After Wen Xi finished showering and came out of the bathroom, Qin Mi poked her head out from the kitchen and said, "Xi, I made some white rice porridge. Come and have some."
"Thank you, Brother Qin," Wen Xi replied, and then went into the kitchen.
Qin Mi placed the white rice porridge in front of Wen Xi, saying, "You can't eat greasy food right now."
Wen Xi ate a spoonful of white rice porridge and was surprised to find a faint sweetness in it. It seemed that Qin Mi had added a little sugar. "Brother Qin, I'm sorry for troubling you today!"
If she hadn't come here, she would have gone directly into the system kitchen when she felt unwell, thus avoiding bothering anyone.
“We’re like family, why be so polite? If we’re talking about trouble, isn’t it me who’s troubled you more? Besides, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to recover my health, and I might have even died young!” Qin Mi said.
Wen Xi glared at Qin Mi, "Brother Qin, you can't talk nonsense! You're supposed to live to be a hundred!"
“Yes, may we all live to be a hundred years old. Let’s all live to be a hundred years old together,” Qin Mi said with a smile.
That evening, Qin Mi took Wen Xi back to the Fengshou Brigade. Wen Xi had not fully recovered and was too weak to drive, so Qin Mi did not dare to let Wen Xi drive and instead took her back.
When I drop off Wenxi at night, I drive the car into the village so that the villagers won't see me and won't talk about Wenxi anymore.
As the car pulled up outside Wenxi's house, just as Wenxi was about to open the door and get out, Qin Mi suddenly grabbed her arm and gently placed his other hand on Wenxi's forehead.
Seeing that Wen Xi's forehead temperature was normal, Qin Mi was relieved.
"Xi, if anything happens, you must tell me. Don't keep it to yourself." Wen Xi didn't tell him what had happened, so he didn't know either.
However, he didn't want to investigate Wenxi's affairs. They were on the same side, and he fully respected Wenxi, nor did he want to explore Wenxi's secrets.
Wen Xi didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't bother to inquire about these things.
Wen Xi nodded. "Brother Qin, thank you. Please drive carefully."
After Qin Mi drove away, Wen Xi turned around and knocked on the door. Soon, Shen Jiaojiao came to open the door. Her room was a little in front of Jiang Yue's room, so she could hear more clearly.
"Xiaoxi, you're back." Shen Jiaojiao didn't ask where she had been or what she had done, because this family relied on Wenxi, and all the good things in the house were brought back by Wenxi.
Wenxi took out two cups of milk tea from her basket and handed them to Shen Jiaojiao. She had already changed the cups beforehand, so Shen Jiaojiao couldn't tell anything. What Wenxi brought out was sweet pearl milk tea, and you could even see the black pearls inside!
"Xiaoxi, thank you." Shen Jiaojiao took the milk tea and hurriedly turned to knock on Jiang Yue's door. When Jiang Yue opened the door, she handed the milk tea to her. "Xiaoyue, this is a drink that Xiaoxi brought for us."
Jiang Yue wanted to thank Wen Xi, but Wen Xi was already gone from outside the door.
Wenxi had already returned to her room. Although the thermal underwear Qin Mi had given her was new, the men's clothes were too big and long, making them very uncomfortable to wear. So Wenxi quickly went into the system's inventory, took a shower, changed her clothes, put Qin Mi's thermal underwear into the washing machine, and after finishing, she went to her own clothing section and found a set of thermal underwear in a similar color, intending to return it to Qin Mi.
It would be so embarrassing to return clothes that had been worn to Qin Mi.
The next morning, Wenxi woke up feeling fine, so she got up, tidied herself up, and went to the kitchen to boil water. When she heard movement from Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue's room, Wenxi brought out three bowls of snail rice noodles, poured them into everyone's large bowls, and then quickly called the two of them over to eat.
Because Qin Mi's hometown is not the place of origin of snail rice noodles, the snail rice noodles delivered to her home have more noodles than ingredients. However, Wen Xi is satisfied. After all, it is very rare to be able to go to the 21st century and eat 21st-century food. She is not picky.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue quickly brushed their teeth and rushed over to eat snail rice noodles without even washing their faces, because noodles tend to clump together if not eaten quickly.
The portion of snail rice noodles was very generous; one serving was enough for two people. However, the rice noodles couldn't be saved for the next meal, so all three of them managed to finish the entire serving.
After breakfast, all three of them had full bellies. They looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. They never expected that they, who were used to a good life, would eat so much, as if they hadn't had a full meal in centuries.
They sat for a while until they felt better, then went to do what they needed to do. The house belonged to the three of them, and the housework was divided among them. No one did more or less; everyone did roughly the same amount of work.
Since the most important time of the year, spring planting, Wenxi and her two companions have been cooking for everyone in the main kitchen. The others have also gotten used to the work in the watermelon patch, and Wenxi only needs to go over occasionally to check if anything has gone wrong.
Wenxi and her two companions didn't leave until after nine o'clock, and they got busy as soon as they arrived at the cafeteria.
The climate here is good, so even during the lean season, there are still vegetables to eat. The tender vegetable stalks seem endless; you can pick them today and pick more tomorrow.
Shepherd's purse is everywhere in the rapeseed fields and broad bean fields. It hasn't flowered yet, so it's still edible.
Garlic scapes, cilantro, garland chrysanthemum...
There are also various wild vegetables.
The meat dishes are still snails and fish caught from the river bend. However, after the experience of everyone pooling their money to buy pig offal last time, everyone will pool their money to buy eggs, bones, and pig offal to supplement the meal. Now Wenxi doesn't need to pay anymore; Wenxi just needs to cook.
Since her complete breakup with He Chen'an at the new house, Wen Xi has not seen He Chen'an again. Wen Xi did not specifically inquire about his affairs, but learned from the villagers that his time was up and he had returned to the county hospital. She wondered if he would go to other places to provide medical assistance.
Wenxi couldn't believe that such a loving man, who brewed medicine for her every day and brought it to her every night, would do such a thing.
What in this world is truly real?
Every time she thinks about it, she still feels a pang of pain. Is this what Qin Mi meant by "experiences in growing up"? Is it only through these kinds of experiences that one can grow?
This season is also the time to release fish and crab fry, so while washing vegetables in the river bend, Wenxi secretly released a batch of crucian carp and crab fry. She had caught quite a few big fish in the river bend, and now she was giving back to the river bend.
The check-in system sometimes issues tasks at very short intervals, and sometimes at very long intervals. For example, it's been a while since any tasks have been issued to Wenxi.
