Chapter 36 Wen Jun is a very good person
Xu Zhiyi was puzzled, "Huh?"
The man coughed lightly, turned around and strode back into the house. When he came out again, he was holding a pack of new, unopened towels in his hand.
He opened the package with his back to Xu Zhiyi and handed the towel to her.
"Your hair is wet, wipe it with a dry towel."
Xu Zhiyi lowered her head and saw that there was a large wet area on her chest. Her face instantly flushed. She reached out to take the towel and whispered thank you.
"Well, go back to your room and get some rest early." Wen Jun's voice was gentle, without any change in his voice.
It was not until footsteps were heard and the door was gently closed that Wen Yun's tense expression finally relaxed a little.
He entered the kitchen and saw that it was clean except for the lonely red plastic basin on the floor.
The plastic basin was only as big as his palm. Wen Jun fell into deep thought. This basin was too small for washing Xu Zhiyi, not even for Wen Sining.
It seems he will have to make a new basin tomorrow.
Xu Zhiyi got up very early the next day. She wanted to get up early to make breakfast.
Unexpectedly, when she walked out of the house, she heard noises coming from the kitchen and thick white smoke coming out of the chimney.
She lifted the curtain and looked inside.
Wen Yun was busying himself in front of a big pot. Xu Zhiyi felt bad for him and followed him in.
"Let me help." Xu Zhiyi reached out and took the wooden shovel.
White porridge is cooking in the pot. The plump rice grains are white and shiny. Small bubbles keep coming out of the pot, indicating that the rice porridge is cooked.
Wen Yun tilted his head to look at the girl beside him, "Sorry, there's not much food at home. I only made some porridge this morning."
Xu Zhiyi took the bowl with a smile and scooped up the porridge with a wooden spoon. "It's good to have porridge. I'm not picky."
She scooped three bowls of porridge and was about to take them out when Wen Yun stopped her.
"Go wash up first. The porridge is too hot. Leave it here to cool."
"Hmm? Okay." Xu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then she nodded, turned and left the kitchen.
Wen Yun started another pot, scooped a spoonful of lard into the pot, and when the oil was hot, he beat in three eggs.
The egg liquid sizzled instantly when it came into contact with the hot oil, and was fried until one side was golden brown. Wen Yun used a spatula to flip all three eggs over with quick movements.
Wen Sining was awakened by the aroma of fried eggs.
She got out of bed and walked out of the room in a daze, and happened to meet Xu Zhiyi who had just finished washing up.
Wen Sining sniffed her nose and said, "Sister Xu, do you smell the fragrance? It's the smell of fried eggs. It smells so good!"
Xu Zhiyi smiled helplessly, "Your brother got up early in the morning to cook, how could it not smell good?"
Wen Si Ning shook his head happily and sighed, "I didn't expect that my grandfather...my brother is still a snail boy."
"Snail boy?" Xu Zhiyi was curious. "What does this mean?"
Wen Sining put his arm around Xu Zhiyi and whispered, "He would sneak out of the snail shell while the owner was away, finish all the housework, and then sneak back into the shell when the owner came back."
Xu Zhiyi smiled and said, "This is the first time I've heard of such a statement."
By the time Wen Sining finished washing up, breakfast had already been served on the table.
Wen Sining looked at the golden and crispy fried eggs and the white and glutinous rice porridge, and his stomach began to growl.
Wen Yun handed them the chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly, the temperature is just right now."
Three poached eggs were placed on each plate, and a few drops of brewed soy sauce were poured in the middle of the eggs, which instantly made the fried eggs flavorful.
Xu Zhiyi finished breakfast and went out quickly.
Suddenly, only the two siblings were left at home.
Wen Sining collected the bowl and was about to wash it, but Wen Jun took it over and said, "Don't be so busy with this. When you have time, practice the words that Xu Zhiqing taught you last night."
Wen Si Ning sighed helplessly, "Brother, if you want me to study, I need books to learn effectively. I should be able to get elementary school books in town."
"Oh, and there are pencils and paper. The paper and pencil I used yesterday were Sister Xu's. I'm so embarrassed!"
Wen Jun thought about it and agreed. He asked Xu Zhiqing to help teach his sister, but he didn't provide paper and pen, and even used someone else's. It seemed like they were taking advantage of the girl.
How could he, a soldier, take even a single needle or thread from the people?
"After I finish washing the dishes, I'll go to town and get everything ready for you."
"Brother, there are also high school textbooks. It would be great if you could get them."
Wen Yun frowned, looking at her with a puzzled look, "What do you want high school textbooks for? I don't ask you to get into high school, as long as you can graduate from junior high school, that's already good enough."
"Sister Xu's dream is to go to university and become a doctor. Life in the countryside is so hard. For the educated youth who went there, the only comfort is to read textbooks and supplement their knowledge while working."
"What if the college entrance examination is resumed in a few months? If that day really comes, then Sister Xu will be fully prepared, right?"
Wen Jun thought about it and felt that what Wen Sining said made sense.
Even if the college entrance examination will not be resumed, isn’t the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University still recruiting students?
As long as you achieve outstanding performance in agricultural work, you can get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
This is also a good opportunity to get into college.
As long as it can help her, what's the problem with a high school textbook?
"Well, I'll go to the town later. You stay at home and practice calligraphy!" Wen Jun did not forget to tell her.
Wen Sining responded obediently. Of course she had to stay at home. Grandpa and grandma were out, so she had to stay home to make lunch.
Although Wen Sining's cooking skills are not good, she is a modern person after all and can cook some modern delicacies. For people of this era, any food with a little oil can be considered a delicacy.
Wen Sining is still very confident in his cooking skills.
When Xu Zhiyi went to work, many villagers gathered around her and asked her about Wen Yun.
"Xu Zhiqing, I heard Wen Jun is back? He was brought back yesterday by a special military vehicle. Do you know what rank Wen Jun has been promoted to now?"
"Xu Zhiqing, do you know how long Wen Jun will stay this time?"
"Hey, Xu Zhiqing, Wen Yun..."
"Enough! What are you doing surrounding Xu Zhiqing? Do you still want to earn work points? You are all so bored!" Fortunately, the team leader came forward and drove away the group of gossiping villagers.
Only then did Xu Zhiyi breathe a sigh of relief.
The team leader looked at Xu Zhiyi and explained to her a little embarrassedly: "Xu Zhiqing, I'm sorry, but the people in the village have a good impression of Wen Yun, and everyone wants to introduce their daughters to Wen Yun."
"Look, Wen Yun came back yesterday, and the whole village heard about it. Everyone wanted to come and find out about Wen Yun's recent situation. They knew you were living in the Wen family, so they made up their minds."
Xu Zhiyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After spending time together yesterday, Xu Zhiyi had a very good impression of Wen Jun.
Just as the captain said, Wen Jun is indeed a good person, which is why so many people want to marry their daughters to him.
