Chapter 6 Jade Pendant
"Nuannuan, I have already arranged the school for you. You can continue to attend the second year of high school after the semester starts."
After dinner, He Yunzhou said as the three of them sat around the sofa in the living room chatting.
Before he came back, he had already arranged for Lin Nuan to go to school, which was also something the family had discussed on the way back.
Lin Nuan is 16 years old this year. She was a freshman in the town’s high school before, and was promoted directly to the second year of high school after school started. It is still summer vacation now, and there is still more than half a month before school starts.
She could just adapt to the environment. She didn't expect that in her previous life, she had studied hard for 19 years from kindergarten to university graduation. Although she couldn't go back to the time before liberation, she still had to pick up the high school textbooks again and review them carefully. She didn't know how much high school knowledge she had lost.
Although she was not a top student in her previous life, her grades were excellent. Now it was the 1980s, and the high school textbooks could not be more difficult than those in the 21st century. Besides, mathematics was nothing more than formulas and laws, so she was still very confident.
"Okay, thank you, Dad. Do I need to live in the school after school starts?"
In her previous life, she lived in school during junior high school, high school and college. This time she doesn’t want to live in the school anymore, but if the school is far from home, then she has no choice but to live in the school.
Most of the schools arranged by He Yunzhou were schools for children in military areas, and the schools were not far from the family compounds.
"I'll take you to the school tomorrow when I have time. The school is not far from home. You can live on campus or not. It's up to you to decide. If you don't want to live on campus, I'll buy you a bicycle in a couple of days so that it will be convenient for you to go back and forth."
"Then I won't live on campus. I still prefer living at home." Lin Nuan said after thinking for a while.
It is more convenient to live at home. She also doesn't like living in school. She had to live in school in her previous life because the school was too far from home.
"Okay, let your mother accompany you to buy a bicycle in a few days, and you can choose one you like." He Yunzhou nodded. He still respected his daughter's decision.
"Thank you, Dad!" Lin Nuan happily hugged He Yunzhou's arm.
The next day, Gu Yunzhou took Lin Nuan to school. The school was not big, but the environment was very good, with green trees and a spacious playground. Lin Nuan walked around and was very satisfied with the school.
After returning home, Lin Nuan couldn't wait to dig out her old high school textbooks and began to review. She found that although she had forgotten some knowledge points, she could recall them as long as she took a quick look. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that resuming her studies was not too difficult.
He Yunzhou is now in a high position and does not need to train or go on missions every day like his soldiers. He just handles some things in his own office.
This way, there is a lot of free time every day. In order to help Wang Xiaoli get familiar with life in the military area more quickly, I will take her for walks when I have time, so that she can get familiar with the environment and the people in the family compound.
Even Lin Nuan was often dragged along. Every time they went out, she felt that her face was almost frozen from smiling. Moreover, her own mother and step-father were talking and laughing affectionately, while she was like a 1,000-watt light bulb, so bright that people could not ignore her. After following them out a few times, when the two of them wanted to go out for a walk or go shopping together, she would not follow them no matter how they were called. She was determined to be a good and sensible daughter.
A few days later, Wang Xiaoli began to plan the yard. She planted flowers on the east side with the jujube trees and planned to plant some seasonal vegetables on the west side.
Every day after get off work, He Yunzhou would turn over the unturned land in the yard. It only took two or three days in total, and the entire yard was fully planned.
Wang Xiaoli also feeds eight hens and two roosters in the west corner, but they are all just chicks now and it is not certain how many of them can be raised.
Lin Nuan has been living a very comfortable life since she moved to the staff housing complex. Every day, apart from studying, she helps her mother with the yard, sowing seeds, and planting flowers. After all, studying requires a combination of work and rest, and she doesn't want to become a nerd.
She was helping her mother plant flowers that day.
"Where is the jade pendant you always wore around your neck? I haven't seen you wearing it since you fainted that time. It's the only thing your father left you. You must keep it well. After all, it's a thought."
The mind of this body of hers had changed long ago, so how would she know what kind of jade pendant there was!
You can only play it safe for now and get away with it.
"Oh, I put it away because I was worried about losing it. I have too many things and I haven't sorted them out in the past two days. I have been too busy recently and forgot about it. I will go back and look for it when I am done."
Lin Nuan knew from a young age that the jade pendant was the only thing her biological father left her, so she has always cherished it.
When Wang Xiaoli heard her say that she had put it away and had not had time to find it and take it with her, she thought that she was indeed very busy recently, so she believed it. However, she was still a little worried.
"Don't do it. Go back to your room and look for it now. Don't lose it."
Lin Nuan had no choice but to say “hmm” and stand up and pat the dirt off her hands. “I’ll go back to my room and look for it.”
Then she trotted back to the room and packed her things by herself. She remembered clearly that she had never seen any jade pendant.
In her memory, there really is one, and it seems that the original owner wore it around her neck every day and treasured it very much.
She sat at the dressing table and worried, carefully recalling her memories of the jade pendant. She thought that when she had time she could look for it or buy a similar one, which should be able to cope with the situation.
Her mind was full of thoughts about the jade pendant, and suddenly she felt her chest getting hot. She quickly unbuttoned her shirt and found a mole on her chest, and it was that mole that was getting hot.
She looked at herself in the mirror carefully and slowly touched the mole. When her index finger just touched the mole, she suddenly felt dizzy.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment. She was standing in an empty yard with a luxurious-looking villa in front of her.
Did she think she was dreaming?
I reached out and pinched my thigh hard. "Hiss," it hurts so much. It wasn't a dream.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of the magical artifact golden finger that most of the time-traveling army must have - space.
After just a moment of silence, a surge of ecstasy came over him.
But it was broad daylight outside. Her mother had just asked her to go back to the house to look for the jade pendant. If she couldn't find it, her mother would definitely come looking for her.
Lin Nuan panicked instantly, and tried desperately to recall her previous experience of reading novels. She thought about getting out, and sure enough, he returned to his room, still sitting on the chair at the dressing table.
Looking at the closed door, I was thankful that I was not discovered. I wanted to pat my chest, but then I remembered that my hand had touched the mole just now, so I entered the space and didn’t dare to pat it.
