"Thank you, Uncle." Since Captain Qian was willing to build a closer relationship, Wen Xi naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, she was on his turf and had to listen to him. Moreover, building a good relationship would also benefit her.
After speaking with Captain Qian, Wen Xi returned to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue's side and whispered, "Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, I just spoke with Captain Qian. The three of us will stay in an empty house in the village. We won't squeeze in with other people. If there are too many people, it's easy for conflicts to arise, and if something is stolen, we won't even know who took it."
Most importantly, in her previous life, Jiang Yue was framed by the person she shared a room with; otherwise, how could that scoundrel have succeeded?
Jiang Yue was a little embarrassed. "Xiao Xi, my family signed me up to go to the countryside, and they only gave me thirty yuan and some old things. If I stay with you, you'll suffer."
Wen Xi patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Those with money contribute money, and those with strength contribute strength. Since you don't have much money, Jiao Jiao and I will contribute more money, and you can contribute more strength, how about that?"
Shen Jiaojiao secretly signed up and received a resettlement fee of one hundred yuan, which she did not hand over to her grandmother.
Wenxi also took all the pocket money and New Year's money she had saved up over the years, as well as the money her second brother had secretly given her in the past, with her to the countryside. She had quite a bit of money.
So it's okay if Jiang Yue doesn't have money, as long as she does more work. She doesn't have to spend any money or effort, so that's the real bargain!
Jiang Yue looked at Shen Jiaojiao, "Is it okay?"
Shen Jiaojiao readily agreed, “Of course we can. The three of us are practically from the same hometown, so we should stick together so we won’t be bullied.”
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Song Lan returned with her package. Captain Qian said, "The three female educated youths will ride in an oxcart, while the male comrades will walk."
After Wenxi, Shen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue boarded the oxcart, Captain Qian set off.
Jin Changfeng was tall and had long legs, so he always walked in front of Wen Xi. Whenever Wen Xi looked up, she could see his profile. This man's facial features were really outstanding. His face was chiseled, his nose was high and straight, and there wasn't an ounce of extra flesh. He was quite pleasing to the eye. However, he always had a cold face, as if everyone owed him money.
It wasn't that Wenxi wanted to see him, but he was right in front of her, and she could see him as soon as she looked up.
The Fengshou Brigade is not particularly far from the commune. It takes about an hour and a half to walk there, but if you have a bicycle, it only takes thirty or forty minutes.
However, bicycles were a big-ticket item in those days. As educated youths who had left their hometowns and were isolated and helpless, it was best not to spend so extravagantly on such a big item, otherwise they would be schemed against and left with nothing but bones.
In her past life, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were schemed against and left with nothing but bones. Although she returned to the city, she was tricked back by her elder sister and brother-in-law. After more than ten years of suffocating life, she finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but they didn't give her a chance to live at all.
Wenxi had walked this road from the town to the Fengshou Brigade many times in her previous life. She could walk back with her eyes closed, and she knew everything about the road ahead clearly.
Although this place can't compare to the vast and abundant resources of Northeast China, and it's not as exaggerated as the area where you can catch roe deer with a stick, scoop up fish with a ladle, or have pheasants fly right into your cooking pot, you can still scoop up fish with a ladle here. That's because wherever there's water, there are fish. There aren't many other things, but there are plenty of wild fish, so you're guaranteed to have enough.
She had learned many ways to cook fish in her previous life, so she no longer had to miss out on fish like she did in her previous life. In her previous life, due to the lack of oil and salt, no one would catch fish that darted past her feet while she was planting rice.
In her past life, Wenxi's letters to her second brother and parents all disappeared without a trace, and she didn't receive a single reply. Now that she thinks about it, she must have been intercepted by her eldest sister. In this life, she will be smarter and will never let her eldest sister intercept her again. In addition, she will expose what her eldest sister has done and let everyone know that this is how she acts as an older sister.
Moreover, two years later, her older sister will definitely write to her again to trick her into going back, and then give her to the old man. This time, she will definitely not let her older sister's scheme succeed again.
If the brother-in-law wants a promotion and a raise, he can give his own wife away.
Jin Changfeng glanced at Wen Xi every now and then, only to see her staring into the distance, her face shifting with various expressions, as if she was thinking about something.
Bumping along in the oxcart, Wenxi quickly became drowsy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a sweet yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out, "Brother Changfeng, is it really you? I've finally seen you! I've missed you so much!"
Wen Xi opened her eyes and looked over in confusion. She saw a girl with two braids and dressed in a simple and honest manner standing in front of Jin Changfeng, looking at him with a shy expression.
A hint of gossip flashed in Wenxi's eyes. She had only just arrived in the countryside and hadn't even reached the production team yet, and she was already getting her hands on gossip about love and hate?
Jin Changfeng, fearing that Wen Xi might misunderstand, quickly glanced at her and then took two steps back. "Mo Qiaolin, I'm not your brother. Please address me as Comrade Jin from now on."
“Brother Changfeng, we grew up together since we were little, we can be considered childhood sweethearts. I’ve been to your house many times, we’re so familiar with each other, what’s wrong with me calling you Brother Changfeng? You never said anything before, why are you suddenly fussing about this now?” Mo Qiaolin said, glancing at the oxcart.
On the oxcart sat three girls who were much prettier than her, and the cart was full of luggage. Wen Xi, in particular, had red lips and white teeth, and her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting. She seemed to be more beautiful than the people in the painting.
A sense of crisis suddenly welled up in Mo Qiaolin's heart. Could they be the reason why Jin Changfeng suddenly wanted to keep his distance from her?
"Comrade Mo, please don't distort the facts or turn black into white, or don't blame me for handling this matter according to the rules and regulations." They were from the same village, and Mo Qiaolin was his sister's best friend. Jin Changfeng didn't want to be so ruthless, but if it affected his image in his wife's eyes and ruined his good marriage, then he wouldn't be polite.
Seeing Jin Changfeng's cold expression, Mo Qiaolin's awkward smile froze, and she no longer dared to joke around with him. She really didn't expect that Jin Changfeng could be so heartless to her.
It must be because of some little bastard on the oxcart!
Mo Qiaolin's eyes swept across Wen Xi, Shen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue's faces like cold arrows. Once she found out which little bitch had seduced Jin Changfeng, she would make them regret coming to the countryside and even more regret being born.
Mo Qiaolin snorted and got on the oxcart, squeezing his buttocks towards Wen Xi, almost pushing Wen Xi off the oxcart.
