Chapter 177 Miscarriage
Although it is only early summer, the sun is very hot. It was just after nine in the morning and everyone was so hot that they couldn't stand it and sweat was streaming down their foreheads.
Wen Xi had prepared breakfast long before Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue got up, and then went up the mountain to collect grass for the pigs. After all, she had only taken two days off, so naturally she had to go up the mountain to collect grass for the pigs today.
However, Wenxi is on the mountain, where there are many trees and lush vegetation, so it is not that hot.
There are a lot of insects on the mountain, so you can't wear short sleeves. Wenxi wore long sleeves and long pants, and covered his head tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed. It's not very breathable, so it's quite hot.
Wen Xi walked while knocking on the grass with a bamboo stick to scare away the snakes. A bite from a non-venomous snake would only hurt for a moment, but a bite from a poisonous snake could be fatal, so she was extremely cautious.
The waterfall is in the valley between the third and fourth hills, and the stream does not flow in the team's direction, so the people in the team did not know that there was a waterfall or a stream there, which completely benefited Wenxi, an outsider.
In June, many fruits began to ripen slowly. Wenxi saw that all the plums, peaches, and apricots were ripe, so she picked the ripe ones and left the unripe ones until they ripened.
Wenxi went to the waterfall. The previous heavy rain caused the water level in the stream to surge and the flow rate increased a lot. Wenxi felt regretful when he thought that the crab seedlings he had released might have been washed downstream.
However, breeding and planting depend on the weather. If the weather is bad, there will be no harvest. Unlike Lin Yiwan's space, which has a short growth time, fast growth and high yield, Wenxi cannot envy it.
Wenxi picked all the vegetables that could be harvested from the planted stream. He also planted a few watermelons here, but the watermelons have not grown up yet. Each one is round and about the size of a bowl. They should be ripe and ready to pick in another half a month.
After that, Wenxi went down the mountain and came to the place where everyone often picked grass for pigs. He met a few older children and asked them, "Hello, I'm Wenxi. I need your help with something. Are you willing to help me?"
"Sister Wen, is there anything you need our help with?" asked one of the little girls in her early teens.
"You all know how to catch cicada monkeys, right?" Wen Xi asked.
The little girl raised her arm and wiped her eyes that were stung by sweat with her clothes. She nodded, "Yes, we often catch cicada monkeys and roast them. Cicada monkeys are very delicious. Do you want to eat some, Sister Wen?"
Wen Xi hurriedly shook her head to deny it. She didn't like eating cicada monkeys. No matter how delicious they were, she didn't dare to try them. Wen Xi took out some fruit candies and gave one to each of the children in front of her. "Aren't we going to harvest wheat in a few days? In order to let everyone have vegetables to eat, I want you to help me catch some cicada monkeys. One pound of cicada monkeys in exchange for one piece of fruit candy. Are you willing?"
As soon as the words fell, Wen Xi heard the sound of swallowing saliva. She sighed in her heart, it’s all because of poverty!
Hey……
"Sister Wen, are you telling the truth?" the leading little girl asked in disbelief.
"Of course it's true!" Wen Xi smiled and nodded, "On the morning of the wheat harvest, you brought the cicada monkeys to the cafeteria to exchange for fruit candies from me."
After making an appointment with the children, Wenxi went down the mountain and went home, because the postman would deliver the mail back at noon. No matter whether it was a letter from He Chenan or not, Wenxi wanted to receive it first unless there was something important.
At noon, Wen Xi indeed received He Chenan's letter. He had been told several times not to waste time writing letters, but he simply didn't listen, so Wen Xi just ignored it.
Let him write if he likes. This way he can improve his writing skills and publish some medical papers in the future.
In the afternoon, when Wen Xi was changing the water for the crayfish in the yard, he heard a knock on the door. He got up to open the door. Seeing that it was Lin Yiwan, Wen Xi let her in.
"Xiaoxi, you haven't been at home these two days. Is something wrong?" Lin Yiwan asked with concern as soon as she entered the door.
Wen Xi nodded, "Yes, I had to deal with a small matter."
As soon as Lin Yiwan entered the yard, she saw the crayfish and asked, "Are you planning to eat crayfish?"
Wen Xi shook her head, "No, just change the water."
Lin Yiwan smiled and said, "If you want to eat crayfish, you have to add this much to be enough, otherwise it won't be enough."
Crayfish has more shell than meat, with only a tiny bit of meat on the tail. One person could not be satisfied even if they ate ten kilograms of it. But no one knew that it was edible, so she would bring her family to enjoy a satisfying meal every summer.
During the busy farming season, we would eat in the canteen. We would have their family-cooked crayfish as a midnight snack and drink some homemade fruit wine. It was such a treat.
Thinking of this, Lin Yiwan's eyes lit up, and then she said, "Xiaoxi, how about this? Tomorrow night, we will cook the crayfish together, and I will teach you how to cook it myself. How about that?"
Wen Xi thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll catch more tonight."
Wheat harvest will begin in two days, so it would be appropriate to have a dinner party tomorrow night.
Inviting Lin Yiwan to sit down in the main hall to rest, Wenxi washed a bowl of plums and brought them over. "When I was collecting grass for pigs, I came across a plum tree on the mountain, so I picked the ripe plums. They are sour and sweet, and very juicy. They are delicious. You can try them."
"Okay." Lin Yiwan reached out, took a plum and started eating.
She herself had no shortage of fruit, so she didn't go up the mountain to compete with the other kids in the team for this scarce resource. Lin Yiwan naturally wouldn't ask Wen Xi where she picked the plums.
Everything on the mountain has no owner, so naturally it belongs to whoever finds it.
Lin Yiwan chatted with Wen Xi for a while and was about to go back. When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Wen Xi and said, "The new educated youth are on their way. They will probably arrive in the next two days."
Wen Xi nodded, "That's just in time for wheat harvest, let them suffer a little."
There wasn't a single one with correct values in this batch of educated youth. They were all spoiled and arrogant. Wen Xi suffered a lot at their hands. There was an older girl who threw dirty clothes in front of her every day and forced her to wash them without saying a word of thanks, let alone giving her any benefits.
Moreover, she had a male bootlicker and a female lackey by her side. Wen Xi had no way to resist them alone and suffered a lot at their hands.
Wenxi no longer lives in a youth education center in this life, so naturally he won't have any interactions with them, but Wenxi doesn't want them to have an easy life.
"By the way, Chu Wan'er had a miscarriage." Lin Yiwan dropped another bombshell.
