Wen Xi left the dried mushrooms and wild vegetables outside, and stored the ginseng, malted milk powder, and White Rabbit milk candy in the system warehouse. Then she sat down to write a reply to Jin Changfeng, telling him that she had received the ginseng, expressing her gratitude, and asking him not to buy her malted milk powder and other nutritional products anymore, so that he could keep them to supplement his nutrition and have a good body to better serve the country.
After all, he wasn't her biological brother, and she really couldn't bear to let him support her. Besides, she wasn't short of money herself. This era was too tough, and even for someone like Jin Changfeng with a high income, life was very difficult. Wen Xi really couldn't bear to see him like that.
I just hope Jin Changfeng will listen to my advice!
The next day, when the postman came, Wen Xi handed him the replies she had written to He Chen'an and Jin Changfeng, asking him to take them back and deliver them.
With the arrival of the rainy season, I'm not sure about other places like Wenxi, but in Kaiming County, it rains on and off all day long, sometimes many times a day. People were about to put on their summer clothes, but now they've put on their spring clothes again, otherwise their arms and legs feel chilly when exposed.
At that time, medical care and medicine were scarce, and it was easy to die if you got sick. So everyone was very careful to protect their health, for fear of getting sick.
But Wenxi didn't have such concerns, because she pulled out a first-aid kit containing many daily necessities, including life-saving pills and hemostatic powder.
She sent a copy of the life-saving pills and hemostatic powder to Jin Changfeng, asking him to find medical scientists to research and produce them, so that the dangers for soldiers going out on missions would be greatly reduced.
On rainy days, the scenery around Fengshou Brigade is exceptionally beautiful. In the distance, the mountains rise in layers, shrouded in mist, resembling a beautiful landscape painting by an ancient artist. The air is filled with the fragrance of earth and grass, making it exceptionally refreshing.
The river bend is lined with woods on both sides, and in the misty rain, looking from afar, it gives one the illusion of being in the misty rain of Jiangnan.
Hearing the knock, Wen Xi opened the door with an umbrella. She saw Lin Yiwan wearing a straw hat, holding a homemade net and carrying a wooden bucket, standing outside with a smile. She invited, "There are lots of fish in the ditch right now. Want to go fishing together?"
Wen Xi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
Then she turned around and went back into the house to get the fishing equipment. The fishing nets that had been signed for were already worn out, so there was no need to worry. Moreover, Wen Xi later made two fishing nets herself so that Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue would have them.
With a net and a bucket in hand, the three followed Lin Yiwan toward the rice paddies outside the village. The rice paddies were bordered by crisscrossing irrigation ditches used to irrigate the crops.
With abundant rainfall during this period, the water level in the irrigation canals has risen considerably, and playful fish can be seen darting around in groups.
Others may not have the oil and salt to cook oily fish, but Lin Yiwan and Wen Xi have no shortage of these things.
Upon reaching the canal, the group separated and began haphazardly scooping water from the canal with their nets. At this time, aquatic resources were particularly abundant, and by simply scooping, they could catch something with almost every net, ensuring that no net was empty.
These small fish and shrimp are delicious if prepared properly. Of course, if you don't want the hassle of eating them, you can use them to feed the chickens.
Lin Yiwan leaned close to Wen Xi and whispered, "Xiao Xi, when the weather is clear one day, I'll take you out to catch something really delicious tonight."
Wen Xi asked curiously, "What is it?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you now, but you'll see when you get there," Lin Yiwan said mysteriously.
"I won't be free until after 8 p.m." Because she has to teach Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Lin Yiwan nodded, "Okay, then I'll come to your house to call you after 8 p.m.
"Xiaoxi, you're already here! When we arrived at your house, we saw the door locked, so we guessed you were outside." Just as everyone was getting into the excitement, Tian Shengnan and her two companions arrived.
Although they didn't live together, Wenxi still occasionally interacted with them. By being on good terms with them, she was able to learn about things happening at the educated youth settlement as soon as possible.
Tian Shengnan walked over and glanced into Wenxi's wooden bucket. The bottom of the bucket was already covered. "Wow, they've already scooped out so much!"
The three of them eat together, and every few days they have a nice meal. Now all three of them look much better, and their faces are fuller.
Wen Xi nodded, "Yes, it's easy to catch them. You guys should catch some too! Otherwise, it will be harder to catch them when the rain gets heavier."
"Okay." After that, Tian Shengnan quickly went to catch fish. The rice paddy fish she caught at the end of the year were dried and sent home. Because they used too much oil, her family only ate them occasionally, and the rest were secretly sold to families who lacked food.
Tian Shengnan has now tasted the benefits, so whenever she has time, she catches fish, marinates and dries them, and then sends them home to exchange for money and tickets, which makes her life in the countryside a little easier.
Now, Tian Shengnan is the only female educated youth left at the settlement. The male educated youth don't care about her or pay attention to her, so no one says much about it.
Wenxi and her three friends fished for another half hour, catching about half a bucket of small fish and shrimp. Afterward, they carried the bucket to the river bend, intending to clean the fish and shrimp there before going home.
When we arrived at the river bend, we saw Liang Zhaodi washing clothes on the stones where everyone usually washed their clothes. It was drizzling, but she wasn't even wearing a straw hat, just standing there in the rain with her pregnant belly sticking out.
She looks so pitiful, but there's always a reason why someone is pitiful. If she hadn't done those despicable things and hadn't tried to take Lu Xiaoyun's place, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
Moreover, even though she was pitiful, she was still better off than Nie Xiulan, who even lost her life.
Lin Yiwan pulled Lin Xiaoyun aside and whispered, "Now you understand, right? Lu Xiaoyun wasn't genuinely interested in you when he pursued you. He just wanted someone to serve him, and you're pretty, so you could both serve him and make him..."
Lin Yiwan didn't say the rest clearly, but they all understood what she meant without saying a word.
Lin Yiwan understood even more clearly that not only did Lu Xiaoyun want to find a woman to serve him, but Xia Minglei did the same.
Xia Minglei kept quiet, waiting for her to speak first. After all, the one who initiates the conversation is at a disadvantage, and he can make all sorts of demands, asking her to do this or that. As the one who spoke first, she could only try her best to please him and agree to his various requests. However, she did not expect that she would find out about the little tricks he had been up to in the city.
