“Yes, yes.” Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue nodded repeatedly. Wen Xi had already taken good care of them, allowing them to live a good life they never dared to dream of before. They couldn’t be supported by Wen Xi forever, after all, Wen Xi was always in the team and she didn’t have a job. If she were to be supported by her forever, how heavy would her burden be!
"Okay, it's settled then. From now on, the three of us will do our jobs just like before, each fulfilling our responsibilities and striving to make our little family even better so that everyone can live a better life." Wenxi was only able to get together with them because she knew their character from her past life.
She's not a saint; she doesn't care about other people's affairs, nor does she have the ability to do so. She only needs to take care of the three sisters.
"Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, I need to go up the mountain to collect pig feed tomorrow morning. I'll be at the canteen around 10 a.m. Please prepare the food for me," Wenxi said.
Both of them nodded repeatedly. Cooking was a task for all three of them, and they couldn't expect Wenxi to do everything all the time.
After the water boiled, Shen Jiaojiao filled both thermos flasks with hot water, then poured a bucket of well water into the pot, and Wen Xi added a few pieces of firewood.
After Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue finished washing up, Wen Xi took out the letter written by He Chen'an. That's right, the postman delivered another letter to Wen Xi today. It really was one letter a day. Wen Xi didn't know where He Chen'an got so much to say to her.
After reading the letter, Wen Xi put it together with the previous letters. She wanted to see just how many letters He Chen'an was going to write to her.
Just as Wenxi was about to wash up, she suddenly heard a knock at the door. She went to open it and saw Aunt Meihua standing outside with a bamboo basket. Wenxi smiled and said, "Aunt Meihua, what brings you here?"
"Xiaoxi, didn't you say you wanted to raise chickens? I caught three chicks for you. Because I raised them for a few more days, they're two cents each, so they're six cents in total. Two are females and one is male. They're still small, so they need to be fed rice bran and wheat bran. Once they're a little bigger, we can go to the ditch to collect snails to feed them." Aunt Meihua handed the basket hanging on her arm to Wenxi.
"Aunt Meihua, thank you so much. I'm really sorry to have troubled you." Wenxi quickly took the basket, lifted the old cloth on top, and found three chicks and a small bag of rice bran inside.
Wenxi was deeply moved. She never expected that Aunt Meihua would still remember this matter after several months.
Wenxi took the chicks out and put them into the chicken coop that had been set up beforehand. Then she took the rice bran into the house and put in two pieces of cured meat weighing one pound each, as well as a packet of brown sugar, all of which she had signed in for.
Captain Qian and Aunt Meihua had taken good care of the three of them, and she didn't know how to repay them. Luckily, she had some things, so she would use them to express her gratitude!
After Wenxi came out, he first handed six cents to Aunt Meihua, and then handed the basket to her. Aunt Meihua felt the weight inside the basket, and her smile broadened even more.
She knew that Wenxi was a very straightforward and good-natured girl.
"Xiaoxi, your Uncle Qian wants you to write down the money spent on eggs, pig offal, and seasonings. We'll settle the expenses with you after spring planting is over so you can cook for everyone. We can't expect you to spend money on treating everyone to food and drinks," Aunt Meihua instructed.
Wen Xi was quite surprised. She hadn't bought the eggs and offal. The ones she had bought were still in the system's warehouse and she hadn't taken them out to eat!
But now it seems that it wasn't Captain Qian who bought it?
So who could it be?
Since she didn't know who bought them, Wenxi didn't say much. Instead, she smiled and saw Aunt Meihua off. She knew she wouldn't take advantage of Aunt Meihua if she hadn't bought them.
Who in the team would be so generous as to send so many things?
Besides her, the only other one is the female lead, Lin Yiwan, right?
So the eggs and pig offal must have been put there by Lin Yiwan, right?
But she couldn't let Lin Yiwan know that she had already guessed that Lin Yiwan had put these things there, otherwise Lin Yiwan would definitely suspect why she knew these things, and whether she knew more.
When someone knows too much about their own secrets, it becomes a time bomb, a threat. At that point, Lin Yiwan might break off their relationship with her or even try to harm her. So, she decided to just pretend she knew nothing.
Wenxi brought two old bowls, put one with water and the other with rice husks, and placed them in the chicken coop. The chicks would have something to eat when they were hungry and water to drink when they were thirsty, so no one had to worry about them.
In a few months, her family will have a steady supply of eggs.
When the time came, Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui came to class.
Wenxi is currently teaching them the third-grade curriculum, and in two months she will be able to teach them the junior high school curriculum. At that time, she can help Chen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue review the junior high school curriculum together. Neither of them went to high school, so she needs to solidify their junior high school knowledge first before she can teach them the high school curriculum.
The college degrees of previous graduates were highly prestigious. Even if you didn't get into university, getting into a junior college was still a very honorable thing.
After class, Wenxi went back to her room to rest.
The next morning, Wenxi ate breakfast and set off early to climb the mountain. Under the morning moonlight, she headed straight for the waterfall. First, she watered the fruits and vegetables, and then she planted the orange seeds she had saved from the winter. The climate and temperature here were suitable for oranges to grow, but at this time no one was planting oranges on a large scale.
She probably won't be able to eat the oranges she planted here, but she can wait until they sprout and the saplings grow to about a meter tall, then dig up a few and take them with her. Wherever she lives in the future, she can plant a few orange trees in her yard.
Lin Yiwan gave Wenxi a basket of strawberries, including both white and red ones. She collected some seeds from both colors and planted them near the waterfall.
The strawberries were a token of Lin Yiwan's affection. She couldn't use them to express her good wishes, but she could grow her own. The strawberries she grew could then be given to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue.
The scenery on the mountain in spring is truly beautiful. Flowers, grasses and trees sprout tender green buds, and some wildflowers bloom early. The air in the mountains is very fresh, and the fragrance of the trees is invigorating.
Because of the blooming flowers, Wenxi discovered quite a few fruit trees along the way. Judging from the colors of the blossoms, she thought they resembled pear, peach, apricot, plum, jujube, and persimmon trees...
As for whether it is true or not, we'll know once the trees bear fruit.
Anyway, only she knows about this mountain valley, so all these wild fruits will be hers alone.
