"Yiwan, Brother Lin, what are you doing?" Wenxi asked curiously.

Lin Yiwan walked to Wen Xi's side, took her arm, and said with a smile, "Isn't it because my older brother is about to go back to the army? I was thinking that you three girls have had a hard time, so I cut some firewood for you. This three cartloads of firewood should be enough for you for a year."

"Yiwan, this..." Wenxi looked at Lin Yiwan with embarrassment.

"Xiaoxi, given our relationship, my brother is naturally your brother too. Don't refuse. At worst, you can be nicer to me and spend more time with me. With you by my side, my brother can concentrate more on his work, right?" Lin Yiwan playfully raised her eyebrows.

Wen Xi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Now that there was a reborn Tang Xiaoyun at the educated youth settlement, she didn't know whether she would be a threat to Tian Xiaoke or to Xia Minglei's official partner, Lin Yiwan. In order to protect Lin Yiwan, she would have to be careful to guard against Tang Xiaoyun in the future.

"Yiwan, thank you!" Wenxi smiled, then looked at the three older brothers of the Lin family, "Thank you, Brother Lin, Second Brother Lin, and Third Brother Lin. You've worked so hard, coming up the mountain to chop firewood for us in this heat. Come in and have some water."

Wenxi quickly took out her keys to open the courtyard gate, then ran into the main room to turn on the light, and then brought out a bowl to make sugar water for everyone.

It wasn't that she wouldn't let Lin Yiwan eat watermelon, but rather that it wasn't the right time yet; in a few days, she would have her own watermelons ready for harvest.

The three older brothers of the Lin family did not enter the courtyard. Instead, they worked together to push the wooden cart over the threshold into the courtyard, and then unloaded the firewood. The firewood shed in Wenxi's courtyard was a very simple thatched hut with a small door next to the kitchen wall for easy access to firewood.

The three of them were quick and efficient, and in less than twenty minutes they had piled all the firewood into the woodshed. It would be more than enough for a year, and probably for the next two years as well, because Wenxi rarely cooks outside anymore, and usually just makes tea as a formality.

After all the firewood was moved, Wenxi immediately brought over the sugar water. "Thank you, Brother Lin, Second Brother Lin, and Third Brother Lin. Please have some water to soothe your throats!"

After her three older brothers took the bowls, Wenxi asked curiously, "Brother Lin, when are you leaving?"

"It will be a few more days." Lin Yihui wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Wenxi nodded. "Brother Lin, you must be careful and attentive at work. Protect yourself and don't get hurt. Otherwise, everyone will worry about you. Also, you can't judge a book by its cover. Even if you've known someone for years, don't trust them too much. And don't entrust your life to others completely. Think of your parents and family. You must take good care of yourself."

Lin Yihui looked at Wen Xi with some surprise. He hadn't expected that such a young girl would know so much. It seemed that his previous opinion of her was too one-sided.

"I understand, thank you for your reminder, I will be careful," Lin Yihui said earnestly, looking into Wen Xi's eyes.

Wen Xi is really different from ordinary people. Every time the unmarried girls in the team see him, their eyes light up, as if wolves have spotted their prey and want to tear him apart.

However, they also looked at well-off and educated educated youth with the same gaze. This greedy look disgusted Lin Yihui, so he refused any blind date suggestions from anyone.

The four siblings drank the sweet soup and then pushed the wooden cart away. Wenxi was afraid that she might accidentally run into them if she went out at this time, so she locked the courtyard gate and went back to her room.

Then he flashed into the system kitchen and began processing bamboo shoots.

After processing and packaging, Wenxi left the system kitchen and went out.

That morning, after Wenxi returned from delivering pig feed to the pigsty, she locked the gate and went straight into the system kitchen. She ate a bowl of watermelon to cool off before starting to cook.

Because the dishes she had prepared earlier had all been eaten, she now had to prepare the next meal.

There's not much time left before the double harvest season. They'll be eating lunch and dinner in the cafeteria, and for a while they won't need to use their own ingredients, so Wenxi didn't cook much.

Loofah and minced meat soup, stir-fried bitter melon with meat, dry-fried green beans, stir-fried flat beans, cucumber and scrambled eggs, cucumber and pork rib stew...

Each dish is cooked in one pot, then put into a mixing bowl. When it's time to eat, just take a plate and serve it out. This way, you don't have to go through the trouble of cooking every day.

Cooking in the summer is such a chore; you're drenched in sweat in just a few minutes.

Wenxi finished cooking and came out of the system kitchen. Not much time had passed outside when she heard a knock on the door. She knew the postman had come again, because the postman came to her place almost every day.

After reading He Chen'an's letter today, Wen Xi immediately became nervous.

Because He Chen'an said he would take her to see his 'master'. Actually, he wasn't a real 'master'. It was just an old doctor he was assigned to when he first started working at the county hospital. That old doctor taught him a lot, so he wanted to take his girlfriend to visit this 'master'.

Let this 'master' know that he can handle the important matters of his life on his own and does not need the 'master' to worry about him.

It's said that an ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her in-laws, and she's not bad-looking at all, so she's not someone to be ashamed of. Since He Chen'an wants to take her to meet people, then let's go!

It's good that we met before the busy harvest season. Otherwise, she wouldn't have time once the harvest season started. Even if He Chen'an's parents came to see her, she wouldn't ask for leave, let alone a colleague who isn't her real 'master'.

A true 'master' is family; you are someone who will care for you in your old age and see you off in your final days.

Wen Xi brought out lunch from the system kitchen and placed it on the table. The weather was hot, so the food cooled down slowly. Wen Xi went back to her room to pack her things. Since she was going to meet He Chen'an's 'master' tomorrow, she naturally had to prepare a small gift. She couldn't go empty-handed.

Others would think she was completely immature, even though she didn't want to be one. After all, they weren't her 'master,' and she wouldn't be living with them in the future. But if using some local specialties could avoid trouble, Wenxi was naturally willing.

Wenxi found a brand new basket. This basket was not made of bamboo, so although it was not small, it was very light and did not feel heavy in her hand.

Wenxi packed five jin of dried mushrooms and five jin of dried vegetables that she had dried herself. She also brought two dried fish that she had dried herself. These fish were domestic fish that weighed four or five jin. After drying, they only weighed two or three jin, but they were still quite big. After all, not many people can catch such big fish.
