Chapter 936: What Are You Whispering About

After afternoon classes, Xinyan was tidying up her books when Bai Aiwen came over: "Xinyan, I met someone."

Seeing her expression, Xinyan knew without asking: "You agreed?"

Bai Aiwen blushed: "He’s quite good-looking and takes good care of people. I’m not young anymore. Most importantly, he’s from Beijing. If we get together, I can work here directly in the future."

Xinyan couldn’t help but ask: "Did he promise you that?"

Bai Aiwen softly said "Mm": "The matchmaker said his family is well off and has some connections in Beijing."

Recalling the man’s eyes at noon, Xinyan reminded: "Marriage is a lifelong matter; we can’t be careless. It’s better to learn more about him."

Bai Aiwen nodded: "I will. Once it’s serious, I’ll bring him over for you all to meet."

Before Xinyan could reply, Zhang Zhaodi came over, smiling and said to them: "What are you whispering about?"

Bai Aiwen didn’t want too many people to know about her potential match yet, thinking to wait until the relationship stabilized first.

The matchmaker was an auntie from the school’s logistics department, who said the family wanted a well-educated daughter-in-law, which is why she was asked to help.

But that day, Bai Aiwen sensed that the man’s mother subtly disdained her for being from outside the city.

Having been abandoned by her previous partner once, she was a bit insecure, so she didn’t want to make it public too soon.

Xinyan naturally wouldn’t gossip, as it was someone else’s business: "We’re talking about the National Day party."

Upon hearing that, Zhang Zhaodi said: "I heard the class program is set, but the costumes are a bit troublesome."

Ever since Qiao Shanmei left school, such matters fell on Cui Haili, the publicity committee member.

Xinyan continued organizing her books: "We need to wear a uniform costume, right?"

Zhang Zhaodi nodded: "There are twenty people in the program. If we need uniform costumes, we’d have to borrow. The school can’t be relied on; we asked, and they don’t have enough."

Xinyan looked over at Cui Haili, who was also tidying up her books nearby: "Sister Cui, is our program confirmed?"

Hearing the question, everyone looked at Cui Haili.

Cui Haili smiled and said: "It’s mostly set, but we still need to discuss with the counselor. Our class has twenty people participating, and the costume issue needs to be resolved first."

With that, everyone paired up and walked out.

Since Xinyan had an exam at the medical school tomorrow, she didn’t stay in the dorm but returned to her courtyard early.

Returning, she closed the courtyard door, shut all the windows and doors, and entered her space.

She steamed some rice, stewed a fish, and sliced some previously braised meat, enjoying a hearty meal.

After tidying up the kitchen, she harvested the ripe grains from the fields and planted the batch of two-year-old saplings she’d transferred into the space a few days ago. Because there were many, they were planted quite densely.

Since it was just a temporary transition in the space, once they reached their third year, they’d be stored in the warehouse. After the autumn harvest, the barren slopes at Chongyang Village should be ready. She’d then store them in a warehouse and have Ling Tianze find a truck to transport them for planting directly. With her Space Stream Water’s aid, they should bear fruit next year.

After planting all the trees, she picked a batch of tea leaves from the slope, planning to process them for future use. After all, for the matters she was planning, social interactions would be inevitable. Tea is a high-end yet low-key gift.

Once she finished attending to matters in the space, she took a bath in the hot spring pool.

Because she had an exam in the morning, she reviewed the key points again to ensure there would be no mistakes.
