Chapter 543: Chapter 545: Fellow Villager

"Yeah." Zheng Jin nodded happily and then looked at Ji Shuyuan with sparkling eyes, asking in dialect, "Are you from Gaoliangyuan too?"

"I used to be."

Hearing her familiar dialect, Ji Shuyuan felt even more warmth.

"I only came here last year for university," Zheng Jin said cheerfully, glancing at the bag full of items she had just picked out. She handed over the exact amount of money.

Ji Shuyuan gave her a small discount of two yuan, saying, "We’re from the same place, let’s forget about those two yuan."

"Thank you." Zheng Jin had managed to buy the hair clips she wanted and the scarf she liked, and she was quite happy about it.

"Do you know Xu Nianhua then?" Ji Shuyuan thought since she had gotten into South City University last year, and Gaoliang County only had one high school, perhaps she knew Nianhua?

"Of course I know her. We were classmates and good friends. I even met her last year before New Year. She has become more beautiful. It’s a pity she went to university in Ningbei; otherwise, we could have gone shopping together," Zheng Jin said non-stop once she started talking about Xu Nianhua.

In high school, the one true friend Zheng Jin acknowledged was Xu Nianhua.

"Oh, you know Nianhua too?" Zheng Jin asked, realizing a bit too late.

Maybe because they all knew the same person and were fellow townsfolk, Ji Shuyuan felt even closer to the girl before him. He said, "She’s my aunt’s daughter, my cousin."

"Really?" Zheng Jin asked instinctively, feeling that it was too much of a coincidence.

"Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you?" Ji Shuyuan cleared his throat, noticing that he had changed a lot since he started selling these items.

"Then why are you..." selling these things.

Zheng Jin started to speak but then quickly shut her mouth.

"I’m a student at South City University, in my second year," Ji Shuyuan explained, seeming to understand her unspoken words. He added, "Don’t look down on these small items; they can earn quite a bit of money."

"Then, you should come sell at our Normal University next time. There are lots of girls at our school, and they would definitely like these things," Zheng Jin immediately replied, suspecting that Ji Shuyuan might be from a less affluent family. She pursed her lips and said, "How about this, next Saturday, come sell at our school gate, and I’ll bring my classmates to buy from you."

"That’s a deal then, I should be heading back now," Zheng Jin said, turning around and running off.

Ji Shuyuan watched her running figure, thinking that she was just like Nianhua, both beautiful and kind-hearted girls.

...

This was at Ningbei, in front of the Medical University.

By the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, many students had gradually started returning to school, and Xu Nian’an’s newly opened ’Beautiful Boutique’ immediately caught everyone’s attention.

The items were cheap, ranging from a few cents to a few dollars, and even up to ten dollars, but the shop was beautifully arranged. Entering it, one would be attracted by the wide range of items available.

Especially for girls, it was hard to take their eyes off. Anyone who entered the shop left with something.

Xu Nianhua was good at arithmetic; she stood at the specially reserved cashier counter without moving, constantly calculating prices and collecting money—this routine continued in a loop, and her smile almost stiffened on her face.

This situation persisted until the evening.

Taking advantage of a moment when the shop was empty, Xu Nianhua simply sat on the floor, saying, "Second brother, the three of us were spinning around all day today. If this continues when classes officially start, it’ll surely wear us out."

"Also, in the past two days, we’ve only priced half the items. There’s still half left unpriced," Xu Nianhua added, feeling a headache coming on, missing the future system of money collection
