387: Chapter 387 The Village Entrance Aunt

Speaking of which, Lin Heng soon arrived at the village entrance.

Carrying big and small bags, he looked quite comical.

And this... also attracted the attention of the Village Entrance Aunties.

At the location of the village entrance,

Under a yellow fruit tree,

Several people were holding stools, gathered around a dusty stone table. On the table were peanuts, melon seeds, and so on. Some even held knitting needles and yarn, knitting scarves right there...

The women were chatting and laughing,

Discussing trivial household matters.

Talking about how their husbands were, and so on.

Mostly complaining, and then talking about how their children were...

They simply never stopped.

Being full of spirit, that's what you call positive!

And at this moment, upon noticing the arrival of Lin Heng and Lin Xiaoxiao, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Oh! Who is this?"

"Which family's young couple is back?"

A middle-aged woman quickly joked.

As soon as she spoke, the others also quickly noticed Lin Heng and Lin Xiaoxiao. They first smiled, and then they all started to retort with smiles.

"Heh heh?"

"Auntie Guihua, are you perhaps mistaken?"

"This is Lin Heng, and that's Xiaoxiao... You forgot after just one year?"

"Ah? So it's Lin Heng and Xiaoxiao..."

"Sigh... I thought they looked so familiar, they've grown up so much... Things change so fast!"

"I still remember when Lin Heng and the others were small enough to eat at our houses."

"Exactly, exactly. Lin Heng and Xiaoxiao were so cute back then... I even held them in my arms at the time. I never thought they'd be this grown up in the blink of an eye."

"..."

The women chatted and laughed.

When Lin Heng noticed these people, he also greeted them warmly.

"Aunties, Happy New Year! It's been over a year since I last saw you. I've come back to visit you all."

"Xiaoxiao, give the Aunties their red envelopes."

Lin Heng quickly instructed Lin Xiaoxiao.

In response, Xiaoxiao was quite diligent.

After all, these Aunties had genuinely helped them when they were little.

Even though their mouths could be a bit sharp, the affection was real!

Soon, Lin Xiaoxiao took out quite a few red envelopes and walked toward the group of middle-aged women.

She showed a sweet smile.

"Aunties, just a small token of my regard."

The red envelopes were thin, looking as if they contained nothing.

Seeing this, their complexions quickly changed slightly.

Their hearts ached, and they quickly spoke up:

"Hey, maybe you shouldn't. You are both students, how much money can you have? You should take them back. We really cannot accept this money!"

"Exactly, exactly. Lin Heng, aren't you graduating next year? I heard you even have student loans. Why don't you keep this money? It might be useful, no matter how little."

For someone at the level of a University Student like Lin Heng, they probably wouldn't dare to offer a mere few dozen yuan. They estimated there was probably only a hundred yuan inside.

Otherwise, if it was this thin, what else could it be?

It couldn't possibly be just a few yuan, right?

It would be better to bring candy instead.

Everyone would be happy eating that.

They truly did not dare to accept this money.

For others, perhaps they would sneer and haggle over the amount, but for Lin Heng...

They truly couldn't bring themselves to haggle.

Just holding the red envelope made their hearts sting.

They all refused, waving their hands repeatedly.

However, Lin Heng smiled slightly.

"No need, please just take them. I am already a junior now, right? I have a lot of extracurricular time, and I will have even more time later... This is all money I earned from part-time jobs, it's absolutely clean! Please just accept it."

"Besides, we remember the kindness you showed us when we were young. This money is my way of thanking you... Also, I only come back once a year, so this little bit of money is nothing."

Facing everyone's refusal, Lin Heng just waved his hand with a smile.

In response, Lin Xiaoxiao also said many kind words. She coquettishly stuffed the red envelopes into their arms.

"Oh dear, Aunties, please just accept these red envelopes. It's not much money anyway, don't worry. My brother might be earning money outside now!"

"This little bit of money means nothing to him!"

While speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao had already tucked the red envelopes into the other women's clothing, making them impossible to take out.

Even Cripple Wang, who had been lingering around the village entrance, was stuffed with one.

Seeing this, the crowd smiled bitterly.

Looking at Xiaoxiao's eager manner, they felt too embarrassed to say anything more...

But then they looked at Lin Heng's clothes, which were clearly cheap goods, already washed white, and their hearts softened.

"Sigh... When Lin Heng is about to leave later, we will secretly stuff the money back."

The crowd thought to themselves.

Anyway, even if they didn't accept it now, Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Heng wouldn't give up.

When it came to giving out red envelopes, even the elders in the village weren't as fierce as Lin Heng and Lin Xiaoxiao!

After a while, Lin Xiaoxiao returned to Lin Heng's side and made a perfect gesture.

Lin Heng smiled slightly.

"Well, we still have things to do, so we won't chat any longer for now. After we finish our family matters, we will come back to chat properly with the Aunties!"

Hearing this, the crowd quickly fell silent.

Sigh...

Poor children.

Their parents passed away when they were young.

But fortunately, both of them are successful now. The universities they got into are top-tier in the country; the County Magistrate even came to express condolences back then!

And I heard Lin Xiaoxiao's grades were also excellent. Many universities went to Lin Xiaoxiao's school, fighting tooth and nail just to get Lin Xiaoxiao to enroll through recommendation.

Good heavens...

When they first heard this news, they were all shocked.

It was already quite extraordinary for one person to have just one school offering recommendation admission, but all their famous schools came!

Even some schools that weren't as famous lost confidence and withdrew on their own.

How did the people here find out about this?

It was because those people had actually found their village through Lin Xiaoxiao's personal profile...

They were shocked for quite a while at that time!

During that period, people often came to their village to inquire about news, all wanting to settle the matter privately by offering Lin Xiaoxiao improper benefits to get her to attend their schools.

But later, those people naturally left disappointed.

After all, after searching for a long time, they hadn't even seen a single person.

Later they heard that some big shots publicly issued orders telling them to stop pursuing the matter, so it ended there.

But this incident still left a considerable shock among them.

"It's so good... Perhaps those two in heaven will be able to rest in peace if they see this situation..."

The crowd watched Lin Heng and Xiaoxiao's retreating figures and smiled slightly.

Until... they opened the red envelopes!
