Chapter 26: The Treasure



In the old house of the Sheng family, Nanqiao stayed in the house alone after Shen Nian went to watch the fun.

But Nanqiao didn't stay there for long, and there was another noise coming from the back window. Nanqiao didn't close the window, so he asked directly, "Who is it?"

The person outside the window whispered "It's me", and the next moment he opened the window, turned over and walked into the house, and applied medicine to Nanqiao.

"Why are you here so early?" Nanqiao asked Sheng Yanchuan who was applying medicine to her.

"Most of the villagers went to watch the fun, so I came here early."

Nanqiao nodded when he heard this. It seems like a big deal.

"This is for you," Sheng Yanchuan said as he pulled out a paper package from his arms.

Nanqiao took it with confusion, opened it and asked, "What is it?"

The paper package was opened, revealing a long dress with a white background and blue flowers. Compared with the red and green dresses of this era, it is more like a modern chiffon dress, which is cool but not exaggerated and conspicuous.

Nanqiao looks like she likes it

"Where are you from? You're so pretty!" Nanqiao looked at Sheng Yanchuan with stars in his eyes.

"When we travel long distances, we sometimes secretly bring back some things from the south. This was brought back today by another comrade from our unit. It seems to be from Hong Kong. I thought it looked good, so I brought it back for you. Do you like it?"

"I like it." Nanqiao gestured with the skirt, "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Sheng Yanchuan looked at Nanqiao who was happy to receive the gift and was very satisfied.

"But won't it be expensive? I'll give you the money. It's not easy for you to earn money." Nanqiao said as she put down her skirt and moved towards the closet.

Sheng Yanchuan watched Nanqiao jump off the bed, worried that she would fall and quickly stepped forward to protect her.

The money is not in the closet, but the closet is big enough to block her from taking things out of the space.

"I don't want it, this is for you" Sheng Yanchuan refused

"That won't work. If it was really brought back from Hong Kong, it would cost more than 100 yuan." This is just Nanqiao's estimate. This style of fabric can be sold for 200 yuan.

Nanqiao took out 15 big unity notes and handed them to Sheng Yanchuan, "I don't know the exact amount, this is 150 yuan, if it's not enough, just consider it as me taking advantage of you."

Nanqiao said with a smile, but no matter how she handed it to him, the other party refused to accept it.

"I don't want it! This is a gift for you! If you keep doing this, I'll leave!" Sheng Yanchuan refused firmly.

Seeing this, Nanqiao had no choice but to give up. After thinking for a while, he took the money back and pretended to rummage in the closet for a long time. He found a Longines diving watch from the space. It was a black and white model from the 1970s, which was very in line with modern aesthetics. Nanqiao bought it specifically after knowing that he would be transmigrating into Book 7. It just happened to come in handy at this moment.

"This is for you. It's waterproof and has a chronograph." Nanqiao opened the box and handed it to Sheng Yanchuan.

Seeing that Sheng Yanchuan still refused, Nanqiao pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't accept it, I don't want the skirt anymore."

Hearing this, Sheng Yanchuan stopped being stubborn for fear that she would be angry, and asked in a low voice, "Are we exchanging gifts?"

Nanqiao rolled his eyes at him, stretched out his hand to weigh the watch and asked, "Do you want it?"

"Yes, then help me put it on!" Sheng Yanchuan took off the watch on his wrist, stretched his arm in front of Nanqiao, and looked at Nanqiao eagerly, waiting for her to put the watch on him.

Nanqiao was somewhat helpless about this, so he held his arm and jumped to the bedside to sit down, then took out the watch from the box and put it on him. Sheng Yanchuan was overjoyed wearing Nanqiao's watch.

"Are you so happy? It's just a watch."

"Of course I'm happy. What Qiaoqiao brought me is different from others."

Nanqiao smiled slightly when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

As for Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao, he only has a good impression of them at the moment, but it is hard to say how much he likes them....

So in terms of the so-called gift-giving, Nanqiao is now happier because she likes the skirt, not because the skirt was given by Sheng Yanchuan...

"And this, the cake that Shen Zhiqing wanted, you can give it to her later." Sheng Yanchuan put another package on the table in Nanqiao

"Okay, how much is this? I'll tell her tonight and she'll send it to you tomorrow at noon."

“These are only 10 yuan.”

"good"

The two chatted for a few more sentences until they heard Shen Nian's voice outside the yard. Sheng Yanchuan then said that he should go to bed early and climbed out the window.

"Qiaoqiao, you're not asleep yet?" Chen Nian shouted outside the Nanqiao window.

"No, come in."

"Qiaoqiao, let me tell you, today was absolutely wonderful!" Shen Nian said excitedly.

"Tell me about it" Shen Nian was so excited that Nanqiao was also a little curious.

"When I arrived, the village chief had just arrived..."

Shen Nian told Nanqiao the story in a concise manner, and at the end she complained, "I really don't know how a girl can be so dirty. I heard from the aunt next to me that they went there early, and at first they were pulled to the door by those female educated youths to see. There was a sour smell as soon as they approached the door. She deserved to move out alone."

"If we move out now, we'll probably be isolated," Nanqiao said.

"It's more than just isolation. I'm afraid that after this, I won't be able to get any good treatment in the village. After all, who wants to be with such a stinky person?" Shen Nian said with disdain.

Nanqiao sighed, feeling a little disgusted. He really didn't know how the original owner could get along with such a stupid and ignorant person.

"By the way, Qiaoqiao, when I went to the educated youth camp just now, the female educated youth camp leader Sister Jiang saw me and asked us to go to the educated youth camp for dinner on our day off. She said she wanted to find a chance for everyone to have dinner together and get to know each other. Is your foot okay?"

"Okay, two or three days should be enough. I'm not in so much pain today."
