Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Pei Yanyan went out, the blush on her face continued until she found Niu Nan who was taking notes in a notebook in the shed in the backyard of the village chief's house.

"Pei Zhiqing, why are you here?" Niu Nan looked curiously at this man who should have been either working or taking care of mushrooms at the Zhiqing Institute.

"Ahem, my apprentice came to me this morning and said that there was a layer of white fuzz on the fungus strains these past two days. I was worried that it might have gotten moldy, so I came to you to take a look." She didn't dare to say that her apprentice said it was mycelium.

"Oh, really? This may not be mycelium. Let's go and take a look." Logically speaking, the temperature in Province C has been just right these days, so it's normal for mycelium to grow. I have to keep an eye on it, otherwise it will be mistaken for mold and pulled out, and all my efforts would be in vain. After saying this, he unconsciously quickened his pace.

Pei Yanyan did not stop and quickened her pace to follow Niu Nan.

Anxious Niu Nan jogged for about 10 minutes and was a little out of breath. Just when she was about to squat down to take a rest, she saw Pei Yanyan following behind her calmly and confidently. She suddenly felt annoyed that she didn't exercise much and was not as good as a delicate girl at this time.

"Well, Pei Zhiqing, why don't you go back to the Zhiqing Institute first, I'll come slowly. Huh~huh~"

"Don't be so anxious, you should take a rest first. I don't understand the characteristics of mushrooms. Let's go together later." Pei Yanyan complained in her heart. This man looked handsome, but his physical strength was too poor.

Niu Nan looked at Pei Yanyan who was in no hurry to leave and had to half squat to slow down.

Niu Nan always wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Well, I've been doing research at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the past few years and haven't done much exercise. But I was a very good runner when I was in school." Niu Nan smiled awkwardly.

"Well, is that so?" Pei Yanyan also thought it would be a good opportunity to learn more about him. "Where did you study before? Don't get me wrong, I'm just bored resting here, so let's chat for a while."

"It's okay. There's nothing I can't tell you. I used to study biology at Kyoto University. What about you?" Niu Nan asked back.

"I went to high school in Kyoto, and I didn't take the college entrance exam. My family arranged for me to go to the countryside. Of course it's not that I couldn't pass the exam, it's just that my family arranged it." Pei Yanyan still regretted that she could have taken the college entrance exam, but the news at home was not good, and she had no choice.

"You, do you regret not going to college?" Niu Nan could hear her regret.

Pei Yanyan looked at the person in front of her with some surprise. She didn't expect that this person, who usually looked dazed, could understand the hidden meaning in her words.

"Yes, there were some, but I still had no chance to go to university." Pei Yanyan said with regret.

"So if you can go to college, what would you like to study?" Niu Nan said.

"Well, I've thought about it before. I'm good at math, so I think it should be mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc." Pei Yanyan said a little melancholy as she looked at the path ahead.

Niu Nan's eyes lit up after hearing her words. He didn't expect that this delicate girl liked such an unpopular major, which happened to be related to the major he studied before.

"Do you still want to learn now? I can teach you. It happens that I majored in agronomy and have some knowledge of mathematics and physics." Niu Nan blurted out without thinking, and then he began to regret it. How could a little girl learn from a grown man like him? It would be embarrassing if he told others about it.

"Sure." Pei Yanyan agreed quickly because she thought that first, she could get more contact with Niu Nan, and second, learning knowledge was very necessary. Now that she had passed the exam to become a village teacher, maybe she could even teach her students in the future.

Niu Nan didn't expect that he spoke so quickly and she agreed so quickly. The regret in his heart had long disappeared.

"Okay then, I'll record the growth of mushrooms during the day, and teach you knowledge at night. But my old books are in Kyoto, and I need someone to mail them to me." Niu Nan felt something was wrong after saying this, but after thinking about it, he felt it was not right.

After hearing what he said, Pei Yanyan hurriedly said, "No need for them to send it. It's so troublesome. I'll just go to my grandfather's place in the provincial capital to look for it."

"You need a letter of introduction to go to the provincial capital now. It would be difficult for you to ask for leave in the village now. You should ask someone to send it first." Niu Nan said.

"It's okay. The village chief is a very nice person and very tolerant towards us educated youth. He won't say anything as long as I come back within the specified time. I will go to the provincial capital tomorrow and look for something quick. It will take half a month for the money you asked someone to mail it to us. It will take too long." Pei Yanyan refused.

Niu Nan thought about it and realized that it had indeed been too long, so he decided not to continue talking about this topic.

"Okay, I've rested enough now, let's go now." Niu Nan stood up.

Pei Yanyan looked at Niu Nan's delicate body. He was still teaching her things. Why not teach him something in return?

The more Pei Yanyan thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was a good one, so she called him before they were too far apart.

"Niu Nan, how about you practice with me and my little apprentice in the morning?"

"Ah, what to practice?" Niu Nan looked confused.

"Practice military boxing as a reward for the knowledge you taught me. Do you think it's okay?" Pei Yanyan said.

Niu Nan turned his head and looked at Pei Yanyan, who was less than a meter behind him. Pei Yanyan was only as tall as his shoulders, with black hair and a fair face that was less than the size of his palm. She was looking at him with sparkling eyes. For a moment, he was stunned and swallowed unconsciously.

"Well, well, okay." Niu Nan felt like he didn't know where to put his eyes.

"Then it's settled." Pei Yanyan smiled sweetly and walked away.

Niu Nan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Pei Yanyan's smiling face. He shook his head, not understanding what was wrong with him.
