“Who says otherwise?” Lin Yiwan hadn’t expected that her views were so similar to Wen Xi’s, no wonder they became friends.
Lin Yiwan continued, "Perhaps because the punishment for Nie Xiulan and Qian Liang was too severe, Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun haven't gone to the city to find female companions to spend the night with during this period. Instead, they have stayed obediently in the team."
Wen Xi sneered, "Let's see how long they can behave."
Lin Yiwan nodded in agreement, "Yes, Lu Xiaoyun is married, but Xia Minglei isn't. If he can't hold back, he'll have to go out and look for someone. If he looks for someone in the team, they'll force him to take responsibility, so he definitely won't stay quiet for long."
As Lin Yiwan spoke, she suddenly felt embarrassed. How could she discuss matters between husband and wife with a seventeen-year-old girl who knew nothing?
Seeing that Wen Xi didn't blush or skip a beat, and seemed not to understand what was going on, Lin Yiwan felt relieved. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if Wen Xi was led astray.
She was, after all, a transmigrator. Before transmigrating, she was not young. In the first half of her life, she had dated and had sex. She understood matters between men and women. But Wen Xi was different. She was a local girl and had no idea about these things.
There were only five female educated youths in the educated youth settlement. Nie Xiulan was punished, Liang Zhaodi married Lu Xiaoyun and lived in another empty house, Chu Wan'er married that uncle, and Xu Huaying also secretly married a poor family in the village after the New Year who couldn't afford to marry a wife. Now, only Tian Shengnan, a girl, was left in the educated youth settlement, living in such a large dormitory.
Now that she's all alone, things are naturally different from before, when they would have a small argument every three days and a big argument every five days.
Of course, it was impossible for Tian Shengnan to continue living so freely. Wen Xi remembered that in her previous life, a group of educated youth arrived a few days before the annual double harvest season. This group of educated youth was quite unlucky, as they were caught up in the annual double harvest season as soon as they arrived. After the double harvest was over, they all looked like they had been skinned alive.
When they reached the place where they were supposed to part ways, they separated.
As Wenxi passed by the gate of her neighbor's house, she saw Jin Changfeng standing there. When he saw her, he became visibly anxious. "Little sister, how are you? Are you alright?"
Seeing that he really acted like a good older brother, Wenxi found it amusing. Wenxi turned around in front of Jin Changfeng and said, "Big brother, I'm fine, nothing's wrong. I waited until the wild boar was tired before I made my move."
Seeing that Wen Xi didn't seem to be in any danger, Jin Changfeng felt relieved. He wanted to say something more, but in the end, he simply said, "Be careful in the future."
"I understand, big brother, don't worry!" Wen Xi smiled and went home with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. Jin Changfeng had someone to take care of him, and there was also nurse Zhu Ying taking care of him personally, so Wen Xi, his younger sister, didn't need to worry about anything.
Wenxi and the others have a meat dish every day for lunch and dinner, so they don't crave meat anymore. After asking Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue for their opinions, Wenxi directly marinated the wild boar meat she was allocated. Wild boar meat is relatively difficult to cook, so it's better to make it into salted meat. When eating, just slice a few pieces and steam them directly.
Moreover, steaming salted pork can also produce a bowl of salted pork soup. You can then pour the salted pork soup into other dishes without adding any oil or salt.
The New Year has passed, and although it's not yet spring planting season, we still have to go to work because the team is planting wheat and rapeseed. But it's not too busy, and it's very easy.
At this time, the pig feed had not yet grown, so Wenxi did not need to gather pig feed. However, there were people everywhere in the fields, so Wenxi could no longer go to the rice paddies with water to catch eels. She could only wait for Zhao Zhiping to catch them for her. Zhao Zhiping carried a shovel and searched everywhere for eel holes to dig. He could not dig too many in a day, but it would not matter if someone saw him.
If anyone asks, he just says that there's nothing to eat at home, so he dug some up to eat, and no one says anything. After all, in the summer, some people in the village do go to the fields to catch eels at night. However, not many people eat eels because there's a lack of oil, salt, and seasonings at this time, so they don't taste good and have a strong fishy smell.
Wenxi doesn't go out to work; she just stays home cooking and goes out to dig for wild vegetables. Shepherd's purse is everywhere this season, and she can easily dig up a basketful.
Wenxi also cleared out the land in the yard and divided it into rectangular plots. She planned to buy some vegetable seeds from villagers in March and plant them so that she could have vegetables to eat in two months and wouldn't have to buy vegetables from villagers anymore.
To her surprise, Wenxi had signed off on a whole bunch of vegetable seedlings: green peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, water spinach, pumpkins, winter melons, cowpeas, bitter melons, loofahs, flat beans, red amaranth, zucchini, okra... Wenxi counted them and found there were a total of thirty kinds of common vegetables, with thirty seedlings of each kind.
The three sisters don't eat much, so they'll plant about ten of each kind, and that should be enough. The rest can be planted next year.
Then, things like watermelons, pumpkins, winter melons, and lentils... these are plants that climb on the ground. You can find some ground in the valleys to plant them. Anyway, only she knows where there is a waterfall. She can go there occasionally and keep track of their growth. Once they are ready to eat, you can pick them in time.
That morning, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing. Captain Qian patrolled the fields with his hands behind his back, planning the spring plowing and planting in his mind as he patrolled.
Spring is the season for sowing, the most important season of the year, because it is related to the autumn harvest and the food supply for everyone who has worked hard all year.
Upon suddenly seeing a group of people in police uniforms and Zhongshan suits, Captain Qian's expression instantly changed. Ever since those incidents on New Year's Eve, the Harvest Brigade and he had become infamous. Every time he went to a meeting at the commune, the commune secretary would publicly criticize him and the Harvest Brigade in front of everyone.
After such an incident, not only did the team miss out on all the good things, but the marriage prospects of the unmarried young men and women in the team were also greatly affected. Whenever the topic of Fengshou Brigade came up, everyone shook their heads and refused to consider the young men and women of Fengshou Brigade.
Police officers frequently came to supervise, and Captain Qian, fearing that everyone would cause trouble again, personally went to the homes of those dishonest families to threaten and bribe them. He said that if anyone did anything to damage the reputation of the brigade, their whole family would be kicked out of Fengshou Brigade and left to fend for themselves.
So when Captain Qian saw the police officers again today, his heart skipped a beat. Nothing had happened in the team recently, so why were they here again?
Why are they so persistent?
As they approached, Captain Qian saw the commune secretary, deputy secretary, and some other staff members, and he immediately became nervous.
