Chapter 175: Chapter 174: Yecheng University

Lin Xia was delighted with the three Lingzhi mushrooms that Lin Dong brought back and lavished praise on him.

"Big sister! Haizi got into No. 8 Middle School! He’s coming to the city tomorrow to find me, and we’ll go shopping together for school supplies!

From now on, it’s great he’ll be boarding; when we have time, we can study and play together!" Lin Dong thought about it and couldn’t help but grin.

Lin Xia was also happy for Lin Dong, "Really! That’s fantastic! In that case, keep the money left from selling the Lingzhi for yourself and use it to buy your school supplies!"

Since they moved to the city and changed schools, Lin Dong really had no friends around.

Now knowing that Haizi could come to the city, it was just too good a thing; everyone needs a true friend with whom they can share their heart and mess around.

Lin Dong immediately beamed, "Thank you, big sister!" His big sister had given him ten large bills, and he had only spent thirty, still leaving him seventy dollars.

"Thank for what! You are old enough now; you should have some pocket money. In a few days, when you start school, besides the meal costs, big sister will give you some extra pocket money each month!"

Lin Xia understood that no matter who it was, if they didn’t have money in their pocket, they would feel insecure. So, within her means, she was willing to make sure her siblings had some money in their pockets.

And she knew them well; they wouldn’t squander money.

Lin Dong laughed heartily again.

"Oh, big sister! I told second brother earlier that we were getting the Lingzhi for Brother Lu. Is that okay?"

He had noticed a change in the second brother’s expression at the time, but they had known each other for so long, and second brother had never shown any intention of pursuing his big sister, so he didn’t dare to make assumptions lightly.

"It’s alright to say it! It’s no secret anyway!" Lin Xia really didn’t think it was a big deal.

"Ah! That’s a relief! Hehe! I need to see what I’ll wear tomorrow. I need to take Haizi for a good tour around the city!" After saying that, Lin Dong ran back to his room.

Lin Xia shook her head, smiling. This boy! Putting on airs! He’s not meeting a girl, why does it matter what he wears to see Haizi?

She looked at the three Lingzhi placed on the Kang, took out some paper and a pen, and started writing a letter to Lu Zheng.

Lin Xia first inquired about Lu Zheng’s injuries, then brought up the Lingzhi. She didn’t think she had written much, but it turned out to be a page and a half on the draft paper.

She checked for any typos, and when she found that she had made three corrections, she smiled sheepishly and neatly copied it over again.

As for Lin Chun, since Lin Dong had just written to him a few days ago, Lin Xia didn’t write another letter.

Seeing it was still early, Lin Xia went straight to the post office to mail the letter.

This time, worried about losing it, she didn’t send a regular letter; instead, she sent a registered mail.

The address she wrote was the new home’s address, and she signed it as Xia Lin.

Lin Xia wondered how long it would take for the letter to be delivered this time; she hoped it wouldn’t get lost again.

A few days later, Lin Dong also started school, and for convenience, he went to stay at the school, planning to return home only during holidays.

Thus, now only Lin Xia and Lin Qiu were at home.

Having someone to help made all the difference; Sheng Yijin helped Lin Xia get affiliated with a collective enterprise.

Mingyuan came to her house to tell Lin Xia about this and also asked what goods she wanted to fetch, offering to bring them back for her.

Having spent a lot of time together, they were no longer so formal, and Lin Xia, without any reservation, directly stated the goods she wanted to order.

However, she couldn’t quite put her finger on why, but she felt something was off about Mingyuan this time.

"Second brother! Are you alright?"

Mingyuan shook his head with a smile, "I’m fine!" He was hesitant to voice his thoughts.

If he directly asked that man named Lu what was going on, it was clear that he was just a friend and had no right to ask such questions.

Besides, he had his own concerns.

He worried that once some words were spoken, they couldn’t be taken back.

So, some things are better handled slowly.

After all, that person was not here, right? In the future, it would be Lin Xia who frequently appeared by her side helping her.

When Lin Xia went back to the bedroom to get money, she actually took it from Jade’s room.

During their trip to the provincial city, they hadn’t bought little, and upon returning, they purchased some items for the house. Having not earned money recently, they were only left with the $3500 and the money previously earned; now, only $1737 remained.

Lin Xia considered, certain that the business in the greenhouse couldn’t do poorly once started, so she kept that extra $200 aside, exactly enough to buy inventory with $1500.

By the time Lin Xia had taken the money and come out of the bedroom, Jiang Mingyuan could only stand up, take it, and say, "Lin Xia, I’ll be leaving first!"

Lin Xia sent Jiang Mingyuan to the door, not forgetting to admonish him, "Second brother! Be careful on the road!"

That time they went to Hezhou together to buy stock, there had been quite a few pickpockets on the train.

Actually, it should have been safer for her to go buy stock herself since she had Jade’s room.

But since she couldn’t manage second brother’s goods by herself, she had no choice but to trouble him.

Also, the robbery last time in the provincial city had left a shadow in her heart; now, she didn’t dare go to isolated places alone, fearing bad people might appear suddenly.

"All right! No worries! Take care!" Jiang Mingyuan replied with a light smile and a wave before he turned and left.

Lin Xia inexplicably felt that Jiang Mingyuan was acting strangely but couldn’t pinpoint what it was. Shaking her head, she stopped dwelling on these thoughts.

Lin Xia considered that as all her siblings were involved in their own troubles, she began to ponder doing something for herself; she wanted to attend night school at Yecheng University.

She knew a lot of people her age still resolutely sat through college entrance exams in hopes of getting into university.

But having only completed middle school and never attended a day of high school, she was certainly not just a little behind; getting into university seemed harder than reaching the heavens.

The current college entrance examination truly was like a million horses trying to cross a single-log bridge; those who comfortably studied in classrooms for three years might not even succeed, let alone someone like her who not only had missed school but had also nearly forgotten everything she once knew.

But she harbored the desire to enrich herself with more knowledge, so her only option available now was night school.

Lin Xia was someone who followed through on her thoughts immediately; she went right to Yecheng University to enroll. Without a household registration book, providing some gifts also got her past the checkpoint.

Afterward, Lin Xia began attending classes every weekday night.

Soon, Lin Xia met a girl sitting next to her, Ji Man; upon their first conversation, both felt they got along well.

Ji Man was a beautiful girl with an oval face, arched willow-like eyebrows, and bright, clear, lively eyes. Most notably, her nose was both high and straight.

She hadn’t got into university, and her family had subsequently secured a leisurely job for her in an enterprise.

However, to be promoted or achieve professional titles at work, she needed a diploma, which motivated her to attend night school.

Ji Man enjoyed spending time with Lin Xia, liking her straightforward and candid nature, unlike others at night school who, because of their jobs, had become smooth and harbored various cautious thoughts.

Ji Man was very cheerful, and Lin Xia also enjoyed spending time with her.

Seriously speaking, this was her first female friend since starting anew.

Thus, she cherished this friendship and was very serious about maintaining it.
