GBP Chapter 76 Tofu and Crucian Carp Stew
Chapter 76 Tofu and Crucian Carp Stew
When they were still one or two kilometers away from the Harvest Brigade, Wen Xi hurriedly said, "Brother Yan, I'll get off here."
Yan Zheng pushed his feet on the ground to stop the bicycle, then turned around and wanted to help Wen Xi get off the bike, but Wen Xi jumped down by himself and landed on the ground.
"Brother Yan, thank you for today. Just send me here. It's not far from the production team. I can walk back by myself." Wen Xi stood in front of Yan Zheng with a backpack on her back. She felt very embarrassed when she thought of the physical contact before.
The little girl had very fair skin, and under the winter sun, her skin was even whiter than a porcelain doll. Yan Zheng just looked at her and really wanted to hold the little girl in his arms and cherish her.
"Xiaoxi, I will come to the village to find you when I have completely finished the things I am doing. If you have any questions, just call me and they will tell me when they receive the call." Yan Zheng was also afraid that he was too busy with work and the little girl would forget about him, but he didn't have time to come over until the matter was resolved.
"Brother Yan, you are so busy, don't let my affairs delay your work." Wen Xi smiled faintly, then walked away from Yan Zheng with a backpack on his back and headed towards the harvest team.
After walking several meters, intending to put the things in the backpack into the system warehouse first, he subconsciously looked back and saw Yan Zheng still standing there with the bicycle, looking in the direction of Wen Xi.
Wen Xi quickly turned back and continued walking forward, giving up the idea of cheating. After all, people like them should be very perceptive.
Yan Zheng waited until he could no longer see Wen Xi's back before he reluctantly rode away on his bicycle. He wanted to quickly resolve the issue of the human traffickers so that he could come to the village to assert his sovereignty, and no one would dare to bully Wen Xi anymore.
The countryside was too dangerous, and he was afraid that a little girl from Wenxi wouldn't be able to handle it.
As soon as Wen Xi returned home, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came to greet her, "Xiao Xi, have you had lunch?"
"I just came back after eating." Wen Xi walked into the main room carrying a backpack, came to the table, took out the things in the backpack one by one and placed them on the table.
"What is this?" Jiang Yue picked up a roll of white, soft toilet paper and asked in confusion.
Wen Xi hurriedly explained, "This is toilet paper. When I was buying toilet paper, I happened to see that the supply and marketing cooperative had new toilet paper, so I bought it and tried it to see if it works. If it works, we will use this toilet paper in the future."
"This paper feels more comfortable than a handkerchief. It must be very expensive, right?" Shen Jiaojiao also quickly took a roll of paper and touched it carefully. She didn't expect that there would be such good paper now.
"It's not bad. It's just a little more expensive than toilet paper. I can afford it. Don't worry!" Wen Xi distributed sanitary napkins to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. "Jiaojiao, Jiang Yue, when you have your period next time, don't use menstrual belts anymore. Use this sanitary napkin. Keep it for now. I'll teach you how to use it when your period comes."
Shen Jiaojiao took a look in the backpack and saw that Wen Xi had left a portion for her, so she nodded, "Xiao Xi, thank you! I don't know how to thank you."
Wenxi doesn't care about these things. After all, she can earn money. Prices are not high in this era, and the three sisters don't actually spend much money.
Moreover, many things are signed out and are free of charge, so why not use them?
"Jiaojiao, put a small basket in the toilet. From now on, we can put the used paper and sanitary napkins in the basket, and then burn them when cooking. Try not to let others see it."
Others don’t matter, the most important one is Lin Yiwan. She came from the modern era and she can tell at a glance that these things are not in line with this era.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue also understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth. Others couldn't even afford toilet paper, but now they were using such good toilet paper. If others saw this, they really didn't know what they would say about them.
If they have good things, they just need to eat and use them quietly in private. There is no need to be seen by others, and there is no need to show off outside and let others think they are rich. It is hard to guarantee that it will not cause any unnecessary trouble.
Just like before, didn’t Nie Xiulan frame Wen Xi because of Wen Xi’s watch and wanted to take Wen Xi’s watch away?
"Jiaojiao, take the tofu to the kitchen. I'll make tofu stewed fish for you in the evening." After Wen Xi sorted out the things in the backpack, he went back to the room to rest, and left the rest of the work to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue.
Wen Xi woke up from a nap. It was almost evening. She stretched and got up full of energy. She brushed her teeth and washed up to make herself completely awake. Then she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Wenxi took out the small fish that he had cleaned earlier and fried them in a pan until both sides were golden brown, so that the fish meat would not break into powder when used to make soup.
After the tofu and fish stew was ready, Wenxi filled a bowl with a dough bowl and brought it to the next room for Chang Qingqing. The fish were not big, the largest crucian carp was only the size of a palm, so Wenxi didn't count them and just randomly filled as many as he could.
"Sister, I made fish stew with tofu and brought some to you to try."
Chang Qingqing quickly stretched out her hands to take the stewed fish with tofu. "It smells good, it must be delicious. Thank you, Xiaoxi! Every time you make delicious food, you think of us. We don't know how to repay you."
"Sister, don't say thank you anymore in the future. They say that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. The three of us don't have any relatives here, so don't we rely on you to guide us in the future?" Wen Xi said with a smile, "Sister, there is nothing to do in the team now, and I don't have anything to do either. So starting from tomorrow night, I will teach Yuanyuan and Huihui to read and write. Let Yuanyuan and Huihui go directly over after dinner."
It doesn’t matter how long the evening class lasts, as long as it doesn’t affect her going to collect fish under the waterfall in the morning. She also wants to earn more money before going to work after the New Year!
This way, when she returns to the city in the future, she will have money to start a business. She can't ask her parents for money to start a business!
"By the way, Xiaoxi, I suddenly remembered something. There will be a movie showing in the threshing ground at six o'clock tomorrow night. We have waited in line for a long time and it is finally the turn of the Harvest Team to show the movie. Not only the children are looking forward to it, but we adults also want to watch the movie! Let's go watch it together then! I have been thinking about telling you after you come back, but as I was thinking about it, I forgot about it." Chang Qingqing said embarrassedly.
Wen Xi was a little surprised. Maybe it was because it had been so long that she had forgotten all the little things from her previous life. She didn't even think about showing a movie tomorrow.
