When they were still a kilometer or two away from the Harvest Brigade, Wen Xi hurriedly said, "Brother Yan, I'll get off here."

Yan Zheng pushed off the ground with both feet and stopped the bicycle. He then turned around to help Wen Xi get off, but Wen Xi jumped down on her own and landed on the ground.

"Brother Yan, thank you for today. You've taken me this far. It's not far from the production team; I can walk back myself." Wen Xi stood in front of Yan Zheng with her basket on her back, feeling very embarrassed as she thought about the physical contact they had made earlier.

The little girl had very fair skin, which looked even whiter like a porcelain doll under the winter sun. Yan Zheng looked at her and really wanted to hug her and cherish her.

"Xiaoxi, I'll come to the village to find you once I've completely resolved what I'm doing. If you need anything, just call me, and they'll let me know when they get the call." Yan Zheng was also worried that the girl might forget about him because he was busy with work, but he didn't have time to come over until the matter was resolved.

"Brother Yan, you're so busy, don't let my matter interfere with your work." Wen Xi smiled faintly, then carried her basket on her back and walked away from Yan Zheng, heading towards the harvest brigade.

After walking several meters, intending to put the contents of the basket into the system warehouse, I subconsciously looked back and saw Yan Zheng still standing there, holding his bicycle, staring in Wen Xi's direction.

Wen Xi quickly turned back and continued walking forward, abandoning her thoughts of cheating. After all, people like them should be very perceptive.

Yan Zheng waited until he could no longer see Wen Xi's back before reluctantly riding away on his bicycle. He needed to resolve the human trafficking issue as soon as possible so that he could come to the village to assert his authority and ensure that no one would dare to bully Wen Xi in the future.

The countryside is too dangerous; he's afraid a young girl like Wenxi won't be able to handle it.

As soon as Wen Xi returned home, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue greeted her, "Xiao Xi, have you had lunch?"

"I'm back after eating." Wenxi carried the basket into the main room, went to the table, and took out the contents of the basket one by one and placed them on the table.

"What is this?" Jiang Yue asked, picking up a roll of clean, soft toilet paper.

Wenxi hurriedly explained, "This is toilet paper. When I was buying toilet paper, I happened to find that the supply and marketing cooperative had received new toilet paper, so I bought it to try it out. If it works well, we'll use this toilet paper from now on."

"This paper feels even more comfortable than a handkerchief. It must be very expensive, right?" Shen Jiaojiao quickly grabbed a roll of paper and carefully touched it. She hadn't expected to find such good paper now.

"It's alright, it's only a little more expensive than toilet paper, I can afford it, don't worry!" Wen Xi then handed the sanitary napkins to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. "Jiaojiao, Jiang Yue, when you get your period next time, don't use menstrual pads anymore, just use these sanitary napkins. Keep them for now, and I'll teach you how to use them when your period comes."

Shen Jiaojiao glanced into the basket and saw that Wen Xi had left some for her as well, so she nodded. "Xiao Xi, thank you so much! I don't know how to thank you enough."

Wenxi didn't care about these things. After all, she was the one who could earn money. Prices weren't high in this era, so the three sisters didn't actually spend much money.

Moreover, many of these things are signed up for free, so why not use them?

"Jiaojiao, put a small basket in the toilet. We'll put used toilet paper and sanitary napkins in the basket and burn them when we cook. Try not to let anyone see them."

Everyone else doesn't matter; the most important person is Lin Yiwan. She comes from the modern era, and she can tell at a glance that these things don't fit this time.

Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue also understood the principle of not flaunting wealth. Others couldn't even afford toilet paper, yet they were using such high-quality toilet paper. If others saw this, they didn't know what they would say about them.

If they have good things, they can eat and use them quietly in private. There is no need for others to see them, let alone show them off in public. It is hard to guarantee that it will not cause any unnecessary trouble if others think they are very rich.

Just like before, didn't Nie Xiulan frame Wen Xi because of Wen Xi's watch, trying to steal it from her?

"Jiaojiao, take the tofu to the kitchen. I'll make you tofu stewed with fish tonight." After tidying up the things in the basket, Wenxi went back to her room to rest, leaving the rest to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue.

When Wenxi woke up from her nap, it was almost evening. She stretched and got out of bed feeling refreshed. She brushed her teeth and washed her face to fully wake herself up before heading to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Wenxi took out the small fish that she had cleaned earlier and fried them in oil until they were golden brown on both sides. This way, the fish meat wouldn't fall into powder when she used them to make soup.

After the tofu and fish stew was ready, Wenxi filled a basin with the dough and took it to Chang Qingqing next door. The fish were not big, the largest crucian carp was only the size of a palm, so Wenxi didn't count them and just filled the basin as many as she could.

"Sister, I made tofu stewed with fish, I brought you some to try."

Chang Qingqing hurriedly reached out and took the stewed tofu and fish. "It smells so good, it must be delicious. Xiaoxi, thank you! You always think of us when you cook something delicious. We don't know how to repay you."

“Sister, don’t say thank you anymore. They say a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. The three of us don’t have any relatives here. We’ll be counting on you to guide us from now on, won’t we?” Wenxi said with a smile. “Sister, there’s nothing going on in the team right now, and I don’t have anything to do either. So starting tomorrow night, I’ll teach Yuanyuan and Huihui to read and write. They can just come over after dinner.”

It doesn't matter how late she goes to class in the evening, as long as it doesn't affect her going to the waterfall to collect fish in the morning. She wants to earn more money before going back to work after the New Year!

That way, when she returns to the city in the future, she will have the money to start her own business. She can't possibly ask her parents for money to start a business!

"Oh, right, Xiaoxi, I suddenly remembered something. There's a movie showing at the threshing ground tomorrow night at six. We've been waiting in line for ages, and it's finally the Harvest Brigade's turn to show a movie. Not only are the kids looking forward to it, but we adults want to go see a movie too! Let's go together then! I was thinking of telling you when you got back, but I kept thinking about it and forgot about it," Chang Qingqing said apologetically.

Wenxi was somewhat surprised, perhaps because so much time had passed and she had completely forgotten some of the little things from her past life, not even remembering the movie screening tomorrow.
