The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 31 Rocking Chair

That evening, Lin Yan handed the fabric she had bought to her mother. Lin's mother touched the lilac-colored satin fabric with great affection, not only because the fabric was beautiful, but also because her daughter and son had thought of her.

"Yan'er, you've bought so many things, you must have spent all the money you earned." He took out some loose silver from a box beside the bed and gave it to her. "You're out of money, aren't you? Here, take this!"

Lin Yan declined, "No need, Mother! I have more; Father gave me some before."

"Hmm, that's good! Look how nice this fabric is. I wore this kind of fabric when I got married." Lin's mother admired the fabric again.

“Mine looks good too. Hahahaha!” Lin’s father also laughed heartily.

Lin's mother squinted at him, her face expressionless.

Lin's father: Hahaha... Uh... Cough cough cough! He dared not speak!

Lin's mother looked at Lin Yan tenderly, "Perfect, I'll make you both a new outfit!"

In the days that followed, the Lin family lived a well-ordered life. Lin's father was working on furniture orders, and recently, more and more people from Zhangjiawan had come to visit because of his reputation, so Lin's father's schedule was full.

When Lin's mother was weaving bamboo mats or making clothes, Lin Yan would help out, but all she got in return was a bag with crooked stitching, which made Lin's mother laugh out loud.

Lin Yan felt embarrassed, realizing she really didn't have much talent in this area. She decided to just stick to making dried fruit with Lin Yu.

Lin Yan and Lin Yu processed the apricots and peaches, dried them into fruit, and went to town every three days to sell them. Each time they would pack more than 100 packs, earning about two taels of silver.

After selling twice, Lin Yan felt she could put in more effort, so she used her supernatural ability to grow a few more fruit trees, hoping to buy more while it was in season and save up enough money to build a house.

Summer, the rainy season, is just around the corner. Without storms, this thatched house doesn't seem like a problem. But with mosquitoes and other insects in the summer, a house that's drafty and leaky won't do.

In late summer (June), just before Lin Yu was about to start school, Zhang Lixin brought Zhang Peixin to visit again.

"Lin Yan, I'm here!" Zhang Peixin called out to Lin Yan, who was drying apricots, as soon as she got off the donkey cart.

"Sister Peixin." Lin Yan waved. Lin Yu obediently greeted her as well!

Zhang Peixin leaned over and pinched Lin Yu's cheek first: "Ah Yu is getting cuter and cuter, he'll definitely grow up to be a handsome young man! Hahahaha!"

Lin Yu quickly hid behind Lin Yan, "Don't pinch my cheeks! Sister Peixin!"

"Peixin! Cough!" Zhang Lixin coughed a warning at her from behind.

Zhang Peixin calmed down, stuck out her tongue at Lin Yan, winked, and gestured for her to glance behind her.

When Lin Yan saw Zhang Lixin, he nodded and greeted her. Lin Yan nodded back, her eyes and brows full of smiles. She went over and took Zhang Peixin's arm, saying, "Sister Peixin, your furniture has been finished for a long time, and we've been waiting for you to come and see it!"

"No rush, what you're making now is dried fruit, right? I've finished all the ones you gave me before. They're sweet and sour and delicious. I've wanted to come again for a long time, but my brother has been studying and hasn't had time to bring me. Besides, he even stole some of the dried fruit you gave me!" She said, frowning and looking sullen.

Zhang Lixin touched his nose, pretending not to hear.

Lin Yan found it amusing. "Since you're back now, take some back with you when you leave. I've finished making this batch too." She grabbed a handful from the shelf and handed it to her.

Zhang Peixin took one and put it in her mouth. "That's it, this is the taste. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

"Let's go! Let's go look at furniture!"

Lin Yan took Zhang Peixin to see the finished furniture. The six-foot-tall nanmu wardrobe with plum blossom patterns was made on the narrower side, so although the wardrobe was tall, it looked elegant and refined overall.

The cabinet has two layers, each with a horizontal bar and clothes rack made of nanmu wood.

