After spending some time with Jin Changqing, Zhu Ying and Jin Changqing became close friends who could talk about anything. Every weekend, Jin Changqing would invite Zhu Ying to her home, cook her delicious food to help her get more nutrition, or the two of them would go to the supply and marketing cooperative or go to the nearby countryside to exchange agricultural products with villagers.
If Zhu Ying was still at work on the weekend, she would thoughtfully deliver the prepared meals to the hospital. Almost everyone knew that Zhu Ying was Jin Changqing's future sister-in-law.
This place is very remote, not as bustling as big cities. There are no department stores for them to shop in, and no movie theaters for them to watch movies.
Zhu Ying would ask her mother to send her any nice clothes or skincare products she wanted. If Jin Changqing needed them, she would transfer them to Jin Changqing at the original price.
As for giving gifts, she can afford it once or twice, but she can't afford it if it happens too often. After all, she is a girl who loves to shop. If she spends all her money on gifts for others, what will she do?
After the two became as close as sisters, Zhu Ying told Jin Changqing about Jin Changfeng's adoption of a younger sister, feeling that Jin Changqing, as his biological sister, had the right to know that he had an extra sister.
Jin Changqing hadn't expected that her older brother had secretly taken on another younger sister. On the surface, she said she respected all of her brother's decisions, but in her heart, she was determined to go back to her hometown when school let out for winter break to check on the situation and prevent her brother from being deceived.
She didn't understand why her older brother wanted to have a younger sister. Was it because he was upset that she didn't come home? But given the nature of his work, they rarely had a chance to see each other anyway!
The reason she was willing to marry her older brother's colleague was because she was easily bullied when she was alone in her hometown, and her older brother was too far away to help her in her immediate predicament.
On the day she was to go practice driving with Brother Qin, Wenxi set off early on her electric bicycle. When she arrived at the agreed-upon place, Wenxi handed the basket and breakfast to Brother Qin and then got into the driver's seat.
Wenxi didn't dare to look at Brother Qin, because seeing him reminded her of the younger version of Qin Mi. Although they hadn't done anything outrageous, it was still incredibly embarrassing.
She could hardly bear to look at Brother Qin.
Seeing a suspicious blush creeping up Wen Xi's fair cheeks at a visible speed, Qin Mi asked curiously, "Xi, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just ran all the way here, it was so hot." Wen Xi was afraid that Qin Mi wouldn't believe her, so she fanned herself with her hand. She couldn't very well tell Qin Mi that she had just been thinking about a man who looked just like Brother Qin, could she?
"Don't take off your clothes, or you'll catch a cold from the cold wind. You won't be hot in a little while," Qin Mi instructed.
Wen Xi nodded, "I understand, Brother Qin, you should eat quickly, or the dumplings will get cold."
She brought shrimp dumplings today, each one containing a plump shrimp, which is very satisfying to eat. These kinds of dumplings should be eaten while they're hot, otherwise they can easily become fishy, and some people can't stand the fishy smell.
Wen Xi understood why the system wanted to erase her memories of the mission world. People with weak willpower could really be affected by the memories of the mission world. Even she would occasionally think of Qin Mi there. She didn't know whether Qin Mi was real or just a passerby in a book like her.
After Qin Mi finished eating the shrimp dumplings, Wen Xi started the car and drove away. "Brother Qin, are you going to the countryside today to deal with a family dispute?"
"No need. I've already set up a small team, and they'll be going to the countryside to handle disputes in a while. I've asked them to keep records, and I'll review them. If there are any errors in the handling, I'll redo them," Qin Mi said.
Wen Xi nodded, "That's more like it. That way, we won't have to worry about some people taking sides."
Qin Mi said, "I'll take you to the Transportation Bureau for the exam next week when I have time off."
"So fast?" Wen Xi asked, somewhat surprised.
"Afraid?" Qin Mi looked at her curiously.
Wen Xi quickly shook her head, "No, I was just thinking that I got my driver's license so early, but I don't have a car to drive. If I don't get a car for another ten or twenty years, I'll probably have forgotten how to drive by then, right?"
Actually, she can buy a car after earning money in a few years, but that's still a few years away. If she doesn't touch a car for several years, will she still be able to drive then?
"Don't worry, with me here, you'll definitely be able to drive a few times a year. Or, when I need to go to other places, you can be my driver, how about that?" Qin Mi asked, and before Wen Xi could answer, he said to himself, "I think it's fine, let's do it this way! Next time I need to go out of town, I'll let you know in advance."
And so, without Wenxi's consent, the matter was settled. However, Wenxi did not object. Compared to staying in the brigade, Wenxi longed for the outside world, so she was naturally willing to go out if given the opportunity.
Because of her past and present lives combined, she really hasn't been to many places and hasn't had the chance to appreciate the beautiful landscapes and scenery of her motherland. When she achieves success in her career and can finally relax and do nothing, she will definitely travel all over the country so as not to leave herself with any regrets.
After practicing driving all day, Wenxi finally said goodbye to Qin Mi in the evening.
That afternoon, Wenxi was sunbathing in the yard while peeling and eating persimmons. In her hand was a big, bright red persimmon. The persimmon was very ripe and soft. The skin was thin and she peeled off a piece and then sucked on it. The cool persimmon was like juice, and it was very sweet.
Before she had finished eating the persimmon, there was a knock on the courtyard gate. Wenxi quickly threw the remaining half of the persimmon into the chicken feeder, washed her hands and mouth by the well, and then went to open the door.
"Yiwan, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Wenxi asked worriedly, looking at Lin Yiwan, who was panting outside the door.
"There's some juicy gossip out there, come with me!" Lin Yiwan grabbed Wen Xi's wrist and pulled her outside. Wen Xi almost stumbled. After they were outside, Wen Xi locked the courtyard gate and followed Lin Yiwan as they ran forward.
Wenxi was also very excited because things had been too peaceful lately; nothing had happened, and she hadn't gotten any good gossip.
Luckily, I lived away from home as soon as I arrived in the countryside in this life, otherwise I would have become the subject of everyone's gossip!
From afar, Wenxi could see that a crowd had gathered at the entrance of Lu Xiaoyun and Liang Zhaodi's courtyard. She didn't know why, but she was happy to be able to hear about the gossip of these two.
One is a scoundrel who schemed against Shen Jiaojiao in his past life and still wants to scheme against her in this life; the other is Wen Xi's enemy.
