Wen Xi was quite surprised to see the letter from Jin Changqing. She had gone home shortly after Jin Changqing returned, so the two of them weren't actually very familiar with each other.
However, Wenxi still checked Jin Changqing's letter first. Jin Changqing greeted her first, and then asked her to help send another letter inside the envelope to Jin Changfeng.
It was a small matter, and Wen Xi naturally wouldn't refuse. She could simply put the letter into the package she was sending to Jin Changfeng.
Only then did she begin to check Pei Jingzhou's letter, which was just to let him know he had arrived at his workplace and that she could write to him now. Finally, she checked Jin Changfeng's package, which contained local specialties that he had exchanged for.
Afterwards, Wen Xi flashed into the system warehouse and began packing things for Pei Jingzhou and Jin Changfeng. Since neither of them was able to cook, she could only pack some things that they could eat directly.
Looking at the food she had ordered with her phone in the system's inventory—breakfast noodles, fried chicken, sushi rolls, grilled skewers, and all sorts of other delicious food—Wenxi felt it was such a waste that she couldn't give them any.
We can only talk about it when we have a chance to meet again. She ordered quite a lot, and we can't finish it in a short time.
Wenxi packed the same things for her two older brothers: twenty preserved eggs and twenty salted duck eggs each, two bottles of beef and mushroom sauce for each of them, five catties of beef jerky and pork jerky for each of them, five catties of kiwi slices and candied winter melon for each of them, ten catties of cooked sweet potato chips for each of them, one bag of milk powder for each of them, and five catties of roasted peanuts for each of them.
She has everything, so this little thing is nothing to her!
During the Spring Festival, she brought things home almost every day. Even when she wasn't going home herself, she would ask Jiang Yue to deliver things for her, so her family didn't lack anything for the time being.
Wenxi decided to wait until the lean season before sending the items to Pei Jingzhou, and then have Pei Jingzhou send them home for her. If she sent them herself, they would probably be intercepted by Wenrou, and then Wenrou would benefit from them.
Wenrou still doesn't know that Wenxi has gone home. She probably still thinks that Wenxi is pitifully doing farm work alone in the countryside!
The next morning, Wenxi set off with a heavy basket on her back. She no longer needed to trade with the black market or queue up early to buy meat, so she didn't have to leave as early as before.
Upon arriving at the village entrance, Wenxi saw the oxcart parked there, so she went over, paid, and got on. She placed her basket on her lap and held it with both hands so that she wouldn't have to worry about anyone peeking at her basket from behind.
She only put a little bit of stuff in her basket as a formality; the rest was stored in the system's warehouse. Carrying such heavy things to town would exhaust her.
Previously, He Chen'an had a late-night snack at Wenxi's place. Later, Wenxi decided to give He Chen'an a chance to perform, which made He Chen'an very happy. He ate more than before, and his originally thin cheeks gradually gained flesh, and his appearance improved a lot.
Everyone then realized that Dr. He was actually quite handsome, so all the women in the village went to see He Chen'an. However, before He Chen'an went to the countryside, Captain Qian had already told everyone that it was normal for doctors to touch patients during examinations. Anyone who made a fuss about this and held the doctor responsible, or did something shameful, would be fired and not allowed to stay in the Fengshou Brigade.
Wenxi could understand their thoughts; they all wanted to achieve upward social mobility by marrying a good man. However, what they didn't know was that even if someone with a rural household registration married into the city, they would still have a rural household registration, and their children would also follow their mother's household registration, which would also be rural.
If a family of several people doesn't have enough food, they'll have trouble eating. This is why city people rarely marry people from the countryside, unless they have a bad reputation and can't find a wife in the city, in which case they'll ask a matchmaker to introduce them to someone from the countryside.
As soon as He Chen'an walked over, the women sitting on the oxcart all stared at him with gleaming eyes.
He Chen'an sat down next to Wen Xi and greeted her politely, "Hello, Wen Xiqing."
Wen Xi smiled faintly, "Hello, Dr. He."
They are not in a romantic relationship now, so there is no need for everyone to know about their relationship.
Wen Xi and He Chen'an remained silent throughout the journey. There were other people on the oxcart who overheard their conversation, and the news would soon spread far and wide.
Wenxi dislikes becoming the subject of gossip for others.
Upon arrival, everyone dismounted from the oxcart and headed towards their respective destinations. Wenxi, carrying a basket on her back, walked towards the post office. He Chen'an went to clean the new house first, asking Wenxi to come over later to see how the new house should be decorated.
Wen Xi was also curious about why the house she paid for was owned by someone else, so she accepted He Chen'an's invitation to visit the new house later.
Upon arriving at the post office, Wenxi mailed both packages and bought some envelopes and stamps, as she needed these items in large quantities.
After finishing everything, Wen Xi headed towards the new house He Chen'an had bought. Before she even reached the door, she saw He Chen'an emerge from the same door that the woman had come out of that night. This meant that the woman had indeed entered the house that she and He Chen'an had jointly funded.
What exactly is the situation with this woman? Does He Chen'an know anything about her?
Or is there some other hidden story behind this?
"Xiaoxi, you're here." He Chen'an was overjoyed to see Wenxi and hurriedly pulled her inside. "Xiaoxi, come and see how our new home is."
Wen Xi glanced at He Chen'an and said, "Who knows whose new home this will become in the future?"
He Chen'an said with a smile, "This is of course our new home, and it will definitely be our new home."
He Chen'an wasn't guilty at all. Could it be that he really had nothing to do with that woman?
He Chen'an led Wen Xi around the house. The house wasn't big, but it was enough for a small family. If they were to bring their parents in as well, it would feel a bit crowded.
"Xiaoxi, how do you want to renovate this house?" He Chen'an asked.
“I don’t like white on top and green on the bottom. Let’s paint all the walls white first, and then put a layer of cement on the floor to avoid unevenness. Let’s finish all that first, and then arrange the furniture! Otherwise, it’ll be too much trouble to move the furniture around.” Wen Xi looked at He Chen’an. “What do you think about the furniture? Do you want to buy it from a furniture factory, or should I go to the village and find a carpenter to make it for us?”
He Chen'an looked at Wen Xi seriously, "Xiao Xi, we'll make the furniture whatever you want. Whatever kind of furniture you want, we'll make it."
“Okay, I’ll have a carpenter make the simple furniture, and we’ll buy the more complicated pieces from a furniture factory.” Wen Xi nodded.
