Wen Xi nodded readily, "Of course, that's what my friends call me."
"Xiaoxi, I have something to do right now and can't take you home. I'll send someone to take you home..."
Wen Xi hurriedly interrupted Yan Zheng, "Brother Yan, no need, I know the way, I can go back by myself. Brother Yan, hurry up and get to work! If we catch these bad guys as soon as possible, no one else will be hurt."
Although it's too late to catch the oxcart back to the village at this time, walking back is fine too. It's winter now, and I'll warm up after walking a few steps; I won't feel cold at all.
When Wen Xi came out of the office, Yan Lili was already asleep in her grandmother's arms. Wen Xi walked over and said to Yan Lili's grandparents, "Uncle, Aunt, Lili was just frightened. You should take her to the hospital for a check-up and see if the drug has caused any aftereffects on her body."
Grandma Yan nodded hurriedly, "Girl, it's almost lunchtime, come home with me for dinner!"
"No need, Auntie. I've been out long enough. If I don't go back soon, my friends will worry. I'll definitely visit them when I have the chance."
Grandma Yan hurriedly added, "Girl, from now on, my house is your house. If you need anything, just come to my house. You must come!"
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll definitely go if I have time." Wen Xi smiled and nodded in agreement.
Of course, she wouldn't take any money from them, nor would she ask them to arrange a job for her; she just wanted to make her life easier for the next three years!
After saying goodbye to Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan, Wen Xi left the police station with her things. She had already wasted so much time and it was past lunchtime, so she was too lazy to go to the state-run restaurant for a meal.
As Wenxi left the town and embarked on the road leading to the countryside, she was about to take two coarse grain buns from the system warehouse when she discovered that the stamps she had placed there were missing.
All the twenty yuan worth of stamps are gone, not a single one left.
Although they're worthless now, they still cost twenty yuan to buy. Twenty yuan is almost half a month's salary! In the future, these stamps will be priceless.
But now it has simply vanished.
"System, system, where are the stamps I put in the warehouse?" Wen Xi hurriedly asked the system. Since the system warehouse is so unsafe, then valuable items should not be put in the system warehouse in the future.
"Host, I'm sorry, your stamp has been signed by someone else." The system had a bug, and the system felt extremely guilty.
"What do you mean? Why can others sign for my things? What am I supposed to do if others sign for my things?" Wen Xi found it unbelievable. "If the things I put in the system warehouse can be signed for, will other things be signed for too? Does that mean I can't put any good things in the system warehouse anymore?"
"Host, I guarantee that this kind of anomaly will not happen a second time," the system said. "As compensation, the system will change the host's daily check-in from once to three times a day."
Hearing this, Wen Xi stopped arguing with the system. Although stamps would be valuable in the future, they would only be valuable if someone bought them. If they couldn't be sold, they would just be worthless pieces of paper.
Moreover, by the time she becomes valuable, she will likely be quite old and unable to enjoy the money. However, with three daily sign-in opportunities, she might be able to sign in for something she wants, allowing her to live a better life. She might even sign in for something more valuable than a stamp. So, all things considered, she is not at a loss.
"Alright, then I'll forgive the system for this mistake. I hope this kind of anomaly won't happen again in the future," Wen Xi said understandingly.
Wenxi ate the coarse grain steamed buns she had signed up for on the first day as she walked. She didn't know where these coarse grain steamed buns came from, but they were very fluffy and soft, with a faint sweetness, unlike the coarse grain cornbread at this time, which was dry and hard and even scratchy to the throat.
After finishing the steamed buns, Wenxi began to admire the scenery on both sides of the road. On both sides of the road were ditches used to irrigate crops, and on the other side of the ditches were farmlands. The terrain on the right was higher, while the rice paddies on the left were lower. Now, only withered rice straw roots and a thin layer of snow remained in the fields.
The open spaces and trees in sight were all grayish-white, with very little green to be seen. Only in some dry fields, under the snow, were lush green wheat fields. This was not Northeast China, and winter wheat was not being grown here, but rather spring wheat.
Wenxi walked to the roadside and glanced at the ditch used to irrigate the crops. The ditch was more than a meter deep and more than two meters wide, but there wasn't much water in it; it should only reach up to an adult's knees.
At this time, the water resources were not polluted by chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so the aquatic resources were abundant, and there were many fish. It could be said that you could really scoop up fish with a ladle. However, Wenxi had just been sent to the countryside and had not yet settled down, so he did not have time to catch fish to eat for the time being.
Realizing she hadn't used her three sign-in attempts for the day, Wen Xi hurriedly used her consciousness to sign in, and a gift pack appeared.
Wen Xi quickly went to the system warehouse to check the dropped gift pack, which clearly showed: one fishing net, one flashlight, five batteries, one imported umbrella-shaped fish and shrimp net, one casting net, one fish trap, one wooden bucket, one pair of pliers, one pair of deep-top boots, one pair of work gloves, one fishing rod, one sheet of fishing line, ten boxes of earthworms, and one small stool.
Wen Xi was extremely surprised. She hadn't expected the gift pack she received today to contain so many items. She guessed it was compensation from the system!
But why are they all just fishing tools?
Do you want her to catch fish to eat?
However, with these things, catching fish is indeed much easier. Whenever she has free time, she goes to the river to try it out. With these fishing tools, she doesn't need to go into the water to catch fish.
Jin Changfeng saw Wen Xi as soon as she reached the village entrance. The moment she appeared, he couldn't take his eyes off her; she seemed to possess a powerful attraction.
Ever since he met her, she has been on his mind all the time. Last night, he tossed and turned in bed all night without closing his eyes.
He was worried about her; he worried that she wouldn't adapt to rural life, that farm work would be too hard, and that she would be bullied in the village.
He wanted to pursue her, but he was afraid of scaring her away. He also had no experience interacting with women and didn't know how to get along with her. He wondered if she would be scared by his cold face or if she would find his taciturn nature boring.
Some things come out of nowhere, but they just happen to come without warning, catching you completely off guard.
