Chapter 711: Chapter 710 Sister Shumei is the Best in the World

Wang Shumei and the other two are all efficient workers; by the time Lin Nianhe went to find Su Yuncheng, they had already organized all the specialties they brought along the walls in categories.

Lin Nianhe touched her nose: "You guys are making me feel embarrassed."

When she went back home, Aunt Lin almost scrubbed her down in a water bucket too.

Won’t she want to trade daughters after seeing how capable and tidy other people’s daughters are...

"Ring ring ring—"

The phone suddenly rang, and Lin Nianhe hurried to answer it.

"Hello, Lin Family."

"Hehe, have your friends arrived?"

The voice of Aunt Lin came from the other end of the line.

Several times more tender than usual.

Lin Nianhe replied: "They’ve arrived. We just finished organizing everything and we’re about to go out for dinner."

"Good, take good care of them for me. I have to go to Shanghai this afternoon, and your father won’t be back tonight. The few of you just have fun. Send them my regards and welcome."

"Alright, take care on your trip, I will take good care of them."

"Mhm."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nianhe turned around and said: "My mom has a last-minute business trip, and my dad won’t be back tonight either. No one’s going to supervise us, haha. Oh, my mom says welcome, and she’ll treat you to a meal at our house when she gets back."

Comrade Old Lin clearly isn’t coming back because he’s concerned about a few young ladies being at home without his wife, which might be inconvenient.

But Lin Nianhe didn’t spell it out, simply suggesting that both her parents were busy with work, so as not to make her friends feel more embarrassed.

What surprised them even more was—

"Your house actually has a telephone?"

"Um... sometimes my parents need it for work, so they can be reached in case of emergencies."

This reason was quite reasonable and easily accepted.

The three girls nodded slowly.

They felt that they had been more surprised in the past hour than they had been in the past twenty years.

In their impression, the closest telephone they knew of was either at the neighborhood office or at their parents’ workplace, if not the post office.

They had never seen a phone installed in a house before.

Now, they didn’t think Lin Nianhe was pretentious at all.

Everything was normal, all normal.

They made calls to their own families and the production brigade to check in, and just after the last call was made, Su Yuncheng came looking for them to eat.

This meal was both a welcome and the third engagement banquet.

When they heard about Su Yuncheng and Lin Nianhe’s engagement, all four of them looked puzzled.

Lin Nianhe: "What’s wrong? Isn’t it normal?"

Wen Lan swallowed down the duck meat in her mouth, seriously confused: "Why don’t you two just get married?"

Lin Nianhe said that they would not be so surprised even if she already had a child.

Been dating for more than two years, they had made such a fuss... just to get engaged?

Lin Nianhe chuckled: "Education comes first, education is most important."

Su Yuncheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, education comes first."

Everyone curled their lips unanimously, as if they were frustrated with them dragging their feet.

After lunch, they went to sightsee the Summer Palace, passed by the Cooperative Society on their way back, and bought some things.

The money was a bonus from Factory Director Ji, and the national tickets were obtained by Li Dahe for them; they were probably among the most well-off college students at the moment.

By the time they got home, it was dusk. Wen Qingqing and Wen Ruannuan had gotten off work and came to find them, and shortly after arriving, they went out to eat again.

This day they saw the prosperity of Beijing for the first time, and they agreed to get up early the next day to see the flag-raising ceremony, then went to bed after washing up.

Lin Nianhe didn’t usually have the habit of going to bed early; the more she wanted to sleep early, the more she couldn’t fall asleep. After tossing and turning for a while and not being able to sleep, she ended up making herself thirsty instead.

She couldn’t be bothered to go downstairs to get water, taking out a bottle of mineral water from her space instead and drank a few sips, planning to get up and read for a while.

She had just gotten out of bed when she faintly heard the sound of a door downstairs tapping lightly.

Lin Nianhe: "...?"

The likelihood of a thief entering the courtyard was less than 0.1%, so what was that sound of the door?

She put on her clothes and went downstairs, and through the living room window, she saw Wang Shumei standing in the courtyard.

Lin Nianhe took two cups of milk and carried them out the door.

"Missing home?" She handed one cup of milk to Wang Shumei.

Wang Shumei took the milk, holding the cup in both hands without saying a word.

Lin Nianhe pulled her to sit down on the bamboo chair in the courtyard and asked gently, "What happened?"

Today, although Wang Shumei was surprised and curious, she obviously spoke less than usual.

Lin Nianhe had noticed, but it wasn’t appropriate to ask in detail in front of everyone.

"Um..."

Wang Shumei dragged the sound, seemingly pondering and considering.

After a moment, she said, "During the New Year, Sun Guanghui insisted on having me visit his family to pay respects."

Lin Nianhe frowned silently.

Clearly, the meeting must not have been pleasant.

Otherwise, why wouldn’t Sun Guanghui have come to Beijing with them?

Wang Shumei looked up at the moon and said softly, "I only found out this year that his dad is the deputy factory director of a beverage factory... It’s pretty normal for them to look down on me."

Wang Shumei spoke in a relaxed tone, shrugged her shoulders after speaking, and took a big gulp of milk.

"To hell with them, my Shumei sister is the best in the whole world."

Lin Nianhe rolled her eyes.

Wang Shumei laughed silently, not responding.

Lin Nianhe asked, "What did Sun Guanghui say?"

"What can he say with his taciturn nature? But he said, let’s talk when we get to Beijing." Wang Shumei squinted her eyes, looking at the moon, and said, "Nianhe, I just feel tired, so tired."

She left many words unsaid.

For instance, upon hearing that Wang Shumei’s mother passed away early, her father disappeared, and in her family, only a cousin who was the captain of a textile factory’s truck fleet held a decent job, along with a brother serving in the military and a sister in high school, Sun Guanghui’s mother revealed undisguised scorn and disdain on her face.

For instance, when she gave Sun Guanghui’s younger sister a red envelope, Mrs. Sun subtly remarked: Keep it, after all, it’s just moving from your brother’s pocket to yours.

For instance, at the dinner table, Father Sun emphasized three times "Focus on studies in college, no rush to date or get married"...

And many others, Wang Shumei didn’t want to recall them one by one.

Lin Nianhe could guess some of these things without being told.

She tugged at Wang Shumei’s braid, and sneakily said, "Shumei sister, how about we get Uncle Ji to give you a nominal deputy factory director position at the textile factory when we go back to Lan County this summer break? That’ll show them."

Wang Shumei almost choked on her milk, looking at Lin Nianhe with a mixture of crying and laughter: "Where did you get such a mischievous idea?"

"I think Hezi’s idea is solid!"

Wen Lan’s head suddenly popped out from behind the door, along with Miao Hongqi.

Miao Hongqi actually nodded along with her.

They both ran out and squeezed onto the bench to sit.

"Why are you guys up too?" Wang Shumei’s face was a bit red, thankfully the night was thick and they couldn’t see it.

"I was feeling a bit restless in bed," Miao Hongqi said, looking at Wang Shumei, "No wonder you were so quiet the whole way here."

Wen Lan clenched her fist, patting Wang Shumei’s thigh, "Silly girl, what’s the use of telling her, just tell me!"

Wang Shumei felt the pain and while rubbing her thigh, asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
