After hesitating for a while, Wenxi took out three servings of fries that she had ordered earlier. She happened to have potatoes at home, so she just said that she had fried them herself.
Then I took out two large cured fish, chopped them into pieces, and fried them until golden brown and crispy. Then I put them back in the pan with seasonings, and a spicy and fragrant fish dish was ready.
When Wenxi was cooking dinner, she cut up some salted pig ears and salted pig trotters and steamed them together. This way, when the rice was ready, the salted pig ears and salted pig trotters would be steamed. However, she still had to cook them again and add some seasoning, otherwise they would only taste salty.
In addition, Wenxi also made a cold purslane salad and a loofah and egg soup. Vegetables like cowpeas and cucumbers would have been over by September, but loofah and broad beans were in high demand at this time of year. So Wenxi's family could hardly finish all the loofah, and she stored the extra ones to eat in the winter.
Jiang Yue was in much better spirits during dinner that evening, just as strong as Wen Xi. Wen Xi had essentially broken up with He Chen'an twice, but she hadn't revealed a thing to anyone, bearing it all alone.
Meanwhile, Lin Yiwan, after several days of arduous travel, finally arrived at her destination. As soon as she reached the train exit, she saw a tall and muscular man standing below her, and she happily waved to him.
Pei Jingzhou waved happily to Lin Yiwan.
That's right, Lin Yiwan rushed out of the hospital this time to find Pei Jingzhou. Since Pei Jingzhou returned, the two of them have been corresponding.
Then, in the previous letter, the two of them started dating, and in the previous letter, they arranged a time to meet, which led to this journey of searching for her husband across a thousand miles.
Lin Yiwan got off the train and jumped right in front of Pei Jingzhou, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him. "Second Brother Pei, we've finally met!"
Pei Jingzhou felt a little uncomfortable under Lin Yiwan's gaze. Although people had confessed to him before, none of them met his aesthetic standards.
That's why his major life event has been delayed until now.
Pei Jingzhou took Lin Yiwan's luggage and nodded, "I'll take you to the guesthouse. You should rest well. I've taken two days off. I'll take you sightseeing another day."
“Okay, I’m new here and not familiar with the area, so I’ll have to listen to you,” Lin Yiwan said with a smile.
Pei Jingzhou took Lin Yiwan to the guesthouse. After checking into the room, Pei Jingzhou escorted Lin Yiwan to her room upstairs. He opened the door, carried her luggage inside, and turned to Lin Yiwan, saying, "Take good care of yourself and get some rest. My room is two rooms away from yours. If you need anything, just come and find me."
Lin Yiwan closed the door with her hands behind her back, then threw herself into Pei Jingzhou's arms, hugged his head and kissed him, but quickly let go, looking at him proudly, "Since he's my boyfriend, is it too much for me to stamp my boyfriend with my own seal?"
"Of course it's not excessive, but since you've stamped my seal, I have to stamp yours too." So Pei Jingzhou kissed him back.
Pei Jingzhou quickly released Lin Yiwan. After all, they were in a guesthouse, and it wouldn't be good if the staff came up and saw them. So Pei Jingzhou quickly left the room.
From entering the door to leaving, it took less than two minutes.
Lin Yiwan changed the sheets and blankets on the bed to her own, and then quickly lay down to rest. She was too tired, and the temperature was not high today, only in the twenties, so she didn't take a shower right away. She decided to rest first and then take a shower!
Lin Yiwan fell asleep quickly, a faint smile still lingering on her lips in her sleep. She had actually dated a local man in this era, and had even done something so outrageous.
She trusted her judgment; she believed she and Pei Jingzhou could get along well. If not, she wouldn't force it. People destined to be together would naturally come together, and forcing those not meant to be would be useless.
When Lin Yiwan woke up, she took a shower and changed her clothes in her space. After cleaning herself up, she came out and saw Pei Jingzhou standing outside the door.
"Second Brother Pei, when did you arrive? Why didn't you knock? You must have been waiting for a long time, right?" Lin Yiwan asked.
"It didn't take long, probably less than five minutes, right? Are you all ready? Let me take you to the state-run restaurant for dinner!" Pei Jingzhou said.
Lin Yiwan smiled and said, "I don't have any tickets from here, so I can only rely on you."
“We’re in a relationship, why are you being so formal?” Pei Jingzhou led Lin Yiwan away from the guesthouse and then went to a nearby state-run restaurant.
By this time, the peak time had passed, so there weren't many dishes left. Pei Jingzhou ordered braised pork, mutton offal soup, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, eight large steamed buns, one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup, enough for two people.
When the dishes were served, Pei Jingzhou first ladled a bowl of mutton offal soup for Lin Yiwan, saying, "This mutton offal soup is very delicious, you should try it."
The mutton offal soup was all white, looking like it hadn't been seasoned much. But the food at this time was truly authentic, unlike where she used to live, where everything was about technology and hard work!
Lin Yiwan took a bite and found it had a strong muttony smell. This smell was impossible to get rid of; even if the mutton skewers from later generations were covered in seasonings, they still couldn't mask the muttony smell. However, it was acceptable.
"It smells so good and tastes so fresh!" Lin Yiwan smiled at Pei Jingzhou. "You should eat too, don't worry about me."
After that, the two ate their meal without exchanging any words.
After finishing our meal and leaving the state-run restaurant, it was already dark. The streetlights were dimly lit along the roadside. This was normal in the county town, unlike the pitch-black countryside. It was a completely different world, which is why everyone wanted to go to the city.
Lin Yiwan also wanted to move to the city, but not to these small cities, but to big cities, because the resources in big cities are really different, and it's impossible to get a local household registration there. That's why she thought of bringing her whole family to the city. With a local household registration, they could enjoy better resources and better benefits.
Cities and rural areas, big cities and small cities, are truly different.
Just like many people who never know what a children's palace is in their entire lives.
Back at the guesthouse, the two returned to their respective rooms. Outside, they couldn't get too close, lest someone make a big deal out of it.
The next morning, Pei Jingzhou took Lin Yiwan to a state-run restaurant for breakfast. The food was fresh and delicious, so Pei Jingzhou didn't bring any leftovers.
After breakfast, Pei Jingzhou took Lin Yiwan to the park. When they arrived at the cinema, it was open, so they went in to watch a movie. In the dimly lit theater, the two sat on a bench, and Pei Jingzhou quietly reached out and held Lin Yiwan's hand.
