The next morning, after getting up, Wenxi took some fruit and went out. She went to the well to draw water and soaked the fruit in it. This way, when she ate it, it would be cool and refreshing.
When the fruit at home ran out, Qin Mi would bring some back. Although Qin Mi was busy with work and didn't have much time to spend with her, he took good care of her in every way, so that she didn't have to worry about these trivial things.
Wenxi didn't want to eat anything too hot in the morning, so she cooked mung bean porridge, made a big bowl of pancakes, put six on a plate, and left the rest in the system kitchen.
I cut up two more salted duck eggs and took out a few pickled cucumbers from the pickle jar.
When Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came out for breakfast, the mung bean porridge had already cooled down. It tasted refreshing and pleasant. Actually, eating seafood with dipping sauce is very comfortable in this season, but Wen Xi didn't go out, so it wasn't appropriate to bring out seafood with dipping sauce.
She wanted to take out ice cream or popsicles to eat, but the distance from the town's supply and marketing cooperative to here was too far, and she couldn't possibly bring them back.
So she had to eat alone in the system kitchen.
There's not much to do in the watermelon field this season; the only task is picking watermelons. And even then, the watermelons are only picked after they're ripe. Before they're ripe, everyone sits in the watermelon shed, drinks tea, and occasionally patrols the field to prevent watermelons from being stolen.
With only a few months left until the college entrance examination, Wenxi has already finished teaching Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui the high school curriculum and is now helping them with their review.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue also finished their high school courses with Wen Xi. They would sit together to review when they had time. Wen Xi naturally hoped that they could take the college entrance exam and return to Beijing with her so that they could start a business together in the future. However, if they did not pass the exam and returned to Beijing, they could go there after graduation.
Of course, if they don't want to go to Beijing, Wenxi can also help them start their own businesses, and she can invest and take a share of the profits.
Since they are good sisters, Wenxi certainly can't let them fall behind.
Seeing Qian Aiyun standing outside watching them, Wen Xi asked with some surprise, "Qian Aiyun, is there something you need here?"
Qian Aiyun was one of the ten girls who learned to grow watermelons.
"Sister Wen, can we study with you?" Qian Aiyun asked Wen Xi shyly.
Although the team is now providing free education for the children, these girls are too old to sit and study with younger children. Besides, at this age, their families won't let them give up earning work points to go to school, since they'll be of marriageable age in two years.
Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "Sure, I happen to have some elementary school textbooks on hand, which I can use to teach you. How about this, I'll make the arrangements first and let you know tomorrow morning, okay?"
Qian Aiyun nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Sister Wen. We will definitely study hard and will never let you down."
After Qian Aiyun met up with the other girls, Wen Xi called everyone over and said, "Qian Aiyun just came to see us and said she wanted to study with us. I happen to have some elementary school textbooks on hand, so let's start tomorrow and teach them for two hours in the cool mornings! Who would like to teach them?"
Tian Shengnan raised her hand and said, "I can sing, I can teach them to sing."
Lu Mingxiu said, "Then I'll teach them math!"
Shen Jiaojiao said, "I will teach them Chinese."
Wen Xi nodded. "I'll go back and make a timetable today. From now on, everyone can teach them according to the timetable, and teach as much as they can."
After all, everyone will be leaving here in a few months, so naturally we'll only teach them as much as we can. We can't teach them more if we want to, and they'll have to learn on their own from now on.
Back home, Wenxi sat down at her desk and started making a schedule. Every morning from seven to nine o'clock, everyone would teach the ten girls, initially focusing on Chinese, math, and music. Since they had no foundation in these subjects, it was impossible to teach them complex courses directly.
Moreover, everyone was in the watermelon field in the morning. Even if Lu Mingxiu was giving a lesson, no one would think there was anything between them. After all, a male teacher teaching ten girls would definitely cause gossip in a feudal rural area. But with Wen Xi and the others there, even if the villagers wanted to gossip, they couldn't.
Wen Xi found the books she used to teach Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui, put the class schedule in them, and then went to take care of her own business.
When the evenings are cool, Wenxi goes to the homes of people she has good relationships with to exchange dried mushrooms for vegetable seeds, so that the superior varieties can continue to be produced.
Just like tomatoes nowadays, they're delicious eaten as fruit, unlike tomatoes from later generations. Even if she doesn't necessarily work in this industry in the future, growing some for her own consumption is fine, right?
The next morning, everyone went to the watermelon field, set up one of the watermelon sheds like a classroom, and then taught them according to the timetable.
They all cherished the opportunity to learn, and their faces were full of seriousness. Those who followed Wenxi to grow watermelons saw that Wenxi had not given up her studies, and they all picked up their studies again.
In the educated youth settlement, Wang Xin would come back from work and like to read books. Some people thought she was pretending to be cultured and was very hypocritical, but others secretly followed suit and started learning from her.
Someday in the future, they will surely thank themselves for their hard work and ambition during this time.
Wenxi kept in mind Jin Changqing's due date. The two siblings had no parents, and Jin Changfeng was away and couldn't come back. When Jin Changqing gave birth, they would definitely be too busy to help.
Calculating the days, Wenxi felt that Jin Changqing should be about to give birth, so she took the things she had prepared in advance and went to the town. Wenxi had never been to Jin Changqing's house before and did not know where it was, so she went directly to the police station to find Gu Yuanshan.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Yan Zheng as soon as he arrived outside the police station.
Both of them were momentarily stunned, because it felt like they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Yan's mother was probably busy taking care of Binbin and hadn't taken Yan Lili to the countryside to find Wenxi or Jiang Yue.
"Brother Yan," Wen Xi called out somewhat awkwardly.
Yan Zheng was also a little embarrassed. "Xiao Xi, did you come to see me?"
He felt as if he didn't deserve to stand by her side because of everything he had been through. She was such a good person, but he seemed to have never taken anything to heart.
If he had been more proactive back then, things might have been different.
"Brother Yan, I'm here to see Gu Yuanshan. I wonder if Gu Yuanshan is inside?" Wen Xi asked.

"After the eldest sister from the 1960s joined the army, the ungrateful bastards cried with regret."