"It looks great!" Zhang Peixin took out a clothes hanger and fiddled with it. "And having this hanger makes it so convenient to put clothes away!"

“That’s right, it’s beautifully done!” Zhang Lixin echoed from behind.

"I've been looking forward to the rocking chair for ages! Show it to me!" She had even ordered a rocking chair, but she had only seen the blueprints and had never actually seen the real thing.

"This is it!" Lin Yan pointed to several chairs placed elsewhere; her father had made four rocking chairs recently. "You can try sitting on one!"

Zhang Peixin picked one to sit on, and suddenly it wobbled, startling her. "Hey, why is it moving! This chair is unstable!"

"Try leaning back! Relax!" Lin Yan held onto the back of her chair.

Zhang Peixin leaned back in a semi-reclining position. The bamboo weaving in the middle of the chair had a slight elasticity, allowing it to conform well to her body.

As she relaxed, the chair rocked back and forth with her movements, and Zhang Peixin found it increasingly novel. "Wow, this is so interesting! This chair rocks back and forth, and it's quite comfortable to lie on!"

"Looks good! I'll try it too!" Zhang Lixin sat down in a rocking chair next to him and started to experience it.

"I'm almost falling asleep lying here, it's so relaxing!" Zhang Peixin said, closing her eyes and feeling the chair sway.

"Great! It must be so comfortable to take a nap in this cool spot. I want one too!" Zhang Lixin touched the chair, quite intrigued. "You designed all of this? Your ideas are amazing!"

"Of course not, I've seen others do it too! It's just that nobody uses it here."

Lin Yan thought to herself: It's only a thousand years from now...

Zhang Lixin and Lin Yan also ordered a rocking chair, and after settling their wages, the total came to 400 cash.

Zhang Lixin looked around and asked, "Are you the only one here with Lin Yu? Uncle Lin Hai isn't home!"

“My dad and mom went to the mountains to cut wood today, they’re not here! What happened?” Lin Yan explained.

"Oh! I was hoping Uncle Lin Hai could lend a hand; I'm afraid I can't move this cabinet by myself."

Lin Yan smiled knowingly, "Moving the cabinets? I can do it myself, I don't need to wait for my dad."

Zhang Lixin quickly refused, "No need, no need, I'll wait here for a while!" Lin Yan is a thin and weak little girl, and she can't lift the cabinet by herself. If she loses control, she might hurt someone!

"That's right, Lin Yan! This cabinet is so big, and it's made of solid wood. Let's wait a bit, or we can find someone strong to help. We don't want it to fall on you!" Zhang Peixin quickly dissuaded Lin Yan when she heard her about moving the cabinet.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm very strong! You can ask A-Yu if you don't believe me!"

Seeing Lin Yan's look and Zhang Lixin looking at him, Lin Yu quickly nodded, "Indeed! My sister is very strong!" In reality, he thought: She's more than just strong, she can make a cabinet fly up by itself for you to see!

Seeing that Zhang Lixin was still hesitating, Lin Yan quickly said, "Hurry up, don't waste time!" As she spoke, she walked to the cabinet, put it down, and lifted the front.

Seeing that Lin Yan quickly laid the cabinet down and was about to lift it, Zhang Lixin, no longer in shock, quickly helped, lifting the other end, and the two of them moved the cabinet onto the cart.

After moving the cabinets, Zhang Lixin finally came to his senses. Lin Yan had been carrying him the whole time. "Your strength... uh... is really great!" But this isn't right, you're only twelve or thirteen years old! Zhang Lixin was stunned, feeling shocked again.

"Hahahaha! You weren't scared, were you? I'm just naturally strong!" Lin Yan laughed heartily.

The Zhang siblings were clearly quite shocked!

Seeing this, Lin Yu's lips twitched: Sigh... I had such a hard time hiding it!

After moving the furniture, Zhang Peixin said she wanted to buy some dried fruit before leaving. Lin Yan gave them a few bags of dried fruit without asking for money, saying it was a free gift with the furniture purchase.

Zhang Lixin then told Lin Yan about A Yu's school start date in a couple of days before saying goodbye and leaving.
