Lin Yihui poured the crayfish into the wooden basin and was about to return the barrel to Wen Xi. When he turned around, he saw Wen Xi standing there in extreme fear, and her eyes seemed to be staring at something terrible.

He followed her gaze and understood instantly, so he quickly put his hands on Wen Xi's shoulders and turned her around so that her back was facing the jujube tree.

Seeing her pale face and beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, Lin Yihui hurriedly lowered his voice and coaxed her, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Wen Xi rubbed her arms in despair, as if these bugs had already crawled all over her body. She was very brave and was not afraid of earthworms or cockroaches, but she was afraid of these green bugs that would sting people. Even if these things just fell on your body and didn't sting you actively, you would still be covered in bruises.

Moreover, the leaves of the jujube tree were covered with them so densely that her scalp felt tingling and all the hairs on her body seemed to stand up.

She didn't even know how Lin Yiwan's family lived under the jujube tree. Weren't they really afraid of being pricked by insects and getting all over their bodies, causing itchiness and pain?

Seeing Wen Xi's tears welling up in her eyes, Lin Yihui said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll take care of it in a moment."

Even foreigners can scare her like this, how is she going to live in the countryside from now on?

Wen Xi realized that the actions between the two were somewhat ambiguous, and then she took a step back with a red face, "Brother Lin, thank you, I'm fine."

When Lin Yiwan and his second and third brothers came in with their things, they saw Wenxi and his eldest brother standing very close to each other. After stuffing the things in his hands to his second brother, Lin Yiwan hurried over and pushed Lin Yihui away, "Brother, did you bully Xiaoxi?"

"Yiwan, Brother Lin didn't bully me. I was just scared and Brother Lin was just comforting me." Wen Xi took his two wooden barrels and left quickly.

The yard of Lin Yiwan’s house is really scary. There are so many foreign peppers.

Lin Yiwan looked at her elder brother. Although her elder brother's face was a yellowish wheat color, it would not be obvious if he blushed. However, his face was darker than usual, and it was obvious that he was blushing. Lin Yiwan asked with a smile, "Brother, are you interested in Xiaoxi? If you are interested in Xiaoxi, I will help you pursue her!"

Lin Yihui was stunned, then shook his head, "No, I just treat her as a little sister!"

Although Wenxi is very beautiful and nice, she is too delicate and not suitable for him, nor can she bear the responsibility of supporting the family.

The nature of his job means that he is destined to mistreat his family. After fulfilling his duties for the country, he will not be able to fulfill his duties for his family. Therefore, his other half must be strong and powerful, able to take care of his parents and family, and support his family.

Wen Xi is even afraid of insects. If they are really together, he won't be able to concentrate on his work. This will be a burden to him, and he will never allow himself to fall into this dilemma.

Even if he never gets married in this life, he will never leave the job he loves.

"Really?" Lin Yiwan stared at his elder brother with amusement.

"Of course it's true. If I take a fancy to someone, I will definitely bring him back to my nest." Lin Yihui turned around and went back to the house a little uncomfortably. After a while, he took a bamboo pole and knocked off all the leaves first, so that the insects on them would fall off with them.

Wen Xi returned home and asked Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to deliver the remaining crayfish to Lin Yiwan's house, while she started to cook lunch. Because they were going to Lin Yiwan's house to eat crayfish in the evening, they still had to have lunch at her own home at noon.

After having lunch at home, the three of them went to Lin Yiwan's house together, because they wanted to learn how to process crayfish. When they walked into Lin Yiwan's yard, they saw that the leaves of the jujube tree beside the well were gone, and a shed with thatched grass had been built in that place. Wen Xi immediately felt sorry. If he hadn't been scared by the crayfish on the tree, the jujube tree would not have had such a fate!

But when she saw the tree full of chili peppers, her scalp really went numb. She was not the kind of person who would scream and shout, and even if she was scared, she would not scream like others, but her scalp went numb and she almost collapsed.

"Xiaoxi, come here. I'll teach you how to cook crayfish. You can catch crayfish and eat them often in the future." Lin Yiwan picked up an old crimson crayfish and said, "First, use scissors to cut off the crayfish head along this line so that you won't be pinched by the crayfish. Then, pull out the shrimp thread. Just pinch the tail to pull it out. Then simply brush the outside of the crayfish a few times and it'll be done."

"Okay, I know how to deal with it." Wen Xi walked over and sat down, reaching out to grab the crayfish from the basin, but the fresh crayfish were waving their big claws with their teeth bared, making it impossible for her to start.

Now that she was at Lin Yiwan's house, it was not convenient for her to take gloves out from the system warehouse.

"Let me take care of the first step, and you guys handle the rest." Lin Yihui brought a chair and sat next to Wen Xi. He then began to process the crayfish, cutting off half of the crayfish's hard head and then throwing the processed crayfish into the empty basin next to him.

After he cut out a basin of crayfish, Wenxi began to pull out the shrimp thread. After all, he had never processed crayfish in his life. He was not skilled at first, but he soon got the hang of it.

Wen Xi and Lin Yiwan were pulling out the shrimp threads, while Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were responsible for scrubbing the crayfish with a straw brush.

After a while, Lin Yiwan's second brother Lin Yifeng and third brother Lin Yilin came to help. Lin Yiwan's family gathered together, which surprised Wen Xi. He didn't know why Lin Yiwan's family had this gathering. Thinking of this, Wen Xi asked in a low voice, "Brother Lin, is there anything going on in your family today?"

"Today is Yiwan's birthday." Lin Yihui said.

Wen Xi suddenly realized, and she said, if nothing happened, why would the Lin family go to such great lengths to hold a party? Even Lin Yihui, who was in the army, came back. It was estimated that Lin Yihui specially saved his vacation for this time just to celebrate Lin Yiwan's birthday!

Fortunately, there were some things in her system warehouse. She would go back and pick out a birthday gift for Lin Yiwan. Otherwise, she would feel bad going to dinner empty-handed.

Thinking of her second brother who was so kind to her, Wen Xi felt a little dazed for a moment. She hadn't heard from him for half a year, and she didn't know if her parents and second brother were particularly worried and were asking around for news about her.

Or have they already believed the elder sister's words and are extremely disappointed in her?

Wen Xi had always wanted to contact his family and had never stopped writing letters to them, but his family never received the letters. He didn't know where his elder sister got such great connections and power.
