Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 345

They got off halfway through the journey. Xinyan helped them with their luggage to the door. Mr. Du waved at Xinyan with a smile, "My young friend, may our paths cross again."

After the old couple got off, she was the only one left in the small compartment, reflecting on what she had learned over the past few days. This trip down south was truly rewarding.

Following Mr. Du had taught her a lot. There were parts she previously didn’t quite understand from reading, but with Mr. Du’s explanations, she instantly got it.

It was like a moment of enlightenment, as if she’d opened up her energy channels.

After another day on the train, she finally reached her destination.

After getting off the train, she wasn’t in a rush to find a guesthouse; she first asked around to get a sense of the place.

The next day, she first found a place to sell the fruits and fish from her space, earning over three thousand yuan. Then she changed her outfit and location to sell the grains she had, making another two thousand, totaling five thousand yuan.

Including the money she already had, she now had over ten thousand yuan.

Because time was tight, Xinyan had a very clear goal, yet it took a lot of effort to get everything done.

Besides acquiring a batch of electronics, she bought fabrics, ready-made clothes, and socks, spending not only her own money but also all the cash He Jinxuan had given her.

With most things settled, she bought a return ticket at the station ahead of time, then took care of the remaining matters. Luckily, she finished everything just in time to catch the train, wasting no time.

These past few days had been exhaustingly hard, and as soon as she got on the train, she started catching up on sleep.

She hadn’t told Han Jingchen about her trip south, afraid he would worry. However, before leaving the Mechanical Factory, she did call him, telling him she was going to a classmate’s house for a few days and wouldn’t be able to pick up the phone. She’d call him when she got back.

Han Jingchen was constantly keeping an eye on Xinyan’s affairs. When he saw Yu Xinyan’s scores had been released, he promptly used his connections. Although things could be handled, the school needed verification to proceed. Han Jingchen naturally had no objections and awaited the news.

However, he didn’t heed Xinyan’s advice and made two calls, neither of which reached her, leaving him somewhat worried.

He thought if he couldn’t get through again, he’d send someone over to check out the situation.

Fortunately, after returning to the provincial capital, Xinyan immediately called the sanatorium. When Han Jingchen heard the voice, "Dad, it’s me, Xinyan."

Han Jingchen, upon hearing his daughter’s voice, said, "Yanyan, it’s such a relief to hear from you. Any later, and I would have sent someone to look for you."

Xinyan chuckled, "Dad, didn’t I tell you I was going to a classmate’s place for a few days? What’s the rush?"

Han Jingchen, a bit embarrassed, quickly changed the subject, "Yanyan, your scores are out. The education bureau and school must have received the news too. Provincial science top scorer, under the name Han Xinyan."

Upon hearing this, Xinyan was deeply moved. Without strong connections, this couldn’t have been done. Suddenly, she felt a pang of sadness, knowing that accomplishing this must have cost more than just favors but also achievements, for her return must have involved much sacrifice.

She was right in her guess. After all, this wasn’t a minor matter. His affairs were known by those above, and although it was a special case, it was exchanged for previous achievements.

Han Jingchen hadn’t heard his daughter’s voice for a while, "Yanyan, what’s wrong? Did you hear what I said?"

Han Xinyan, somewhat choked with emotion, felt both the fulfillment of her dream and being touched by her father’s love, "Dad, thank you."

Upon hearing his daughter’s thanks, Han Jingchen’s eyes also welled up, "You never need to thank your dad, because you are the treasure held dearly in his hands."
