If we take the rabbit back to the educated youth settlement, not only will it not taste good, but they will probably only get a bite. This rabbit was caught with great difficulty by the three of them, so why should it be given to those who did not contribute anything?
After the rabbit and the tuna were prepared, Wenxi made stewed rabbit with potatoes and sauerkraut fish. The sauerkraut was something she got from signing in, not something she exchanged with Chang Qingqing.
She signed off on a box of seasonings, which included pickled cabbage, pickled bamboo shoots, smoked bamboo shoots, salted green beans, pickled mustard greens, pickled cucumbers, and so on, with five packets of each.
With this, Wenxi won't have to keep looking for Chang Qingqing. If she looks for her too often, Chang Qingqing will probably get annoyed too!
After all the dishes were prepared, everyone helped to bring the food to the table. Then they sat down to eat. Looking at the delicious food on the table, Song Lan, Zhou Bai, and Tian Shengnan were all very shocked and very glad that they had come to find Wen Xi instead of taking the wild rabbit back to the educated youth settlement.
"Wenxi, this place really feels like home," Tian Shengnan said with envy.
“I heard from people who went home to visit relatives that the educated youth settlement was crowded and chaotic, with all sorts of conflicts breaking out every day. I’m just not good at handling these kinds of things, so as soon as I got here, I asked Captain Qian to let me stay outside.” Wen Xi looked around and said, “Sheng Nan, there’s an empty house in the team. If you don’t want to stay in the educated youth settlement, you can rent that house. It’s just that it might be a bit dangerous for you to live alone. Also, Nie Xiulan has already married out, and other people might not be able to handle it and marry villagers. Then there will be fewer and fewer people in the educated youth settlement, and no one will bother you anymore.”
Wen Xi has a secret, so she won't invite Tian Shengnan to live with her. After all, Tian Shengnan is not Shen Jiaojiao or Jiang Yue. To her, she is a complete outsider, and she doesn't dare to trust Tian Shengnan completely.
She was happy to take care of Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue because of their past life relationship. Wen Xi had no relationship with Tian Shengnan in her past life. Tian Shengnan was just an observer in her past life and did nothing when Wen Xi was wronged and bullied.
Of course, Wen Xi could understand Tian Shengnan. If Tian Shengnan spoke up for her, she might get herself into trouble, but the fact that she didn't join the others in bullying Wen Xi showed her attitude.
Moreover, there are empty houses in the village. If Tian Shengnan really wants to move but is unwilling to spend money to buy one, she can choose to rent one, as renting a house is cheaper.
Wenxi was afraid that Captain Qian would try to force the new educated youth to come to her place, so she chose to buy the house so that it would belong entirely to her.
Upon hearing Wen Xi's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in Tian Shengnan's eyes. "Wen Xi, do you really think we can go back in the future?"
"I don't know either, but people often go back to the city, so we should be able to go back someday too! It's just that we don't know when we can go back, so we need to be prepared at any time and pick up our textbooks so that we can find jobs when we get back to the city." Wenxi knew when they could go back to the city, but she couldn't tell everyone explicitly, otherwise how would she explain when people asked her where she got the information?
But since everyone got along well, Wenxi was willing to give a hint. As for whether they should pick up their textbooks, she didn't interfere. Anyway, she only reminded them up to this point.
"Let's not talk about these things anymore, let's eat quickly. Some dishes will become fishy if they get cold. I cooked six fish, one for each of you, don't be shy!" Wen Xi urged.
Then everyone started eating.
Tian Shengnan picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and her eyes immediately lit up. "This fish is so delicious! It's not fishy at all, and the meat is so tender! Wenxi, where did you get this fish?"
"I caught it in the rice paddy," Wenxi said.
Wenxi wouldn't tell anyone about the waterfall nestled in the mountain valley; she wanted everyone to discover it for themselves. She wanted to collect more fish and exchange them for money after everyone found it.
Afterwards, everyone ate and chatted, creating a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
By the wall in Wenxi's backyard, the dog's mother leaned against the wall, sniffing the air. The aroma of food wafted through her, and she couldn't help but swallow hard. But her heart was bleeding. What right did this little bitch have to eat meat? This meat should be offered to her as a sign of respect. Once Wenxi married the dog, she would make sure Wenxi was completely subservient and use everything the family sent her to serve her.
Hearing a man's voice coming from inside, the puppy's mother rolled her eyes in disgust. If it weren't for the fact that the Wen family was well-off and could let her live a good life with the puppy, she wouldn't agree to give the puppy a single penny to such a despicable person.
The puppy's mother swallowed hard, let out a harsh "cui," and reluctantly left. Once the little slut entered the house, she would teach her a lesson; she was both cheap and wasteful.
If it weren't for the fact that the puppy still wanted to marry her and they still needed to rely on Wenxi to live a good life, she would have gone to the brigade headquarters to complain about her right now. A man and a woman alone in a room, who knows if they will end up in bed together later.
The thought of her son marrying such a slut soon filled the dog's mother with unbearable heartache. She was determined to have Wen Xi serve her and the dog like a nanny, and to ask the Wen family for more money to heal her wounded heart. Then she would find a clean woman for her son and have two grandsons.
Wenxi had no idea that someone had already unilaterally decided she was their daughter-in-law and was eyeing her good qualities. She was happily having dinner with everyone!
Dinner made by everyone working together is always delicious.
The six of them finished their meal completely, their bellies full, and they sat on the benches, unwilling to move. Tian Shengnan thought the fish was so delicious that she wanted to go to the rice paddies to catch fish tomorrow.
Now only rice straw roots remain in the paddy fields, the water is crystal clear, and you can see the fish very clearly, making them very easy to catch.
“I have three pig stomachs here. If you’re willing to contribute an old hen, I’ll make pig stomach chicken for everyone tomorrow night. It’s delicious and warming. Think about it.” After saying that, Wen Xi got up to clear the dishes.
Seeing this, Song Lan, Zhou Bai, and Tian Shengnan quickly got up to help. They had caused Wen Xi so much trouble today, and they couldn't expect Wen Xi to do everything. Wen Xi didn't owe them anything.
They only brought a rabbit, but it ate so much of Wenxi's food. In the end, they were the ones who benefited, so they naturally had to do more work to repay Wenxi for taking care of them.
After finishing everything in the kitchen, Song Lan, Zhou Bai, and Tian Shengnan said goodbye to Wen Xi and the others and returned to the educated youth settlement. They were all very satisfied, as if they had just come back to life that night.
