Wen Xi stared wide-eyed in surprise. These strawberries were bigger than eggs! Were they really wild? Wild strawberries should only be the size of a fingernail, right?
Therefore, such a large strawberry must be a product of Lin Yiwan's space.
Lin Yiwan patted the basket and instructed, "Xiaoxi, keep these strawberries for yourself and eat them slowly."
People have varying degrees of closeness and distance. Lin Yiwan may consider her a friend, but she may not consider Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue as friends as well. Wen Xi can give her own things to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, but if she gives them Lin Yiwan's things, it would be like offering something borrowed from someone else.
"I understand, thank you Yiwan. I will definitely enjoy the wild strawberries you gave me." Wen Xi smiled brightly, then carried the strawberries back to her room. She stored the strawberries in her system warehouse, and then came out with an empty basket. "Yiwan, I don't have anything to thank you with, but I have a few tickets here. See if you need any!"
Lin Yiwan glanced down and said, "Then I'll take a sex ticket!"
Wen Xi nodded, "Take whatever you want!"
In this era, no one was cultivating fruit extensively, so fruit production was extremely low and prices remained high. The basket of strawberries Lin Yiwan gave her today was not cheap at all; it was worth much more than meat.
Lin Yiwan finally picked out a meat coupon for one pound and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
After Lin Yiwan left, Wenxi washed two strawberries and tasted them. They were very juicy, sweet and sour, and had a strong fruity aroma. She wanted to eat more, but there was only one basket, and Wenxi couldn't bear to eat it all at once, so she saved it to eat slowly.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue brought back a basket full of bamboo shoots and dumped them on the kitchen floor. Then the three of them went to the cafeteria together. There was a basket at the entrance of the cafeteria. Wen Xi looked at it curiously and was surprised to find that it contained ten eggs.
Thinking that Captain Qian must have brought it over to make soup for everyone, Wenxi took the eggs inside. If she couldn't afford meat, she could afford a few eggs, right?
Just as Wenxi finished tidying up and was about to make dinner, someone called her from outside. It sounded like the postman's voice. Wenxi quickly went out, took the letter from the postman, and then handed him the two letters she needed to mail. "Comrade, I have two letters here. Could you please take them back and deliver them for me?"
One letter was addressed to He Chen'an, and the other was a letter of complaint sent home.
The postman was speechless when he saw the addresses on the envelopes. One address was in the county town, and the other was in Fengshou Brigade. They were both within walking distance, yet he still had to send a letter.
Doesn't sending a letter cost money?
The postman nodded and put the letter into the cloth bag. Anyway, it wasn't costing him any money; he just needed to do his job.
The postman rode away on his bicycle. Wen Xi glanced down at the envelope. It was He Chen'an again. What was he trying to do? Did he want to send a letter every day?
Are doctors really that relaxed?
Wen Xi put the letter in the system warehouse, then turned around and went back to the cafeteria to start preparing dinner.
As it was getting dark, the day's work finally came to an end. Everyone tidied up the cafeteria, locked the door, and went home.
After spring arrived, the days were longer. Wenxi could no longer go out at five or six in the morning like she did in the winter. She set an alarm in the system and got up at three. After washing up, she went to the kitchen to cook breakfast. Then she weighed the bamboo shoots that Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had picked. She was surprised to find that the two of them had picked several hundred pounds of bamboo shoots.
A single basket can hold dozens of kilograms, and if you harvest two baskets a day, that's almost a hundred kilograms, so it's normal to have so many bamboo shoots.
Wenxi wasn't sure if bamboo shoots could be sold right now, so she didn't plan to start selling them. Even if she were to sell bamboo shoots, she would need to let people know how delicious they were, but she didn't have that much time right now, so she decided to sell fish instead!
Wenxi packed all the bamboo shoots into the large sacks she had signed for, piled them up in a corner of the system warehouse, and then set off.
It's still quite early; the sky is just beginning to lighten, and the moon is very dim because it will naturally disappear as dawn approaches.
Wenxi walked towards the town under the dim moonlight. She set off early because she was afraid that she wouldn't have a place to put the things she wanted to trade when it got light.
When Wenxi arrived in town, it was just past four o'clock. It was still dark, but not pitch black either; she could see some shadowy figures.
Wen Xi found a place to hide what she was going to sell, and then went to find the black market boss. This time she didn't use the 'Rejuvenation Pill' again, because there were only so many in one glass bottle, and she wanted to save some to deal with her older sister and brother-in-law when she returned to the city. In addition, she signed for a wig and cosmetics. She dressed herself up as a fifty-year-old woman, pretending to be delivering goods for the boss, so that the boss would think she was the subordinate of the 'man' from before.
Since it was a rare opportunity for her to come to town, and He Chen'an was sending her a letter every day, she planned to finish her transaction with the black market and then squeeze out some time to visit He Chen'an.
Although they were making friends, they didn't know much about each other. Wen Xi only knew He Chen'an's name, job, and dormitory, but didn't know where he was from.
She would never marry far away, so if He Chen'an's hometown was particularly far from her home, she would not hesitate to cut off all contact without any hesitation.
No matter how outstanding He Chen'an is, she will not marry far away. Life away from home is inherently difficult, and these past few years have been unavoidable. When she no longer needs to suffer, she will not endure the hardship of being away from home again.
Of course, if He Chen'an is willing to return to Beijing with her and settle down there, she might consider it.
This time, Wenxi traded fish and pearl face cream. She asked for two thousand yuan in cash and half of the gold, silver, and jade items. Since prices were cheap at the time, she naturally wanted to exchange more.
When we run out of money in the future, we can take it out and sell it.
After the transaction, Wenxi headed straight for the county town. The county town was quite far away, and there were no cars available at that time, so Wenxi had to run and walk.
Thinking that she had accumulated many sign-in opportunities, Wenxi walked and signed in as she went. She saw that the sign-in vehicle was a strangely shaped vehicle, with two wheels like a bicycle, but not as slender as a bicycle.
Wenxi curiously clicked on the instructions and was surprised to find that it was an electric bicycle. She didn't know what kind of vehicle it was, but she still tried it according to the instructions. To her surprise, she didn't need to pedal and it was even faster than a bicycle, practically flying at lightning speed.
She didn't understand how she had gotten the hang of it so quickly. Anyway, she rode the electric bicycle and arrived near the county hospital in less than twenty minutes.
