At this time, a girl's reputation is extremely important; even the smallest thing or the slightest slander can have a huge impact on her.

This is why she has always wanted Yan Zheng to come to the countryside to accompany her. However, Yan Zheng has never had time to come. This also made Wen Xi realize that others are unreliable and cannot be trusted. Therefore, they must be careful and not give others any chance.

After everyone finished drinking the mint water, they were surprised to find that it seemed even cooler today, and it felt even more comfortable and refreshing when they drank it.

The three newcomers, Gu Huai'an and his companion, were unaware of the mint water. They hadn't brought any bowls with them, so Gu Huai'an borrowed a bowl from a male villager next to him before queuing up to get the mint water.

Wen Xi used a bamboo ladle to scoop a full spoonful of mint water and poured it into Gu Huai'an's bowl. As soon as the water was poured into the bowl, Gu Huai'an felt a slight coolness emanating from the bottom of the bowl.

It seems Wenxi put in a lot of effort to make this mint water.

When Wen Xi came over to deliver the mint water, Gu Huai'an already knew her name from others and that she was also an educated youth, just in the batch before him!

"Delicious." As soon as the mint water entered his mouth, Gu Huai'an felt the coolness and refreshment, and then he couldn't help but drink it in big gulps, like a cow drinking water, gulping it down.

"Thank you." Wen Xi smiled faintly, without saying much more.

Everyone in the wheat field drank the mint water, and then Wenxi and Shen Jiaojiao delivered it to other places. When the later female villains arrived, Wenxi felt a little flustered.

Because she wasn't sure if Tang Xiaoyun had heard of her existence, knew anything about her, or if she would overthink things after seeing her situation so different from her previous life.

When Tang Xiaoyun came over to get the mint water, she didn't think much of it. After all, no one in her previous life had told her about these unimportant people at the educated youth settlement. She didn't know who was there or not.

When she saw Wenxi, she frowned. She thought she was very pretty, but she didn't expect to meet several girls who were prettier than her after going to the countryside. How could someone who had been praised and flattered since childhood accept this?

Tang Xiaoyun gave Wen Xi a meaningful look before turning and leaving.

Wenxi found it quite funny. Since she was reborn, she should know what the future held. Instead of taking this opportunity to develop herself, she went to the countryside for a man who wasn't worth it, wasting her precious time and her whole life. She didn't even love herself, so how could a man love her?

If you have a parasol tree at home, the phoenix will come.

You need to be good enough to meet better people. Trying to find a good man among mediocre people is just wishful thinking.

Now is a great time to accumulate capital. In a few years, when the policies are released, we can go all out and do our thing boldly. Then we can become one of the first people to get rich.

Is it worth investing your future in a scumbag like Xia Minglei?

Even if she manages to snatch Xia Minglei from someone else, so what? Xia Minglei isn't a good person, so naturally he won't give her happiness. In the end, it'll probably be a complete mess, a chaotic mess.

However, this is a personal choice, and Wenxi will not meddle. Besides, what is poison to one may be honey to another. Perhaps this is the happiness that Tang Xiaoyun wants?

Who knows, Tang Xiaoyun might actually be willing to have a messy, chaotic, and love-hate relationship with Xia Minglei?

Therefore, let go of the urge to help others and respect their fate.

At noon, Wenxi made snake meat soup for everyone. Fearing it wouldn't be enough, she also made egg pancakes with egg liquid, then cut the egg pancakes into strips and sprinkled them on top with green and red peppers as a garnish when the snake meat soup was almost ready.

Some people had never eaten snake meat before, and were also afraid to eat it, so they originally didn't want to get snake meat soup. However, they saw that the people who got their food first were already eating it eagerly.

Seeing how much they enjoyed the food, they mustered up their courage to try it. To their surprise, they were immediately captivated. They never imagined that snake meat could be cooked so deliciously. They had truly missed out on so many wonderful dishes before.

When Gu Huai'an arrived at the cafeteria and lined up for food, he learned that Wen Xi was actually in charge of cooking. He hadn't expected that a young girl could be a head chef. He figured her cooking skills must be excellent, otherwise the team wouldn't have entrusted her with such an important task. He also had a faint expectation for her cooking skills.

Soon it was Gu Huai'an's turn. Gu Huai'an handed the lunchbox in his hand to the front, and Wen Xi scooped a full spoonful of each dish for him.

Wenxi had a lukewarm attitude towards the people at the educated youth settlement and had no intention of having any contact with them. She felt that it was better for everyone to keep to themselves, but she didn't know if they could continue to do so without interfering with each other.

Liang Zhaodi is now more than six months pregnant. The team has assigned her to work in the threshing ground. The work in the threshing ground is not tiring. Most of the time she sits and rests, occasionally turning over the grain, chasing away the birds that come to eat the grain, and paying attention to the weather. If clouds roll into the sky, she has to remind everyone to put the grain away.

Lu Xiaoyun is a selfish person. He originally wanted to find Wen Xi because he wanted someone to serve him, like his mother served his father, to serve him in every way, in life and even in bed. There was no real affection between them, so how could he possibly let Liang Zhaodi stay at home to have her pregnancy?

He wished he could make Liang Zhaodi do the hardest and most tiring work so he could earn more work points and have more food.

Liang Zhaodi had to go to work, and after work she still had to do all the housework. Even so, Lu Xiaoyun might not let her off the hook at night. She was exhausted and thin all over, except for her big belly. She hadn't recovered at all. I wonder if she regretted what she did back then.

Gu Huai'an had been harvesting wheat all morning, and his arms were so sore he could barely lift them. His hands trembled slightly as he held chopsticks to eat. He never imagined that life in the countryside would be so hard, but he would not regret choosing this path.

Now that he has chosen to go to the countryside, he will no longer think about the past and will strive to live a good life in the countryside through his own efforts.

Gu Huai'an picked up a piece of snake meat and tasted it. His eyes lit up immediately. He hadn't expected the snake meat soup to be so delicious, so he ate much faster.

After everyone finished eating and left, leaving only a few people in charge of cooking in the canteen, Lin Yiwan came to Wen Xi's side. She was wearing the military green summer outfit that Wen Xi had given her, which accentuated her fair skin and made her face even more delicate.

Thinking of Tang Xiaoyun, the female villain who had dealt with Lin Yiwan in her previous life, Wen Xi felt a little worried about her. Don't be fooled by Tang Xiaoyun's easy-going appearance now; she is the female villain with the most screen time among all the villains.
