After going to the countryside, I rely on the sign-in system to bring my sisters along

Chapter 91 Lotus Seed Glutinous Rice Porridge

The roads in the city were easier to walk on. He Chenan's speed was not slow, but Wenxi didn't feel much bumps. Wenxi was not familiar with He Chenan and didn't know what to talk about, so Wenxi looked here and there to ease the awkwardness.

Before leaving the county town, dusk fell and large patches of dark clouds rolled in, covering the sky little by little, and soon the sky became completely dark.

Although Wenxi went up the mountain before dawn every morning, I had never watched the process of going down after dark in detail. When I saw it for the first time, I felt it was really spectacular.

On both sides of the road leading from the county to the town, there are mountains, rivers and reservoirs in the distance, and rice fields and ditches nearby. It is all pitch black and looks very creepy. However, Wenxi has been running up the mountain every morning and has long been used to it, so he doesn't feel anything about the night.

In the central plains, the temperature in December is the lowest in the year, especially at night, which is even lower. At night, the temperature can even reach several degrees below zero. Wen Xi held on to a certain part of the bicycle with one hand and tightened his clothes with the other hand.

It was not convenient to take out gloves from the system warehouse, so she had to put her hands into her sleeves. Even so, her hands could still feel the biting cold wind, and her nose was almost blown off. She subconsciously hid behind He Chenan.

The big, round full moon casts its cool moonlight all over the earth. A faint fluorescence prevents the night from being so dark that it makes it feel like a snowy night, and everything around can be seen clearly.

Wen Xi couldn't help but raise his head to look at the night sky. The stars were like diamonds inlaid on the dark blue curtain, which was exceptionally spectacular and beautiful.

Suddenly, He Chenan's face appeared in front of Wen Xi. Wen Xi was startled and almost fell off the bicycle. Fortunately, He Chenan reached out and supported her in time.

Wen Xi asked awkwardly, "Doctor He, what's wrong?"

He Chenan didn't expect to meet her gaze as soon as he turned his head, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, "I need you to show me the way."

Wen Xi looked around and realized that they had arrived at the town. The roads in the town were interconnected, and He Chenan didn't know which way the Harvest Team was going.

"Doctor He, just ride forward along this road. I will remind you when we reach the turning point." Wen Xi stuck her head out from the right side of He Chenan and kept an eye on the situation on the right, because the entrance and exit of the road leading to the Harvest Brigade was on the right hand side. If she didn't remind it in time, it would be easy to miss it.

Wen Xi needed to lean over to see the road, and the bumpy bicycle ride caused her body to occasionally stick to He Chenan's back. Although they were both wearing thick cotton jackets, such contact still made He Chenan feel uncomfortably tense.

With Wenxi's occasional reminders, the bicycle finally reached the intersection leading to the Fengshou Brigade. From here, it would take less than twenty minutes to get home, so Wenxi asked He Chenan to stop here.

After riding the bicycle for more than three hours, Wen Xi felt that her legs were about to break. She got off the bicycle and walked to He Chenan in a weird posture. "Doctor He, thank you for sending me back. When are you free? I will treat you to a meal, okay?"

Helping is a favor, not helping is a duty. He Chenan could have chosen not to help, but his upbringing and kindness made him extend a helping hand to her, and she couldn't help but be grateful, so it was her duty to treat him to a meal to express her gratitude.

"You can come to the hospital to see me anytime." He Chenan said, sitting astride the bicycle, straightening his back.

"Well, okay. Then Dr. He, please ride your bike carefully and be safe." Wen Xi responded with a smile.

Watching He Chenan ride away on his bicycle, Wen Xi turned and walked towards the Harvest Team.

Wen Xi had just arrived at the door of her house and was still a few steps away from the courtyard gate when the gate creaked open. Shen Jiaojiao, Jiang Yue, Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui were all standing at the gate looking at her.

Wen Xi was very touched to see that they cared about her so much.

"Xiaoxi, are you okay?" Shen Jiaojiao lowered her voice and asked in a low voice for fear of disturbing the neighbors.

"It's okay." Wen Xi shook his head. Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui were here, so Wen Xi didn't say much. He said to Zhao Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, if I'm not at home in the future, I will leave the textbooks outside and let Jiaojiao and Xiaoyue teach you. This way you don't have to wait for me."

Zhao Yuanyuan nodded, then winked at the place at the foot of the mountain. Wenxi knew that her father must have placed the eels he caught at the foot of the mountain as promised. Wenxi nodded, "I see. I'll come find you tomorrow."

After Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui left, Wen Xi locked the gate of the courtyard.

"Xiaoxi, are you hungry? Do you want me to cook noodles for you?" Shen Jiaojiao asked worriedly.

"No, I came back after eating." Wen Xi shook her head and refused. What she needed most now was rest, not food.

Jiang Yue said, "Xiaoxi, there is a pot of hot water in the pot."

Wen Xi nodded, "Got it, you all go back to your rooms and rest!"

After Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue returned to the room, looking back every step of the way, Wen Xi hurried to the kitchen to get hot water for washing, and then went back to the room to lie down. He had been very busy today and was too tired to move. He also didn't want to sign in. Anyway, the number of sign-ins would not be cancelled and could be accumulated until tomorrow or later.

I'm not going anywhere tomorrow. I'll just have a good rest at home.

The next morning, Wen Xi woke up hungry to the smell of food. She had almost finished the dinner she had had in the hospital on the way back, but she was tired and sleepy, so she didn't eat anything afterwards.

She stayed in bed for a while before getting up, dressing herself, and then coming over to sit with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to have breakfast, which was lotus seed glutinous rice porridge.

Wenxi was tired of eating one egg a day, but in order to keep his body healthy, he still had to eat eggs. After all, eggs were a rare nutritious product in this era.

People in the countryside use eggs to exchange for salt and seasonings. They are reluctant to eat eggs. Only boys in the family are qualified to eat eggs. Girls don’t even know what eggs taste like.

After eating the eggs, Wenxi ate the lotus seed glutinous rice porridge with a spoon. When she ate the lotus seeds, Wenxi was slightly stunned, because she thought of a few ponds not far from the Harvest Brigade. In summer, there was a scene of endless green lotus leaves reflecting the sun and the red lotus flowers. In her previous life, she did not notice whether there were people picking lotus seeds or digging lotus roots to eat. She could go and take a look in June.

As long as it is edible, it should not be wasted.

After eating a bowl of hot lotus seed glutinous rice porridge, Wen Xi felt warm all over. Fortunately, she had the foresight to put a week's worth of food in the cupboard, otherwise Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue would not even have enough to eat when she was not at home.
