The weather is still too hot now, and it would be uncomfortable to have any hair on the face, so Wen Xi simply tied up all her hair. But it was not the kind of bun that looked old-fashioned, but a playful and cute bun.

After that, Wen Xi went out. She first went to Lin Yiwan's house and asked her to come to their house for dinner the next night. Then she went to Donghua's house. Seeing that the door was not locked, she reached out and knocked on the door.

Donghua ran out to open the door and was delighted to see Wenxi. "Sister Xiaoxi, why are you here? I was just about to go pick mushrooms!"

It just rained hard today, so the mushrooms must have exploded.

Donghua has earned a lot of money by picking mushrooms and exchanging them for Wenxi. She can support herself without any problem. She will enroll in school at the end of the month, so she wants to pick more mushrooms and earn more money.

Wenxi handed a White Rabbit candy to Donghua and whispered, "Donghua, I need to find Brother Gu Huaian who bought your father's house. Can you help me call Brother Gu Huaian?"

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxi. I'll go call someone for her." Donghua happily took the candy and ran out the door.

After a while, Donghua came over with the tall Gu Huaian. Gu Huaian was stunned when he saw Wenxi sitting under the eaves. She was really as beautiful and charming as a fairy.

She is still young, but she already has such a stunning beauty. It is really hard to imagine what she will look like when she grows up.

Gu Huaian's heart was beating violently. He walked towards Wen Xi step by step. He was so nervous that he didn't know how to start talking.

"Comrade Wen...Comrade Wen, are you looking for me?" Gu Huaian asked nervously.

"Comrade Gu Huaian, bring Comrade Li Jianguo and Comrade Lu Mingxiu to our house for dinner tomorrow night." Wen Xi said.

Gu Huaian was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic and nodded repeatedly, "Comrade Wen, don't worry, we will definitely be there on time."

Wen Xi nodded, and told Donghua to be careful when picking mushrooms. Then she left Donghua's house and went to the educated youth site again, but she did not go in. Instead, she called Tian Shengnan from outside.

When Tian Shengnan came out, she was delighted to see Wenxi, "Xiaoxi, why are you here?"

She knew very well how reluctant Wen Xi was to come to the educated youth center, so Tian Shengnan was naturally surprised to see Wen Xi come to the educated youth center on his own initiative.

"Are you busy now?" Wen Xi asked.

Tian Shengnan shook her head. "Not busy, nothing."

Wen Xi reached out and took Tian Shengnan's arm. "Since you are not busy, then accompany me to the primary school! I heard that the primary school has been built and the teacher selection exam will be held in a few days. I just happen to have something to tell you!"

Tian Shengnan turned her head to look at Wen Xi, "What's the matter?"

"Don't be anxious!" Wen Xi smiled.

The two people walked slowly towards the school. The school was built on a piece of wasteland in Fengshou Brigade. Although it had earth walls and wooden structures, the school was very large and surrounded a large courtyard, feeling a bit like a Chinese courtyard.

"The school is built quite well!" Wen Xi exclaimed after seeing the school.

"What? Do you regret not signing up to be a teacher?" Tian Shengnan joked.

Wen Xi shook her head, "I'm not interested in being a teacher."

If she really wanted to be a teacher, she would not have given up the opportunity to apply. She graduated from high school, which was considered a high level of education in that era. If she had taken the exam, she might have been admitted. After all, she had never stopped learning.

"Shengnan, ask Song Lan and Zhou Bai to come to my house for dinner tomorrow night. I have something to tell you." Wen Xi said, "Don't bring rations or anything. Just the three of you will be fine."

"Is there anything good to say?" Tian Shengnan was very curious.

Wen Xi nodded, "I guess so!"

The two walked around the school and then turned back. Tian Shengnan said, "It just rained a while ago, and the mushrooms are fresh now. Why don't we go up the mountain to pick mushrooms together! Otherwise, it will be boring to just rest here."

"Okay, then you go back and get the basket, I'll wait for you at home." Picking mushrooms is fun and can make people feel better, so Wen Xi naturally agreed.

After that, the two people parted ways, one went back to the educated youth site and the other went home. When Tian Shengnan appeared outside the house, Wen Xi took the backpack and basket, locked the door, and went up the mountain to pick mushrooms with Tian Shengnan.

August and September are also the season for picking mushrooms. There are many mountains and forests, as well as plenty of rain, and all kinds of mushrooms grow wildly.

There are also rich varieties, including pine mushrooms, meat mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, grass mushrooms, thigh mushrooms, and copper green mushrooms.

Hazel mushrooms grow in patches, and everyone picks them in buckets. There are also copper green mushrooms, which, once discovered, are found in large patches. There are so many of them that you can quickly pick enough to fill a backpack.

There are also many wild fruits that ripen in August, such as wax gourd, wild kiwi, wild grapes, wild chestnuts, and some edible but unknown wild fruits...

As long as you are diligent, you can always find food in the mountains.

Wenxi and Tian Shengnan went mushroom picking together, but Wenxi did not take Tian Shengnan to the third and fourth mountains because the waterfalls were there. She took Tian Shengnan to places that everyone often went to. There were enough mushrooms on the mountain for everyone to pick, so there was no need to run so far.

The next day, they were going to have a dinner together. When going downstairs, Wen Xi sent Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue out to pick mushrooms, and asked them to bring back a backpack and a basket of mushrooms each. After they left, Wen Xi lit a fire and let smoke come out of the chimney, so that they would think she had started cooking dinner!

Afterwards, Wenxi used a rag to wipe the cooling bed that was usually used to dry mushrooms, and took out a watermelon, put it in a basin, soaked it with well water, and put a bowl of ice cubes in it.

Wen Xi knew how long it took to pick a backpack and a basket of mushrooms, so she kept calculating the time. Feeling that Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue would be back soon, she brought out all the mushrooms she had picked in advance and placed them on the dining table in the kitchen.

When Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came back and saw that Wen Xi had already prepared dinner, they were both very surprised, "Xiao Xi, why didn't you wait for us to come back and cook together?"

"I use two pots to cook it, it will be quick, so I don't need you. You should take a shower and change your clothes quickly, as everyone will probably be here soon." Wen Xi didn't want to hear their questions, so he urged them.

After that, they took turns to take a bath.

Everyone came after dark as if they had made an appointment. When they saw other people, they were all surprised and didn't understand why Wen Xi had gathered everyone together.

Gu Huaian, Lu Mingxiu and Li Jianguo had never seen so many delicious dishes before. Even at home, there were not so many delicious dishes on New Year’s Eve!

So the three of them were quite embarrassed. Fortunately, they brought gifts with them. It would have been really awkward if they had come empty-handed.
