Chapter 176 Qian Qiusheng Delivers Firewood
Wen Xi sat on the edge of the bed, took out the dressing box that Grandma Sun gave her, placed it on the bed, and then opened the dressing box. The moment the dressing box was opened, Wen Xi's eyes were almost blinded by the light.
Because all the things in there were jewellery, and there was also a stamp album with a lot of stamps in it, Wen Xi flipped through it carefully, and there were at least dozens of pieces, and there were two layers of small yellow croakers at the bottom.
It’s sent. It’s sent.
Wen Xi rolled over on the bed happily. These things were worthless now, a few dollars at most, and the small yellow croaker could not be sold at a high price. However, in a few decades, these things would be priceless.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the heroine to ask for half money and half old items every time she trades with the black market.
She didn't expect Grandma Sun would be so generous as to give her so many things. It seems that giving food to Grandma Sun is not enough to offset the value of these things. Wen Xi decided to take care of Grandma Sun in her old age and treat her as her own grandmother.
I guess that's what Grandma Sun meant. Otherwise, why would she give a box when she could give just one? Maybe she just wanted to win over her and He Chen'an because they were so kind.
Hearing the bell for the end of work, Wen Xi knew that Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue would be back soon, so she quickly closed the lid of the dressing box, put it into the system warehouse, and went to the kitchen to cook.
Shredded potatoes with vinegar, scrambled eggs with cucumber, vegetable and minced meat soup, and a serving of braised pork were brought out, and they said they were just takeaways from the state-owned restaurant.
Because there is actually not much time between her return and everyone getting off work, it would not be appropriate for her to serve dishes that take too much time.
Soon Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came back. When they saw Wen Xi, they were both stunned. Then they ran to Wen Xi and chirped about him like two little sparrows.
Wen Xi felt warm in her heart and said with a smile, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. I've made delicious food, so hurry up and wash your hands and come eat!"
The two men looked at Wen Xi carefully and were relieved to see that she was indeed fine.
Wenxi was often not at home, and they were used to it, but this was the first time they had seen him disappear for two days at a time. They were afraid of ruining Wenxi's plans, so they didn't dare say anything.
When others came to ask about Wenxi's affairs, they would tell them, "If you have any questions, it's better to ask Wenxi, the person involved. We outsiders should not talk about other people's affairs."
The three of them are one, they prosper together and suffer together, so naturally they have to protect each other.
The three of them were having dinner when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Jiang Yue was sitting closest to the kitchen door, so she got up and went out to open the door, but Wen Xi soon heard Jiang Yue's shout.
Wen Xi put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out in confusion.
I saw Qian Qiu Sheng pushing a cart of firewood on a wooden cart, while Jiang Yue was standing at the door with an embarrassed look on her face.
Wen Xi took a look at the firewood on the wooden cart. They were all tree branches, not the bamboo chips from last time. Wen Xi felt relieved because she had already used the bamboo chips that someone had sent her last night. If the bamboo chips were also sent by Qian Qiu Sheng, she would regret it to death. But now it seems that the bamboo chips were not sent by Qian Qiu Sheng.
"Comrade Qian Qiu Sheng, what are you doing?" Wen Xi asked in confusion.
Qian Qiusheng scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly, "Xiaoxi, my mother asked me to bring you firewood. Please open the door quickly and I will bring the firewood in for you."
"Comrade Qian Qiu Sheng, thank you for your kindness. We have enough firewood at home and do not need you to deliver firewood to us, so you should take the firewood back. This way, Aunt Dahua will be more relaxed, right?" Wen Xi pulled Jiang Yue into the yard and then closed the gate.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qian Qiu Sheng's face after being rejected, and a trace of anger flashed across his heart. This ungrateful woman actually rejected his feelings.
After they get married, let’s see how he deals with her at night.
"Why would Qian Qiu Sheng send us firewood when he was fine?" Jiang Yue asked in confusion.
"I don't know either, but we should be careful. Why would a man who is indecisive and has no partner come to us? It's just for that one purpose." It's not that Wen Xi wants to think the worst of people, but Qian Qiu Sheng is a person that makes her think more.
Jiang Yue and Shen Jiaojiao nodded. They were both extremely cautious now. When their aunt wanted to introduce them to nephews from her natal family while they were working, they said that their parents did not allow them to find a partner, otherwise they would break their partner's legs.
When they were working in the fields, if any male comrades came to talk to them, they would go directly to Aunt Meihua, leaving them no chance to squeeze in.
Even if they wanted to create public opinion, they couldn't.
Seeing the pregnant women in the team working in the fields made them more certain that they could not marry in the countryside, otherwise they would really have to live a life facing the loess and back to the sky for the rest of their lives.
They have no sympathy for others at all. Even when they are pregnant, they make women do so much hard work. They have to work in the fields and take care of the household. No matter how many people there are in the family, they all wait for the women to take care of them, as if they themselves have no hands or feet.
Is such a family worth such a big sacrifice for them?
They are living a very good life with Wenxi now. There is no need to give up such a good life and marry into someone else's family to suffer.
In the evening, Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui came to class. Now they were taking junior high school courses, so Wen Xi pulled Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to attend class together, because she hoped that the three of them could be together when they went to college in the future, and when they started a business in the future, the three of them could still be together.
After class, Wenxi took the four girls out to the rice field and taught them how to catch eels and crayfish. Crayfish have more shell than meat, just like snails, and they cost two cents per pound, while eels cost ten cents per pound.
These things are especially easy to catch on summer nights, and Wenxi also wants them to make more money during these summer months so that she can earn more too.
However, Wenxi did not plan to cook snails and crayfish and sell them on the black market right now, because the bamboo shoots she collected earlier had not been processed yet. She was alone, and even if she had a bamboo shoot peeling machine and a system kitchen, there was no one to help her process them. She still had to go to the system kitchen to process them herself, and she could only go in to process them for a while every day.
During those few months, the four of them broke off a lot of bamboo shoots for her, enough for her to sell for a while. After the bamboo shoots were sold out, she would sell snails.
If she sells the snails after the season is over, no one will compete with her for business. Otherwise, everyone knows that processed snails are so delicious, and everyone will go to the countryside to buy snails. Will she still be able to sell her snails at a high price?
