The woman quickly put the White Rabbit milk candy into her pocket, then checked her mail. "Comrade, I'm sorry, there's no letter for you."
"Do you have any letters from Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue?" Wen Xi wasn't sure either, so she couldn't help but ask.
"No, not at all," the woman replied.
Shen Jiaojiao ran away from home. As long as she doesn't contact her family first, her family won't know where she is, so they naturally won't write to her on their own initiative.
As for Jiang Yue, she is not favored at home, and her family probably won't write to her. After all, she has just been sent to the countryside and has neither food nor money. They will probably write to Jiang Yue next year and ask her to send food home.
"Comrade, thank you. I'll go write a letter over there and come back to mail it later." Wen Xi took out paper and pen from the cloth bag slung over her shoulder and began to write.
Wenxi decided to send the letter home again this time, so that her older sister could confirm that she had intercepted her letters. She didn't know why her older sister had signed her up for the rural service program or why she had intercepted her letters, but she would return to the city one day and find out the truth.
Wenxi wrote two letters, one to her parents and one to her second brother. As for her eldest sister and two younger brothers, she had already sent greetings to them in her letter, so she didn't need to write to them separately.
Because she knew that her eldest sister would definitely intercept the letter, she didn't write anything she couldn't write. She only wrote about her longing for her parents and family, the hardships of life in the countryside, and hoped that her family could support her... and so on.
After writing the letter, Wenxi bought an envelope and stamps, and then mailed it. She wasn't really asking her parents for help; she was just sending the letter so that her older sister would intercept it!
After a while, she would try to send the letter to her parents and second brother.
After leaving the post office, Wenxi found a secluded spot, retrieved some seasonings for curing bacon from the system's inventory, and then headed to the bathhouse.
"Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, you two go in for a bath first. I'll watch the things outside. I'll go in for a bath after you come out." Wenxi took out the underwear she had prepared for Chen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, stuffed it into their bags, and instructed, "Wear these clothes first after your bath, then put on your thermal underwear, okay?"
"Xiaoxi, we'll go in first then. Thank you for your hard work. We'll try to come out as soon as possible so you can go in for a bath," Shen Jiaojiao said.
"Don't rush, we don't have anything else to do today, so take your time washing and make sure your hair is completely dry before you come out, so you don't catch a cold," Wenxi waved to them.
I'm on holiday and don't have to work anymore. There's no rush to go back. It's fine if I go back tonight. Why are you in such a hurry?
An hour later, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came out of the bathhouse. Because of the bath, their cheeks were rosy, looking like peach blossoms in full bloom on a branch, and they looked very cute.
"Xiaoxi, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. The stove inside was too weak, and it took several tens of minutes for my hair to dry. I should have just not washed my hair. But the shampoo you gave us smells really nice!" Shen Jiaojiao said with a smile.
"It's a rare opportunity to take a bath, so naturally I want to get thoroughly clean. It won't take much time. You guys watch the things from now on, I'm going in for a bath."
Wenxi picked up her bath supplies, bought tickets, and went inside to bathe. They were the first to arrive, so there weren't many people in the bathhouse, and the water in the pool wasn't dirty.
Most importantly, this is a natural hot spring containing various minerals, and soaking in it is very good for your body and skin.
Wenxi came to the edge of the pool, took off her clothes, and went into the water. Then she squatted in the steaming water, washing her hair while soaking in the bath.
Wenxi didn't soak for too long; the bath and hair washing together took less than half an hour. After the bath, she wrapped her hair in a towel, got dressed, and went to sit by the stove. She dried her hair with a towel while warming herself by the fire. Once her hair was almost dry, Wenxi got ready and went out.
This isn't the north, and the temperature isn't particularly low, so my hair won't freeze.
The three of them took turns going to the public bathhouse, which took them more than two hours in total. It was already noon, and Wenxi wanted to eat at the state-run restaurant before going back.
"I still have food coupons. Let's go to the state-run restaurant to eat first! Otherwise, we won't have the strength to carry all this stuff back!" Carrying dozens of kilograms of stuff is very physically demanding.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue nodded repeatedly, after all, they were indeed hungry, and they couldn't just hug and gnaw on the pig offal and trotters in their baskets.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the state-run restaurant. It was lunchtime, and there were already quite a few people inside. The smell of pig offal was too strong, and if they brought it into the state-run restaurant, they would be scolded to death. So they could only leave the basket in front of the state-run restaurant and have one person watch it.
Wen Xi and Jiang Yue went in first and ordered two bowls of vegetarian noodles. Vegetarian noodles are very cheap, only two cents a bowl, and the portion is quite large. As for why she didn't order meat dishes, there was so much meat in the basket outside, and she was quite good at cooking herself. Why should she come to a state-run restaurant and spend several times the price to order meat dishes?
At that time, the staff looked down on everyone, with cold faces, as if others owed them tens of thousands of dollars, and had no sense of service at all.
The first time you encounter someone like this, you might feel wronged, wondering why you have to put up with this attitude when you're spending money. But most people who have experienced this get used to it and stop taking it seriously.
Wenxi didn't say anything. After paying, she pulled Jiang Yue to find a seat. When they heard someone call out that the noodles were ready, the two of them went over and brought the noodles over.
Then we started eating. Although it was a blend of two types of noodles, it had its own unique flavor. The hot and chewy noodles warmed up my body.
Wen Xi was eating noodles one bite at a time when she saw Lin Yiwan, Lin Lan, Lin Jing, and Lin Qing walk in side by side.
The four of them were always inseparable, making it seem like they all liked the female lead.
But in reality, only Lin Jing liked Lin Yiwan, and he had long regarded Lin Yiwan as his only one. It's just that Wen Xi didn't like this Lin Jing very much. He always hid behind his brother and let his brother stand up for him. Later, his brother ate peanuts for him, and he got married and had children. His brother died so unjustly.
Lin Jing's love for Lin Yiwan was more about possession, wasn't it? Once he realized he really had no chance of having her, he started living his own life again.
