Chapter 498 I've come to take care of you



The villagers of Fengshou Brigade were still in shock and couldn't recover. Decades ago, those despicable people buried so much treasure in their village, and then decades later, they sent their underlings disguised as educated youth to the village to try to take the treasure away.

These lackeys almost stole the treasure.

Back then, some people actually thought Wenxi was being unreasonable by not letting Chang Hua move in, and that they were not united or friendly at all as fellow educated youth. Now they realize how wise Wenxi was in refusing to let Chang Hua move in.

If Chang Hua were to actually move in, all three of them would probably die for various bizarre reasons, and then the entire Harvest Brigade would be in for a rough time.

It can be said that Wenxi unintentionally saved the entire Fengshou Brigade.

In the afternoon, when Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were not at home, Wen Xi slipped into the system kitchen and started making herself a nutritious meal. She had been stabbed twice, lost so much blood, and suffered so much pain, so she definitely needed to replenish herself properly, otherwise she might die young. She wanted to live for several more decades!

Before, Wenxi lived in Qin Mi's house in the 21st century. Under Qin Mi's leadership, he stockpiled a lot of free-range chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, and pigeons.

Now these things can demonstrate their value.

However, she can't go out now, so she can't take them out for Shen Jiaojiao to handle. Because she can't explain the origin of these things, she can only make them herself in the system kitchen and enjoy them quietly.

However, these free-range chickens and ducks were all alive and unprocessed. Fortunately, the owner had delivered them to her in crates, so they were easy to process.

Wenxi didn't want to work hard cooking every day, so she simply caught five free-range hens, slaughtered and cleaned them, and made chicken soup. She put red dates and goji berries in one hen, mushrooms in another, potatoes in another, chestnuts in another, and the last one was simply stewed.

Five pots of old hen soup should be enough for her to drink for a month. In between, there's also old duck soup, old goose soup, and pigeon soup. If she keeps taking care of herself like this for a month, her body should be almost fully recovered!

Wenxi originally thought she would be too tired to handle after a while, but she didn't expect that after working in the system kitchen for half a day, her wounds didn't hurt at all.

This check-in system is really great; it saves her a lot of suffering.

Wenxi was busy in the system kitchen for a long time, but not much time had passed outside. Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had not returned yet. Wenxi made herself a cup of milk and then sat on a chair under the eaves, drinking milk and basking in the sun.

However, she was facing away from the sun, as she was currently in a weak state and it wouldn't be good for her skin to get sunburned.

"Xiaoxi, why did you come out?" As soon as Shen Jiaojiao entered the door, she saw Wenxi sitting under the eaves and was very worried.

"I came out to get some sun and get some calcium. If I stay in the room for too long, I won't even be able to walk properly," Wen Xi said with a smile. "I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself, so you don't need to worry about me."

"If you feel unwell at all, you must tell us, okay?" Shen Jiaojiao instructed.

Wen Xi nodded, "Don't worry!"

"Then enjoy your sunbathing. Go back to your room after a while. I'm going to make dinner," Shen Jiaojiao instructed before heading to the kitchen. She had now accepted the task of cooking, and the kitchen had become her domain.

The vegetables planted this season haven't been harvested yet, and the cabbages have all flowered and grown old, so there's not much to eat. However, Qin Mi brought back fresh vegetables today after sending Wen Xi back, so Shen Jiaojiao doesn't need to worry about vegetables.

Wenxi had just been discharged from the hospital and couldn't eat anything too oily or salty, so Shen Jiaojiao made only light dishes: cucumber stir-fried with eggs, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, loofah and minced meat soup, and stir-fried mung bean sprouts.

She didn't dare make braised pork, but instead chopped the meat into minced meat and cooked a light loofah and minced meat soup. Although it looked bland and didn't have many seasonings, the ingredients in this era were good, and it had a unique and original flavor.

Wenxi thought Qin Mi had gone back to work and wouldn't come over again, but unexpectedly he came over again in the evening, bringing seven old hens. He asked Shen Jiaojiao to kill one a week to make soup for Wenxi.

Drinking old hen soup every day would get boring. Kill one hen a week, and eat other things for a few days in between to change things up and prevent it from getting cloying.

Wen Xi hadn't expected Qin Mi to be so outrageous. His actions had caused her to kill those chickens for nothing. Surely she wouldn't go inside to have extra food in the middle of the night?

If she keeps eating like this, she'll get as fat as a ball sooner or later.

To Wen Xi's surprise, Qin Mi actually brought down a cot and carried it into Wen Xi's room, placing it next to her bed.

"Brother Qin, what are you doing?" Wen Xi asked, puzzled.

Although she already had a vague guess in her mind, she still wanted to hear Qin Mi's answer.

After Qin Mi arranged the cot and made the bed, he sat down on it and said, "If I took you back to take care of you, you definitely wouldn't be used to it or want to, so I came here to take care of you."

"Brother Qin, there's really no need for this. I can walk and eat now, I just need to rest a bit more. You really don't need to be so worried." Wen Xi hurriedly waved her hand. If Qin Mi really stayed in her room, how would she cheat in the future? "Besides, you travel back and forth between the county town and the harvest brigade every day. Even if you drive fast, you'll still be on the road for several hours a day. It's really too tiring, and driving when you're so tired is really dangerous."

Qin Mi reached out and pulled Wen Xi into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder and burying his head in her neck. "Xi, all of this was of my own free will."

"Brother Qin..." A tingling sensation spread from her neck, and Wen Xi shrank back.

"Xi, I love you. You have to give me a chance to pursue you, you know? If you don't give me a chance to pursue you, how will you know how good I am?" Qin Mi closed his eyes, his nose filled with the sweet fragrance of his lover, making him infatuated.

Since Wenxi found out his feelings, he no longer hid them. Nothing could escape his eyes. He knew about Wenxi and He Chen'an's relationship. He respected Wenxi and never thought of taking her away because he only wanted to make her happy. But now that the two had broken up, how could he not seize such a good opportunity?

With such a great opportunity, how could he not make the most of it?

The two of them just sat there without saying anything, but the atmosphere was very pleasant, and neither of them felt bored. When sleepiness came over them, Wenxi yawned and said, "Brother Qin, I'm going to sleep."
