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 ...
Qin Mi and Wen Xi are leaving tomorrow, and it's unclear how long it will be before they see each other again. So, the Qin family prepared a sumptuous dinner tonight, including the seafood they brought back.
The family, including Wenxi, the imposter, had a lively dinner. The atmosphere at the table was great, which made Wenxi worry about her and He Chen'an's future. She wondered if He Chen'an's parents would approve of her, and if they could get along with her peacefully.
The Qin family had never met her and didn't know who she was, yet they helped her resolve her household registration and identity issues just because of a few words from Qin Mi. They didn't look down on her because she didn't have a job, which shows that they fully respected Qin Mi's decision.
Wenxi also hoped that He Chen'an's family members could be as easy to get along with as they were. If they were the kind of people who were difficult to get along with, looked down on others, or always liked to pick on her, then she shouldn't blame her for not seeing them.
If He Chen'an's performance is even worse than Qin Mi's fake husband, then she won't continue with He Chen'an.
After all, people get married with the goal of happiness, not to suffer.
She likes He Chen'an, but that doesn't mean liking someone means dedicating yourself like a candle, or sacrificing your happiness for someone.
Her life's motto is to put herself first.
During the meal, the elders of the Qin family kept giving Qin Mi and Wen Xi instructions, and Qin Mi and Wen Xi listened patiently without any impatience, after all, it was their elders' concern.
The next morning, just before they were about to leave, Grandma Qin cooked dumplings for them, saying that dumplings were for getting off the train and noodles for getting off. When Wenxi said goodbye to Grandpa Qin, she secretly slipped him a letter, telling him to start making arrangements for the family now so that he wouldn't suffer later.
As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood.
If a person dies, then nothing remains.
People in positions like the Qin family are bound to react faster than others. Even if they don't believe Wenxi now, when the tide turns against them in the future, with Wenxi's reminder, they should be able to react quickly, protect themselves, and safeguard the Qin family.
After a two-day train journey, they finally arrived at their destination. As they exited the train station, they saw Qin Mi's colleague waiting for them by the roadside. Upon seeing them come out, the colleague walked over, took their bags, and led them to their car by the roadside.
"Thank you for coming to pick us up," Wenxi said gratefully.
Qin Mi has both good and bad colleagues. It's unfair to treat the friendly ones badly just because of a few bad ones.
The male colleague smiled shyly, "It's nothing."
“I know the way back. Can I drive? I’ve learned to drive these past few days,” Wenxi tentatively suggested.
The male colleague glanced at Qin Mi, nodded, and then sat in the back with his luggage. Qin Mi sat in the passenger seat and gave Wen Xi a brief explanation. Wen Xi then started the car.
After driving for a while, the male colleague exclaimed, "I didn't expect Liangliang to drive so steadily, even more steadily than me!"
Qin Mi glanced at Wen Xi, a look of pride on his face, "Women are more meticulous and cautious, so they naturally drive more steadily."
"It's all because you taught me so well," Wen Xi said with a smile.
Several hours later, Wenxi finally drove the car into the company compound. Everyone was shocked to see Wenxi get out of the car. They never expected that Wenxi, a woman, could drive, and drive so well.
After all, everyone is very clear about the road conditions along the way from the main urban area to here, and unless absolutely necessary, no one really wants to travel to the main urban area.
When Wang Xiao saw this, she was so angry that her fingernails almost dug into her flesh. Why was Hao Liangliang superior to her in every way?
She donated living supplies to everyone, and now she can drive. She's better than her in every way. How can she compare? If she tries to compare herself to Hao Liangliang, everyone will just think she's overestimating herself.
Wang Xiao snorted coldly, turned around angrily, and went into the house.
Wenxi and Qin Mi also returned to their dormitory. Fortunately, they had only been away for seven days, and Qin Mi's dormitory was not dirty. Qin Mi lifted the blanket that was laid on the kang (a heated brick bed) to cover the dust, and the kang was clean.
Wenxi slumped onto the kang (heated brick bed) and said, "Take the dried seafood from your bag to the canteen and ask them to cook it for everyone at noon. Also, tell the canteen that we're starting to eat at the canteen today."
After all, the food is stored in the canteen; wouldn't it be a waste not to eat it?
"Okay, then you should get some rest." Qin Mi left with a bag of dried seafood.
Wenxi got off the kang (heated brick bed), locked the dormitory door, and then slipped into the system kitchen to boil water for a shower and hair wash. She hadn't been able to do these things while on the bus these past few days, and now that she had tidied up, she felt much more comfortable.
She was a fake goddess, not a real one. She had the body of an ordinary person, so naturally she would get tired.
Qin Mi brought the dried seafood to the cafeteria, handed it to the chef, and said, "Here are ten catties of dried seafood, brought by my wife Liangliang. After soaking in warm water, it can be stewed or stir-fried."
The chef nodded. "Officer Qin, thank you so much, you and your wife."
"Now that we're back, we'll start eating in the cafeteria from tonight onwards," Qin Mi said.
The chef said, "I understand."
The food was donated by Wenxi; otherwise, everyone would still have to eat only half full or three-tenths full as before. Even if they wanted to fill their stomachs with water, they couldn't, because the water level in the wells was getting lower and lower, and everyone had to conserve water.
Things are different now. Not only do we have food, but everyone also has two buckets of spring water. The spring water can last a long time, which allows the well water to rest properly.
When Qin Mi returned, Wen Xi pointed to the bucket of water in the room and said, "You should also take good care of yourself!"
People here don't bathe very often to begin with, and now that there's a water shortage, they bathe even less. They've probably gotten used to it. Although Wenxi has water, she doesn't bring hot water for Qin Mi to wash up every day, for fear that if Qin Mi gets into this habit, he won't be able to live there in the future.
After all, once Wenxi leaves, he won't be able to take a bath every day anymore.
So Wenxi didn't bring Qin Mi hot water every day, only occasionally bringing a bucket of hot water for Qin Mi to wash up. Besides, bringing such a big bucket of water for bathing was too extravagant. If Qin Mi went to the public bathroom outside, she would definitely be criticized. So Wenxi went out and let Qin Mi clean up in the dormitory.
Wen Xi was taking a walk outside Qin Mi's dormitory when Wang Xiao saw her. Wang Xiao snorted coldly and slammed the door shut as she went inside.
After Qin Mi finished packing, the two went to the office together. Reaching Uncle Wang's desk, Qin Mi said, "Uncle Wang, Liangliang is planning to donate a batch of trees to improve the local environment..."
