"It's good if we can sell them all safely, no matter how much it costs, it's much better than letting them go to waste," Wen Xi said. "You all get some rest, I'll go cook."
Wenxi didn't ask how much money they had exchanged, as it wasn't really her concern, and she wouldn't take a single penny from them.
That evening, Wenxi cooked all the remaining dishes, making both mildly spicy and non-spicy versions of each to cater to everyone's tastes.
Wenxi left enough food for Qin Mi, and then brought the rest to the table. Everyone tidied up and sat around the table. Not only did they have a good meal today, but everyone else's meals were also very plentiful. Everyone could eat to their heart's content today.
Everyone gathered around the table and happily began their meal.
Wenxi decided to remind Captain Qian when she had time not to let everyone go into the water to catch fish on their own. After all, the middle of the river bend was too deep, and it was not worth risking their lives for a little money. They could buy fishing nets and let people who could swim go down to catch fish.
The water in the river bend is flowing. If a big fish is caught today, another big fish will swim by tomorrow. Some people will definitely be tempted, so we still need to remind everyone to be careful.
After Wang Xinru and Yao Hongbo finished their meal, they left. When Wen Xi saw them off, Wang Xinru took a cloth bag out of her basket, stuffed it into Wen Xi's arms, and then turned and ran away.
Wenxi looked at the cloth bag in her hand with suspicion, but instead of standing by the door to check it, she took the bag back to her room to check it. Unexpectedly, there were two bunches of grapes inside.
Wang Xinru actually sent her grapes. Is this her way of thanking her?
Wen Xi smiled faintly, took out the grapes, washed them, and placed them on the table in the main room. The weather was too hot now, and the fruit wouldn't keep well, so they had to be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise they would easily go bad.
Lin Yiwan used to bring Cao Jianyu fruit by the basketful, but now that it's so hot, she doesn't dare to bring so much anymore. She brings it in small portions, and then brings more for Cao Jianyu after she finishes eating.
Cao Jianyu needed to feed the baby, and Lin Yiwan certainly couldn't let her suffer from malnutrition at this time.
After Cao Jianyu finished her postpartum confinement period, Lin's mother came to take care of the baby every day during the day so that Cao Jianyu could get a good rest, while Cao Jianyu had to take care of the baby herself at night.
By this time, little Wangshu was almost 100 days old. She had grown strong and sturdy, and you didn't have to be so careful when you picked her up. Lin's mother often took little Wangshu out to see the scenery and people when it was cool, so as to prevent her from becoming timid and cowardly in the future.
This is the first grandchild of the Lin family. Even if it's a girl, the Lin family will love her dearly. They are not like other families that favor boys over girls!
As evening approached and the weather cooled down, the big tree at the village entrance was filled with adults holding their children, enjoying the cool shade. Xu Mengying focused more on her son and didn't pay much attention to her daughter. She often chatted with everyone while holding her son. Liang Zhaodi was also there. It was because of the children that the two of them grew closer.
However, no one dares to do anything now because the punishment is too severe, and no one has offended them, so why would they resort to underhanded tactics?
Even if you dislike Wenxi, that was years ago. It would be foolish to cause trouble and affect yourself because of that.
That day, while everyone was picking watermelons in the field, Lin Yiwan whispered as she picked some, "Xiaoxi, do you remember Lin Chuyang's wife? Didn't I tell you before that my aunt went to take care of her, and she sent my aunt back?"
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow, full of curiosity, "What happened again?"
Lin Yiwan nodded mysteriously, then came to Wen Xi's side with the watermelon in her arms and whispered, "Lin Chuyang went to pick her up from get off work last night and saw her hugging a man. That's when he found out that the man was her lover and that the child in her belly was his. No wonder she doesn't like my aunt. She doesn't really like Lin Chuyang, so how could she like my aunt? She's just taking advantage of Lin Chuyang's feelings for her!"
"Huh?" Wen Xi was shocked. "And now? Is Lin Chuyang just going to wear this green hat on his head like this?"
“How could that be? My cousin reported them directly. If you don’t handle this kind of thing decisively, he might have to raise someone else’s child for the rest of his life. After all, there’s no way to find out if the child is his or hers. What if she comes back with the child and says it’s my cousin’s? My cousin can’t refuse it.” Lin Yiwan said, “By making a big fuss and letting everyone know the truth, and that the child isn’t his, their subsequent plans will have no chance to be implemented.”
Wen Xi nodded thoughtfully, "Why do you think Lin Chuyang is so unlucky?"
"Whose fault is this? It's all his own. He found this person himself, not someone else introduced him to her. But it's lucky he caught them. Otherwise, if they had kept it a secret, he would have had to raise their child for the rest of his life. When the child grew up and the biological father came to take him back, he would have nothing. This is a good time to cut his losses. Besides, he didn't lose anything. After all, they were husband and wife for a while. What did he lose?" Lin Yiwan spoke to Wen Xi without any restraint, saying whatever came to mind.
Wenxi hadn't experienced many of these things, and she didn't understand them very well, so she listened in a daze.
“Now my aunt absolutely forbids him from finding a partner on his own anymore. Even if he meets someone he likes, he has to find out about their character first. In fact, the most important thing when looking for a partner is character. People with good character will not do those messy things.”
Everyone put the watermelons into the baskets, and then the men carried the watermelons to the roadside to load them onto the truck. After a flurry of activity, this batch of ripe watermelons was harvested.
The next batch will be here in a few days.
After the watermelons were picked, everyone went home. The new educated youth who were working in the fields were very envious of them for going home so early.
They also wanted to go back so early, but the watermelon field didn't need so many people. After all, there were still ten girls learning with them, and they already had enough people there. They definitely wouldn't add any more people, otherwise they probably wouldn't even be able to stand properly.
They didn't know that the current farm work was a piece of cake compared to the double harvest season; the double harvest season was the hardest.
Back home, Wenxi drew a bucket of well water, washed her hands and face briefly, and then went to the kitchen. It was only a little past nine o'clock, but it was already unbearably hot.
Wenxi stockpiled a lot of cold drinks in the 21st century, but she couldn't take them out to enjoy. It was such a waste. She could only enjoy them secretly.
It's not that she's selfish, it's just that there's really no way to explain it. It's not like it's chicken, duck, goose, fish, or meat; you could say it was bought, exchanged, or caught by herself.
