During this time, Captain Qian arranged for people to deliver large iron pots and firewood. The large iron pots were rented from the villagers' homes, one from each family, and a total of ten large iron pots were rented.
Wenxi was diligently cleaning in the cafeteria when she suddenly heard an unfamiliar male voice calling her from outside. Puzzled, she went out and saw the postman sitting astride his bicycle.
"Hello, comrade, this is Wen Xi. Is there a letter for me?" Wen Xi felt uneasy. She hadn't been able to contact her family yet, so who would send her a letter?
The postman handed the letter to Wenxi and then rode away on his bicycle.
When Wen Xi saw He Chen'an's name on the envelope, she was speechless. He was in the county town, only a few hours away from her. Why did he need to write to her?
Isn't this unnecessary?
However, since returning yesterday morning, Wen Xi has been busy and has completely forgotten about He Chen'an. If it weren't for He Chen'an's letter reminding her that she has friends, she wouldn't have realized that she has friends. Although this friendship started inexplicably, since she decided to start it, she naturally has to take it seriously.
Wenxi was busy cleaning the cafeteria and didn't have time to read the letter, so she stuffed it into her pocket and went back to continue cleaning the cafeteria.
It took the five of them quite a while to clean the cafeteria. Actually, the cafeteria hadn't been empty for very long since last autumn's harvest, and it wasn't that dirty, so cleaning it was quite quick.
After the canteen was cleaned up, everyone locked up and went home. The two aunties reminded them not to worry about the food and vegetables, and told them not to come too late the next morning to avoid gossip. Wenxi also needed to cut pig feed, so she could come a little late, but it couldn't affect the cooking.
During the busy farming season, the food supply for the communal canteen was shared by everyone, with the team paying half and each family paying the other half. Vegetables were provided by the families. Before starting work in the morning, everyone would bring a basket of vegetables. The five women only needed to cook and wash the dishes; they didn't need to worry about anything else.
Wenxi decided to use her best tricks and give it a good performance so that the three of them could gain a foothold in the cafeteria and no one would want to kick them out.
Back home, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue rested for a while before taking their baskets to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots. Wen Xi went to cook dinner. After cooking the rice, Wen Xi sat behind the stove, took out the letter He Chen'an had written to her, and began to read it.
"My dearest Xiaoxi, I started missing you as soon as you got on the bus, so I'm writing this letter... I'll write to you every day from now on... Although I've never been to the countryside, I know how hard the work is. Now that you have me, you don't have to work so hard. Ask the team leader to let you switch to an easier job. Leave the food problem to me, I won't let you go hungry... Remember to think of me... I'm really looking forward to seeing you again..."
"I miss you, An."
After reading He Chen'an's letter, Wen Xi almost burst out laughing. She really didn't expect that He Chen'an, who was so serious and unsmiling, would be like this in private.
In Lin Yiwan's world, he would be described as an affectionate little puppy.
However, Wen Xi was quite touched by He Chen'an's concern. Her older sister and brother-in-law only wanted to scheme against her. When she had been in the countryside for two years, they tricked her into returning with a letter, ruining her life. They would never care about her hard work like He Chen'an did, afraid that she was tired, and suggested that she apply to do something easier.
Wen Xi got up and went back to her room. She took out some writing paper and began to write a reply to He Chen'an, briefly sharing her life in the countryside with him.
After writing the letter, Wenxi put it in an envelope and affixed the stamp. The first time she went to the post office, she bought a lot of envelopes and stamps to make it easier to write home, and now they came in handy.
Since she was going to the post office to mail a letter anyway, Wenxi decided to send one home. So she took out a few more sheets of paper and wrote a letter to her parents. It didn't matter if they didn't receive it; she just needed to prove that she had written it.
As for her second brother, she didn't know where he was, so she couldn't write to him. He had just gone there and she hadn't received any letters from him yet when her eldest sister signed her up to go to the countryside. Her eldest sister didn't want her to have any contact with the family, so naturally she wouldn't tell her her second brother's address.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue each carried a basket of bamboo shoots back. Before it got dark, they dumped the bamboo shoots on the ground and then went back to the bamboo forest to continue picking bamboo shoots.
It wasn't safe to pick bamboo shoots on the mountain after dark, but it was fine to eat dinner at home after dark, so they decided to pick bamboo shoots first and then eat. Wenxi didn't care about them; she was only responsible for cooking anyway.
Because Wenxi still had to teach Zhao Yuanyuan and her sister, she didn't wait for Chen Jiaojiao and the others. She ate dinner first, washed up, and then taught them when Zhao Yuanyuan and the others arrived.
When Yan Zheng returned to Fengshou Dadu from Wenxi yesterday, the anesthesia wore off and he woke up. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the white roof, which puzzled him greatly.
Wasn't he stabbed two or three times? He knew he was doomed, so why could he still open his eyes?
Did he not die, or was it time for him to come to another world?
When Yan's mother, who was keeping watch by her son's bedside, saw him open his eyes, she was overjoyed and tears streamed down her face. "Son, you're awake? That's wonderful! I was worried all night."
"Mom?" Yan Zheng frowned. "Where am I?"
“This is the hospital. You just woke up after your surgery. You need to rest and recuperate now. Don’t worry about anything else,” said Mother Yan.
"How did I end up in the hospital?" It was a long, deep alley with walls on both sides of other people's houses, but no gates, and very few people walked that way.
“It was Xiaoxi,” Mother Yan said. “The doctor said that if you had been brought in any later, you would have died from excessive blood loss. It was Wenxi who found you and dragged you to the hospital all by herself, which saved your life. She is a great benefactor to our family. She not only saved Lili, but now she has saved you. We can never repay this great kindness in our lifetime.”
"Xiaoxi?" Yan Zheng was startled and tried to sit up, but he aggravated his wound, causing him to turn pale with pain. His mother quickly pressed him down, preventing him from moving. "Son, you should focus on healing your wound first. Once you're fully recovered, you can go to the countryside to find Xiaoxi. You can't go to find Xiaoxi like this!"
Yan Zheng thought about it and realized that if he went to find Xiaoxi in his current state, wouldn't he just be causing her trouble?
"Xiaoxi, how is she? Did the police give her any trouble?" Yan Zheng asked. Wenxi's inexplicable appearance at the scene of his accident meant she had to go to the police station for a routine statement. He wondered if their serious attitude would frighten her.
