"Yiwan, it's alright, forget about these unhappy things!" Wen Xi walked over, hugged Lin Yiwan from behind, and comforted her.
Lin Yiwan put her hand on Wen Xi's arm and said with a smile, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
This kind of thing would be a life-or-death matter for girls in this era, but for her, it was a trivial matter. Besides, Lin Jing didn't succeed. If he had, it would have been like being bitten by a mad dog. She wouldn't be so dramatic about it.
What saddened her was that they had grown up together, yet Lin Jing harbored such malicious intentions towards her. She trusted him so much and never thought much of it. Now that something like this had happened, she no longer dared to trust those she had grown up with.
"I know what happened. Thank you for appearing in time to save me, otherwise I would have felt disgusted to death." Even though I don't have anyone I like now, it's still disgusting to do it with someone I don't like.
Men and women have different levels of acceptance. Men don't care about emotional connection, so they can have a one-night stand with a woman they've just met. But women can't. If it's not a man they like, even a touch will make them feel uncomfortable, let alone something more intimate.
"Look what I brought you!" Wenxi proudly presented a net bag containing four large pears.
Lin Yiwan's eyes widened. "Xiaoxi, where did you get such a big pear? Did you pick it from the mountain?"
“My friend brought these to me. I gave you four. Try them.” Wenxi placed the pears on the table.
"Xiaoxi, thank you for coming to see me. I'm not that fragile, don't worry about me," Lin Yiwan said.
Wen Xi knew, of course, that Lin Yiwan wasn't that fragile. She was the female lead, with the female lead's halo. It's just that her life was now completely different from the original story, and no one knew what the future held.
"Okay, then I'll head back now. I'll come find you again when I have time."
When Wenxi returned home, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were no longer there. So Wenxi took paper and pen from her desk, then slipped into the system kitchen, used the processing table as a desk, and lay there writing about watermelon cultivation.
She finished writing quickly, and then Wenxi started processing the snails. That's right, all the bamboo shoots had been processed. Unexpectedly, the bamboo shoots earned her nearly 10,000 yuan.
When they first started harvesting bamboo shoots, they bought them for 0.5 yuan per pound. In total, each of the four of them received more than 200 yuan. They had been picking bamboo shoots for several months during their off-work hours and earned so much money, which was quite good.
Next, Wenxi started making braised snails. She first put the snails into the high-tech smart machine, pressed 'clean snails', and then it cleaned them automatically.
After the snails were cleaned, she took one out to look at it. It was clean, and there wasn't even a trace of green moss on the snail shell.
Unsure if the snails would sell, Wenxi didn't produce too many. She only made two hundred jin (100 kg) and took one hundred jin to the black market to test the waters. If they sold, she would continue production.
After leaving the system kitchen, it was still early outside, so Wenxi tidied up and set off.
The double harvest season is the hottest time of the year. Even at around 8 or 9 in the morning, the air is already stiflingly hot.
Although Tang Xiaoyun paid other women to help her with the work, it was the busiest time of year. Even Captain Qian and the village officials were busy in the fields, so no one else could help her. She could only pretend to help.
The rice harvested yesterday has already lost its moisture, so today we need to assign some people to bundle the rice and transport it to the threshing ground.
There was water in the rice paddies, and it was too hot to wear boots to go in during this season, so everyone wore straw sandals to go into the rice paddies. The rice straw roots and wild grass scratched the insteps and ankles, leaving some red marks. After the sweat flowed down, they were soaked and felt very uncomfortable.
Moreover, the dried straw left scratches on her arms and face. Tang Xiaoyun complained as she worked, and she was even more jealous of Wen Xi, who didn't have to be exposed to the sun.
Why is it that everyone is going to the countryside to support rural development, but she has to work hard in the fields while Wenxi can comfortably hide in the kitchen?
But I'm not very good at cooking. I can't even cook for a few people, let alone hundreds.
The aunties, who were used to farm work, discussed the matter of Zhao Mingzhu and Qian Chunxing breaking off their engagement. Yesterday evening, after dinner, the two families took advantage of the short break to break off the engagement directly.
Zhao Mingzhu's family took back all the betrothal gifts and other items that had been delivered.
Qian Chunxing was never favored at home, otherwise she wouldn't have been jealous of Ling Xiao, let alone snatched away the person Ling Xiao liked. Therefore, Qian Chunxing's family was very angry about the annulment of the engagement. However, when they thought that Li Wei came from a big city and would take Qian Chunxing and the others back to the city with him, they not only didn't blame Qian Chunxing for announcing the engagement, but also happily accepted it. They even had Qian Chunxing and Li Wei "snatch" the engagement together and then got things done.
However, remembering that Zhu Jiawen had a wife in his hometown but then married another wife after coming to the countryside, Qian Chunxing's family became more cautious. They had someone in the family who knew how to write a letter write to Li Wei's family, informing them that Li Wei and Qian Chunxing were getting married and inviting them to the wedding.
After all, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event. If the parents don't attend their son's wedding, wouldn't that leave a regret for his life?
It can be said that Qian Chunxing's family members are quite good at reasoning with her and appealing to her emotions.
Then, amidst everyone's gossip, Tang Xiaoyun suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed dramatically. She only felt a sharp pain in her cheek from being poked by straw roots.
Before she closed her eyes, she was relieved that the straw root hadn't poked her eyes, otherwise she might have gone blind.
"Comrade Tang has fainted!" someone exclaimed.
"He probably has heatstroke!"
"Tang Xiaoyun, Tang Xiaoyun!" Upon seeing this, Tian Xiaoke and Wang Caiyun hurriedly put down the straw they were holding and ran over to help Tang Xiaoyun up.
Captain Qian rushed over and, seeing her flushed cheeks, immediately realized she had heatstroke. He hurriedly said, "Quickly, take Comrade Tang to the clinic."
Tian Xiaoke and Wang Caiyun were also exhausted and couldn't lift Tang Xiaoyun at all. Captain Qian had to call an auntie over to help, and the three of them hurriedly carried Tang Xiaoyun into the clinic.
The doctor quickly treated Tang Xiaoyun.
When Wen Xi and Shen Jiaojiao came over to bring everyone mint water, they learned that Tang Xiaoyun had suffered from heatstroke. Shen Jiaojiao was secretly relieved that Wen Xi had the foresight to cook with her and Jiang Yue, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have been able to endure doing farm work under such scorching sun.
