Before Wen Xi's rebirth, she only knew that the world she lived in was a novel.
But she wasn't the female lead; she was just a passerby with few scenes. Her elder sister, while their ...
“The villagers found out we’re neighbors, so they came to me wanting me to introduce you to their daughters. They want to marry their daughters to you. Some unmarried girls also came to me with the same idea. They all want to marry you. I’m so annoyed by this. I hide in the mountains every day, and I can stay there all day long…” Wenxi said helplessly.
She also found it quite speechless; why did everyone set their sights on Qin Mi?
Qin Mi's expression turned serious. "I will handle this matter. I will not let anyone affect your life again."
Wen Xi nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."
"What's the trouble? This matter was started by me, so naturally I have to handle it." Qin Mi smiled faintly, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Was he just too easy to talk to?
Otherwise, why would everyone be eyeing him?
Do they even know each other? What right do they have to worry about his marriage?
After that, they looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Wen Xi picked up her teacup and slowly sipped her tea. Suddenly, she heard Qin Mi's voice and looked up. She saw Qin Mi holding a small paper packet in her hand.
"Oh, these are vegetable seeds. I got them for you from a family I know well in the village. I see your yard is quite big, and I feel it's a shame to leave it empty. But if you don't have time, you don't have to plant them."
"Plant it, I happen to have a shovel." Qin Mi got up and went to the storage room to get a shovel. Although it wasn't the kind specifically for farming, it was still enough to turn over the soil in the yard.
"Brother Qin, do you know how to farm?" Wen Xi put down his teacup and stood up.
"Yes, we used to go to the countryside to help the local production teams with the harvest during busy farming seasons," Qin Mi said.
“When we were in school, every time we had a labor class, we would go to the countryside to help with farm work. I would do a little bit, but I wasn’t very good at it.” Wenxi scratched her head and smiled sheepishly.
Qin Mi took a shovel and came to the yard, clearing out the space little by little. Wen Xi planted seeds behind her, scattering various vegetable seeds into the holes Qin Mi had dug, and then covering the seeds with soil.
Hearing Wen Xi's laughter, Qin Mi was a little confused. "Xiao Xi, what are you laughing at?"
"I've never farmed in the team, I never thought I'd be farming here in the city," Wen Xi explained with a smile.
"So what do you do in the team?" Qin Mi asked curiously.
"At first we pulled weeds, then we chopped pig feed, and during the busy farming season we cooked for everyone in the canteen," Wen Xi said.
As for what to do next year, Wen Xi did not reveal anything, after all, she did not know if she would succeed. She would tell Qin Mi after she succeeded.
Qin Mi nodded thoughtfully, "Now that you've met me, if you don't have money or tickets, just tell me. Don't make things too hard for yourself."
With him around, why would she need to rely on work points to make a living?
After two hours of effort, the open space in the yard was divided into six rectangular vegetable plots. One plot was planted with radishes, cabbages, winter cabbages, yellow cabbages, and lettuce, while the remaining plot was planted with garlic, scallions, and chives, about one-third of each.
Looking at the completed vegetable patch, a sense of accomplishment welled up within Qin Mi. She turned to Wen Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, thank you."
This must be what it means to meet an old friend in a foreign land.
"Brother Qin, why are you being so polite? You don't know, after your trip to the countryside, no one dares to scheme against me anymore. If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you. You've done me a huge favor," Wen Xi said with a smile.
Qin Mi stared blankly at the bright smile on Wen Xi's face.
The little girl had a face like a peach blossom, red lips and white teeth. When the sunlight shone on her face, even the fine hairs seemed to glow.
At this moment, Xiao Wei ran over to report that the furniture factory had delivered furniture. Qin Mi told him to check it and then let it pass. After that, Qin Mi opened the gate and waited for the furniture factory's truck.
After a while, the furniture factory's truck pulled up outside, and two people got out. "Director Qin, where should we put these pieces of furniture?"
The newly purchased furniture needed to be cleaned and tidied before it could be carried into the house, so Qin Mi asked them to carry the furniture to the well, and Wen Xi and he wiped the furniture with a wet towel.
Wipe each piece of furniture clean and place them in the sun to air dry. After a while, you can move them home.
In the evening, Qin Mi's driver arrived, and Qin Mi and he carried the furniture to the designated place and arranged it.
After all the furniture was placed in its proper place, Qin Mi made up the large bed and looked at the house, which instantly felt like home. Qin Mi felt a warm glow in his heart. He truly had a home here, not just a place to live.
With such a commotion at Qin Mi's house today, the people living nearby naturally knew about it. They were all quietly discussing whether Qin Mi was getting married, otherwise why would he buy so much new furniture?
Most families only buy new furniture when a daughter-in-law is getting married.
Everyone was eager to know the answer, but no one dared to ask Qin Mi. After all, they were just family members. Their husbands had been assigned this place to live because of their work, and they had moved here with their husbands. They dared not ask Qin Mi.
Back then, someone took it upon themselves to bring their niece to Qin Mi's presence. When Qin Mi realized what had happened, she severely punished the woman's husband.
She was given a beating, and then her husband also gave her a severe beating, after which no one dared to bring their daughters, nieces, or other relatives to Qin Mi's presence again.
Qin Mi had been quiet about her love life, so this sudden commotion left everyone wondering what had happened. Although they were curious, no one dared to let their husbands go and inquire.
She was afraid it would affect her husband's work.
After arranging the furniture, it was already dark. Qin Mi heated up the leftovers from lunch, and the two of them finished their dinner. Afterward, Qin Mi took Wen Xi back to the production team.
Qin Mi opened the passenger door and beckoned Wen Xi to get in the car.
There were no seat belts in the cars of that era, so Wenxi leaned back as soon as she got in.
Visibility was obstructed at night, and the road conditions were poor. It would take at least two hours to get from Qinmi to Fengshou Brigade, so Wenxi closed her eyes to rest. Unexpectedly, she slowly fell asleep amidst the bumpy ride.
Suddenly, the check-in system issued a task, which startled Wenxi awake. Wenxi was in a state as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.
Qin Mi slowed down the car and asked worriedly, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"
"My stomach hurts, can you go faster?" Wen Xi noticed the word 'teleport' next to the mission. Once these two words appear, it's either a mission in a different location or a mission across time and space.
