After going to the countryside, I rely on the sign-in system to bring my sisters along

The matter was settled, and the two looked at each other. He Chenan felt as sweet as if he had eaten candy.

Wenxi took out a few lotus pods from the backpack, placed them on the stone table, and peeled out the lotus seeds one by one. The lotus seeds were very tender, and the outer skin was green, which could be cut open with a light scratch of the fingernail.

He Chenan picked up a lotus pod and asked curiously, "Xiaoxi, what is this?"

"This is a lotus seed pod, which is the fruit that grows after the lotus flower withers. It can be eaten when it is tender." Wen Xi peeled a lotus seed, split it in half with her fingernails, took out the slightly bitter lotus seed core in the middle, and then handed the white lotus seed flesh to He Chenan, "Try it."

"Did you pick them by going into the water?" He Chenan looked at Wen Xi disapprovingly.

Wen Xi smiled and said, "The water is very shallow, only up to the knees. Don't worry, I won't go into deep water. I'm not a fool."

He Chenan then ate the lotus seeds. They had no taste, just crispy, but not bad. He could eat them as a snack to pass the time.

After watching Wen Xi peel a few, He Chenan knew how to peel them, so he started peeling them together. When he saw He Chenan was about to throw away the sticky lotus seed core, Wen Xi hurriedly stopped him, "This lotus seed core can be soaked in water to drink. I want to keep it to dry and soak in water to drink."

The two of them shared the two lotus pods. Wen Xi raised her hand to check the time. Seeing that it was almost time for He Chenan to start work in the afternoon, she said, "It's almost time for you to go to work. Let's go!"

He Chenan carried the backpack and came to the vicinity of the hospital. He Chenan handed the backpack to Wen Xi, watched her get on the car, and then He Chenan walked into the hospital.

When Wenxi Wenxi got out of the car, the scorching sun made it impossible for her to open her eyes. She hurriedly covered her forehead with her hands and then ran to a tree beside the country road.

There was no way she could walk for more than an hour in the blazing sun.

At this time, two large trucks drove towards this side. Wen Xi hurriedly retreated to the edge of the road, fearing that she would be accidentally injured. As a result, the first truck stopped in front of her, and then a familiar face appeared.

It’s Gu Ningzhi from the transport team.

"Comrade, I'm going to the countryside. How about you show me the way and I'll take you part of the way?" Gu Ningzhi asked.

No wonder it’s so hard to meet her in the city. I didn’t expect she lives in the countryside.

Since he is a country boy, her determination is even stronger. If it were anyone else, she would have given herself to him long ago, considering that he has an enviable job as a driver.

"The commune secretary sent us here. If you don't trust us, don't you trust the secretary either?" Gu Ningzhi got out of the car and walked in front of Wen Xi.

Wen Xi thought about it and nodded in agreement. After all, she had a system and ordinary people could not hurt her.

Otherwise, you have to wait here until evening before you can go back. Even if you don’t get sunburned to death, you will be scalded to death by the scorching air. After all, it takes such a long time!

Gu Ningzhi opened the car door and asked Wen Xi to get in. Then he quickly got in as well. "Comrade, we are going to the Harvest Brigade. Could you please show us the way?"

When Wen Xi heard the word Harvest Brigade, she was slightly surprised. Could it be that this person had been asking about her without even asking her name?

But when he thought about what she had just said that the secretary sent him, then he probably didn't come for her. Wen Xi finally felt relieved. He got off the car at the brigade in front of the Fengshou Brigade, pointed them in the direction of the Fengshou Brigade, and then took a detour back from another brigade.

Before reaching home, Wenxi transferred some things into his backpack and went straight home. When he opened the gate, the whole yard was quiet. Even the chickens in the chicken coop were lying in the shade in a daze.

Hearing the sound, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came out of their respective rooms. Shen Jiaojiao quickly poured Wen Xi a glass of boiled water, "Are you starving? Drink a glass of water quickly."

Wen Xi put down the backpack, took the teacup handed to him by Shen Jiaojiao, and started to drink it up. He had only been walking for a short while, but he didn't expect it to be so hot.

Jiang Yue went to the well to fetch a basin of water and brought it to the table in the main room. Wen Xi quickly wet a towel and wiped his face, neck, and armpits where the temperature was too high.

After tidying up like this, it is indeed much cooler.

"Xiaoxi, just as you left the house this morning, Tian Shengnan came to find us and said that we would have dinner together tonight to welcome the new educated youth." Shen Jiaojiao took out all the things in the backpack and put them on the table.

Wen Xi nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I got it. I'll go out and pick some celery and bring them back so they can have enough to eat tonight."

When they first arrived, the old educated youth held a welcoming banquet for them. At that time, she cooked three wild vegetable dishes and served them over. She also specially used her cooking skills to make the wild vegetables taste average.

It wouldn't work this time, because everyone in the Harvest Brigade knew that she was a great cook. If she cooked casually again, everyone would know that she was deliberately fooling others.

Wen Xi asked Shen Jiaojiao to wash the meat and bones she brought back and rub salt on them to prevent them from getting smelly. Then she carried the basket and went out.

Arriving at the river bend, Wenxi lifted up several bamboo baskets placed in the water and caught the small fish and shrimps inside. Then he picked up half a basket of small celery at the edge of the river bend, processed and washed them directly in the river bend, so that he would not have to go through any trouble when returning home.

There should be twenty people having dinner together tonight. If I don’t prepare more dishes, there may not be enough for everyone to eat.

After returning home, Wen Xi went to the foot of the mountain behind and picked a basket of purslane. After returning home again, Wen Xi asked Shen Jiaojiao to wash the purslane, while she and Jiang Yue went to the kitchen to cook.

The celery and purslane were stir-fried directly. As for the small fish and shrimps, she first made the spicy soup base, and then put the palm-sized crucian carps into it one by one. She specially picked twenty crucian carps of similar size to prevent someone from nitpicking and complaining that the fish they ate was smaller than others.

Even though they are all junior high school or high school graduates, their quality is not good enough to praise them. They can really do such things.

In the evening, three people, each carrying a basket, walked towards the educated youth site.

When she arrived at the gate of the educated youth center, although the gate was open, Wen Xi still politely reached out and knocked on the door. Having learned from the previous experience, she didn't want to give others the opportunity to plot against her again.

"Xiaoxi, you are here." Song Lan saw them coming and happily came over to greet them. After all, Wenxi had provided them with help many times.

Although we meet in the cafeteria every day, it has been a long time since we had a proper gathering.
