Chapter 26 Hothouse Meal
After dark, all the people who were invited by Wenxi to have the warm-house meal came. It was not convenient for Wenxi, a little girl, to go and invite Jin Changfeng, a grown man, so she asked Captain Qian to help call them. After all, when she went to Captain Qian's house that day, she saw Jin Changfeng and Captain Qian standing in the yard and talking, and Jin Changfeng lived next door to Captain Qian's house, so the relationship between the two should be quite good.
Jin Changfeng followed Captain Qian into the house. Seeing that Wen Xi seemed to be in a good mood, he felt relieved. After all, he lived a little far away from here, and he didn't know what happened here last night. It was not until this morning that he found out that Wen Xi was framed in the middle of the night. After hearing about this, he immediately came to find Wen Xi, but Wen Xi had already left.
Later he waited under the jujube tree at the entrance of the village, but she never showed up. He guessed that she had come back from the small road. After all, such a big thing had happened, and it was inevitable that people would point fingers at her.
He knew very well the character of the villagers, and really couldn't expect them to say anything good about him.
Chang Qingqing who lived next door heard the noise coming from here, so she brought her family over, but she also brought a plate of fried eggs with leeks, because eggs were the only thing they had at home.
"Sister, you can just come over. Why bring the dishes? Isn't this just a waste of money for you?" Wen Xi said embarrassedly and quickly asked everyone to sit down.
Afterwards, he, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue brought over the dishes that were warm in the rice pot one by one. There was meat and soup, and it was very rich. Everyone looked incredulous.
Captain Qian disagreed and said, "Xiaoxi, you just arrived in the countryside. You will need money a lot in the future. You should save money. Why did you prepare such a sumptuous meal?"
Aunt Meihua also smiled sheepishly, "Yeah, just stir-fry two dishes."
Buying a house and furniture, hundreds of dollars are gone. Even if the three of them have more money, they can't afford to spend like this!
"Uncle Qian, Aunt Meihua, don't worry. Today is the housewarming meal, so we made it a little more sumptuous. We will definitely not do this again in the future. Even if we want to, we don't have the conditions. Don't you agree?" Worried that everyone would be embarrassed to eat meat, Wen Xi picked up the soup spoon and scooped a full spoonful of braised pork stewed with potatoes for everyone.
Wenxi bought a house and three sets of furniture, but she dared not let others think that she still had money. Otherwise, those people in the village would come to plot against her. What should she do?
How could she, Shen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue, three weak women, be a match for the unruly people?
"Thank you all uncles and aunts for coming to our house-warming party. We don't have the conditions to prepare any good dishes, so I hope you can understand us!" Wenxi picked up the teacup and toasted everyone. "Thank you all for your help and care over the past few days. We just came to the countryside and there are still many things we don't understand. We don't know how long we will live here. I hope you will treat us as your own family, understand us, and teach us. I'm here to use tea instead of wine to toast everyone."
Seeing this, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue quickly stood up and expressed their opinions like Wen Xi, leaving a good impression on everyone.
After all, no one is sure how many years they will live here, so it would be better for their future survival if they build good relationships. Now that the relationship with the educated youth point has broken down before they have even had any contact with them, the only one they can rely on is the village.
Zhu Jiawen and Chu Waner are not good people. If you want to get their protection, you might as well get the protection of the villagers!
"Xiaoxi, Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, you are too polite. Please sit down and eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold soon. Now that you have joined our big family, come to me if you have any problems in the future. I will naturally not let those wicked people bully you."
Who doesn't like well-behaved and sensible children? Aunt Meihua also likes them very much. If it weren't for the fact that her sons were all married, she really wanted to let these three girls be her daughters-in-law.
After all, it's not easy to meet a sensible and reasonable girl.
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Aunt Meihua." After the three of them sat down, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Everyone also started eating with a smile on their face.
As soon as he took a bite, his eyes brightened up. He didn't expect that the potatoes that everyone usually eats can be so soft, sticky and sweet made by Wenxi. They can be easily broken with chopsticks.
"Xiaoxi, your cooking skills are really good. You can make such ordinary potatoes so delicious." Aunt Meihua said with emotion.
Wen Xi smiled modestly, "Actually, potatoes are delicious to begin with, so they can be especially delicious if they are processed casually. The reason why the potatoes I cook are delicious is because I have all the seasonings here. When I went to the countryside, I didn't know what to bring with me. I thought that I would have to eat in the countryside, and to eat I would need pots, pans, and seasonings, so I brought some seasonings with me as well!"
"Even the plates for the dishes, the bowls and chopsticks we use for eating, we brought them all from home!"
After hearing this, Captain Qian and Aunt Meihua nodded in appreciation. They were indeed different. Others would bring nice clothes and delicious food when they went to the countryside, but they were the only ones who planned ahead and made all preparations so they would never go hungry wherever they went.
Afterwards, everyone ate and talked. Wen Xi thought of something important and spoke up quickly, "Aunt Meihua, I heard that every household can raise three chickens. I also want to raise three chickens. Can you please help us arrange this, Aunt Meihua?"
"Xiaoxi, don't worry. I'll take care of this matter. When spring comes after the New Year, I'll help you get the chicks back. By the way, what kind of chicken do you want?" Aunt Meihua said.
"I want two hens and a rooster. I'll build a chicken coop in the corner of the yard and raise the chickens. I'll have eggs to exchange for seasonings in the future."
"Okay, I will definitely help you get the chicks back when the time comes." Aunt Meihua promised.
"Uncle Qian, please help us arrange electricity for our home. The candles we brought from the countryside are almost used up." The Fengshou Brigade does have electricity, but not many families use it. Most families still use cheap kerosene lamps.
As for the house that Wenxi bought, no one lived there when electricity was first installed, so no one cared about it. Now that they have moved in, they naturally have to connect the electricity.
"Xiaoxi, don't worry, uncle will definitely arrange this matter for you..."
After the meal, both the host and the guests were delighted!
After seeing everyone off, Wen Xi walked into the yard and closed the door, only then did he see the food placed by the door.
