Since I'm not feeling well, I won't sleep. I'll just use up some energy and I'll definitely fall asleep soon.
Wenxi came to the courtyard. The autumn night sky was particularly beautiful, with stars scattered everywhere. Each star was especially bright, as if it could blink.
Suddenly hearing a noise outside, Wenxi perked up, took out her flashlight, went to the door, pressed her ear to the door, and quietly listened to the sounds outside.
The sound kept coming from one place, and it didn't seem like bad guys were about to break in, so Wenxi opened the courtyard gate and shone her flashlight in that direction.
Lin Chuyang was seen carrying firewood from the wooden cart to the ground. The firewood was made of bamboo strips, and it seemed that the bamboo strips and firewood that appeared outside the door that night were brought by Lin Chuyang.
"Comrade Lin Chuyang, what are you doing?" Wen Xi asked, puzzled.
When Lin Chuyang saw Wen Xi, he was so startled that he dropped the bamboo strips in his arms. He was very embarrassed and said, "I...I didn't do anything. I just wanted to bring you some firewood. I see that you work every day and don't have time to chop firewood. I was afraid you wouldn't have any firewood."
"Comrade Lin Chuyang, thank you for your kindness, but we have enough firewood at home, enough to last us about a year. So please don't worry about us, and don't send us firewood anymore." Wen Xi smiled and declined Lin Chuyang's offer. It wasn't a big deal; why accept something that wasn't his?
Lin Chuyang nodded. "Okay, I won't send it anymore, and I won't bother you."
"Could you help me move the rest of the firewood behind the door? Otherwise, I'll have to move it again tomorrow." After saying that, Wen Xi turned around and went into the room. After thinking for a moment, she took out ten catties of dried seafood, intending to use it to exchange for the firewood that Lin Chuyang had given her for the two trips.
As for many other things, Lin Yiwan already has them. If Lin Chuyang takes them back and Lin Yiwan sees them, she will probably suspect whether Wen Xi has any connection with her space.
After Lin Chuyang carried all the bamboo strips from the wooden cart into the yard, Wen Xi handed the dried seafood to Lin Chuyang. "Comrade Lin Chuyang, this is dried seafood that my family sent me. Soak it in warm water for a few hours, and then cook it like any other dish. Consider it an exchange of firewood between us."
She had never known who delivered the first load of firewood that night, but when she saw the firewood delivered by Lin Chuyang today, she knew it was Lin Chuyang who delivered it.
At that time, she and Lin Chuyang had just met and were not familiar with each other at all. She didn't know why Lin Chuyang would bring her firewood. Was he thanking her for pulling him out of the ditch?
"Wenxi, do you have a boyfriend?" Lin Chuyang asked cautiously as he took the dried seafood.
Wen Xi was somewhat surprised, but then seemed to understand something, smiled faintly, and said, "I have a boyfriend, and if nothing unexpected happens, we should get married."
Although she and He Chen'an have already discussed marriage, their parents haven't met yet, so it's really hard to say whether they will be able to get married successfully.
This year she has family leave, so she can go home for the Chinese New Year. She will talk to her parents about He Chen'an then.
"I understand, I know. I wish you happiness," Lin Chuyang said, feeling a little regretful. If he had told Wen Xi his thoughts directly when they first met, would the outcome have been different?
"Comrade Lin Chuyang, I hope you can keep my matter a secret and not let it get out," Wen Xi instructed.
Lin Chuyang nodded, "Don't worry, I won't say a word about your affairs."
Wenxi had helped him before, how could he repay kindness with enmity? Even if they couldn't be together, they could still be friends!
After Lin Chuyang left, Wen Xi closed the courtyard gate and went back to her room to rest. This time, she fell asleep not long after lying down. However, before closing her eyes, she went to the warehouse to check the things inside to make sure that the things exchanged from the parallel universe and the things given by the Qin family were all there, and then she felt relieved.
Perhaps it was because the task was too tiring. Wenxi usually gets up very early in the morning, but the next morning she woke up an hour later than usual.
When Wenxi woke up in the morning and saw the time on her watch, she was startled. This was the first time she had ever woken up so late. It seems that doing missions always has some aftereffects.
Thinking about making breakfast, Wenxi quickly got up and went straight to the kitchen without even washing up. She started boiling water and then brought out the breakfast.
Three boiled eggs, a plate of pancakes, a bowl of mixed grain porridge, and a bowl of pickled cowpeas.
It may seem simple, but it is incredibly abundant in this era.
Even though she lived with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue and saw them every day, when they came over for breakfast, Wenxi felt as if she had been separated from them for three months.
"That feels so good." After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Jiaojiao slumped on the stool, rubbing her round belly with her hands.
After resting for a while, Shen Jiaojiao quickly stood up to clear the dishes and wash them. She had never forgotten her role in the family.
After Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went out to work, Wen Xi locked the courtyard gate and went back to her room to rest. This mission still had a lot of lingering effects on her.
It wasn't until noon that the knocking on the door woke Wenxi up. Wenxi sat up in bed, rubbed her eyes, and after a short while, quickly went out to open the door.
"Comrade Wen, does Comrade Jiang Yue also live here?" the postman asked after handing Wen Xi her letter.
“Yes, Jiang Yue often helps me receive mail; you should have met her.” Wen Xi nodded.
The postman handed over Jiang Yue's letter. "Comrade Wen, could you please sign for Jiang Yue's letter?"
"It's no trouble at all. She often signs for my mail too." Wen Xi took the form from the postman, signed for the letter for Jiang Yue, and closed the courtyard gate after the postman rode away on his bicycle.
She went to the kitchen first to bring out lunch, and then went back to her room to check her letter. He Chen'an said there was news about her job and asked her to come to the park they often went to in the county town tomorrow at noon so they could talk to people about the job together.
Wen Xi sighed helplessly. She really looked down on a job that paid only thirty yuan a month because she was not short of money at all. Now she could understand why Lin Yiwan chose to stay in the countryside when she had the opportunity to move to the city.
She's so rich, she'd definitely be more comfortable staying in the countryside. If she went to the city, she could work hard for a month and still not earn as much as she does in a second!
Wenxi is also unwilling to go to the city now, because she can't do business or do whatever she wants at this time. It's more comfortable to stay in the countryside.
She had finally gained a foothold in the countryside, and no one dared to cause her any trouble. Going to the city now would mean starting all over again, which would be too much of a hassle.
