Even now, the thought of their vicious faces fills her with hatred. She'll let them gloat for a few more months, and then she'll teach them a lesson when she goes back home for the New Year.
She's going to take everything back.
The two sat quietly in the car for a while before Wen Xi started the car again and drove away. Qin Mi said from the side, "Xi, with your skills now, you should be able to take the exam. I'll go and say hello to them first, and come back to practice when you have time before the exam."
"Okay, thank you very much, Brother Qin," Wen Xi said gratefully.
Wen Xi drove the car to the entrance of Fengshou Brigade Village, got out of the car, waved to Qin Mi, and said, "Brother Qin, thank you. I found today very interesting and learned a lot of things I didn't know before. Brother Qin, drive slowly and be careful."
After Wen Xi left, Qin Mi found a place to turn the car around and drove away.
Arriving at the courtyard gate, Wen Xi reached out and knocked. Shen Jiaojiao, who was closest to the gate, heard the knock and came out to open it, wearing a coat. "Xiao Xi, you're back!"
"There's still hot water in the pot," Shen Jiaojiao reminded her, then yawned and went back to her room.
There are only three girls in their family. When Wenxi is not home, it's just her and Jiang Yue. So they can't leave the door open for Wenxi. If someone sneaks in before Wenxi comes home, they're doomed. So they have to lock the door. Besides, Wenxi doesn't come home late very often, so Shen Jiaojiao isn't unhappy about it.
After all, she had taken advantage of Wenxi by living with her. If she hadn't come to the countryside with Wenxi, she might have gone to other places and lived a miserable life!
If she lives a good life with Wenxi, then she naturally has to give back in return.
Wenxi fetched hot water to wash up, then went back to her room, locked the door, and slipped into the system warehouse. Realizing she hadn't checked in for a while, she decided to save her check-in opportunities for the mission world, since she could check in for the items needed there.
However, Wenxi still checked in once, because she hadn't checked in for a long time and wanted to experience the joy of opening blind boxes!
Unexpectedly, she signed in for another fishpond. She used the first fishpond to raise giant shrimp. Later, she signed in for five fishponds in the mission world. She transferred the water from the fishponds to help the villages that were severely affected by the disaster. When she was about to return, she also poured the water from the fishponds into the river to help the villages in the middle and lower reaches of the river. So all the water in these five fishponds was used up.
Unexpectedly, they've signed another fishpond deal.
So Wenxi quickly picked out the large bluefish from the system warehouse and put them all into the fishpond to raise. The fishpond was supported by energy and could be fed and cleaned automatically, so she didn't need to worry about it too much.
Although many fish can be kept together, Wenxi doesn't want to. She only wants to keep one type of fish in each pond, since the pond is automatically fed by energy and doesn't need multiple types of fish to help each other.
After working in the system kitchen for a while, Wenxi came out to rest.
After the autumn harvest, there wasn't much work left in the fields. It mainly involved weeding and fertilizing the wheat and rapeseed fields, clearing ditches, and reclaiming wasteland. It was voluntary and not mandatory, so some people started working sporadically.
There's no other way; there's not much work and the work points aren't high, so everyone has to do it this way. The diligent ones get more land and earn more work points, while the others do as they please.
Wenxi has run out of pig feed and has plenty of firewood at home, so there's not much to do. But he can't just stay home and do nothing all the time; if the villagers saw that, they'd be incredibly jealous!
However, before Wenxi could figure out what to do, the village solved this problem for her.
Because Ge Chenglan is getting married, she invited Wenxi and the other two to help prepare the banquet. Preparing the banquet requires ingredients, and Ge Chenglan, being a village woman, doesn't have much money or ration coupons, so it's not easy for her to hold a banquet. Therefore, Wenxi, Shen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue also have to help prepare the ingredients, which are free.
However, this way they wouldn't have to work, which they were naturally willing to accept.
So Wenxi, Shen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue went to the main canteen first, took the large bamboo baskets they had used to catch fish, and went to the river bend to catch fish and small snails, thus solving the problem of two dishes.
Ge Chenglan then took the two children to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables, which solved two more dishes. There were also vegetables they grew in the yard, as well as pumpkins, winter melons, and sweet potatoes at home. With some meat and vegetables, a sumptuous feast was ready.
Marriage is a matter between two people. It's not fair that the man can get a wife, two children, and a house for free without contributing anything. That would be too good for him!
Wen Xi didn't expect Ge Chenglan to get married so quickly. She remembered that Ge Chenglan didn't have a boyfriend before the autumn harvest, and now that the harvest was over, she was getting married.
However, the other party was from the next battalion, a veteran who had been seriously injured in the leg and could no longer train or fight. He returned with his discharge pay and did not accept the job arranged by the state because he did not want to cause trouble for the country.
Since they are soldiers trained by the country, there shouldn't be any major problems. It's normal for there to be some minor issues, after all, everyone is just an ordinary person and no one is perfect.
Moreover, this person lived in the next production team, so it was easy to find out about him by asking around. Ge Chenglan was willing to live with him, so she must have inquired about him beforehand.
Ge Chenglan borrowed the village's large canteen to hold the banquet. It had a stove, tables, and benches, so she didn't have to go through any more trouble. If she had held the banquet at home, she would have had to find someone to borrow these things, and her home kitchen was really not big enough to host a banquet.
Soon it was the day before Ge Chenglan's wedding. That afternoon, her fiancé delivered several portions of pig offal and ten catties of meat.
The pig offal had already been washed, but there weren't any good cleaning methods back then, so the washed pig offal still had a very strong smell.
Ge Chenglan was a married woman and didn't have many relatives or friends in the village. There was no need to use so much meat; it would be too wasteful. So Wenxi cut seven catties of meat for her to marinate and air-dry so she could eat it slowly later.
As for the offal, only the parts unsuitable for pickling were kept for banquets, while the rest that could be pickled and dried were taken back to Ge Chenglan for pickling.
After all, during the busy farming season, we ate in the canteen and only had one serving of pig offal per meal. There were only a few tables of guests at Ge Chenglan's wedding, so there was no need to use so much pig offal.
In fact, Ge Chenglan didn't want to hold any banquet; she didn't want anyone to take advantage of her.
However, her blind date was for the first time, and he even said that he wanted to have a grand and spectacular wedding, to make the previous couples furious.
