Chapter 26 Birthday



Su Qingmeng spent a month reviewing politics, history, Chinese, and geography, and then started studying mathematics.

Zhou Wenxi and Tian Ke would sometimes come to see her and find her reading a high school textbook. They were a little curious. "Why are you reading a textbook?"

Su Qingmeng said, "I'm bored. I happened to bring my high school textbooks with me when I went to the countryside. I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well study. If I can become a teacher in the future, I can try to do that."

They thought it made sense. There were only a few novel collections available for reading at the educated youth center, and they had read them over and over again and were bored, so they also borrowed textbooks to study.

The river was covered with thick ice, and Lin Xiuyao came to find Su Qingmeng to go ice skating.

"You're almost becoming a nerd by studying every day. Let me take you out to play." He was holding a sled.

Su Qingmeng followed him to the river. The weather was nice today, and there were already quite a few people on the river, mostly children. Lin Xiuyao's nephew Tiezhu was also there, and waved to them when he saw them, but he didn't come over.

Lin Xiuyao let Su Qingmeng sit on the sled and he pulled her along. As they walked, they picked up speed. "Hold on tight!" Su Qingmeng clung to the sled tightly, her heart racing. She was a little nervous. The sled only had a wooden plank underneath and no guardrails. She was afraid she'd fall.

After skating a few laps, Lin Xiuyao stopped and asked, "How is it? Are you used to the speed?" Su Qingmeng nodded excitedly. She was a little nervous at first, but gradually relaxed, like riding a carousel.

"Okay," Lin Xiuyao put the sled on a high place on the sloped ice surface, "then let's slide." The children are all here, and they can slide a long way with a single slide.

"Let me go first and show you how." He sat on the sled, "Push me, hard." Su Qingmeng went forward and pushed him, and Lin Xiuyao slid down about 50 meters.

After the ice sled stopped, he walked back and asked, "Is it okay?" Su Qingmeng said yes, and she sat on the ice sled.

"Hold on tight, I'm pushing," she felt a force coming from behind, and she rushed down, feeling as fast as lightning, like riding a roller coaster.

The ice sled slowly stopped. Su Qingmeng wanted to ride it a few more times. She hadn't been to an amusement park for a long time and she experienced the feeling of adrenaline rush again.

Lin Xiuyao came over and asked, "How was it? Was it fun?" Su Qingmeng happily said, "It was fun." So the two of them played for the whole morning.

I went to Lin Xiuyao's house for lunch. He stewed a catfish and brought it to me, saying, "Try it. This is a recipe I learned specifically for you: 'Catfish stewed with eggplant, it'll make the old man sick.' Have you heard of it?"

Su Qingmeng shook her head. She took a bite and said, "Delicious." The catfish had few bones and was tender, while the eggplant was soft and tender. Paired with the Northeastern soybean paste, it was delicious. Lin Xiuyao's cooking skills were improving rapidly.

Lin Xiuyao: "If you like it, I'll buy some more. This fish is easy to catch in winter, and many people come here to sell it."

"I want to go fishing too," said Su Qingmeng. She had seen videos of ice fishing in modern times and wanted to try it.

"You're so quick to act! Fishing requires waiting all the time, it's pretty cold."

Su Qingmeng said she could wear more clothes, and Lin Xiuyao couldn't refuse her. "I don't have a fishing rod. Wait a few days and I'll make one for you." He also wanted to ask someone for advice, as he didn't know how to fish in winter.

After dinner, Lin Xiuyao washed the dishes while Su Qingmeng read a book on the kang, an algebra textbook from the mathematics, physics, chemistry and automation series.

This was a gift she gave to Lin Xiuyao. There were notes he made next to it. It seemed that he was also studying. Lin Xiuyao was better at science, so he would probably choose science in the college entrance examination.

As she watched, she felt sleepy. The room was too warm and she felt sleepy after eating. When she woke up, it was an hour later. Lin Xiuyao was reading a book next to her.

She was covered with a quilt, which should have been covered by Lin Xiuyao. Su Qingmeng just looked at him. Lin Xiuyao was reading very seriously. Boys who focus on studying are very handsome, and the outline of his profile is clear and handsome.

After a while, Lin Xiuyao found that she was awake, so he asked, "Do you want some water?" Su Qingmeng was a little thirsty, and she said, "Yes," and sat up.

Lin Xiuyao handed her a glass of water with dried hawthorns soaked in it. It tasted sweet and sour. Well, there was also sugar in it.

After drinking the water, Su Qingmeng continued reading. If she didn't understand something, she would ask Lin Xiuyao. He was better at mathematics than herself. After all, she had graduated for many years and still studied liberal arts in modern times.

Lin Xiuyao cooked dinner again in the evening. He made noodles and said, "Su Qingmeng, happy birthday!" after serving them.

Su Qingmeng looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. The third day of the eleventh lunar month was indeed her birthday, the same as the original owner's.

She even forgot that today was her birthday, and she was so busy hibernating that she didn't even know what day it was.

Su Qingmeng ate the bowl of noodles in silence. Since her parents passed away, no one made longevity noodles for her.

Her vision began to blur and she blinked, tears falling.

Lin Xiuyao wiped her tears and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Su Qingmeng felt a little useless. "I'm just too touched."

Lin Xiuyao looked into her sparkling eyes, which were like a clear spring. He wanted to kiss her, and this time he didn't ask, but just went ahead and kissed her.

Su Qingmeng let him get closer without dodging until she felt a warm touch on her lips.

Seeing that she did not refuse, Lin Xiuyao deepened the kiss. Their lips and tongues intertwined until Su Qingmeng was out of breath, and then he left.

Su Qingmeng's cheeks flushed slightly. This was her first kiss. In modern times, she had been working hard for her career. Although some people pursued her, she never agreed. Unexpectedly, she met her first love in the 1970s.

Listening to Lin Xiuyao's heavy breathing, Su Qingmeng's heartbeat quickened and she felt a little nervous.

Lin Xiuyao held her in his arms, his excitement slowly calming down. "Well, continue eating."

Both of them were a little shy and finished their meal quietly. Lin Xiuyao handed her a wooden box, "Birthday present". She opened it and found a jade bracelet, crystal clear and looked very valuable.

Lin Xiuyao put it on her. The emerald green bracelet set off her slender and fair wrist. Lin Xiuyao stroked her hand and asked, "Do you like it?"

Su Qingmeng nodded and said, "I like it." Who doesn't like expensive jewelry? "You can't wear it outside," Lin Xiuyao warned.

The two of them cleaned up and washed the dishes, and Lin Xiuyao sent Su Qingmeng back to the educated youth site.

After Su Qingmeng entered the room and lay on the bed, she felt a little sweet in her heart and her heartbeat was a little fast. It turned out that the feeling of being in love was so good, making people satisfied and happy.

Today happened to be Saturday, so Su Qingmeng sold 15 roses to the peddler as a gift to Lin Xiuyao. She bought rose seeds from the grocery store and planted a garden full of roses.

The fish in the warehouse had been sold out, so she bought 50 baits and went into the farm to fish. She caught one fish every minute. There were more Class C fish, so she kept them for food. She didn't stop fishing until she had 15 high-level fish. At this time, there were only a few baits left, so she sold the fish to the peddler.

This operation can get at least thirty edible fish for free, which is also a profit.
