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 ...
It wasn't until 1 a.m. that they returned to Qin Mi's dormitory. Wen Xi took out warm water from the system kitchen, and the two of them washed up quickly. While Wen Xi was washing up, Qin Mi went outside the dormitory, behaving very restrained and politely.
Both of them were clean after washing up. Wen Xi looked rosy-cheeked, like a peach blossom in full bloom, while Qin Mi was clean and refreshed, like a big boy.
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Wenxi asked.
Qin Mi looked at Wen Xi with deep eyes, and after a while said, "Is there anything to eat?"
Then, a bowl of white steamed buns and a pot of loofah and minced meat soup appeared on the table in front of her. Wenxi dared not pick up the braised pork, for fear that Qin Mi would get diarrhea if he ate it.
Seeing Qin Mi looking at her like a child, Wen Xi smiled and said, "Eat up! During my stay, I will make sure you eat and drink well so you can better face your work."
Wenxi wasn't hungry, so she drank a small bowl of loofah and minced meat soup. After that, she started writing seriously on the side. After a while, she handed the completed list to Qin Mi. "Give this list to Uncle Wang and tell him that it's the supplies I donated to your unit."
Currently, the market demand for food is insufficient and prices are very high. Wenxi was also afraid that if she donated too much, some unscrupulous people would take it and sell it for money to line their own pockets. Therefore, she did not donate much to Qin Mi's unit.
We will donate 500 jin of each type of tuberous and grain food, totaling 5,500 jin for eleven types. Then we will donate 50 jin of each type of vegetable and fruit, totaling 750 jin for fifteen types.
There aren't many people working and living in this courtyard. This amount of food is enough for everyone to eat for a while. At least for a period of time, everyone will no longer have to eat porridge with no rice in it or bitter, hard-to-swallow wild vegetable dumplings.
If she doesn't leave before she finishes eating all of this, she can donate a second, a third time...
After she leaves, they'll have to figure things out on their own.
"Liangliang, are you really going to give us all this stuff?" Qin Mi asked excitedly, looking at the list of supplies. This amount of food was enough to feed everyone in their unit for several months.
Wenxi nodded. "Go find Uncle Wang now and tell him that the supplies I donated will arrive the day after tomorrow, but once they arrive, no one is allowed to resell them."
"Liangliang, thank you so much." Qin Mi excitedly picked up Wen Xi and spun her around twice before putting her down, then quickly went out.
Uncle Wang was already fast asleep when he heard the knocking. Aunt Wang grumbled and nudged him to get up. Uncle Wang, a little impatient, yawned as he got up to open the door. When he saw Qin Mi, he was a little angry. After all, Qin Mi had rejected his daughter. But when he saw the list of supplies Qin Mi handed him, Uncle Wang was shocked.
"Qin Mi, is this true?" Uncle Wang asked in surprise.
Qin Mi nodded seriously, "Yes, Liangliang said this batch of supplies will arrive the day after tomorrow. Liangliang has one requirement, which is that no one is allowed to resell these supplies. We must ensure that these supplies are used effectively."
With grain prices remaining high outside, some people are bound to be tempted, so it's normal for Wenxi to have such concerns.
Uncle Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't it supposed to arrive the day after tomorrow? Let's take some time these next two days to come up with a good solution."
He had initially thought that Qin Mi's girlfriend had come to this desolate place to be a hindrance, but he never expected that she would actually be of great help. It seemed that he had been judging Qin Mi by his own petty standards.
Uncle Wang patted Qin Mi on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Qin Mi, you've found a good wife. She's generous and has a broad perspective. You must treat her well! Don't let her down."
"Liangliang is my wife, so of course I will treat her well and love and protect her for the rest of my life," Qin Mi said firmly.
He woke up in the car and fell in love with Liangliang at first sight. However, she was a fairy and he had to return to her world. He could only love her and miss her secretly in his heart.
Once Liangliang returns to her world, they will never have the chance to meet again, so he cannot let his love hold her back from going home.
He couldn't confine her to this world that wasn't suitable for her just because he loved her.
He can't be so selfish!
After discussing the supplies with Uncle Wang, Qin Mi returned to his dormitory. He saw Wen Xi sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) yawning, and Qin Mi couldn't help but laugh. He never expected that even a fairy could doze off!
"Liangliang, I'm back. You can rest now," Qin Mi said.
Wen Xi nodded, then lay down to rest. Qin Mi extinguished the oil lamp, got onto the kang (heated brick bed), and gradually fell asleep amidst the gentle breathing nearby.
Wenxi was really exhausted after traveling for nearly ten hours today, so she didn't get up the next morning and slept until after nine o'clock.
Wen Xi stretched and sat up from the kang (a heated brick bed). Seeing Qin Mi sitting to the side watching her, she felt a little embarrassed. "What time did you wake up? Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Go after you've rested. It's okay. We work here, not in a factory where we have to be on time," Qin Mi said. "You pack up first, I'll go to the cafeteria for breakfast."
After Qin Mi left, Wen Xi locked the door, slipped into the system kitchen, washed up and tidied herself up, then made a pot of hot dry noodles, served two bowls of hot dry noodles, and also brought out pickled cucumbers and flatbread.
When Qin Mi returned with breakfast, Wen Xi pushed the hot dry noodles in front of him, saying, "Eat quickly, so we can leave early."
Qin Mi picked up a mouthful of hot dry noodles with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up immediately. It contained pickled cowpeas, spicy radishes, and some sauce. It was really delicious. He had never eaten such delicious noodles before.
Seeing that Qin Mi still looked like she hadn't had enough after finishing her hot dry noodles, Wen Xi pushed her bowl in front of Qin Mi, since she had eaten plenty of hot dry noodles.
Qin Mi must think it's delicious since it's his first time eating hot dry noodles, so let him eat to his heart's content!
"Liangliang, you eat, I still have porridge!" Qin Mi swallowed.
"Right, stop talking nonsense." Wen Xi poured herself a little bit of the porridge that had hardly any rice grains left, took a piece of flatbread, and started eating it, drinking the porridge that was barely visible as water.
Qin Mi didn't refuse any longer and started eating quickly.
After finishing their belated breakfast, the two set off. Qin Mi drove Wen Xi to the village with the worst situation. When the car passed the place where they met that night, Wen Xi said, "When you had your attack, you also came back from the village with the worst situation, right?"
“Yes!” Qin Mi nodded. “The situation is the worst there. The land is all dry and cracked, and there is no way to grow any crops.”
