and quite plump.

Feng Wei’s father passed away last year, leaving behind only mother and son, dependent on each other. Now that Feng Wei will be staying long-term at Ten Miles Team, he was worried about leaving his old mother alone at home, so he filed a report with the station and brought his mother along.

"Hello, Aunt," Lin Nianhe stepped forward politely, "I’m Lin Nianhe."

"Ah yes, hello, hello." Aunt Feng smiled as she spoke, holding Lin Nianhe’s hand, "I often hear my Wei talk about you, you are a beautiful child, so charming and lovable."

While holding Lin Nianhe’s hand, Aunt Feng turned to Su Yuncheng and said with a cheerful smile, "Yuncheng, you better not bully Nianhe because she’s younger, if she cries, I’ll thrash you."

Over these past two years, Aunt Feng often dragged Su Yuncheng to her house for meals, initially out of gratitude for him taking extra care of her son in the army, but gradually she started to treat him as her own child.

Su Yuncheng coughed again, and turned his head to see Lin Nianhe holding Aunt Feng’s hand, pouting as if she was about to cry but then not crying, looking at him.

That little smug look, as if saying: I have a way to deal with you now.

Su Yuncheng’s eyes were tender, and he said softly, "No need to cry, I won’t bully you."

Aunt Feng watched them with a beaming smile, her eyes full of joy.

Feng Wei, wiping off sweat at the side, finally found a chance to interject, "Brother Cheng, we can’t just stand by the roadside, right? Sister Lin, could you arrange something for us?"

Lin Nianhe snapped back to her senses, first turning back to look at the male youth’s dormitory in the front courtyard.

Inside, Sie Yufei was still snoring loudly.

She wondered if Uncle Team Leader had sobered up yet.

She said, "Our team leader got a work injury today. Let’s have Aunt rest in my room for a while. I’ll go and see if the old man is awake, then ask him about the arrangements."

Feng Wei hurriedly asked, "What happened to the team leader?"

During the autumn harvest, he had developed a deep bond with Li Dahe, and hearing the words "work injury," he imagined a disfigured Li Dahe... missing an arm or a leg... or even completely bald.

"He was drinking with Sie Yufei at noon, and both got drunk. I’m not sure if they’ve sobered up by now."

Feng Wei: "..."

He was all ready to offer his condolences, and it turned out to be just drunkenness?

Lin Nianhe couldn’t help but chuckle thinking about the heartfelt brotherhood between those two.

She steadied Aunt Feng’s arm and said, "Aunt Feng, please go and sit at my place for a while. There are two kids playing there, could you watch them for a bit? I’ll be right back."

"A girl, sorry to trouble you." Aunt Feng, holding Lin Nianhe’s hand and cradling a chicken, carefully got off the tricycle.

"Don’t be polite, Brother Feng has always taken good care of me, just like my real brother..."

As she spoke, Lin Nianhe helped her to the backyard.

Seeing walls on all sides, Aunt Feng first placed her chicken on the ground.

"Nianhe, Shanshan," Lin Nianhe opened the door and told the two children, "This is Brother Feng Wei’s mother, you should call her Aunt Feng."

"Hello, Aunt Feng." Niuwa looked up from his book, greeted obediently, and then got off the kang bed to steady Aunt Feng’s other hand.

Zheng Shan also looked up, gave a barely noticeable smile at Aunt Feng without saying a word.

"Shanshan is not very talkative, please don’t mind," Lin Nianhe smiled and explained, assisting Aunt Feng onto the kang bed.

"No worries, the girl looks quite pretty, just a bit thin," Aunt Feng said with a smile towards Zheng Shan, then looked at Niuwa’s bandaged head, "What happened to this child? Did he fall?"

"Um," Niuwa chuckled and looked at Lin Nianhe before saying, "I accidentally tripped."

"That must have been tough," Aunt Feng said sympathetically, rubbing his head, then turned to Lin Nianhe, "Girl, sorry for the trouble, we came unexpectedly..."

"It’s alright, Aunt Feng, please have a seat," Lin Nianhe responded with a smile. "I’ll go find the team leader and see where we can arrange for you, but our team’s conditions can’t compare to those in town, you might have to bear with us."

"At my age, I’m not so picky," Aunt Feng said nonchalantly, "You go ahead, I’ll watch the kids."

"Alright, I’m off then, if you need anything just ask Niuwa," Lin Nianhe ruffled Niuwa’s hair, "Bring a bowl of water for Aunt Feng, don’t be shy."

"Okay."

Lin Nianhe left the house and saw two men in the front yard, she said, "Why don’t you guys stay and keep Aunt Feng company?"

Su Yuncheng said, "Feng Wei, you stay." Then he walked over to Lin Nianhe’s side, obviously intending to go with her.

Feng Wei: "Alright."

Lin Nianhe didn’t respond specifically, and with a flick of her wrist, stepped out of the house.

Su Yuncheng followed her, clearing his throat, "I need to show the introduction letter to the team leader."

Lin Nianhe with a pressed lip smile: "Hmm, sounds like a good reason."

She noticed Su Yuncheng’s ears turn red, and kindly refrained from teasing him further, heading straight to Li Dahe’s house.

Before even entering, she heard a thunderous snoring sound.

Lin Nianhe stopped, "Seems there’s no need to go in."

Su Yuncheng asked, "Should we go find Director Wang?"

"Aunt Wang is at a meeting today, probably hasn’t returned yet," Lin Nianhe checked the time and said, "Uncle Zhao should be at the grain drying yard, let’s go there."

"Alright."

Accountant Zhao was indeed at the grain drying yard, where he was most competent with the agricultural work, naturally he wouldn’t miss it.

Upon arriving at the grain drying yard, Lin Nianhe saw Cao Shijian and Bai Xiaojun there too. She quickly went over to tell them, "Shanshan and Niuwa have been found, don’t worry."

Bai Xiaojun nodded, "Yeah, Teacher Wang told me."

Lin Nianhe was puzzled, "Then why are you still here?"

Cao Shijian looked innocent, "Oh, you didn’t say that finding them meant we could leave."

Lin Nianhe: "..."
