"Okay, thank you, Comrade Jin." Wen Xi agreed very readily, but whether or not she would actually look for Jin Changfeng was another matter.

After all, she couldn't ask Jin Changfeng for everything. She didn't know if Jin Changfeng was on vacation or on a mission. Whatever the reason, she couldn't bother Jin Changfeng.

“Xiaoxi, we’re already so familiar with each other, calling me ‘comrade’ seems a bit too formal. You can call me Changfeng.” Jin Changfeng felt it was too formal to hear the girl calling him “Comrade Jin” repeatedly.

"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Jin from now on!" Wen Xi looked into Jin Changfeng's eyes and said sweetly, "Brother Jin, is that alright?"

Wenxi really couldn't bring herself to call him Changfeng. She didn't dare to address such a great hero by his first name, feeling it would be too disrespectful.

Jin Changfeng was naturally dissatisfied with this title. He sighed softly and thought to himself that they had only just met, so he shouldn't be too exaggerated. He should take it slow.

One day she will call him Changfeng or Brother Changfeng.

The thought of her little hands wrapped around his waist, sweetly calling him "Brother Changfeng" made Jin Changfeng's heart tighten and his breath catch in his throat. As if afraid that she would see through something, Jin Changfeng quickly left, almost as if he were fleeing in panic.

Wenxi took the key off the courtyard gate, then closed and locked it. She then went to the house door and took the key off the door as well.

When she bought the door lock, she specifically chose one with three keys.

"Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, each of us will have one key to the courtyard gate and the house door. As for the house door key, you can keep it yourselves!" Wenxi handed the keys to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. "Find a rope and tie the keys together, hang them around your necks, and don't lose them. If someone else picks them up, we'll be in danger."

"We know, we'll definitely keep the house keys safe," Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue assured each other.

"I've been on the train for several days and haven't showered in days. I'll go boil some water so the three of us can all have a good shower tonight," Wenxi said, turning and heading to the kitchen.

Use that unoiled iron pot to boil bathwater.

As she lit the straw and stuffed small firewood into it, Wenxi thought to herself, "I've only checked in once today, and I still have two more chances to check in. I hope I can check in something more useful to me tonight."

For example, a stove, preferably a three-legged iron stove that burns firewood. She doesn't want a coal stove because coal stoves require coal, and in the countryside, it's impossible for them to get coal.

Once the first pot of water was boiled, Wenxi told Shen Jiaojiao to go take a bath first.

Although no one has lived in this house for a long time, it is small but complete in every way, with a kitchen, woodshed, bathroom, and toilet!

In my previous life, the later batch of educated youth had nowhere to live, so the village arranged for them to move in here without paying rent. But the girls who moved in earlier had to pay a couple hundred yuan. It was really unfair.

The house itself didn't cost that much, but all the furniture was new, so it all added up to about that much money.

Just as Wen Xi was about to sign in for the second time today, there was a sudden knock on the door. She quickly snapped out of her daze, got up, and went to open the door.

Unexpectedly, it was Song Lan and Zhou Bai standing outside. The sky was gradually getting dark, and Shen Jiaojiao was still taking a shower in the bathroom, so Wen Xi did not invite the two of them in, but stood directly outside the courtyard gate.

"Song, Zhou, what brings you here?" Wen Xi asked in surprise. "Have you all settled in?"

Song Lan nodded. "Wen, we've all settled in. We came to see you tonight to let you know that the old educated youth at the settlement will be hosting a welcome dinner for us tomorrow night. You must come!"

"Thank you for coming all this way to let us know. We will definitely come." Now that everything is settled, it's natural to go see everyone at the educated youth settlement, since we'll be spending another three years together!

After Song Lan and Zhou Bai left, Wen Xi closed the courtyard gate, a dark and unfathomable look flashing in her eyes. It was time to settle some scores!

Although her tragedy in her previous life stemmed from her eldest sister and brother-in-law and had nothing to do with the other educated youth in the educated youth compound, the educated youth in her previous life had schemed against her because she was young and forced her to do many things. How could she let them off so easily?

Back in the kitchen, Wenxi quickly signed in and got the tripod iron stove she wanted for the second time, along with a kettle, so she could have hot water anytime, anywhere.

The third item she checked in for was a shower tent. With this, it wouldn't be cold when showering in winter. However, she couldn't use it now; she would have to wait until her next trip to town and then find an excuse to bring it back.

After Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue finished showering and returned to their rooms, Wen Xi also went to take a shower. In those days, there weren't such good bathing facilities, so everyone used tub baths.

Wenxi sat in a basin of hot water and quickly soaked a towel in it to take a bath. It was so cold that she was shivering. She hadn't taken a bath for several days since she boarded the train, and she couldn't stand not taking a bath any longer.

After taking a shower, she was so shivering that she couldn't even put on her clothes. She haphazardly threw on her thermal underwear and ran into her room, crawling straight into bed. She continued to shiver in the icy cold blankets.

The next morning, at some unknown time, the village rooster crowed loudly. Wenxi was woken up and couldn't fall back asleep, so she lay in bed and did her first sign-in.

Unexpectedly, they received a whole box of eggs, 360 in total, enough for the three sisters to eat for more than half a year.

Wenxi lay in the warm bed for a while longer before getting up, folding the blankets, and going straight to the kitchen to make breakfast.

After rinsing the rice and putting it in the pot, Wenxi took out two sweet potatoes, washed them, diced them, and put them in the pot. Then she put a steamer on the pot, washed three eggs and put them on a plate, covered the pot, and started to cook breakfast.

Wenxi always felt that the eggshells smelled like chicken droppings, so she didn't like to cook the eggs in the pot with the porridge. Instead, she steamed them in a plate, and the eggs would be cooked naturally when the porridge was done.

Two iron pots, one for cooking porridge, and the other for boiling water.

After the water boiled, Wenxi first filled both thermos flasks with water, and then filled a pot with water.

This time the water was for washing up and didn't need to be too hot, so she pulled some firewood out of the stove and put it into the firebox for cooking porridge.

Wen Xi had just finished washing up when Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue got up.
