Chapter 131 Cleaning the Canteen
Wen Xi raised his hand and immediately promised, "I promise I won't stand you up again."
Lin Yiwan then asked, "What about you? How are you handling your affairs?"
Wen Xi shook his head, "Nothing happened."
"That's good." Lin Yiwan nodded, and then Lin Yiwan shared the gossip she knew with Wen Xi, "Liang Zhaodi is pregnant, did you know?"
Wen Xi's eyes widened in surprise, then he shook his head, "I don't interact much with the villagers, so I really don't know about this!"
Lu Xiaoyun and Xia Minglei were frightened by what happened on New Year's Eve. Neither of them dared to go out to find a female companion in the city. Lu Xiaoyun then lived an obedient life with Liang Zhaodi.
Wen Xi doesn't care what happens to Lu Xiaoyun and Liang Zhaodi, as long as Lu Xiaoyun doesn't hook up with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue.
"When Zhu Jiawen's wife from the city came to him, Xu Xiaohong was already pregnant. After Zhu Jiawen was arrested, Xu Xiaohong planned to give birth to the child and raise it herself, but her family secretly gave her an abortion pill, and the child was gone. Now her family is looking for a new partner for her and plans to marry her off..."
Wen Xi sighed helplessly. Zhu Jiawen was a scumbag who was hurting others and himself. He had been married before going to the countryside, and his wife often wrote to him and sent him things. He also knew that he had a son, but he never mentioned these things. He coaxed the girls in the team to surround him, help him with work and bring him food. Xu Xiaohong stood out from the group of girls who admired him and successfully married him, but ended up starting her own painful life.
I hope that this time the Xu family can find a good partner for Xu Xiaohong, and that she won’t meet a scumbag again.
However, after Zhu Jiawen's incident became public, those girls who had been hanging around the male educated youth all day long were strongly warned by their family elders not to have any contact with the male educated youth anymore.
On the contrary, it has reduced a lot of worries for the male educated youth. In the past, they were always afraid that a glance would be misunderstood, and then they would be stuck with a dog-skin plaster that they couldn't get rid of.
After chatting with Lin Yiwan for a while and giving her half of the chocolate, Wenxi went back. Because she saw Lin Yiwan's mother planting vegetables in the yard, and knowing that the temperature was now suitable for planting vegetables, Wenxi planned to plant the vegetables so that she would have vegetables to eat after a while.
She had previously signed out a hoe, a shovel, and other farming tools, and now she no longer has to go to the tool room to borrow tools.
After Wen Xi returned, he did not go home immediately, but went directly to Jin Changfeng's house next door, took out a hoe, and trimmed the vegetable garden in the yard. Chen Dahua's family has been growing vegetables, so the vegetable garden in the yard is quite easy to clean up.
Wen Xi quickly cleaned up the vegetable garden, and then planted water spinach, green peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, zucchini, sweet potatoes, potatoes, watermelons, pumpkins, winter melons, cantaloupes... all the fruits and vegetables that did not require a rack in Jin Changfeng's yard.
They only planted ten trees of each kind. As there were three sisters to feed, they could not finish the produce of the ten trees.
Cucumbers, bitter gourds, loofahs, cantaloupes, cucumbers, lentils, cowpeas...all those that require trellises are planted in my own yard.
After planting the fruit and vegetable seedlings and watering them, Wen Xi was too tired to move. She quickly fetched water to wash the mud off her hands and fingers, then went back to her room to rest.
She only planted ten of each kind of fruit and vegetable today, and there are still twenty left. Wen Xi didn't want to meddle in other people's business and give them away to others. After all, these are things that every household has, just not as complete as she has here. However, if she wants vegetable seeds, she can go to other people's homes to exchange them.
She decided to find a place to plant the flowers near the waterfall and check on them every now and then.
The next day at noon, Wenxi came back from the waterfall and saw Aunt Meihua standing outside the courtyard gate. Wenxi hurried over to open the door, called Aunt Meihua in, and made a bowl of sugar water for Aunt Meihua. "Aunt Meihua, what's the matter with you coming to see me suddenly?"
Aunt Meihua looked at the neatly tidy yard and nodded in appreciation. Wenxi and the other three girls were really good. If everyone could be as honest, dutiful and capable as them, then her husband would have to suffer less and would have fewer gray hairs.
She still remembered that when Nie Xiulan and the others came over, they were making trouble every day. She thought at that time that they would definitely make a big mistake, and she didn't expect it to come true.
"Xiaoxi, I'm here to tell you that the team will officially start spring plowing tomorrow. You have to go cook. You have to go to the canteen to clean up the canteen this afternoon. You can't delay cooking tomorrow." Aunt Meihua reminded.
"Thank you Aunt Meihua for the reminder. I understand. After dinner, I will take Jiaojiao and Xiaoyue to clean up the cafeteria." Wen Xi said with a smile.
Wenxi lived here for two years in her previous life. She knew the canteen of the Fengshou Brigade. It was not the canteen built when they had communal meals in the past, but one built by the Fengshou Brigade themselves. It was a bamboo house built with bamboo from the mountains. It was near the river bend, only a few dozen meters away from where everyone washed their clothes.
The reason why we chose to build the canteen there is because it is convenient to get water there, and it is also convenient for everyone to wash up when they come to eat after work.
Especially now during the spring ploughing season, your whole body will be covered in mud. It is troublesome to go home and get water to wash it. You can just go to the river bend to wash it, stand in the shallow water, and bend down to wash it.
When the weather is hot, go to the river bend to take a shower and cool down before eating, and you can eat more bites of food.
At noon, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came back, and Wen Xi told them that they didn't have to go to work from the afternoon because the three of them would be responsible for cooking for everyone starting tomorrow.
In the afternoon, the three of them carried buckets and rags to the large canteen near the river bend. The canteen was a long bamboo house with some tables, chairs and benches inside.
When they arrived, there were already two aunties inside. They were also responsible for cooking. After all, there were hundreds of people in the Fengshou Brigade. If there were only three of them cooking, everyone might not be able to eat after a whole day.
Wen Xi brought Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to the two aunts and said politely, "Hello, aunts. I am Wen Xi, who is in charge of cooking."
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Shen Jiaojiao."
Jiang Yue also smiled and said, "I am Jiang Yue."
The two aunts also smiled and nodded, "Hello, we know all your business, you just work hard here from now on, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask us, now let's clean up first!"
Afterwards, the two aunts swept the floor in the bamboo house, and Wenxi and the other two went to the river bend to fetch water. After the floor was swept and there was no more dust, the three of them began to wipe the tables, chairs and benches.
