However, since He Chen'an has done so much for her, she can't be ungrateful. She will go see He Chen'an tomorrow and have a good talk with him about how she really doesn't need to work right now.
When Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue returned, Wen Xi handed the letter to Jiang Yue, saying, "Xiao Yue, there's a letter for you."
Jiang Yue looked at Wen Xi with great surprise, because she had been in the countryside for almost a year, and this was the first time someone had sent her a letter. It was really too rare. She hurriedly took the letter, and her face changed immediately when she saw the address and handwriting on it.
She didn't eat then, and took the letter back to her room.
When Jiang Yue came out again after a while, her face looked particularly pale. Wen Xi pushed the food in front of her and asked worriedly, "Xiao Yue, what happened? Why do you look so pale?"
Jiang Yue picked up her rice bowl and said while eating, "My family wrote to me, scolding me for being unfilial and saying that I don't send food and money home. Don't they think about how much money they gave me in the first place? Besides, I'm in the south, not the resource-rich northeast."
Wenxi thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to send it, just complain to them that you've been sick and taking medicine here, so you haven't done many work points, haven't received much food, and have a medical bill debt. Ask them to send you money and tickets. If they see that you have nothing and are asking them for things instead, they'll probably just be angry and won't ask you for anything anymore."
Almost a year has passed since I went to the countryside, and only now have I remembered that I have a daughter named Jiang Yue. As a result, the letter I wrote was not to show concern for her, but to ask for things.
If it weren't for Wen Xi's rebirth and the sign-in system, Jiang Yue would probably have been betrayed by Nie Xiulan long ago, married Qian Liang, and lived a miserable life instead of the life she has now.
Do they really not know how hard it is for educated youth sent to the countryside?
They knew that every year, educated youth would return home for the Spring Festival, and they could see what the educated youth were like. They just didn't treat Jiang Yue like their daughter and didn't feel sorry for her!
I was just hoping to get something, even a small amount, than nothing!
Jiang Yue nodded and continued, "My mom also said that my brother signed up to go to the countryside and will be coming to our area. She asked me to take good care of him. He'll be here soon, and he might even be able to harvest the late rice!"
"Huh?" Wen Xi was taken aback. These things didn't happen in her previous life. Then she thought of Gu Huai'an and his group. Many things were different from her previous life, so it was normal for Jiang Yue's younger brother to go to the countryside.
After all, Jiang Yue's family has many children, and each family can only leave one child at home, while the rest have to go to the countryside.
If Wenxi hadn't signed everyone up last year, she probably would have had to sign up this year too, because her second brother isn't married yet and hasn't gone to the countryside, and her two younger brothers aren't old enough. Even if she could find a job, she would still have to go to the countryside, which is something she can't help.
“Xiaoyue, I’m not afraid of making you angry. You know our family’s situation. If we let your brother move in, we’ll be exposed. So I won’t let your brother move in. If you’re reluctant to let your brother live in the dormitory at the educated youth settlement, then build him a thatched hut next to Xia Minglei and Wu Guoqiang’s house so he can live alone.”
Jiang Yue knew that if her younger brother really came to the Harvest Brigade, he would definitely pester her if she didn't take care of him, and he would definitely cause trouble in Wenxi's place. She didn't want to affect her relationship with Wenxi because of this worthless younger brother.
"Xiaoxi, when my brother comes over, please be a little harsh on me, don't let him realize we're too close," Jiang Yue said.
Wen Xi nodded. "Okay, I'm pretty good at acting. If he insists on staying at my house, I'll send you back to the educated youth settlement too."
"I'll go back and write a letter first. When the postman comes tomorrow at noon, could you please give him the letter for me?" Jiang Yue hurriedly finished her rice and was about to get up.
Wen Xi hurriedly said, "Give it to me as soon as you finish writing it, I'm going out tomorrow."
"Where are you going?" Jiang Yue asked hurriedly.
Wen Xi sensed something was off. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yue had never asked where she went before, so why was she so curious today?
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Jiang Yue smiled awkwardly, then got up and went back to her room to write a letter.
Shen Jiaojiao leaned over the table and snuggled close to Wen Xi, asking mysteriously, "Xiao Xi, have you noticed that Xiao Yue has been a bit absent-minded lately?"
"A little," Wen Xi said thoughtfully. "What's wrong with her?"
Shen Jiaojiao shook her head. "I don't know. She usually works in the fields without any problems, and I haven't seen her getting close to anyone. But one day she took a day off, left early in the morning, and didn't come back until very late. I don't know what happened."
Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "As long as Xiao Yue doesn't betray us, we won't interfere in her private affairs. If she does betray us, then we'll find a way to extricate ourselves from the situation, understand?"
In this day and age, it's common for family members to betray each other. These three were just friends, and no one knew if they would have a falling out one day and be betrayed.
Shen Jiaojiao nodded. She and Wen Xi had known each other since childhood. She knew the importance of their friendship since they were young, and she trusted Wen Xi unconditionally.
The next morning, Wenxi served breakfast. After eating, she set off with Jiang Yue's reply. Since she had arranged to meet He Chen'an at noon, Wenxi wasn't in a hurry and chose to walk to the town. She would first go to the town's post office to mail Jiang Yue's letter, and then take the bus to the county seat.
Wenxi arrived in the county town quite early. He Chen'an had to work today and wouldn't come over until lunchtime. With so much time to spare, Wenxi didn't want to stay in the park alone, so she went shopping instead.
She still had some tickets, and it would be a waste not to leave them there. She bought some things and stored them in the warehouse. So Wenxi went to the department store because there were more good things there.
Wenxi doesn't have anything she wants to buy right now; she just wants to spend the tickets she has. So she buys whatever tickets she gets without any particular purpose.
After shopping for a while, she had a lot of things in her hands. It felt so good to have money and be able to buy whatever she wanted. She had never touched money in her previous life, which was really miserable.
After leaving the department store, Wen Xi found a small grove of trees, put her things away in the warehouse, and when it was almost time, she went to the state-run restaurant to pack up her food. Afterward, she rushed to the park where they had agreed to meet He Chen'an.
Upon arriving at the park, they saw He Chen'an sitting in the pavilion where they used to date. As soon as He Chen'an saw Wen Xi approaching, he hurriedly got up to greet her.
