Chapter 102 Follow the Right Person
After watching Wen Xi get on the car and drive away, He Chenan turned around and went back. He had not had time to clean up the food yet. Such delicious food could not be wasted.
Those who went to the market in the morning returned around noon. Although they didn't want to buy anything, they all ended up carrying dozens of kilograms of things.
In addition to the poultry that Wenxi asked them to buy, they also bought some coarse grains. Eating fine grains every day was too luxurious. They should eat some coarse grains together, so that they could save some money. Moreover, their life in the countryside was really good, with meat for every meal. Even the rich people in the city could not reach this standard of living!
In addition, they also bought some peanuts, soybeans and broad beans, which they could fry and serve to entertain guests during the New Year. After all, they had no tickets, so they could only buy some free tickets from farmers during the market.
When they got home, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were almost exhausted. They rested for a while, made a cup of malted milk, and soaked some small fried dough twists. That was how they had their lunch.
After that, the two of them started to process the poultry. Both of them were not favored in their original families and had to work since they were young, so they were very efficient in handling these things.
Soon the two of them had cleaned up the chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, chopped them up and put them in a basin, even leaving the internal organs and cleaning them thoroughly.
The two of them sent these things to the kitchen together. Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, only after living with you do I know what a good life is."
As Shen Jiaojiao put her things away, she said, "If you know what a good life is, cherish it and take care of yourself. Don't do anything that will disappoint us. Anyway, I'm determined to be with Xiaoxi for the rest of my life. No matter where Xiaoxi goes in the future, I will go with her."
Wenxi is the best person in the world who treats her best. If it weren't for Wenxi, she would have died long ago. Moreover, her parents could not give her the happy life she has now, but Wenxi could. This also shows that Wenxi is a very capable person.
A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. Only by following the right person can you have a future. Shen Jiaojiao firmly believes that Wen Xi is the right person in her life, her benefactor.
Jiang Yue thought about it and nodded seriously, "I will definitely try my best to get closer to you."
After all, she, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue are not from the same place, they are just on the same train line. It will definitely not be easy for her to develop with Wen Xi and Shen Jiaojiao. It's just that Jiang Yue herself doesn't know what the future will be like. But she will set a goal for herself. As for her hometown, she definitely doesn't want to go back.
She was not favored at home. No one, including her parents, brothers and sisters, wrote to her or sent her things. She was simply abandoned by her family. Even if she went back, there would be no place for her at home. Instead of going back to be a workhorse, she might as well be a workhorse for Wenxi!
Because she works as a workhorse for Wenxi, she doesn't have to do a lot of things. She just has to do the tasks assigned to her. She is so happy. Before, she worked more and ate less at home, and she was also a punching bag. She didn't even know what it felt like to be full. Now, not only can she eat a full meal every day, but every meal has fine grains and meat. This is something she never dared to think about before.
Wenxi got off the car and walked onto the country road leading to Fengshou Brigade. Thinking of the relatively remote lotus pond, Wenxi decided to go over and take a look, so he set foot on the ridge leading to the lotus pond.
After walking around for a while, we finally arrived at the lotus pond. In the pond, only the skinny lotus leaves were left standing in the chilly winter wind. These withered lotus leaves unexpectedly had a unique charm.
Wen Xi did not waste any time. He took out the bucket from the sea-hunting suit, fetched a bucket of clean water from the lotus pond, took out a bottle of fish anesthetic, poured a bottle cap into the bucket, stirred it evenly with a ladle, then put on his boots, carried the wooden bucket to the rice field with water near the lotus pond, and poured the water in the wooden bucket into the rice field one scoop at a time like pouring manure.
The rice fields are small and the water is shallow, so naturally you don't need a whole bottle of fish anesthetic like you do when fishing in a river bay. Not much has been signed out to begin with, so naturally you have to use it sparingly.
Soon, after walking around the small rice field in front of him, Wenxi returned to the shore and waited. After a while, he saw the eels crawling out of the mud hole and then falling asleep in the mud.
Wenxi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that fish anesthetic would also be effective on eels. However, eels did not float on the water like fish, but sank to the bottom. No wonder he didn't see a single eel when he was fishing in the river bay at night, but there were eels in the fish and shrimp nets and ground traps. It seemed that the eels sank to the bottom, and the water in the river bay was so deep that they could not be seen at all.
Wenxi waited for a few more minutes, and when she felt the time was about right, she walked into the rice field, carrying a bucket in one hand and a pair of pliers in the other, and began her 'catch the sea' activity.
The aquatic resources in this era are really abundant. In such a small rice field, she didn't pick any eels when she was little, but in the end she picked up two full buckets. She put them into the system warehouse with satisfaction, changed her shoes, and went home. If this fish anesthetic is so useful, she can catch eels by herself in the future.
She wanted to take advantage of these two years to earn more money and save enough funds to start a business. She couldn't ask her family for money after returning to the city. Not to mention whether her family had money, even if they did, they might not support her. After all, she was not the only child in the family, and it would be unfair to other children if she asked her parents for support, so she decided to rely on herself for everything.
When they were almost at the intersection of Fengshou Brigade, Wen Xi took out the things she had packed earlier, put them in a backpack, and then went back carrying dozens of kilograms of things.
After that, every night Wenxi would go to the river bend to set up the fish and shrimp nets. During the day, Wenxi would find opportunities to go out and catch eels in remote rice fields. Moreover, she took the "Rejuvenating Pill", so even if someone happened to see her catching eels, they would not recognize her as Wenxi.
As soon as Wenxi entered the room, Shen Jiaojiao came over and took the backpack from Wenxi's back, "Xiaoxi, you've worked hard, go and have a rest."
Wen Xi walked to the table, poured himself a cup of hot water, and sat directly on the bench. Although he had been carrying an empty backpack all the way and only moved the things out when he arrived at the Harvest Brigade, it was still very tiring to carry dozens of kilograms of things all the way here.
"Xiaoxi, what is this?" Shen Jiaojiao was sorting out the things in the backpack and was surprised to see a package of things she had never seen before.
Wen Xi turned his head and took a look, then said, "Those are hot pot ingredients."
Wen Xi had decided to have hotpot on New Year's Eve, but on New Year's Eve, Song Lan and three others came over to have dinner together, so it was not appropriate to take out these things, because these things should not be known to too many people, and only the three of them needed to know about it.
