Wenxi closed the courtyard gate, and Shen Jiaojiao said shyly, "Xiaoxi, I know you're thanking everyone for what happened yesterday. It's all because of me that you had to spend so much money."
"It's all in the past, so don't dwell on it anymore. Be more careful in the future." Wen Xi reached out and poked Shen Jiaojiao's forehead in exasperation.
She almost fell for Lu Xiaoyun...
Fortunately, she came down the mountain earlier than usual, otherwise she would have been too late for anything.
Shen Jiaojiao playfully stuck out her tongue, "I know, this won't happen again."
Wenxi was going to Qin Mi's house on Sunday to help him decorate. Thinking about his empty courtyard, Wenxi felt it was a pity. So, after lunch on Saturday, Wenxi took some money and tickets and went out.
The first house Wen Xi visited was Ge Chenglan's. She knocked on the door, and soon Ge Chenglan came out to open it. When she saw Wen Xi, she smiled broadly.
Wenxi traded dried mushrooms with her, which gave her money and coupons, significantly improving her family's standard of living and bringing smiles to her child's face.
"Wenxi, you're here! Come in quickly." Ge Chenglan warmly invited Wenxi into the room.
"Auntie, I don't have anything to do today, so I won't go in. I just wanted to ask if you have any vegetable seeds. Could you exchange some for me? Any kind of vegetable seeds will do." Wenxi said, handing over the tickets in her hand. "Auntie, please see if you have any tickets you need."
The seeds now require a permit from the village to be purchased; otherwise, Wenxi would definitely go directly to the seed station to buy more, so that if they can't be planted all in one year, they can save them for later planting.
These old varieties of fruits and vegetables are really delicious!
We won't be able to eat these old varieties anymore.
Ge Chenglan said with a smile, "We rural families have plenty of everything, but we certainly have plenty of vegetable seeds. Every household keeps seeds of all kinds of vegetables. I'll go and get you some of each kind."
"Thank you so much, Auntie," Wenxi said happily.
Soon, Ge Chenglan brought over a few small paper packets and handed them to Wenxi. "Wenxi, these newspaper packets are for plants planted in the spring, and the notebook packets are for plants planted in the fall. It's still not too late to plant them now."
"Thank you, Auntie. Please see what you need." Wenxi took the vegetable seeds and handed over the tickets.
Ge Chenglan hesitated before taking a sugar coupon, because sugar doesn't have such a strong smell as meat. If her family cooked meat, everyone around them would smell it, and people would gossip about them, wondering where the meat came from and whether it was sent by another man.
That's how it is in the countryside; everyone knows your neighbors, which isn't necessarily a good thing, because everyone knows what you do.
"Auntie, are you just choosing one candy coupon? Don't you want any other coupons?" Wenxi asked to confirm.
Since she didn't know how much the seeds were worth, she could only let Ge Chenglan choose for herself, as long as she didn't feel like she was being taken advantage of.
"That's enough, that's enough, thank you. If you ever need anything in the future, just come and find me," Ge Chenglan said with a smile.
She's living a really good life now. She only needs to take care of herself and her child, and the child can even help her out. Compared to before, she's really relaxed now.
However, her ex-husband Deng Shouquan is having a hard time. Widow Shen didn't want to marry him or be with him. She wanted to find several men, but Deng Shouquan ruined her plans. Now she can only be tied to Deng Shouquan.
How could Widow Shen not hate Deng Shouquan? Deng Shouquan ruined all her good days.
So Widow Shen would talk to Deng Shouquan in a sarcastic and sarcastic way every day at home, forcing him to do everything.
Ge Chenglan felt a great sense of satisfaction watching Deng Shouquan being bullied, thinking he deserved it. Who told him to treat her badly before? Who told him to cheat on her?
He had a good life but chose to court disaster. Now let him pay the price he deserves!
After exchanging vegetable seeds with Ge Chenglan, Wenxi went to Chang Qingqing's house next door to exchange some more. She wasn't sure if she could get seedlings next year, so she exchanged some seeds now so she could have vegetables to eat next year.
Although Lin Yiwan gave her a lot of fruits and vegetables, she couldn't just not grow any, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
On Sunday morning, Wenxi got up before dawn, cooked breakfast, put the dishes for lunch and dinner in the cupboard, and left home early.
Once they reached the country road outside the village, Wenxi took out her electric bicycle and sped off like lightning in the cool morning breeze.
Wenxi put away her electric bicycle in the woods outside the county town, then changed her clothes and hairstyle. Because it was getting light and there were many people in the county town, if someone saw her electric bicycle, she would be doomed.
When Wenxi walked to the gate of the courtyard with her basket on her back, beads of sweat had already seeped from her forehead, and she felt unbearably hot all over.
Seeing that the guard was the same Xiao Wei she had met before, Wen Xi walked over and said, "Comrade Wei, hello. I've come to deliver something to Director Qin."
“You can go in directly, but your belongings will need to be checked,” Xiao Wei said.
This is not a place for just anyone to come, but Wenxi is Director Qin's family member, so of course she can come. However, her belongings must be checked, in case she brings something that is not allowed and it affects everyone.
"Okay." Wenxi handed the basket to Xiaowei.
Xiao Wei took out the items one by one and carefully inspected them.
Inside was a prepared duck, a packet of green dates, two packets of dried mushrooms, a jar of pickled cabbage, a black carp, and the rest were various vegetables.
"What is this?" Xiao Wei asked, picking up a small ball of paper.
"These are vegetable seeds. You can open them and take a look," Wenxi hurriedly explained.
Xiao Wei opened the small paper packet to check and confirmed that it contained vegetable seeds. He then put it away again, saying, "Comrade, this is for our work. Please don't blame us!"
“I understand,” Wen Xi nodded.
The people living here are all extraordinary. If bad guys were to sneak in, what would happen?
After checking, Xiao Wei handed the basket to Wen Xi, saying, "You can go in now."
"Thank you, Comrade Wei. This bag of dried mushrooms is for you. It's nothing valuable. Take it home and add a dish to your family's meal!" Wen Xi quickly put the bag of dried mushrooms on the ground and ran inside with her basket on her back.
Not long after Wen Xi left, an elderly couple who were out for their morning exercise came over. The old lady looked at Wen Xi's departing figure and asked curiously, "Xiao Wei, who was that woman just now? She looked so unfamiliar."
"Those are Director Qin's family members; they're here to deliver something to Director Qin," Xiao Wei explained.
