Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377: Chapter 311: The Extraordinary Culinary Skills

Rong Yan smiled, "We planted a few watermelon seedlings in the yard, and this is the result."

Song Xiuxiu: ...

Are these watermelons really that delicious?

If they were sold outside, she would have saved money to buy one for her family to enjoy after inquiring about it.

But now... since the watermelons were grown by Rong Yan’s family, she felt embarrassed to make such a request.

At that moment, Qin Mei came in with a teapot.

Rong Yan took it from her and set it on the table, casually picking up a piece of watermelon for her, "Here, have some watermelon."

Qin Mei accepted it, feeling uneasy about staying there, thinking that Madam Rong’s friend might have something to discuss with her, "Sister-in-law, I’ll go back to my room."

"Hold on, take a few more pieces," Rong Yan said, stuffing several pieces into her hands without waiting for Qin Mei to refuse.

Qin Mei, cradling the watermelon, turned and walked out.

"Rong Yan, this little sister of yours is so well-behaved, nothing like my cheeky sister." Really, she couldn’t compare them; whenever she did, she felt like throwing her own sister away.

Rong Yan raised an eyebrow, she had a sister?

But in those days, it was indeed common for many families to have several children.

It seems her family was the exception, with only herself.

"Your sister is quite young, isn’t she?"

Song Xiuxiu immediately said, "Not very, my little sister is only thirteen, five years younger than me and seven years younger than my brother."

Rong Yan: ...

Song Xiuxiu was a very talkative person. In a future era, this girl could be called a social butterfly.

Her mouth never stopped, starting from her sister and then moving on to her brother.

And then, out of the blue, she said, "It’s just too bad you’re married, Rong Yan. Otherwise, my brother..." Realizing she misspoke, she quickly spat twice and swiftly changed the subject, "What I mean is, even if you were not married, I couldn’t possibly match up to you..." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Rong Yan: ...

However, she didn’t intend to continue on this topic, so she shifted the conversation, "You were sent down to the countryside for three years?"

Song Xiuxiu nodded, "Yes, I was in the Northwest for three years. It was really tough, but luckily, my brother and I were assigned to the same place."

"Both of you went from your family?" Rong Yan felt it was a bit strange.

Logically speaking, even if Song Xiuxiu’s brother had gone three years ago, Song Xiuxiu, who was only fifteen at the time, wouldn’t have needed to go as well, right?

"Yes! My brother and I went together. Actually, I didn’t have to go, but my cousin was frail and it was her turn to be sent down. So my uncle pleaded with my mother to let me replace my cousin. At the time, I definitely didn’t agree, but my mother did... so, I had to agree too. Anyway, I was with my brother, and I thought I could accept it."

At the time, that’s really what she thought, as she had always been close to her brother.

She thought it’d be nice to be together.

But once there, she realized how tough the days were, endless labor every day without a decent meal to eat.

Luckily, she was always an optimistic person.

So, when returning to the city seemed hopeless, she persisted.

This year, once college entrance exams were reinstated, though she didn’t pass the first time, she and her elder brother were both able to pass them and return to the city.

Listening to this, Rong Yan had considerable respect for the siblings.

They were impressive for being able to rely on themselves to return to the city through the college entrance exams, without depending on their family.

"Which university did you get into?" she asked with some curiosity.

Song Xiuxiu answered happily, "I got into the normal university, but my brother is incredible, Brother Gang got into Jing City University. He could have gotten in last year but we missed the chance. Luckily, this year he finally made it and we returned to the city."

There were subsidies for university students, so they didn’t have to worry about tuition anymore. If they spent sparingly, they would probably make it through until graduation.

Once graduated, life would certainly get better.
