"Wen, don't worry, I will definitely help you pull out all the weeds."
"Thank you so much, comrade. Could you please help me pull all the weeds out of this plot of land?" Wen Xi took off her gloves and smiled brightly at Qian Liang. Then she waved to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, "Shen, Jiang, a kind comrade offered to help us pull the weeds. Let's go! Let's tell Captain Qian so he doesn't misunderstand us."
"Really?" Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue both ran over.
“Of course it’s true, this kind comrade promised himself.” Wen Xi winked at Chen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, and then the three of them shouted loudly to Qian Liang at the same time, “Thank you comrade for helping us pull weeds.”
Afterwards, the three of them went to the field and found Captain Qian. Wenxi told Captain Qian about it, "Captain Qian, a kind man helped us pull weeds. Can we go back now?"
"Since someone is helping you pull the weeds, you can go back now! There's not much to do right now, and we don't need many people." Captain Qian waved his hand.
Captain Qian followed them into the rapeseed field and, sure enough, saw Qian Liang sitting directly on the ground.
"Qian Liang, since you've been so diligent and kind in helping the women pull weeds today, then you should pull all the weeds out of this plot. You're not allowed to go home until you've finished," Captain Qian said.
"Captain Qian, please have the scorekeeper register the work points under this comrade's name so his parents don't misunderstand and come making a scene demanding we return the work points to their family," Wen Xi said smugly. They didn't care about a few work points; they'd give them all to Qian Liang!
Now that Qian Liang is in such a predicament, he has no choice but to pull weeds here, and in the end, the work points will be credited to him. If he claims that he came to help Wen Xi with the work, there is no evidence to prove it.
The mission had gone wrong, and Qian Liang was very unhappy. Even his gaze towards Wen Xi was filled with malice, and he made a harsh statement in his heart.
-You little bitch, just wait until you step into my door, and I'll see how I deal with you.
After that, Wenxi and the other two finished work and went home.
As soon as Wen Xi got home, she went straight to the kitchen, took out forty-five dumplings from the system's warehouse, and put them in the cupboard, letting Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue think they were leftovers from the dumplings she made that morning.
"Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, I'm planning to go up the mountain for a while. There are dumplings in the cupboard. If you're hungry, you can boil dumplings and steam eggs. Just save fifteen dumplings for me." Wenxi said, then picked up her basket and set off. She was going up the mountain to collect fish, so naturally she couldn't take Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue with her.
No matter how good their relationship was, she wouldn't reveal the sign-in system to anyone. If even her own sisters weren't reliable, how could she trust just friends?
Faced with the prospect of profit, Wen Xi decided to be cautious to avoid losing her life again. After all, it's not easy to have a second chance, and Wen Xi didn't want to die young again. She wanted to live her life to the fullest.
They came back shortly after starting work, which means it's still very early. At this time of year, it's still early, and no one is out playing on the mountain.
After Wenxi went up the mountain, he went straight to the waterfall, collected the fish from the net, dug up some wild vegetables, picked some mushrooms, took out a pheasant that he had signed in, tied it up, and put it at the bottom of his basket.
Although it's unlikely that anyone will go up the mountain, there are so many children in the village. If people find out that she has pheasants, it's hard to guarantee that the children won't spread the word.
Wenxi carried the heavy basket on her back and walked back happily. When she got close to the middle of the mountain, she could faintly hear voices ahead. Thinking that it might be some old ladies with children digging for wild vegetables and gathering firewood, Wenxi stopped. She knew that the fighting power of the unreasonable old people was very strong.
After waiting for a while and feeling that there was no sound, Wenxi continued to walk back. When she reached the outer edge of the mountain, she saw Jin Changfeng standing there with his back against a big tree.
The moment he saw Wen Xi, his eyes lit up with obvious surprise, but there were dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well or hadn't slept all night.
Just as Wen Xi was about to speak, Jin Changfeng suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, looking at her with utmost seriousness. "Xiao Xi, I haven't slept a wink since I got back yesterday. I've thought it through very clearly. I like you, I really like you. I know I'm much older than you, and I know you're not old enough to be looking for a partner yet, so I won't bother you or pester you. I just want to tell you, from now on, just treat me like your older brother, okay?"
His pursuit of her now will definitely cause her trouble.
So he'll wait until she's ready to date before telling her. He'll focus on his work for the next few years, strive for promotions and raises, and become stronger so he can better protect her.
Wen Xi nodded without hesitation after hearing Jin Changfeng's words. She couldn't agree to them being in a romantic relationship, but she could agree to them being like siblings. Because his work was very dangerous, he could only work with peace of mind and stop worrying about this matter if she agreed.
They protect their country, and she wants to protect these lovely people so that he can work with peace of mind and without worries. She doesn't mind taking him as her brother, and she believes that her second brother at home won't be jealous.
Upon hearing Wen Xi's words, Jin Changfeng couldn't help but grin. "Then call me 'brother' and let me hear it."
Wen Xi pursed her lips speechlessly, but still obediently called out, "Brother Jin."
"Oh, what a good girl!" Jin Changfeng laughed happily and took the basket from Wen Xi's hands.
Wen Xi gave him a deep look. Hadn't she always called him "Brother Jin"? Was there anything different about calling him "Brother Jin" today?
After that, they went down the mountain together. Jin Changfeng delivered the basket to the entrance of the alley, and then turned around and left from the foot of the mountain.
Wenxi carried the basket into the gate, locked it, and walked inside, calling out, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao..."
Upon hearing Wen Xi's voice, Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly came out of her room, overjoyed. "Xiao Xi, you're back! What good things did you bring back today?"
"I caught a pheasant and hid it in the basket. You can process the pheasant and clean the mushrooms. We'll have mushroom and chicken soup tonight. I'm hungry, I'll go to the kitchen to cook dumplings." Wenxi handed the basket to Shen Jiaojiao and went straight to the kitchen to boil water and cook the remaining dumplings.
Shen Jiaojiao took the basket to the well and took out all the mushrooms and wild vegetables inside. She was overjoyed to see the plump pheasant hidden at the bottom.
Life in the countryside is so much better than her life at home before!
