Although refrigerators have existed in China for a long time, and wealthy families in cities do own them, they have not yet entered the homes of ordinary people.
Even twenty years from now, not every household will have a refrigerator.
So Wenxi took out three cups of plum juice, poured them into everyone's teacups, and then called Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue over to drink the plum juice, saying that she had made it herself with plum powder and then hung it in the well to chill.
Wenxi had signed in so many fruit juice powders before, some of which did contain plum powder. In addition, she had also stockpiled a lot of these things online in the mission world. Plus, the system kitchen had a freezer that could freeze ice cubes, so she could just add a few ice cubes.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue ran over, picked up the plum juice, and drank it. "So refreshing!"
Wen Xi smiled faintly, "Does it have to be so exaggerated? Alright, you all go back to your rooms and rest for a while. I'm going to make lunch. It'll be less hot if we cook earlier."
"Xiaoxi, just make something simple, it's too hot today," Jiang Yue said.
Knowing that Wenxi works hard at cooking, they all take care of their other tasks so that Wenxi won't have to worry about anything.
"I know, don't worry!" Wen Xi said.
Now, apart from cooking rice, she serves all the dishes directly. Otherwise, cooking three meals a day in the sweltering summer would be so tiring and hot, and she would never allow herself to live such a tiring life in her life.
Today, Wenxi served stir-fried dried rabbit, stir-fried cured pork with green peppers, stir-fried green beans, and tomato and egg soup.
Afterwards, I drew well water and went to the room to wipe the bamboo mat on the bed.
After lunch, the bamboo mat that had just been wiped clean was no longer wet, so Wenxi lay down to rest. Although it was very hot outside, the freshly wiped mattress was cool and comfortable to lie on.
Wenxi fell asleep in no time.
After waking up from a nap, Wen Xi was covered in sweat. She immediately went into the system kitchen, took a nice and relaxing shower, and then came out.
Wenxi took the watermelon out of the well water, cut it in half, and called Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue over to eat it. She only ate half of it and put the other half away to eat later that night.
Wenxi secretly added a few ice cubes to the watermelon when she was soaking it, so the watermelon tasted cool and refreshing, especially refreshing.
When it got cooler in the evening, Wenxi went to exchange dried mushrooms with the families she was on good terms with. In the village, she met Lin Chuyang, who had just returned and looked travel-worn.
Lin Yiwan had told Wen Xi about what had happened to Lin Chuyang before, but Wen Xi pretended not to know and just nodded to him without saying anything more.
Otherwise, what's the difference between that and rubbing salt into his wound?
Lin Chuyang stared blankly at Wen Xi's departing figure. He thought to himself, "People really have to stick to their own hearts and not settle for second best. It's because I didn't like it that I didn't care, and that's why I was deceived so badly."
If I had stuck to my principles back then, would I have avoided this ordeal?
But what's done is done, and there's no use in regretting it now.
Lin Chuyang carried his things and walked home dejectedly. He suddenly felt a little envious of Lin Yihui. He listened to his family, went on blind dates and got married. Now he has a wife and children and can still concentrate on his work outside. It seems that sometimes you still have to listen to your parents more.
Mo Qiaolin was playing in the village with her daughter when she saw Lin Chuyang. Lin Chuyang's story had already spread, and she naturally knew about it. Because of their similar experiences, she felt sympathy for Lin Chuyang.
She had only seen Jin Changfeng before, and hadn't seen the other outstanding young people in the village. If she had looked at the others, she wouldn't be in such a miserable situation.
When Lin Chuyang returned home, his family looked at him with disapproval, blaming him for having poor judgment in choosing such a wife who had ruined his life.
Although it wasn't his fault and it didn't affect his work, it just damaged his reputation.
Lin Chuyang's mother gets angry whenever she thinks of that woman. She kindly went to take care of that woman, but the woman actually kicked her out and wouldn't let her stay at her son's house.
Now Lin Chuyang's mother has realized what's going on. She's probably worried that her presence will interfere with her secret rendezvous with the man, or that she might discover something there. Luckily, she didn't take care of her for more than a few days, otherwise, she would really be disgusted to death if she had to take care of someone else's illegitimate child.
Lin Chuyang's mother told him not to look for a partner on his own anymore, that the family would find a suitable one for him, and that he would be happy as long as he listened to the family's arrangements. She said that he would not be happy if he messed around on his own.
After this incident, Lin Chuyang was indeed frightened. He no longer dared to trust women outside. It was better to find someone he knew well, at least someone who wouldn't cause such messy trouble.
After Zhang Yong returned home to farm, he often heard villagers talk about how his family treated Mo Qiaolin, and Zhang Yong felt very regretful.
He was indeed tricked by Mo Qiaolin, and he really didn't like Mo Qiaolin, which is why he didn't want to take Mo Qiaolin to his workplace and left her at home instead.
But he never expected his family to treat Mo Qiaolin like this. Their attitude showed that they ate his food, drank his water, and used his things, but no one respected him or cared about him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have treated Mo Qiaolin like this.
Thinking about how Mo Qiaolin must have suffered a lot and encountered countless dangers on her way home, it's clear that she went through a lot of hardships to get home alive.
If he hadn't looked down on her back then and had treated her well instead, he would definitely be very happy now, with a wife and children, a job and an income, instead of being someone everyone can point fingers at.
Zhang Yong got a letter of introduction from the village head and went to find Mo Qiaolin. He owed her too much and wanted to make it up to her.
When Zhang Yong appeared at the Fengshou Brigade, some people who remembered what he looked like took their farm tools and taught him a lesson, leaving him covered in bruises in no time.
It was Captain Qian who came to stop him; otherwise, Zhang Yong would have been seriously injured today.
"Comrade Zhang, what are you doing in our team?" Captain Qian was also very displeased to see Zhang Yong. If you marry someone, shouldn't you take responsibility for her and treat her well?
"Captain, I'm here to see Mo Qiaolin. I know I made a lot of mistakes in the past, and now I just want to make it up to them, mother and daughter." Zhang Yong wished he could slap his past self a few times. They already had a child, and he didn't even come back to pick them up.
"You should leave!" Captain Qian said. "The Mo family hates you to the core. There's no future for the two of you. You'd better not show your face in front of the Mo family, or I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death."
If everyone in the village is so angry, how much more so must the Mo family be?
He married someone else's daughter, yet he treats her like this. He doesn't respect her family at all. No wonder he'll be given a cold shoulder.
