Wen Xi was speechless. "Second brother, it's such a small thing, why can't you say it? Just tell me directly, I'll take you to change it. But when are you going to your colleague's house?"
"Let's go tomorrow. I'm worried they might have food in the things they asked me to bring. If the food spoils, I'll feel terrible," Pei Jingzhou said.
“Okay, let’s go together tomorrow. I know this area quite well, so with me leading the way, you won’t be wandering around like a headless fly,” Wen Xi said with a smile.
I can take Qin Mi's car there tomorrow morning, so they don't need to bother me.
Afterwards, Wenxi took Pei Jingzhou to the homes of acquaintances to exchange dried mushrooms, dried vegetables, and eggs. They brought enough things to visit their colleagues.
Considering that they would be having a family dinner at home in a few days, Wenxi took Pei Jingzhou to the cafeteria in the afternoon to get a fish basket, and then they went to the river bend to catch snails and fish.
Moreover, the wheat harvest is about to begin, and the large canteen will be operational soon, which will require a significant amount of food. We can reserve some for the large canteen.
It's already June, which is the season for crayfish. Crayfish and eels are easy to catch at night. Wenxi was hospitalized before, so she missed this year's bamboo shoots, but she can't miss the crayfish and eels. So she told Shen Jiaojiao and the other three that if they wanted to make money, they could go out and catch them at night.
However, the group must stay together and never be alone, otherwise they might be captured and taken back as wives. Wang Xinru was captured by Liu Darong and taken to the forest. If Wen Xi hadn't arrived in time, she would have either died or married Liu Darong.
Qin Mi returned in the evening, and Wen Xi brought him a late-night snack. "Brother Qin, my second brother and I are going to the city tomorrow morning. Please call us when you leave."
Qin Mi's appearance is outstanding, and his overall demeanor is truly unmatched. In addition, his job is incredibly impressive. With his abilities, his position will undoubtedly rise higher and higher, and his salary will increase accordingly. When he gets old, his retirement life will be very comfortable.
Most men are chauvinistic and believe that women shouldn't work, should stay at home to support their husbands and raise children, and shouldn't have their own social circles.
However, Qin Mi was very considerate and patient with her when they were out together, unlike other people who were always impatient when they accompanied girls shopping.
Many people are unwilling to make any sacrifices, fearing they might lose even a penny. If they spend money on a girl, they will try every means to get it back. But Qin Mi is different. He is willing to spend money on her and time on her. In this day and age, he is a rare find.
But she's only eighteen this year and doesn't plan to consider these things yet. If they really are destined to continue their relationship, they'll wait until the college entrance exam is reinstated, because she definitely wants to go home and work hard in her own territory.
She wants to develop her career well, save money to buy more courtyard houses and houses. Although she doesn't have Lin Yiwan's great abilities and can't make it onto the rich list, she still wants to earn more money to support herself so that she will have the courage to face whatever happens.
After Qin Mi finished her late-night snack, the two returned to their respective rooms.
The next morning, the temperature was a bit low and it was particularly cool. When Qin Mi saw Wen Xi coming out wearing a dress, he told her to take a light jacket and take it off when it got warmer at noon.
After everything was ready, Wen Xi and Pei Jingzhou got into Qin Mi's car, with Pei Jingzhou in the passenger seat and Wen Xi and Qin Mi in the back.
"Second Brother, where are you getting off?" Qin Mi asked, looking ahead.
Hearing Qin Mi call him "Second Brother," Pei Jingzhou's lips twitched involuntarily. He had no idea how this old man could be so shameless as to say it.
He dared to shout, but he didn't dare to respond.
"Let's go to the town!" Pei Jingzhou said helplessly.
Upon arriving in the town, everyone headed to the bus stop near the county seat. Wen Xi and Pei Jingzhou got off the bus. Seeing that Pei Jingzhou was carrying so many things, Wen Xi reached out and said, "Second Brother, give me half of these things."
"No need, I can carry it. Let's go!" Pei Jingzhou refused Wen Xi's help and carried the things forward. Wen Xi quickly followed.
The air was cool at first, but it started to get warm after a few steps, so Wenxi took off her light jacket and draped it over her arm.
Looking at the increasingly familiar place, Wen Xi was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that Pei Jingzhou's colleague's house was near Yan Zheng's house. It wasn't until Pei Jingzhou started knocking on the door that Wen Xi realized that Pei Jingzhou's colleague was indeed Yan Zheng's family.
Wenxi thought that Yan Lili's parents worked in another city and didn't have time to come back or take care of Yan Lili, so she left Yan Lili at home to be taken care of by her grandparents.
It now appears that Pei Jingzhou's colleague is Yan Zheng's family member.
Hearing the knock, Yan's mother opened the door and was overjoyed to see Wenxi. "Xiaoxi, what brings you here? Are you alright?"
"Aunt Yan, I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, and thank you for visiting me earlier," Wen Xi said with a smile.
“You saved our Lili and then you saved our Yanzheng. You’re family to us. Isn’t it only right that we go and see you?” Mother Yan said with a smile. “Come in quickly.”
Then she noticed Pei Jingzhou beside her, "Xiaoxi, this is..."
Could this be Wenxi's boyfriend?
The one who took advantage of Yan Zheng's injury and unconsciousness in the hospital to steal Wen Xi's possessions.
"Aunt Yan, this is my second brother. He came here especially to see me," Wen Xi introduced.
Pei Jingzhou hadn't expected that Wen Xi would know his colleague's family and have helped them so much. His sister was truly amazing. "Auntie, is this Yan Qiang's house?"
Aunt Yan nodded. "Yes, this is Yan Qiang's house. May I ask what business you have with Yan Qiang?"
“Auntie, hello, I’m Yan Qiang’s colleague. Yan Qiang knew I was coming to Kaiming County to visit my sister, so he asked me to bring some things over,” Pei Jingzhou explained.
"Second Brother Xiaoxi, thank you so much! Please come in quickly," Aunt Yan said hurriedly.
Upon arriving home, Mother Yan made tea for both of them. Pei Jingzhou handed his luggage to Mother Yan, saying, "Auntie, these are the things that Brother Qiang asked me to help carry. The other package contains things I exchanged for your family in the village. My sister lives alone in the countryside, and it's not easy for her. I'll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future."
Mother Yan said with a smile, "Second Brother Xiaoxi, you are too kind. Xiaoxi has helped our family several times, and we have long regarded her as family. You don't need to tell us, we will take care of her."
