Wenxi didn't know how to comfort her second brother, so she could only pat his back again and again. With the sign-in system, she shouldn't die, and she had also quickly taken a life-saving pill, so it was unlikely that she would never see her family again.
But in Pei Jingzhou's eyes, she almost died and everyone would never see her again, so it was normal for him to have such emotional fluctuations.
If there is no emotional fluctuation, it means that her second brother does not care about her. He has taken care of her since she was a child, even more than her parents. So naturally, he cares about her.
Shen Jiaojiao washed a large bowl of cherries and knocked on Wenxi's door.
They never enter their sisters' rooms without permission; they always ask for the other's consent first.
"Come in!" Wen Xi said.
Shen Jiaojiao brought in cherries and placed them on the table next to her. "Second Brother, have some fruit to tide you over. You can have dinner in a little while."
"Thank you." Pei Jingzhou placed the cherries in front of Wen Xi. Wen Xi reached out and took a few, saying, "Second brother, you should eat some too. I'm getting tired of eating them every day. You should eat more."
She's been living a really good life lately, but her injuries were so severe that they couldn't be healed in a short time. However, she's recovered now and can return to a normal life.
However, Qin Mi was still the same as before. As soon as the vegetables and fruits were almost gone, he would immediately replenish them. Wen Xi strongly suspected that Lin Yiwan was going out more often now to supply fresh fruits and vegetables to the market, otherwise it would be difficult for them to buy these things here, because they didn't have any.
Moreover, many of the vegetables are from the summer, and Lin Yiwan really doesn't care about the season so that she can eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had prepared dinner and came over to call the two of them to go out for dinner. The soup was old hen soup, and the dishes were cucumber stir-fried with eggs, braised eggplant, and broccoli in broth.
Since Wenxi's health has almost fully recovered, the taste of the food has gradually returned to normal, and Wenxi doesn't want to eat dishes that lack oil and salt anymore.
"Is this the last old hen?" Wenxi asked. She remembered that Qin Mi had sent seven old hens, one a week, and they had been eating them for seven weeks.
Wenxi then realized that she had been a freeloader for almost two months.
Time flies, and summer has arrived. This year, because of her, no one has even picked bamboo shoots. Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue wanted to pick them, but they didn't have time.
I missed the opportunity to make money this year, but I can't miss the opportunity to make money this summer.
During this time, Qin Mi also applied for and received letters of commendation and rewards for them. The content of the letters of commendation was the same, but the rewards were different because Wen Xi almost lost her life, so her reward was naturally different.
Because of this incident, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue's personal files also became a little prettier.
Before everyone had finished eating, they heard the sound of a car outside. Then Qin Mi carried his things into the yard. Since it was hot now, everyone was eating in the yard, so Qin Mi saw everyone as soon as he entered, and everyone saw Qin Mi as well.
Qin Mi and Pei Jingzhou stared at each other, their eyes practically spitting out intense sparks.
“Brother Qin, this is my second brother, Pei Jingzhou. He was worried that something might have happened to me since I hadn’t contacted him for a long time, so he came to see me.” Wen Xi stood up and introduced, “Second brother, this is Qin Mi.”
"Qin Mi? Why does that name sound familiar? When did I hear this name before?" Pei Jingzhou was puzzled.
“That’s right, it’s the Qin Mi that our parents told us about, the Qin Mi who lives near our house. It’s just that we weren’t even born when he moved, so we don’t know him,” Wen Xi said.
"He's Qin Mi?" Pei Jingzhou's eyes widened in surprise.
Wen Xi nodded. "Yes, he served in the army for many years and was assigned to work here after his discharge. That's where we met."
Then Wenxi said to Qin Mi, "Brother Qin, we just had dinner, why don't you come and eat with us!"
He usually comes in the evening, he's never come this early before. I guess he's not that busy today!
Qin Mi put the things down, then went to the kitchen to get a bowl of rice. After coming back, he sat down next to Wen Xi. There was a long bench next to the dining table, which could seat two people.
Pei Jingzhou's eyes darkened almost imperceptibly when he saw Qin Mi sit directly next to Wen Xi.
While eating, Wenxi said, "Brother Qin, I've recovered after resting for so long, and the vegetables I grew in the yard are ready to eat. You don't need to send any more ingredients over anymore."
Qin Mi's job pays a fixed salary, unlike her who earns money freely. Every penny he earns is hard-earned, and she can't let him keep spending money just because he likes her.
The important thing is that she has her own money, so she doesn't want Qin Mi to keep spending money on her; she hopes he can treat her better.
Qin Mi nodded. "Okay."
In summer, there's no shortage of fruits and vegetables, just fewer varieties, but definitely enough to eat.
Thinking about how many people from the village had come to visit her after her accident, bringing her eggs or nutritional supplements, Wenxi said, "People from the village visited me in the hospital before, and since I was discharged, people often come to chat with me and keep me company. What do you think I should do? Treat everyone to a meal, or give them some things?"
"No need for that. Just step in when you need anything," Qin Mi said.
In the village, everyone gets married or has a baby. When the time comes, people just need to repay the favors during the celebration.
Wen Xi nodded, "Alright, let's do it that way!"
If she hasn't repaid all these favors before leaving, she can just buy some gifts and send them over. In short, she won't give the impression that she's an ungrateful person.
After dinner, Pei Jingzhou and Qin Mi helped clean up, and Shen Jiaojiao shooed them both out, saying, "One of you has been working all day, and the other has been traveling for several days. Go and rest!"
Now that the weather is hot, men like to take cold showers without considering their health at all. Only after Wenxi reminded them did the two of them bring water that had been heated by the sun during the day to take a shower.
Qin Mi was thinking that he was older than Wen Xi, and if he didn't take good care of his body, he wouldn't be able to stay with Wen Xi for the rest of his life. After he was gone, who would protect Wen Xi like he did?
Therefore, he wants to live a very long time.
After the two of them took a bath and washed their clothes by the well and hung them on a bamboo pole, Wenxi led them into the room and arranged, "Brother Qin, you and my second brother will sleep in the same room tonight, and I will sleep with Jiaojiao."
