Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 259
The homemade pickled vegetables were ready to eat, so I caught two fish from the stream and made a big pot of pickled fish. I also cooked a pot of mixed grain porridge for later use.
After everything was done, I soaked the vermicelli noodles I had traded for the fish, then ran to the stream to pick a small basket of green beans. After washing and chopping them, I stir-fried them with lard and added some scrambled eggs. Then I stir-fried the chopped vermicelli, added seasoning to make filling, and prepared to steam some vegetarian buns.
These buns would be lunch for the exam days, not too noticeable. Once the buns were steaming, I picked a lot of vegetables, and made a small bowl of mixed veggie salad. All set.
With everything ready, I heated a pot of water and washed myself by the hot spring at the back.
Looking at the hot spring pool close by, I thought to myself that after the college entrance exams, I must try this hot spring. I shouldn’t let the fear of becoming prettier and attracting trouble stop me from using it. Now that I’m strong enough, even if someone has bad intentions, I can handle it with sheer force.
After tidying myself up, I headed to the study upstairs, reviewed the subjects for tomorrow’s exams, then casually flipped open the Medicinal Properties Poem by the desk.
During this time, I memorized the whole Medicinal Properties Poem, but since I had no prior exposure to these, figuring it out on my own wasn’t enough. I’d still need a professional’s guidance later.
After these few days, I have to buy an acupoint chart to start memorizing the points, and also get a set of silver needles ready.
After finishing the tasks I set for today, I left the space to rest.
The next morning, it was still raining outside. Although not as heavy as last night, it was still quite a downpour, so I quickly washed up, prepared to head out early.
Just as I finished washing up and was ready to eat a bowl of mixed grain porridge with a tea egg and a bun, I heard someone knocking on the door.
Grabbing the umbrella He Jinxuan gave me, I headed to the door and opened it to see He Jinxuan standing outside, "Brother He, why did you come over so early?"
He Jinxuan saw Yu Xinyan come out and said, "Today there’s a factory vehicle to take you all to the city for the exam, no need to rush. Just finish breakfast and take the vehicle from the residential area entrance."
Hearing his words, possibly because no one cared for her like this in her past life, Yu Xinyan teared up a bit, "Thank you, Brother He."
He Jinxuan, not wanting her to feel burdened, said, "No problem, I just got the news and came over to let you know. You get ready, I have to go back to cook for those two little ones."
Yu Xinyan instinctively reached out to hold him, "Wait a moment."
She then turned and went back inside, found a clean small cloth bag, put six big buns inside, wrapped three tea eggs in oil paper, and put them in the bag. Then she brought it out and handed it to him, "Here, take these, they’re freshly steamed buns, just right for your breakfast."
He Jinxuan was about to decline, thinking these were probably meant for her exams, but before he could speak, Yu Xinyan said, "I made plenty, don’t say no. You should bring them back for Sili and Siyan to try too."
After saying this, she directly handed the bag to him, hiding her embarrassment, "Don’t just stand there, hurry back. The rain is so heavy, or the buns will get cold."
A warm feeling surged in He Jinxuan’s heart, "Alright, do well on your exams, I’ll treat you to something delicious afterward."
